New Orleans Area
We want to stay about four nights in New Orleans. We plan to make a day trip to Biloxi but spend most of out time in New Orleans. Can anyone suggest a nice RV park in the area. Thanks, Wes

- Going to N.O. you gotta go to the Central Market and get a Muffelata. Originated there and near the French Market and Cafe DuMonde
- It really depends how much money and how conveniently located you want to be. The state park is the most cost effective but on the other side of the river from the French Quarter and only about $25 per night. The French Quarter RV Park is just a couple of blocks walk to the French Quarter but costs about $100 a night.
- Ponchatrain Landing as mentioned can be dusty but is a very viable choice in the NO area. The shuttle is great. Takes you to the French Quarter and/or the WW II museum. Parking in NO close to the French Quarter is hard to find (depending on the time of year) and VERY expensive.
Was there last spring - early April and it rained 8 inches in one day. There was no mud, standing puddles for sure. So don't sweat the dry or wet conditions. Nice place to eat on-site but we only ate there once - the day we arrived. Spent to rest of the time sight seeing.
The French Quarter park is great for location. Did not stay there, but mixed opinions about safety. During the day I don't see a problem, later at night not so sure. But may be overly cautious. Most people say no issues, so if you want tp spend 100 bucks a night (don't remember the rates) go for it. Location is perfect for the French Quarter. If you only plan to spend a day in the French Quarter and most of the time other places around NO, then the location does not mean as much. jnharley wrote:

During my travels I have stayed at parks with no wifi, advertised but nonexistent wifi, wifi that cost extra, wifi that costs extra but is very poor but Louisiana state parks have free wifi. Usually pretty good.:)
