New Orleans RV Resorts

I liked Ponchartrain Landing because it is a PassportAmerica park good for one week (some are only PPA for 3 days or so), had the shuttle to downtown (very handy), and it was fairly easy to get to in a big ol' class A.

There's a bar/restaurant on the grounds, and although the sites are gravel and relatively small and sparce, I was there to visit New Orleans not the RV park. Wifi was weak but usable. Cell reception was great so that's a way to get Wifi if needed.

Really loved that shuttle. Used it nearly everyday for the week I stayed there.

We stay at the KOA just west of town.

If you have a Class A that qualifies the French Quarter RV resort is very nice and expensive. But what you get for that is walking distance to the Quarter.

Did you search this Forum for New Orleans in the RV Parks section?

X2 on Ponchartrain Landing. The shuttle is inexpensive so you don't need a separate vehicle, the sites are big enough and the facilities are clean with a friendly and helpful staff. Will be back again.

A few years back we did Bayou Segnette SP. The neighbourhood did not seem like a place to leave your vehicle but the CG felt quite secure once in.

We've stayed at Pontchartrain Landing twice last year and we're planning to go back for Christmas. Yes, the lots are small, but many are pull through and the staff will help you park. I like the lots that are visible to the canal. Both times we stayed they had a good discount for weekly visits. It is not easy to find the first time out, but we think it is well worth it.

We planned to spend 3 weeks over Christmas last year in New Orleans. I wanted to stay at Bayou Segnette SP but they wouldn't budge on their 2 week limit (which is cool- I get it). So we stayed at the New Orleans West KOA. We liked it.



Ironically only stayed 3 days because it was dang cold and we wanted Christmas warmth! Ended up in Florida. :D

We stayed a week at New Orleans West KOA for a week in 2016. What nice people! They changed our reserved site to one with more shade as it was quite hot. This was their idea, I had not said anything about shade. Site was great, location is really easy to explore the area from. Ask at the office and they can give you great tips about where to park for free and ride the street car to the quarter or just a tour of NOLA. They made a wonderful experience for us. I was concerned about some reviews that the campground was in the city. Never was an issue and is not really in a city setting. This is in my list of top ten just because of what a great time we had and how helpful the office was.

I think it depends on how long you want to stay, and what you want to do when there. We stayed at the KOA, and really had no complaints. However, it took between an hour to an hour and a half on the bus to get to downtown. The first two days we enjoyed it as a tourist experience. After that, it is just a long way. The shuttle was completely booked up when we arrived, so it was not an option. Looking back I think I would have booked a couple nights at the French quarter Rv resort for the days in New Orleans, and then picked something outside the city. We also stayed at Fontainbleau State Park and enjoyed that, but it would be a long drive into the city. If you like to bike the Mississippi River trail is easily accessed from the KOA.
