It's a park and campground. Reasonably sized sites. Many are paved. Bathrooms are kept very clean so far. The showers are also kept clean, but are very small. Also not very private as curtains do not reach end to end. Area outside the shower has a partial curtain. No place to sit, but ample hooks. Campsites are relatively close to the public picnic area and beach. We'll maintained trails with educational signage. We called in a fallen tree on a path and within the hour they sent someone in with a chainsaw. Personnel at the entrance were super friendly and full of tips on how to make our stay the best it could be. Visitors center is nice. Artifacts could use additional labeling. Highly recommend. April into May camping.

No rooms/service. The campground was nice and clean. The bathouse was taken care of like clockwork. We had visits from squirrels and raccoons. The ground seems to hold water constantly, which contributes to the bugs. We had fun and the fishing area is nice!

Beautiful trip to take the kids and family out on the weekend. They have cabins with bunk beds 4 to be exact and a master bedroom a nice-sized bathroom your own parking and the view is simply amazing! I highly recommend this place.

The one star is for the beauty of the park & for the people who work there who seem very nice. Both deserve 5 stars HOWEVER how they charge for services and camping is why i say go to another park! I had to move my reservation from last wk to this wk because of a damn TORNADO WARNING! No ones fault. On top of the $25 deposit (i already paid- that i wouldnt get back if i canceled due to a TORNADO warning)i also had to pay &15 to change dates! ASININE! Then $20 more when i got there. So $60 for two nites camping in a TENT! No housekeeping or electric or bathrm- im being sarcastic- ITS A TENT SITE! $60! The $15 irks the shlt outta me. Go to another beautiful park. A shame. State rules? Maybe theyll see this in the grapevine and make changes coz it lessens the value of the great workers there and beautiful scenery.

The cabins out over the water are a beautiful place to stay, and the park connects with the Tammy Trace if you ride bikes. You do have to make your own beds, but the sheets are provided. At almost $200 a night, I was surprised by this, but it wasn't a big deal.

Camped here for 3 days. Very impressed by cleanliness of park, bath houses and campsites. Had the opportunity to meet Cathy and her mother Marie. Very friendly and helpful. Some of the best camp hosts we’ve ever met. Thank you for a great stay!!!

It's a pretty well maintained park. The staff are friendly, and the bathrooms are well kept. The only downside is that they only have two washer and dryer machines per laundry room. Maybe adding two more could help with laundry wait time, and they could get a little increase in their residual income.

This state park is situated on the north Bank of Lake Pontchartrain. The Campground is not on the Lake, but rather back in the low, swampy areas. We reserved an improved site (81,) which has a perfectly level pad, but the area around the pad is muddy with standing water from recent rains. Bathhouse is nice, clean, with great water pressure and hot water. Very good since there are no sewer hookups. Lots of bike trails and close to shopping. Great place to stay for proximity to NOLA while still enjoying outdoor activities. Update after 2 week stay: it rained pretty good and we ended up with swamp front property. Thankfully we were on an improved site with a raised concrete pad so we only lost our fire pit to the swamp. Other sites were underwater for a day or more.

Beautiful State Park, especially the beach area! Entrance is $3/person. The alligator marsh boardwalk was closed due to damages from previous hurricanes. Trails are nice, might be a bit muddy at some points. Definitely worth it! Many photos shooting happening. Great spot for family pictures!
