Safe Campsite in New Orleans

We stayed at Bayou Signette State Park located in Oswego. It is an urban state park but we felt perfectly safe. It was a 15 minute drive to the Algiers Ferry and a 5 minute ferry ride to the French Quarter. Parking fee at the ferry but the ferry was free, The state park has no sewer hook ups, just water and electric and is big rig friendly. The state park was redone after Katrina. The price is good too.

We have had no issues with French Quarter RV Park..... it's very convienient to everything. On our last stop there a few months ago, I tried Ponchatrain Landing RV. I won't be going back there. Too far from town and the place is not well maintained... pothole filled roads.dusty or muddy depending on the weather.

The words SAFE and New Orleans do not belong in the same sentence. Bayou Signette is a good choice.

Is it SAFE to assume there is a crime problem in NEW ORLEANS? :)

Like any big city.

We use Bayou Segnetti too when visiting NO. Having done NO several times, we have never felt unsafe. Of course we are use to cities so maybe that has something to with it.

Good one! Same as sanitary and French Quarter belonging in the same sentence. LOL

I have stayed at the KOA in slidel and also the KOA on the west side of town. the french quarter RV park is surrounded by block walls topped with razor wire. that should tell you something. Probably perfectly safe as long as you stay within those walls.
bumpy

We stayed at Ponchartrain Landing and, while I agree the gravel roads can get dusty, I didn't feel it was poorly maintained. Gravel does that. They have a shuttle running to and from FQ several times per day. We rode it once, then drove the truck in my sig the other times, mostly because the shuttle came back too early. Never felt unsafe either walking or driving. FQ rv resort is within walking distance, but most comments I've seen recommend against it, primarily later in the day. All that said, we'll probably stay at Bayou Segnette next time.

Bayou Segnette is where we stayed. We have also stayed at the KOA in Kenner but we didn't like it as much. It was "ok" We have also stayed at Ponchartrain Landing and didn't like the traffic and directions getting into and out of that campground. If you go to Bayou Segnette, from I-10 east, take I-310 south. Turn east (left) on US90 about 13 miles. When you leave the park, go west back to
I-310 north back to I-10. A bit more miles but easier with an RV.
