Louisiana state parks are the best value you can get for $2 dollars. (Free for seniors). The nature trail here is great. Huge spiders, butterfly, and nature. Check out the island and foot bridge also.

This is my favorite place to camp. It’s close to New Orleans but far enough to be peaceful and safe. The campsites are lovely. There’s a laundry area and rest room/shower area centrally located. I love that you can pay for the laundry machines with an app if you choose. All the park staff are friendly and helpful. I also like that they lock the gates at night but you have the ability to get out in an emergency.

This is a great place to camp! Sites are good-sized and spaced apart. It's clean and a nice distance to visit New Orleans but stay in a peaceful environment. We had a fun evening walk around the loop photographing armadillos. The staff is very nice & willing to answer questions and give information about the park.

The staff were amazing! Every camping spot had electric and water hook-ups, picnic tables, fire pit, and bbq grills. The bathhouse was clean and smelled clean, the showers were hot. If you wanna see something cool go to the bathhouse at night and look up at wall under the lights outside and you'll see a bunch of house geckos hunting insects. They had at least 2 play grounds and a huge splash pad for the kids. We're definitely going to be coming back in the winter months. The park is only 30 mins from the French quarter. And there are plenty of places to eat nearby.

What a wonderful 4 nights of tent camping we had here! Campground done right! Quiet and safe. Locked gate at night. Travel to downtown New Orleans is easy if you drive around the Mississippi and/or fun if you take the ferry over to Belle Chase! $1.00 We did both from here and explored beyond the city as well. The staff were helpful. The laundry room was great. Showers were hot and the site had water AND electrical for around $20. a night depending on how many nights you stay. It’s cheaper for more nights. Obviously, we would not tent camp here in the warm season! Bugs were okay in December. The owls were vocal every night and plentiful. Armadillos scurried through the vegetation at night and coons crawling all over our truck! Lol. This is a great park!
