Small campground but quaint and quiet. Some sites are full hookups while others are lacking sewer and while many have plenty of elbow room others are relatively close. Bathhouse is your basic one with water pressure and temperature up to par. The park is very quiet even though there is a picnic and water park area open to the paying public. There is really no hiking or walking trails except the campground itself or the public area. Beware of the invasion of termites on some evenings where you literally need to turn off the lights so they don't follow you into your RV. The best point is its location to New Orleans where you can literally go into town on the same road. I parked at the Hop On/Hop Off Bus and it was super easy and convenient. Town and shops are just a few miles away. Definitely will come back to it.

We truly loved this state park! The proximity to New Orleans was priceless! This was the first state park we stayed at on our new adventure as full-time RVers. It was beautiful and we felt safe. Nice trail and day use area.

It’s first come first serve State Park which makes it easier for us to get the site. We have two vans (19ft & 23ft), we were allowed to stay together at the same site. The campground looks nice. We were told the alligators could be there in the campground and should be careful. I personally like the column of trees along route 46 a few miles before getting to the campground.

A beautiful park. Sites are so good a lot of shade. Staff are great and they are very friendly! Grounds are well maintained!

We stayed here while biking The Southern Tier Bike Trail. It was calm, beautiful, and clean. I couldn’t believe our luck at finding a reasonably priced campground so close to the city! What a blessing to have a hot shower after a long day on the bike! Would definitely stay here again.
