Three Oaks & a Pine RV Park

The code-gated campground is located on a divided highway and not far from interstate 10. It is located in a sketchy neighborhood with a car repair service on one side and a train yard across the back. Especially on weekends you could hear the trains, the racing motorcycles, the gunshots and the repair business with a barking dog. The site is level with gravel and grass and they cut the grass weekly. It is so well lit at night that I didn’t need a flashlight to walk the dog. The laundry facilities are located in the “office” and you can’t do laundry in the residential machines after 5pm. Even though it’s in a sketchy neighborhood, I felt safe inside the gates. It is, after all, located in a big city.

We recently stayed at Three Oaks and a Pine for three months. The Owners for this place are god awful. The communication was terrible, there are 3 owners, none even live in the state of LA and when you call to book a reservation you are forwarded to one of the owners at random, so you never know which one you were going to get. We called 3 weeks prior to book our stay, gave the card information and were told we're all set. Called 2 days prior to arriving because we were ahead of schedule, and they didnt even have our reservation, didnt know anything about it because I was talking to a different owner and the first one never completed our reservation like we were told. I specifically asked if they could accommodate us coming in a day earlier and was told it would not be a problem, I clarified that I understood it was a holiday and again was told it was not a problem. We get to the campground after we got the payments settled and low and behold we are sitting at the gate with our camper on the highway. No one gave us THE CODE for the gate and no one was answering the phone to the campground when we tried calling to get the code. Our camper was half sitting in the Highway for 15 minutes. Thankfully another camper that was already staying there opened the gate for us since we were stuck. They couldn't agree on a site for us to be at, they had us slotted for site 10 on our receipt, but there were what appeared to be permanent squatters on site 10. Multiple times Kevin had to come and ask what name the reservation was under because they couldn't keep track of who was staying at what site. We had Kevin who was basically the only onsite staff, call and have then charge our card for the next month. A week later they called my wife 4 times while she was at work because a different owner processed the payment and this owner was trying to collect a duplicate payment because they don't communicate between the 3 owners (which all 3 quoted me different prices for a monthly rate). They kept thinking we were at site 10 when we were at another site. Kevin was great. He knew what to do and where everything was and how it works there. He seriously doesn't get enough credit. He was so nice and accommodating. The campground is fairly small which is fine considering its in the city. What I found most ironic was while booking the reservation (twice) I was asked if our camper was in disrepair or had any damages and they made it sound like they actually cared about what kind of campers they got in there. But when we arrived site 10 that seemed to have the squatters on it, their underbelly was falling out when we arrived and remained that way for the entire 3 months we were there leaving insulation debris everywhere, they constantly had their trash strewn all around their camper, and tied their dog to their door and left it outside but the length of the rope was long enough to completely encircle their camper allowing it to defecate on our site or wherever it wanted and they never cared to clean up after it. They also had some sort of issue with their septic, where they left literal black tank waste on our campsite when it poured out of their waste line. I honestly can't speak high enough of Kevin. That man runs this place and makes sure it is safe. He needs a serious pay increase. Always is doing something productive and helping other campers get situated.
There are gunshots that are very close to the campground every single night, throughout the night. The area is extremely dangerous and road laws don't apply here at least on Chef. I could never recommend this place to anyone. This is the absolute wrong area for a campground. Prostitution is very heavy in the area. No law enforcement. So in conclusion if you want to hear gunshots every night, have owners that has no idea what is going on and tries charging you twice, love garbage meaning literal trash around the area (not campground) and arguing neighbors this is the place for you. If it wasn't for Kevin we probably wouldn't have stayed here.

Not the easiest to access as there is a concrete median in front of the entrance.
We couldn’t have have the passport America price as it was 2 weeks before Mardi Gras but they offered an extra night so we stayed for a total of 8 nights. We booked before knowing anything about the neighbourhood!
The campground is a flat grassed-ish and gravel-ish surface with full hookups. There is literally 3 oaks and one pine at the front; so no shade BUT great for starlink service!!!!
We didn’t have any problems with the hookups. It’s a great place for full time RVers to receive parcels.
It’s all fenced up and code-gated at night. A lot of lights illuminating the campground at night. So much so that you don’t need any flashlight or any other light to get the dogs do their business pass 8pm. Unfortunately, this also means you have to cover your windows and domes if you want to sleep. That is if you can sleep throughout train noises, GUNSHOTS (!!!) and cars and motorcycles racing through the night. We left this 8 days “vacation” extremely tired and cranky. We loves N.O. but we were extremely happy to leave and would never go back. Nor would recommend any campground in this neighbourhood.
P.S. I never left a bad review or this long ever.

On our visit to New Orleans I stayed here based on reviews. My main focus was full hookup, clean shows and safety. Three Oaks and a Pine delivered all 3. It is an older park in a convenient location, but in an area where I appreciated the park is secured with an entry gate (keypad) and bright lighting at night. We had a good stay and a good value for our money.

Site was level but area at back was low and prone to flood on rainy day. Park is not in the nicest area but is secure with gated entry and we had no issues while there. Best to use a driver service if going to the French Quarters as parking simply doesn't exist in evenings.Train runs behind campground but only heard trains during daytime and evening and even then wasn't loud. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. WiFi was free but not too fast, even with a booster. Got good Verizon service though.

The only reason we stayed here was it's proximity to the French Quarter. It's about a $14 ride-share into downtown. There is also a bus stop right across the street, which we didn't try. Other reviewers are right, it's a sketchy neighborhood. But the park is fenced and gated, with a guard dog. It's noisy at night with street traffic and loud industrial sounds at odd hours. It's between several auto repair shops. Owner was very nice. Provided lots of restaurant recommendations. Our $30 a night price was for full-hookups with a Passport America discount.

(Stayed Jan. 2018) We were looking for the cheapest (but still safe) place to stay near the French Quarter. This park is definitely it. The owner is new, and very nice and accommodating. This is basically a large, gated, flat, unpaved lot that you can back in to a space on either side (no pull-thru). The individual spaces are fairly level and close. The water pressure is a bit low. There is a clubhouse with a lounge and a small laundry area. We had 30amp FHUs and 4 bars Verizon LTE.

The area is sketchy, and we were advised by our Lyft driver to stay inside the RV park, but we never felt unsafe while we were there.

Worst thing is the location/neighborhood. You’re about 5 miles from downtown NOLA and not in a great community. The park is fenced and gated at night, so it did feel safe to be camped there, but the surrounding area wasn’t enjoyable. The spots were specious and hookups worked well, although he sewage didn’t seem to drain properly. On site facilities that we used (lounge and laundry) were clean. All around it was an affordable option within reach of the city for a few nights.
