Campground in or around New Orleans

DW and I are in Mobile,Al and we're going to head across I-10 to New Orleans.
My question is I'd like to ask you wonderful ladies and gentlemen, where is the best place to dock our boat? DW is telling me something about Mardi Gras RV park but we just don't know because we've never camped there although we have stayed in N O.
We are keeping a list of all the parks we've stayed in so hopefully we will only have to ask once. So far we've been lucky in that all the parks have been super, thanks Rob

    I think the OP's question was:

    "My question is I'd like to ask you wonderful ladies and gentlemen, where is the best place to dock our boat?"

    The French Quarter would be tough to use it.....

    Ponchartrain Landing is a nice park and they may have a boat dock.

    Bayou Signette SP, Across the river, there is a free ferry you can park your toad and ride at Algiers, about 7mi from Downtown, Ferry drops you off downtown. Parking for all day was $5.00 a couple of yrs ago. Very nice Park, no sewer, but dumping station, large rigs.

    They also have a marina there with docking space if your "boat" is really a boat.

    We have stayed there twice. They are friendly and the shuttle is a nice touch.
    Its in an industrial area.

    If you have time, stop at Hollywood R V Park at
    Hollywood Casino in Bay St Louis MS. You COULD
    commute to New Orleans from here, but even for an
    overnight stop it's fine. Widely spaced sites,
    big trees, FINE food at the casino (including the
    buffet)......it has an internet site. P M me for
    more, including directions.

    French Quarter RV REsort is one block form the French Quarter. It is an easy 1/4 mile off I10 and it is very enjoyable.
    The atmosphere is resort like with a beautiful clubhouse, pool, spa complex with a salt water pool open late.
    The only negative is the noise of the city and the elevated I10 freeway across the road.
    RV site are nice and large with very lice paving stone/concrete pads with grass between the sites.
