French Quarter RV Resort

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.

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!

I will admit, I was sort of nervous as we pulled into town and pulled into the RV resort. The surrounding area around the resort isn’t the best. However, once I pulled into the park, I quickly realized why it was rated so high. Despite the I-10 noise and typical major city noises, the park is beautiful, fully gated and barbwires around the entire perimeter fence line. I originally booked a premium site, which came with a screened porch but I didn’t like that it backed up to a wall. The wall backed to a street and sidewalk and I am overly sensitive about safety. So, I asked to be moved to a back-in on the interior row. We were placed on a site very close to the office/pool/laundry and it put us right in the heart of the park. We enjoyed our visit and highly recommend the WW2 museum in New Orleans. It was recommended to us and we were somewhat apprehensive about going but we were glad we did.

The price point goes without saying because the location is unbeatable if you want to be 2 blocks to the French Quarter shops and restaurants. Not having a tow vehicle, this is always a consideration for us and we will pay for this luxury. The RV park is right off I-10 and there are signs guiding you to the entrance.

We did arrive on the last day of the Jazz Festival (Sunday) and they still charged us premium price for that night, I think $170-ish. Ouch. That wasn't cool since why should they charge for the last day of the festival that's packing up and the RV park was practically empty anyway. Maybe time your trip around such fluff. I knew it in advance, but that was the date we needed to check-in so we ate it.

Check-in was very easy and the office staff was pleasant and helpful. The park itself felt safe- they have a gated, coded entry and barbed wire along the top of the cinder block wall that surrounds the park. It's very clean and they have nice, roomy restrooms where you get your own room with shower/toilet/sink to yourself. The grounds are meticulous. The office building is nice looking, New Orleans style. They have lots of travel brochures and tour info. There is a nice pool, although we didn't use it. Laundry facilities were nice and clean. There is general city noise and some freeway hum, although we were on the office end of the park so it wasn't bothersome. It may be louder if you're on the freeway side.

If this is your first time to NOLA (it was ours), this town is not for the weak. There are transients and locals hanging out everywhere, including those 2 blocks between the RV park and the Bourbon Street area. Stick to the main streets (no short-cuts), especially after dark. We had no problems. You can always cab a ride to and from the RV park if you are not comfortable.

When we'd had enough of the smell of garbage and urine in French Quarter, we walked about 4 blocks to Enterprise on Canal Street to rent a car. We drove out to the Houmas House Plantation and also took an air boat tour in the same area- maybe 45 minutes out of the city. It's a nice day trip and there are a lot of historic sites to see. We also drove to the Lafayette Cemetery in the Garden District. They don't charge to enter the cemetery, as most of the others in French Quarter force you to pay and take a tour. We just wanted to wander and it was nice.

Our last day there, we walked to the Canal St. Ferry Terminal and took the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen cruise down to the Chalmette Battlefield and back. Great way to see the sights and the narrator tells a lot of history as you pass the locations along the river.

If we ever find ourselves back in New Orleans, we would stay here again. I dinged them a star because of the premium price they charged on the closing day of the festival. That's a policy that can easily be changed.

Nice, clean site! Excellent upkeep! Very close to the French quarter and nice amenities for relaxation. Jacuzzi was nice although it was not very hot on our second night and the owner said it was as high as it could go. (Weird because we could only handle 20 minutes the day before and could not get warm on this night.) No campfires allowed. Expensive, but worth it for us to splurge.
