LOL about story above about CG on chef hwy. BAD< BAD area. I live in new orleans and i have said many times someone needs to put up a nice park close to new orleans but not in the city. when i want to go camping nearby there is no place to camp that is nice. french quarter resort is beautiful but it is for tourist that park there rigs and go into the city. sites are tight and no one is really camping. pricey too. ponchartain landing is nice but mostly same concept and somewhat pricey. there are alot of campgrounds across the lake which is the distance that i want to travel but most are run down and poorly managed. i say sometimes i have to put on my blinders to drive into most of them. please someone come and build a nice campground around here. anyone interested? i'll design it , it would be a funny party campground ,ie karaoke or DJ every weekend.. not kidding anyone want to be partners in a campground?

Now you know why the other parks are run down. Parks are expensive to run and maintain. Taxes, utilities, insurance, WiFi and TV Cable all play into the price you are going to ask for a night's stay.

Although your business model might work, everything that you mentioned is in the Quarter in New Orleans (entertainment). And, personally to me, I don't want to camp in the middle of the entertainment at the park.

We have stayed at the RV resort near the Quarter and it worked perfectly for us. The owners (at that time) would give you a ride to the Quarter on a golf cart and would also pick you up when you were ready (reasonalbe hrs.).
