St Augustine and New Orleans RV parks
Planning our spring trip and plan to spend time in St. Augustine FL and New Orleans. Looking for RV park suggestions in both places. Jude RV park in NO looks like it might be OK (?)

We stayed at Anastasia SP in St Augustine and really liked it. Staff was very friendly. Even though I only have a truck camper, they put me in probably the only site I wouldn't fit due to height. They offered to come back and cut the limb out of my way but I said they wouldn't cut it since it was a main limb from a huge live oak.
Regardless of where you stay, when you visit downtown St Augustine, arrive at the fort by 3:00 to get a parking space. Pay at the station for the two hours to cover you until 5:00 at which time the meters are no longer monitored. I was amazed at the number of people after 5 putting money into the pay station despite the hours being posted.
A few blocks away is Pizzalleys, a fantastic Italian restaurant recommended by one of the guards at the fort. He claimed it was better than the Italian food he ate when he visited Italy and I can understand why. We were served enough food for two meals, but it was so good we couldn't stop eating until it was gone. My wife had the Lasagna and I had a sausage calzone. For the price, we were amazed at the size of the portions. We may be going back to Florida just to eat there again.
