Fontainebleau State Park

It has pull in sites, however I think sites 129, 131, 142, and 143 would be the best sites for parking because they seem the driest. I would NOT park in site 112 due to a looming tree. Walking trails attention private streets to walk or ride your bike on and the private beach is a short stroll and very nice. There is also a new playground and sprinkle park for the kiddos.

Have waited six months into our RV life to start reviews for fair comparisons. Stayed 2 nights in 35 foot RV+tow car at $31/night. We really wanted to like this park more than we did as it has great hiking trails, gorgeous natural setting, deer running around everywhere. But there seems to be a chronic flooding issue (not surprising for the location of course). All around our campsite was very flooded. And we saw other sites were the actual site had a few inches of standing water on it. Many of the hiking trails we could not do because of flooding. Even came back days later to try to hike after no rain and some parts were still flooded and very muddy. Staff at gate very friendly and helpful.

This is a nice state park. We enjoyed how wooded it was. However, after rain the sites many of the sites become very "swampy." Our site (site 79) actually had a little trench on the side of it, so it didn't get too bad despite a lot of heavy rain. But some other sites near us were completely under water apart from the concrete pad. Some new concrete pads have been installed, so our site was perfectly level. One thing that caught us off guard is the laundry wasn't free. Not that we are entitled to free laundry by any means, but LA state parks have generally always offered free laundry. This is no longer the case for this park. Machines were new and updated. Coin operated only. This wasn't our favorite state park, but we would definitely stay here again. It's in a good location and overall a nice campground.

Camped in a 35” motorhome. We are self-contained so cannot comment on restrooms/shower facilities. Overall – We loved it.
Pros –

• Level sites
• Lots of space between sites
• Very quiet
• Lots of beautiful trees
• Good Verizon and T-Mobile cell and internet service
• Water and electric sites – dump station is at a convenient location
• Lots of trails for biking and walking, wonderful boardwalk to see birds, Tammany Trace bike trail runs through park.
  
• Deer going through campground a daily occurrence.
  
• Birding areas and hiking trails in nearby Refuges

Cons –

• Didn’t stay long enough :)

Stayed here two nights and enjoyed being in a large park with spacious site. Some sites are closer together so Ck location. Bathrooms and showers clean and nice. Enjoyed the beautiful old oak trees with lots of Spanish moss. Take the hikes to the boardwalk and through the forest. Excellent biking with rails to trails at entrance. Nice waterfront with pier on lake ponchatrain. Lots of history with sugar mill ruins. Quiet surroundings with good WiFi, electricity and water.

Have stayed here before and it's a nice park when it's dry and the sun is shining. Otherwise it's a swamp. As others said, nice bike trail, nice people. BUT, found out on last trip that they now charge a $6 reservation fee for Reserve America even though you are a walk-up with no reservation. My complaint was rewarded with being given a gravel spit of a spot 10' wide in a swamp of 3" deep water. Real handy to the picnic table. Sorry Louisiana, but if this is your policy, I will be avoiding your state parks.

We had a great pull-through site with the woods as our back yard. (I don't recall the number). Saw deer every evening and even a wild pig! The sites were a bit soggy because of all the rain. Campground could use a few more trash dumpsters. The beach was beautiful and I'll bet crowded during the summer. Take advantage of the Rails to Trails bike path. We rode to Liz' Where Y'all At Diner and then drove on for a total 20 mile bike ride. Would totally visit this park again.
