Our RV GPS and Waze took us from I-12 through town to the campground (CG). Check-in at the gate was quick and friendly. We then proceeded to the South CG to back-in site 138; 50 AMP and water. The road to the site was a bit narrow for our 40’ 5th wheel and F450. To our surprise, there was a drainage ditch across from our site that made backing in difficult. When we reserved online, we did not see the ditch on the campsite map, but it’s clearly marked on the CG map we received at check-in. We are above-average backers and had to maneuver quite a bit, but we finally got in. We do not recommend this site for any pull trailers over 35’. The good thing about 138 is that it’s one of the few spacious sites in the CG. The sites across the road are smaller and closer to each other. We also posted a picture of the CG map. Also, not available online was a 50% senior discount that was applied at check-in. We had no issue with the utilities. There are a lot of large trees in this loop but we were able to get a clear north shot for Starlink. We had three bars on Verizon. There are plenty of long sites, but big rigs need to choose their sites carefully i.e. read reviews and possibly call the park concerning specific sites. There’s lots to do and see in this state park, but it wasn't really our thing, so we likely won't be back.

Easy drive in, (recommend taking the 190) and easy to navigate on the park. We came in after hours and were met by the camp host who told us everything we needed to know and checked on us after camp setup was complete. Laundry was clean and all machines worked. Bathhouse provided good privacy and was clean and in good repair. The site was a back in with water and electric. It was 60+ feet long asphalt surface that needed 3/4" leveling on the passengers side. The Tammany Trace bike path cuts through the north end of the park and leads to food and fun. The park has a large beach for swimming, picnicking, and playing right on the lake front. Really look forward to visiting again.

We stayed here for a week while visiting New Orleans, which is about an hour away. The campground is divided into two sections: north and south. The north campground is larger and generally more spacious, with lots of back-in sites and several crescent-shaped pull-throughs that can accommodate even the largest rigs. The southern campground also has a mix of back-in and pull-through sites, but with smaller, more traditional pull-throughs. Most sites have either asphalt or concrete pads (some have gravel) surrounded by grass yards. All of the sites have a picnic table and a fire ring.
We stayed in site 126 in the southern campground, a traditional but slightly curved pull-through site that was just barely long enough to contain our 37-foot fifth wheel and 21-foot truck. We parked our camper at the very back of the site, which made for some tense moments every time a new travel trailer struggled to back into the site behind us: the roads on either side of us were only about 12 feet wide. Many of the roads in the campground were just as narrow, and yet very few were marked as one way streets. That said, I never saw any incidents with vehicles trying to pass one another on the roads, and there were a lot of large RVs around during our stay. The southern campground section has two bathhouse buildings: a small one next to the section’s dump station with a soda vending machine, and a larger one with a small laundry room. The men’s bathroom in the smaller bathhouse had three bathroom stalls and two small showers, and was cleaned regularly. There is a large kids playground in the empty space between the two campground sections.
There is no fenced dog park, but there are plenty of open and wooded areas in and around the campground. You just have to watch your step in places where the leaves on the ground could be hiding mud: even though it didn’t really rain during our stay the ground was soft in a lot of places. I was surprised that we didn’t have any issues with mosquitoes despite the unusually warm weather and all the standing water in the drainage ditches and in the marshy areas bordering the campground.
In terms of cell service, the best speed I got on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna was 65 Mbps down and 23 up, so I was able to work remotely during the day and stream video in the evenings without any issues. The one speed test I ran on my 5G AT&T smartphone showed 59Mbps down and 8 up. The campground does not provide any WiFi.
The rest of this state park is a mix of forested areas with some marsh land and open fields with huge trees adorned with Spanish moss. Every late afternoon you would find folks doing photo shoots in the rows of trees not far from the southern end of the campground. There are a few hiking trails, and deer can frequently be seen along the edges of the woods during the twilight hours. The day use area is right along the shore of Lake Pontchartrain, and has a stone and steel pier, a small sandy beach area, a small water park, and a pond occupied by at least one alligator.
We would definitely stay here again.

The park is located about 10 minutes east of Mandeville. Signage is adequate. Check in was efficient and friendly. The rules are fairly basic. The interior roads are paved and in fair condition.
Our site, 134 was a back in that was just long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 amp, and water only) were to the left side. Distancing is very close for a rural park. Each site has a table and a fire pit. Our site was flat and even asphalt. Overall the park was well groomed.
The park included wifi worked somewhat fair for checking e mail but that was about it. Our Verizon Hot Spot worked very well. There is no cable TV but we were able to find some OTA channels. Satellite might be difficult in some spots. We did not use the washrooms or showers but we checked and found them very dated but clean.
There are trails within the park as well as a sandy beach. It was cold and wet during our stay so we did attempt to use either. There are no restaurants or stores within easy walking distance but just a short drive away you can find food, shopping and convenience stores in Mandeville. One of the restaurants we can recommend is Mandeville Seafood. We have been there a few times and never disappointed. The Crayfish when in season are amazing, same with the shrimp, we have never had anything there that we didn’t like. We know this park can be a great base to use while visiting the local attractions but we aborted our planned stay early as our designated site was a small island surrounded by water and mud. There was no place for us to be able to enjoy the outdoors. It had rained a lot prior to our arrival and the ground was so saturated that it would not be usable for quite some time and we were not able to move to a dryer site. We also found the water had a very bad taste to it which we did not remember from our previous visits. We paid $25.00 per night weekdays and $33.00 for weekends (plus tax) and we feel we received fair poor value this time around. We will be back if in the area again if we could be assigned a better site.

The park is very nice but more of a city park than state park. The campground is clean and nice but there is zero privacy.
We found pickleball at the park across highway 190, which was great.

FYI they don’t have it on their website but rv sites with electric and water are closed for at least March-April 2024. They are replacing pipe lines. Call ahead.

It is a sign of our times when tax dollars override the beauty of nature. In a move by Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser, they are entertaining the idea of building a hotel and conference center on the grounds of Fontainebleau State Park. The proposed project will use 500 acres of "woods" that are "underutilized" in the southeastern area of the park. A public meeting is set for January 8, 2020 at the Spitzfaden Community Center in Mandeville, La for public input. The area to be used has a Live Oak ridge, a pine savanna, lowland cypress forest, natural tributaries and a lakefront beach on Lake Pontchartrain. This area also is habitat for over 400 species of animals including whitetail deer, box tortoises, eagles and ospreys. It would be a shame to lose this treasure to this commercialization. If you aren't able to attend the meeting, you can email your concerns to " BILLYPARKS@CRT.LA.GOV ".
