Campground near New Orleans?

[Bob46]

Can you recommend a campground near New Orleans for 5 days in January 2016? I don't want to drive over that huge bridge:)

Also, any thoughts on the best route from NY to New Orleans in January driving a motorhome? I-81 to I-75 to I-59 to I-10 is the shortest but do you think I-95 to I-85 to Atlanta then I-65 to I-10 is better for potentially cold/snowy weather in January?

Thanks for any advice!

In 2010 we stayed at Ponchartrain Landing RV Park, outside of New Orleans. It was not a luxury park-a bit rough--if memory serves me right. But, the managers and employees were great--had an eatery, was right on the Lake which was neat and had a shuttle available that would take you into New Orleans. I believe it also had a outdoor bar. In an industrial area and roads where rough and confusing to get to the Park. We enjoyed out stay there. Enjoyed the fact it was outside the hustle of New Orleans but had a way to get right into the French Quarter. Lars

A Footnote: We were in New Orleans about 3 weeks ago--during Mardi Gras--and it was cold--about 30 during the day.

The "new" I-10 bridge is no problem. Three lanes in each direction. Just long and boring. Get in the middle lane and do your thing. The natives are used to RVs poking along. (Poke along is not a phrase they understand.)

There is a nice park outside of the city itself at Ponchetrain Landing. On the South shore of the lake. There is a park near the Quarter, but I wouldn't want to drive those streets with the trailer.

I have stayed at the KOA in Slidell and also the one on the West side of town. I have never driven over that bridge you no doubt have in mind. took I-10.
