Fireside RV Resort
Overview
Fireside RV Resort is a premium destination located in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, often celebrated as the Strawberry Capital of the World. This park offers a sophisticated escape for travelers who want to combine the freedom of RVing with the comforts of a high-end retreat. It serves as a premier recreation hub where the focus is on creating a community-centric atmosphere centered around relaxation and luxury outdoor living. The resort is designed to feel like a destination in itself rather than just a place to park for the night.
Location & Surroundings
The park is conveniently situated in the heart of Tangipahoa Parish, providing a serene backdrop of Louisiana scenic Northshore. Ponchatoula offers a charming, small-town feel with its moss-draped oaks and historic architecture. Its strategic location makes it an excellent jumping-off point for visitors wanting to explore the Greater New Orleans area or the Baton Rouge corridor while returning to a quiet, secure environment at the end of the day.
Amenities & Park Features
The resort is defined by its impressive water features, including an expansive lazy river and a heated pool with a popular swim-up bar. Guests can enjoy catch-and-release fishing in the well-stocked lake or participating in a friendly match on the professional-grade pickleball courts. Every site is designed with modern convenience in mind, featuring spacious concrete pads, full hookups, and personal fire pits. High-speed internet and clean, modern bathhouses ensure that your stay is as comfortable as it is enjoyable.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the park gates, you can spend an afternoon browsing the many antique stores in downtown Ponchatoula or visiting the Joyce Wildlife Management Area for a unique boardwalk swamp tour. Families will love the close proximity to the Global Wildlife Center in nearby Folsom, where you can see exotic animals in a vast savanna setting. For a taste of city culture, a short drive south takes you to Lake Pontchartrain and the world-class dining of the New Orleans area.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is perfectly suited for active families and social travelers who desire a vacation-style environment rather than a secluded wilderness camp. It is a fantastic choice for those who appreciate modern infrastructure and resort-grade facilities. If you are traveling in a large motorhome and want a staycation vibe with plenty of onsite activities to keep every generation entertained, Fireside RV Resort is an ideal match for your travel style.

We stayed here in 2016 and wow what an improvement in 9 years. Owner has really went the extra mile to make this place special. Great RV resort. We are only here for 3 nights, then on to San Antonio but staff was friendly, grounds were spotless and bathhouses clean. Only complaint is you have to resign into the WiFi hourly when using it. Once a day would be reasonable. That would be the only improvement I can see they could make. I’m sure it’s just a setting in their routers. Otherwise, we highly recommend Fireside.

This camp ground is the best bc you’re in the woods and not a sidewalk concrete resort! The sites are nicely set up with a picnic table and fire box. Guest are invited and October is the best to see and treat the little ghost and goblins. Keep up the good work. Excellent agenda this weekend

Fireside is absolutely amazing! Great sites, lazy river and adults only pool with a bar. Small little café with snacks after a long day floating. Prices are really affordable! We drove 5 hours from the Gulf Coast of Texas to come here and will definitely come again! Scott and Logan do an amazing job of keeping the park Perfect!

The good: Halloween festivities were great and seemed to be well organized. Lazy river, swim up bar and staff were great. Had an issue with our golf cart.. the staff helped us out. Reasonably priced. The bad: Got in after 7:30pm due to traffic back ups! Park was very, very dark and no escort to lead us to our site. Navigating to our site with a trailer in tow in the dark, the rear end of the Tiffin is now wrecked! Ugh. Wifi is NONEXISTENT. Had to get the password to corporate wifi to be able to work and watch TV. The wifi doesn't even show up on your phone. Spoke to other guests and same problem. WIFI IS A MUST! The pond had lots of trash along the shoreline that looked to have been there for some time. Seating area at our site needed to be leveled. Super large hole in the ground that was covered over with picnic table. Overall, trip was good but I would call this a RV Park not and RV Resort.

Place was great. Pretty close to the highway. Pad was level and the layout was nice. Price was reasonable. Lots of room to take a walk. Had a pool and a lazy river. Could easily spend a couple of days there.
