French Quarter RV Resort

It's all about location here. The rate posted here was over Mardi Gras. Staff was helpful and amenities were well maintained here. We felt very safe inside the park, despite it not being in the greatest feeling area. Easy walk to Bourbon street.

The only real complaint was out of the RV park's control: The relentless sound of jackhammers and piledrivers right next door at a construction site. It certainly made for a comical Mardi Gras hangover wake up call :)

Nice park! Who would have thunk it, in the middle of New Orleans. A convenient walk to the French Quarter. Very safe and secure. A nice little green park next door for the doggies. Very clean with curbside trash pick-up. A pool and a hot tub (though we weren't there at a warm enough time to use them). Great stay! Oh, our GPS took us on a round about so ask them how best to get there when you book. I-10 is across the street and a bit loud during the daytime, but less so at night.

Stayed for 5 days. Great location for the French Quarter. It is within walking distance. Sites are clean and well kept with full hookups including cable TV. Has nice laundry and shower facilities.

Area around is bit rough, but is gated with residents having the code for 24/7 access in/out. While within walking distance would limit to day and early evening.

It is next to interstate, but the highway is up high which really cuts down the noise. Didn’t notice at all at our location.

Next to St Louis #2 cemetery for some good ghosts stories. 😊

We called to do a pre checkin. No one answers and no one returns calls. Arrived to multiple barking dogs. There was 7 dogs visible in 100’. When we asked if anything could be done about the constant barking, the attendant stated “What do you want me to do? I can’t do anything”.

It was very sad as we had stayed here a couple years ago and it was nice. We won’t be back.

It's not quiet. But it is downtown, gated, and very clean. We expected to pay for the location - and our expectations were met.

The sites are close, but not on top of each other. They're paved, some have gazebos, and the hook-ups are well placed. Pricing fluctuates based on date of stay and site number.

We stayed here for a week over Mardi Gras (and Fat Tuesday). We lucked into a site when we called in early February (Fat Tuesday being March 5th) and were told they were full (no big surprise there) - but got a call back a few minutes later saying they had a cancellation.

It wasn't quiet, but it was within walking distance to all the Uptown parades (during Mardi Gras), the French Quarter, and the Central Business District. The Lafitte trail (a paved bike/walking path) runs right outside of the park.

Laundry room is large and clean. Showers/bathrooms are private and very clean. The pool is well maintained and features a hot tub and bar area. There is an ice machine available for use at your leisure.

The general area surrounding the park is on the 'up' with the parks in the area being improved and new housing be constructed, but the RV park itself is a little oasis for now. You can see the visitor center parking lot - where you can park more cheaply (still not 'cheap') without hook-ups or security, and risk having your rig urinated on (hey - during Mardi Gras season it's a real free-for-all out there!). We wouldn't hesitate to stay at the visitor center lot if we needed to, but the perks of this RV park were enough that we didn't mind that we didn't.

There are so many ways in which this park is superlative: the location, adjacent to the French Quarter and I10; the maintenance crew, which is readily available; the coffee; the rest rooms; the weight room, a real rarity on the road; an ice machine; the friendliness of the staff; the security in a dangerous town. In all those respects, this park deserves five stars, and that's without including the pool and sauna!

However, after 3 or 4 times staying there, I am so fed up with the absentee owners not committing to making the experience, at their astronomical pricing, as good as it can be. For me, this starts with wifi. As others have noted, it is so 2012 that there is only wifi at the pool area. The facility is not large and is bereft of trees. All they need are a few repeaters and everyone could have wifi. Every year; no improvement. I left there today and went to Indian Creek Recreation Area, which is a Louisiana forest service campground - and a beautiful one at that - with lots of trees - and free wifi that works.

After staying there for six nights we asked if we could have a slightly delayed check out. We needed maybe 30 minutes. Nope. We're fully booked! Maybe so, but when we left - on time as it turned out - most of the sites were empty.

In sum, for the reasons stated in the first paragraph there are a lot of good reasons to stay here. I do every year because I meet friends for Jazz Fest who are at a nearby hotel, making commuting easy.

But I really resent the lack of commitment to a superlative experience reflected by ownership, and I say to them: it would be so easy to take all these numbers to a five. Please read all these reviews and take action!
