Park is nice, lots of security. At first I was nervous about camping so close to a large city but there are multiple gates they lock at night and it seems like a park staff member drives the loop every few hours during the day. Two complaints would be, whole campground was flooded and the wave pool was closed. the cement pad we parked on and roads were not wet but all land surrounding it was. This meant we didn’t spend much time outside.

We visited Bayou Segnette State Park in March 2021. We needed a stop on our way west and the private parks in the area were expensive and did not have the best reviews. We also visited the National World War II Museum while we were here (15 minutes away). There was some standing water around the sites, but the sites were built up high enough that it was not an issue. The location and price of this park make it a great place to stay if you are visiting New Orleans (15-20 minutes away). We would stay here again if we were in the area.

We stayed here 2 nights in April. The first night we had a torrential thundershower, and the next day all campsites were surrounded by little ponds. There were swarms of mosquitos, so you pretty much had to stay in your RV in the evening. Laundry and shower facilities were excellent. Very quiet, aside from the occasional airboat going by on the adjacent Bayou (Why are they so loud?). This is very convenient for visiting the New Orleans French Quarter -- just park at the Park 1st Basin Parking lot.

It was ok in general. It was close to New Orleans. The park was full of standing water and bugs. The wooden deck was rotted and unsafe.

It was ok in general. It was close to New Orleans. The park was full of standing water and bugs. The wooden deck was rotted and unsafe. Due to the standing water, there was no dry place to walk our dogs, except in the road where people did not follow the speed limit. All of the hiking trails are at the day use area, so very inconvenient. It appears on the map that the sites are very close to the water, but they aren’t. To get to the water, you have to go on the other side of the levee wall. We did not put our kayaks in, so cannot attest to the water or boat docks. The park itself it actually located off very busy roads and run down houses. We were uncomfortable leaving our rig because there were some shady people staying in the park.

We wanted a hub close to NOLA at a reasonable price. This state park was perfect, as it was just a 25 min drive to the French Quarter! However, while we were there, it rained A LOT!! The park flooded. The majority of the sites are elevated enough that it wasn't too big of a deal except for the fact that, even after 36 hours of no rain, the water had only gone down by about an inch. They ended up closing the park and kicking everyone out. I did not have an issue with this, in general. The issue was that they waited until 4:00 pm to tell anyone. We were forced to pack up and find a new locations to park all within an hour. We were told that we must leave immediately and could not wait until morning. It was a stressful scramble to find a place to stay for the remainder of our time in NOLA.
With all of this being said, the park gave us a full refund for the remaining nights on our reservation and were very apologetic about the obnoxiously short notice. They kept telling us that they were being "forced to close the park." This gave me the impression that they didn't have much say in it.
The park itself is nice (when it isn't under water) and they even have a wave pool available in the summer. Overall, we enjoyed our time and we will likely come back again.

I think the timing was bad for us. Our site happened to be across from a couple campsites that had many tents with lots of kids in each, so it was a bit noisy. Our campsite had a lot of leftover debris from previous users, obviously with kids because of all the chalk art on the asphalt pad. Orange peals, lime wedges, many cigarette butts, sugar cereal, and vomit all in the grass around our site. We could not let our dogs relax on the site b/c we were afraid of what they would get into. The rest of the park seemed to be maintained fairly well except for the boardwalk decking. The laundry was great. There's just not much to do there. Great for a quick stopover for proximity to the city.

Bathrooms were ok, but showers were hot so that’s all you really need. Laundry also available.

We really enjoyed this park for its location to everything we wanted to do. Electric and water at site. Dump at entrance to campground. They also have 2 nice laundry facilities in the campground. Suggestions to do other than the normal “French Quarter” stuff: National WWII Museum is amazing! Take a hands on cooking class at New Orleans School of Cooking. It was well worth the money! Chalmette Battlefield is worth a visit also. Just 45 min between New Orleans and Baton Rouge are quite a few plantations that are very educational.
