We've looked at the French Quarter RV Park which is closest to the French Quarter. It's no place we're interested in camping. It's pretty much under I-10. I-10 is always busy. The area outside of the walled in campground is not an area you want to be walking around at night. I've read posts from people on this forum saying they've walked from the FQ to the RV park after dark and didn't have any problems. Remember the saying "a fish doesn't get caught every time." The FQ is pretty safe but it doesn't take but a block or 2 outside of the tourist area and you can find yourself where you don't want to be.
We have camped at the French Quarter RV Park in a 5th wheel. The park is very nice and has good security, but it is not in the nicest part of town. We felt safe walking to the French Quarter, about 2 blocks away during the day, but always took an Uber back to the RV park after dark. You can run into trouble in just about any US city, but NOLA, if not the highest in crime rate, is high on the list.
One thing to consider is that if you drive in from outside of town, you will have to park and leave your vehicle somewhere where security my be in question. If you are based at French Quarter RV, your vehicle will be in a secure location.
