Golden Age discount is 50%, but $18 would still be a bargain. Add sewer and this place would be a 10. Big roomy back in sites are fully paved, plus there is a poured concrete 'patio' behind the site with picnic table, grill (new) and fire ring. The space between sites could actually support an additional site, but then it would be like a private park. The Louisiana TPC (golf course) is located at this state park. An easy 30 minute drive into the city. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Loved this park. The sites were paved ,and the area was very family friendly and beautiful. There were mosquitos and our picnic table was located on the wrong side of the travel trailer. Great place to ride your bike with the family. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is a surprise. When I hear the word "bayou" I conjure up a picture in my mind of dirt roads and moss hanging from the trees. If that's what you're looking for, it's not here. However, if you find beauty in a real Louisiana swamp, this is the place. Our site was described as shady; this means there are two spindly trees near the picnic table. Most of the campsites are out in the bald bare sun. I have to wonder if they lost a lot of trees during Katrina. Oh well, the wind has been steady and that kept us pretty comfortable until nightfall. The campground is very clean and well-kept. To my daughter's delight, the bunnies come out in the evening to eat clover. She counted 7 at one point. The park is criss-crossed with boardwalks leading over the swamp areas. Bring mosquito repellent. There are two swimming areas here; one is a wave pool which costs $8/person, the other is a 3-4ft deep swimming pool free for overnight guests. The only disappointment so far has been the restroom. While it is clean and ostensibly handicapped accessible, I found it difficult to use with my disabled child. The one handicapped stall is not really large enough to accomodate two people. There was only one hook to hold our things, and no bench. There is a small seat inside the shower itself, with a hand-held shower head which was nice. Unfortunately, halfway through our shower the water died so I toweled us off and went back to the camper. I'll try again in the morning. Our main reason for camping here was proximity to New Orleans and in that we are not disappointed. It's about 30 minutes outside the city; the French Quarter is accessible by ferry from Algiers. For a state park that is located in a busy suburb, it is quite pleasant and relaxing. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park has re-opened since Katrina. Sites are very nice, lot of space around all sites. All sites are close to the swamp. The park has a boat ramp for its visitors. Some road noise from Hwy 90 Bus. Playground equipment for kids. Nice wave pool (Entry $8). 14 day max stay. About 10 miles to an almost free ferry ($1 a car) in Westwego that will take you to New Orleans. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice park in a great location, about 20 minutes from the French Quarter(direct and easy access to New Orleans). Sites are large and private with raised, paved pads. There's no sewer, but bath houses were clean. It has a nice pool, and a wavepool. The landscape is wooded with some small swampy areas. The staff was helpful and informative. We had a very pleasant experience, and would definately camp here again. We camped here in June 2005 in a motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Thank goodness for this website or I would have never known about this park. It is a great place to stay and only minutes for New Orleans and the French Quarter. The campground is very secure and sites are large and shady. There are plenty of activities such as water park, hiking and fishing. Wish we could have stayed longer! There is a free ferry that crosses the river to New Orleans and parking is only $5.00 However it is confusing to get to and even more confusing to leave...especially at night. We would definately come back here and recommend it as the safest spot near New Orleans. Thanks RV Reviews! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites are very nice, lot of space around all sites, roads and sites are blacktop. Roads can take a large unit with no problems. All sites are in the swamp, winter no problem with mosquitos, in warm weather you will have a problem. Some road noise from Hwy 90 Bus. Playground equipment for kids. Nice wave pool. Park was full and you may need a reservation to get in. 14 day max stay. About 10 miles to free ferry that will take you to New Orleans. We camped here in a Motorhome.

State Park outside of New Orleans. Wonderful location and park. Level sites clean laundry facilities. Restrooms and showers were clean - however spouse didn't care about sharing the shower with some green sticky frogs :) . Otherwise it would be a 10. Excellent access to New Orleans - ask for the directions to the ferry into the French Quarter. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A hidden treasure to get away from the noise, etc. in New Orleans. Very nice state park and definately located in a swamp area. Back-in paved sites with plenty of room to manuvere. Lots of shade, paved roads throughout. We were there for Mardi Gras and there were still a few mosquitos! Wonder want it would be like in the summer? Entrance is locked up every night and the 15 mph speed limit is STRICTLY enforced. Very friendly staff, always able to give you directions. Very impressive state park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice campground. Lots to do and see here. New Orleans is just 15 minutes away, but don't try to go during 8:00 or 5:00 traffic. The absolute perfect park for the kind of camping we like to do. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I camped here in a 40' MH and had plenty of room to get around. The interior roads and site pad are all paved and wide. The place appeared to be fairly new and every thing was neat and in it's place. Security trucks were noticed offen and they have a locked gate at night. I was just really impressed with this place. The have a convenient dump station. This location is about a 15 minute drive to downtown New Orleans. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Narrow one lane blacktop interior roads & slightly elevated bt level pads. Built in a swampy area so water can be right up to your site occasionally. Lots of shade, most sites are separated by trees & undergrowth. Close (30 Miles) to New Orleans. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice state park - located in a swamp area. All back-in sites, paved roads & sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A very beautiful, quiet campground. Many trees yet only a few miles from Bourbon Street. I would definitely go back. We camped here in a camper.

If you want to see New Orleans this is the RV park for you. It is safe, secure and absolutely clean and beautiful. Save your gas and parking money and walk to the French Quarter. The amenities are very nice - fitness room, pool, hot tub, laundry, free wi-fi. Staff is friendly and helpful. Even though the park is designed as a motor coach resort all RVs are welcome. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground was a real gem. The management was very willing to drive us in a golf cart the 3 blocks to the end of their property when visiting the French Quarter. You simply cross the street and walk a couple of short blocks and you are there. Very easy and we felt very safe and secure. The salt water hot tub was fabulous. Bring your bikes; it is easy to bicycle from the park to the French Quarter and the Garden District. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great park, very convenient to the interstate but within walking distance from the French Quarter. The people are very nice and helpful, willing to drive you part of the way to the French Quarter in a golf cart and pick you up later. The weather was bad when we were here, but the pool area looked really nice. All sites are very wide back-ins with nice pavers and some grass. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent city campground. Nice concrete pavers. Plenty of space between sites. All back-in sites. Catering to Class A's but we camped here in our 30' Motorhome. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Very accommodating. The pool (refreshing) and hot tub (hot) were small, but beautiful. Bathroom and showers at pool very clean. The campground is great for visiting and walking all around New Orleans, a straight walk into the main area of the French Quarter (St. James), worth the extra dollars. The campground is very secure - security gate. The staff will drive you out to one of N.O. visitor's center in their golf cart to the end of their property line. It is not a far walk, but it was in the 90s when we visited, they will also pick you up if you call them on your way back in, it was very nice extra. I would stay here again in a minute. Despite being in the city with Route 10 and easy on and off. This campground gets a 10 in our book. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very convenient to French Quarter, they even offered us a golf cart ride to within 3 blocks of the FQ, AND picked us up at the end of the evening. The grounds felt very secure, very well monitored and maintained. The 4 bathrooms are "suites" private sink/toilet/shower, that are clean and pleasant to use. The "workout" room looked very nice, but we did not use it. The pool and hot tub area was great. The laundry room was clean and always accessible. We would definitely stay there again. Yes, it is on the edge of a not so great neighborhood, but New Orleans is a large metropolitan area so areas like that are expected. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you just need a place to park close to the French Quarter, this is a good secure friendly park. It's not a place with a campground atmosphere. It has very easy access from I-10. We have stayed twice but the hot tub wasn't hot either time. If you're not familiar with New Orleans the staff will give you all the direction you need to experience the city. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is very different from any we've stayed at before. It is within walking distance to the French Quarter, so very conveniently located. The sites are all very big and well kept. The pool and hot tub are very nice and the laundry and bathrooms are beautiful. The staff are all very nice and helpful (though they might want to take a few of the local tours to give better advice on which to recommend (try the walking tours that start at Cafe Begnet)). The only downside to this place is its location (it is both a plus and a minus). It is right below the freeway, so there is a lot of traffic noise. Also, being on the edge of the French Quarter, it is right next to a not so safe part of town (the area across the freeway). Given that, the park is surrounded by a large brick fence topped with sharp spines and is patrolled by security 24 hrs (both reassuring and disconcerting). They do offer to reimburse you for cab fare back from the French Quarter, but we ended up walking both ways when we went, never feeling unsafe (it was early in the evening, as we have kids). We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is absolutely one of the best campgrounds we have stayed at in our two years of travel. Tight security within a walled compound and an electric gate. The interior roads and pads are all paved. No trees which is a positive to us as both of our satellites worked perfectly. Some sites have gazebos. Great staff and amenities. Friday and Saturday night there is a two hour (fee) cocktail party. We enjoyed meeting other travelers. The park is within walking distance to the French Quarter and it is easy to access from I-10. Although we paid more than we usually do, we did not have to pay for taxi's, buses or parking (which is about $20). We highly recommend staying at this campground. We camped in a 40' motorhome with four slides. Unfortunately we were only able to stay one night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I am usually very picky about the campgrounds I stay in. It was amazingly clean. The people we very nice. It was close to every thing in New Orleans. I was there for a convention and arrived faster to the events then my counterparts who rode buses from the hotels right next to the convention center. If you are looking to spend a few days exploring New Orleans and do not want to have to drive in from the subburbs, this is the place to stay. The daily rate is higher than most RV sites but compared to the price of the hotels in the area, the cost of transportation in and out of the city it is well worth it. Highway 10 is right above the part so there is a constant steady noise so I used my AC fan to block out the noise and slept without issue. This is not the type of campground to stay in if not planning on getting out and seeing New Orleans. I doubt they have many campground events as there is already so much to do in the city. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This probably the nicest/cleanest park we have ever stayed in. Nice stamped concrete pads, paved streets, nice lamp posts, etc. This park is obviously first class all the way. Pricey, but, worth it in my opinion. Beside an interstate highway, but, with the a/c fan on low, you don't hear it. I have not met a single employee you didn't make you feel welcome. They seem to want to make everything a pleasant experience. Good security. Remember, you're in a questionable neighborhood of a large city and be smart. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 5 nights. We chose to stay here because of the convenient location to the French Quarter. The French Quarter is approximately half a mile walking distance. Other attractions like the WWII museum and the Aquarium of the Americas are also within walking distance. The park is clean and the amenities are great. There is a fitness room, a lounge area with big screen TV, a pool, and a hot tub. The hot tub needs to have controls at the tub itself. Even though there are always folks around, it is sometimes hard to locate them in order for them to cut the hot tub on, or regulate the temperature, especially at night. The restrooms and showers are also very nice and clean, but the shower area is lacking a tray for your soap and shampoo. The price is somewhat high, but they have a lot to offer. We also got Good Sam discount for all the nights. Wi-Fi was good and they had a few cable channels. Obviously, though, you don't come here to watch TV. Access to the park and the sites is very big-rig friendly. Security and safety is a high priority for the owner, so armed guards are always present and very friendly. As some others already mentioned, they provide you with cab vouchers for a cab ride home at night. You get one voucher per day. One night the owner himself gave us a ride into town. The park is a bit noisy due to the noise from the interstate, but we found that at night it wasn't a big issue. The owner and the staff are all very friendly and go out of their way to accomodate you. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Given the urban location, this place is as good as it gets. The only downsides for us are the road noise (unavoidable and not that bad at night) and the absence of an off-leash area (not really enough room for one here but essential for us to give a place a ten). Lovely salt-water tiled pool and hot tub, beautiful facilities and exercise room. Friendly hosts. If you're going to get "concerned" about armed security or "spooked" by the beauty of a New Orleans cemetary, why are you here? And those housing projects are for people who need to live here. Give them a break. Come stay here and spend some money in New Orleans. It's beautiful again, and the restaurants are still killer! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 2 nights (over Halloween). Nice, new, clean park, close to the French Quarter. Expensive at $69, but they honor several discounts for 10%. Good wi-fi and cable (free), easy in and easy out (back-in) and full hookups. Good security, but it was a bit concerning to see armed security guards patrolling the park. There is a nearby housing project which could, possibly, cause problems. Also somewhat spooky, on Halloween, to look over the fence and see one of New Orleans above ground cemetaries. The owner was present a lot of the time and they provide a cab voucher for a free cab ride back from the Quarter. We were on the north end, close to I-10. It was definitely noisy. In October, 2006, New Orleans needs another 18-24 months to get rebuilt and on it's feet. We'll return again, but it will be a while. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent location, near the French Quarter. 24 hour Security Guard (Thomas). Closed facility, with security gates. Well lighted, New Complex with all the amenities of a Resort. My Wife and I stayed here for one night. We enjoyed the new Resort. The owner went out of his way to make sure we had a pleasant stay. The owner is on duty all the time and goes out of his way to make sure you have a safe and pleasant time. I gave him my cell phone number and told him we would be back around midnight. We were running late from having such a good time, my cell phone rang, and it was the owner just checking on us to make sure everything was O.K. Now, that is customer satisfaction. We will be back for the other festivals, now that we have found a safe and secure place to stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It's worth noting that we are here during Jazzfest 2006 and the rates are slightly higher. We are paying $45/night and are are glad to do so. As all others have commented - MG RV Park is no Yosemite NP in terms of scenery. Hello...we're in a City. We came here knowing that this was a post-Katrina RV Park in NOLA. In terms of ambience we were expecting that environment and that what we have. Hurricane torn and beat up. The neighborhood is trashed and empty. No businesses are open within a few miles. It took us an hour to find a grocery store when we got here. Scenery? You want Yosemite - drive to Yosemite. You want 'Nawlins? this joint ain't bad. We're ten minutes from the French Quarter. Yes the place is managed by an ornery gent named Frank. Once you break through his outer crust you'll find your host to be loveable. Yes the owner of the Park is from India - so what - he and his family are quite pleasant and have taken a chance and invested in the American dream. Oh yeah...he's trying to pay off his loan to the American bank that lent him the money to buy the place at pre-Katrina prices. I don't see why people complain that they charge to dump your ****. Don't like it make your way to a Flying J. Water works, laundry facilities work, internet works (as I'm posting this from my site in the Park), and the sewer works. TV rececption is not bad. What else do I need to sleep during the day and take in the best music in the World in downtown NOLA at night? We've been out listening to the greatest music going til five every night for the past week! I think people need to chill and put themselves in others shoes before trashing a place online. We're quite safe and sound here in Mardis Gras RV Park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Filthy, expensive and grumpy. We should have dry camped. Thousands of RV's and trailers parked everywhere around town. WiFi available but not checked by us. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is located in a very bad part of town "GETTO". Would not recommend this park to anyone. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We drove in, and drove out! Simply placing this review to avoid anyone else falling into this trap! The park is right off the 10 in the GHETTO! A gang was hanging out in front of the open "security gate", drinking beer and smoking pot when we arrived. Razor wire is on the fence if that tells you anything! I saw more police cars than automobiles coming into the area. In short, do yourself a favor and stay at the New Orleans East or West KOA. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A Passport America campground. This park is an in town campground and not in the best area. Once inside the security gate it is a typical private campgroung. Some of the sites are tight to get into. Half the park is paved, the rest is grass and gravel. Rather noisy being near an interstate highway, train tracks and next to a truck depot. They do offer guided bus tours from the front gate. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I stayed in this campground in 2004. It is in a really crime ridden part of town. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. After Hurricane Katrina, I was doing disaster relief through the church about 3 miles from this campground and had been staying on the church's property in my RV. I needed to dump my black tanks before the drive home, and I remembered this campground. I went to it, and the campground was in shambles. The office was closed and the power wasn't on in that part of town but the water and sewage worked. I pulled into the campground (which was empty of RVs) and this East Indian guy ran up to me and told me that he was the owner. I explained that I needed to dump my tanks for the ride home after doing relief work in his community. He informed me that I would need to pay $15 to dump my tanks. I guess he felt it necessary to profit from hardship. I left without dumping the tanks and went to another campground where the owner let me dump the tanks free of charge. I will never stay in Mardi Gras Campground again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

New, one year old and built after Katrina. Spacious, level sites..adding another 60 sites to accommodate growth. Owners are extremely friendly and helpful, and can't do enough for you. About 5 miles from the French Quarter with easy access. Located along the west side of the Industrial Canal in an area of heavy industry, which poses no negative concerns. Very quiet. I would select it over the RV park downtown due to a safe and more secure feeling. No street people around here..... We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed the month of Feb and enjoyed being close to downtown and near the Mardi Gras parade routes. The campground was quiet and secure which was important to us. Being new motor home owners we appreciated CJ, the manager,helping us set up and answering our numerous questions during our first outing in a campground. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice. WIFI and cable worked great, even though we were at the far end of the park. We were there for months without any trouble of any kind. Huge concrete sites filled with 45 foot rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I stayed a total of 6 days in July enroute to and from Florida and found the park to be very nice. The owner gave me several sugestions of things to see like the WWII museum and had a great time. There are some marginal areas as with any city, you just need to pay attention. My wife and I will be here again for Madi Gras next year and look forward to our stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed there for the Sugar Bowl and were charged $46 per night and with tax it was over$50 per night so if you like inexpensive campgrounds this is not one. If you are in one of the sites like we were in right across from the office look out so as not to get electrocuted when you back into your site because the utility lines are really low hanging although the sites on the second road didn't have that problem. Also this park is just about exactly 12 miles from downtown so it is not in New Orleans it is in Kenner. I would not suggest the city bus service either. If you are just passing through and need a quick overnight there is a Wal-Mart about 5 miles closer to town on the same road as the campground which is Jefferson Highway and the store is right before you go across the Huey P. Long bridge. That would be a cheaper option for a quick overnight but as with anything in this city you have to be conscious of your safety because New Orleans is not I repeat not a safe or clean city and I did feel a little safer in the campground. The wireless internet access costs about $8 per day and you would think at the rates we were charged to stay there that internet would be included. I will say that the campground was quiet at night and that the staff was friendly and that the main reasons I am rating this campground so low is the fact thatI feel it was extremely overpriced for the services received and that it was not highly convenient to downtown as I had though it would be. Next time I will try the state park which is about the same distance from town but is only $12 per night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Camped there for the Sugar Bowl. Very nice site about 10 miles from French Quarter, they do have shuttle cab ride $25 bucks. All pads concrete very nice people. Although neighborhood wasn't great the park is in great shape. Right near Airport in Kenner, La. They did have WIFI very fast spotty aircard wireless and a phone modem in laundry room We camped here in a Motorhome.

The trees, concrete slabs, and grass are nice. Not a bad place for overnighters. However, we have been here for nearly two months and have been stolen from twice now. The first time about a month ago. A $3,000 piece of equipment was taken from under our 5th wheel. It was in a black case and looked like nothing special. That same night five bicycles were stolen from within the park. A few weeks later more bikes were stolen. Three nights ago our truck was broken into and a $50 inverter was taken. That same night our neighbor three sites down had his truck broken into also. We thought our truck was locked and our neighbor said he knew for a fact his was locked. The theives evidentally have a tool of some sort to get in. This park has a tall fence all the way around it but on the back side of the fence there are 2x4s running lengthwise and the theives are climbing over the fence and then going out the front gate. Some campers have actually seen this happen. The owner just shrugs his shoulders and says to call 911! He doesn't seem to care at all. On two sides of the park are very, very bad neighborhoods. We drove through them looking for the equipment that was stolen and they looked like drug havens. I suggested that he put wire on the top of the fence nad he said he would not do that. The sheriff has asked him repeatedly to warn his campers. There have been muggings when campers have walked outside of the park. I'm really tired of the stealing and am so ready to go someplace else. Also the owner took our satelite dish down and brought it to us because he didn't want anything at all on his grass. We had permission to put it up from the manager but the owner didn't care about that either. There is cable here but it is not very good. It comes and goes. One night we lost it for hours. The monthly rate here is $360 plus electric plus a $50 electric deposit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Most likely one the nicest parks in New Orleans. A little loud due to the
