The pool, laundry, and bath houses are so nice! Being so close to I-10 and surrounded by city streets, it was noisy and bright at night, but we used our white noise app and were able to sleep well. We were able to walk to the French Quarter and the River with no problem; although I hear it's well-lit and safe to walk at night, we were back before dark. It's a very short walk to the Basin Street Visitor Center where you can pick up buses. There are private tours that will pick you up and drop you off right at the gate. Besides all this good news, the staff deserves special mention - each one being nicer and more helpful than the next. We had a great experience here!

This is the closest RV site you will find to the Quarter in New Orleans. The area was secure and the check-in was very easy. The staff were great and didn’t have any issues. The park was well maintained and while the sites were close to each other, all the neighbors were fine. Didn’t use any of the amenities but looked well taken care of.

We enjoyed this campground right in the city. Short walk or cab ride to French Quarter. All sites are level concrete back-in. Pool, hot tub and washroom/showers clean and well l kept. You are right besideI-10 so you get a little traffic noise and sirens all night.

We decided to leave a day early due to already enduring lots of rainy weather—and it would only get worse within 24-hours. We also weren’t going to ask for a refund based on past reviews. Before we finished packing up we were approached by personnel telling us to stop by the office for a full refund for Friday night. What a nice surprise! Also, on our first day there we had issues with their cable and mentioned it to one of the office staff. They immediately sent someone out and we had insect it incorrectly! Another pleasant surprise! Great staff. Beautiful location. Literally 5-6 blocks from Bourbon Street—took us 20 minutes to walk there! Police station a few blocks over, too. We felt safe and enjoyed our unexpectedly short visit. We WILL return!!

You are within close proximity to Bourbon Street and the night we stayed there were 5 people were shot there. My son actually heard the gun shots. Pool area is really nice and sites are spacious and easily accessible. I didn't give 5 stars because the staff could be a little nicer. The security guard was not the friendliest when we first arrived. He had to golf cart to our site and ask us to check the paperwork he gave us to make sure it was ours as we were trying to set up so we could go to bed. Then the next day we were in the pool and there is a wall that contains part of the pool and part of the hot tub. My 15 year old daughter was just sitting on it and some older man came out and very rudely said, "Don't you know you're not supposed to do that". He told us a 7 year old boy stood on the wall and his family had to pay $10k to fix the wall because it broke. So first off, there are no signs saying not to sit or stand on it. So my daughter did not know she wasn't supposed to sit on it. It's the edge of the pool and many people typically sit on the edge of a pool. It is also the same wall that you have no choice, but to sit or stand on to get on the hot tub. He could've just told her nicely, but if they are that serious about it, they may want to put a sign up. The rules sign just said no diving or rough housing and she was doing neither. So they definitely need to work on their customer service. Especially considering how much you pay to stay there.

Yes, it’s $$$$ but you’re close to everything! Walking to the French quarter makes up for the cost, and you can’t get a much nicer resort than this. Very high end, with some noise pollution.

This was a great park for a visit to New Orleans. Conveniently placated to many attractions ... within walking distance. We love this! However, because the park is centrally located there are many city noises, sirens, road noise, trains. If you’re a light sleeper, just bring ear plugs. You’ll enjoy it otherwise.

The park itself is nice enough. Sights are wide with plenty of room for our large 5th wheel and truck. All the utilities worked fine. The staff was friendly. We didn’t use the pool or other amenities. It is very close to the French Quarter. A 10 minute walk and you’re in the heart of the action. This is why we chose this place (we stayed outside of town in the KOA last time we were in NOLA). The noise, especially all the sirens, is almost a show stopper for us. The park is right next to an elevated portion of I10 which causes some of the noise issues. But the police/fire/ambulance sirens were on another level. All times of the day/night during our stay. So, we would stay here again, but in non-Covid times when the KOA has their free shuttle running to/from the FQ we would probably consider that option first (half the price of this resort and much quieter).

As others stated, resort is a 5 minute walk to French Quarter and I felt very safe in the park due to large concrete wall and locked gate. You are very close to the highway so bring your noise canceling machine :) Warning...due to COVID, New Orleans and French Quarter are empty and most restaurants have limited hours. It was very strange the lack of people. Even Jackson Square is padlocked closed. Lots of homeless around and felt a little uneasy walking around. Wouldn't be there at night during this time.

Sugar Bowl special rate of $250 was steep, especially since we were just passing through. Nice & secure. #39 is near bathroom so convenient. Coffee pot on in rev room & complimentary ice machine nice touch. 1 block walking distance to the Quarter is sketch, as expected. Road noise not too bad after AC running. Easy access off highway.

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.

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!

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.

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.

It would be easy for these guys to up their game at this price point, but they don’t need to, and it shows. There’s no WiFi other than in the office (despite the small size of this park which would make it super easy to cover), the laundry room was filthy as were the machines, the sites are all brick pavers, which look great, but are staring to sink and heave and make the sites not quite level and finally, the staff have a very clear “we’re the only game in town” attitude. All that said, there’s no better place to park your RV if you’re visiting the French Quarter.

The cost keeps out the riff-raff (sorry, riff-raff… but I doubt you know who you are), and affords a true resort in the city. The place is not huge, but it is beautiful. Main building looks very NOLA, all brick and ironwork. The drives and spaces are all patterned brick, cobblestone and grass, lots of places for hot-paws to walk, large sites (I paced one pad at 48’), with double wide for your toad or all the set up you would like. They are all back in, so if you’ve not learned to back your rig yet, NOLA is not the place for you. Great hook ups (even those are pretty pedestals), ground level dump access (no walking that line… one of my peeves), the best cable I’ve encountered in all my travels, but no Wi-Fi except in the office. They had band-sucker issues and are working on a solution. They do have extra amenities like an ice machine, a lovely air conditioned Lobby, a very well equipped and beautiful computer room/office for guests, and beautiful screened gazebos in some of the sites. There is a lovely pool in a French Quarter type courtyard feel, with cascade jacuzzi and a very well equipped work out room, as well as a small laundry. The office is helpful and professional, booking tours and such, and called me when a package I had ordered was delivered. The main plus of this place is, of course, the location; which is what you’re paying for. It is a very short walk to the Hop on Hop Off bus terminal (3 minutes; basically across a parking lot), which takes you all over the city. It is a very manageable walk (15 minutes) to downtown, Bourbon Street, the Garden District, or the river. Right outside the gate is an inner-city park with loads of grass and a nice walk, if you’re comfortable with inner city parks. Caught a great basketball game with some of the local kids, and discovered the stable area right across the park where the city Carriage Horses are stabled! Neat to look in at all the carriages and get my pony fix. Reviews about the area are over dramatic. I would not walk it alone at night, no. But then, there are few unfamiliar places I would walk at night alone. This is, indeed, the perfect place to see New Orleans if you’re an RV’er.
Pricey as heck, but what are you gonna do?

If you want to live *in* the city, and walk to the French Quarter each night, this is your one and only place.

Perfect grass, perfect sites, perfect showers... you are getting what you paid for here. Only down side was the highway right overhead.

The rv park is next to I-10, so the closer your site is to the interstate the noisier it will be. The west side backs up to buildings that run AC compressors and the east side is bordered by a park. Sirens blair 24/7, about every fifteen minutes. You are in the city. Just bring ear plugs if you need them. You can't reserve a spot, but I did ask for a site away from the interstate, since we don't have AC. We lucked out with a perfect spot for us.This is an easy off and on location to I-10. If you do come across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway it will dump you off on the left side of a five lane highway and you need to cross all the lanes to exit in a short distance. So don't do what we did, try another route into the city. NOLA drivers show no patience.If you do a van tour of the city, our company picked us up at the RV site. The "Hop on and Off Tour Bus" and public transportation is a few blocks from the campground.There are not a lot of restaurants nearby, at least we didn't find any, but the front desk will tell you which ones in the area will deliver, if you don't want to go out in the evening. It is highly recommended you take a taxi at night. It fine to walk in the area during the day. There is trash strewn about, but that is true with most of NOLA. The dog walking area in the campground is tiny, but the Lafitte Linear Park is across the street. There is a bike path and many people were running too. Just be careful of broken glass, etc if you are walking your dog.The wifi at the campground works best if you sit in the lobby or pool area. Cell service with Verizon was fine and we didn't use our WeBoost.
Great NOLA, Batman!

We were able to have a nice dinner in town, walk the french quarter in the morning and have breakfast before leaving. The park itself is quite nice. It's right off I-10, so very easy to get to from the highway, but it's also a great location with easy walks to the French Quarter. All the spaces are back-in, and the entire park is done in nice pavers. The building is very cool with a nice pool. We'd definitely stay here longer next time so we could spend more time exploring NOLA.
Excellent location for walking NOLA

We were able to walk or take a trolley everywhere we wanted to go.The RV park is in the city, so there is some city noise. We blocked it out by running the fan on our A/C whenever we were home.Campsites are decent sized and are paved with tiles, which give a nicer appearance than concrete or asphalt pads.We appreciated soaking in the jacuzzi after long days of walking. It was clean and empty both times we used it.The laundry room was a little expensive but also clean.We never felt unsafe, the park is gated with metal spikes on the walls and there is 24/7 security.FYI they no longer offer Passport America or AAA discounts.

You can't camp any closer to the action unless you're homeless. Let me be clear: French Quarter RV isn't your state park campground shrouded in a canopy of oaks; quite the opposite actually. It's City Slicker Camping - a place to rest your head after a long night of sazeracs and jazz clubs. We're the outdoorsy types who usually seek out forested campgrounds with swimming holes, but this was our first visit to NOLA and we enjoyed the convenience of being so close to the Big Easy's main attractions - and I don't mean Bourbon Street. Go anywhere but Bourbon Street and you'll have an amazing time in this historic, vibrant town.FQRV is technically located on the border of the French Quarter and Treme neighborhood, but it's a reasonable walk to the heart of the French Quarter. If you don't want to walk, call a cab and they'll pick you up at your campsite (the front desk can help arrange it for you). If you look at the campground on Google Maps, you'll see that it is right next to I-10, but we didn't find it to be noisy (we weren't even running the A/C). When in the camper, we listened to the soulful sounds of 90.7 FM WOZZ, the local public radio station, which also announces a community calendar that will help you find live music throughout the city.FQRV has full hookups, gated with 24-hour management/security, a pool and hot tub, restrooms with showers, fitness room, coin operated laundry facilities, and an industrial ice machine [SCORE!]. We found everything to be clean and functional. The staff was friendly and helpful.It's pet friendly, but there's not much grass within the campground, so bring your bags. We enjoyed walking our dogs over to Armstrong Park (less than 10 minute walk each way), which has a lovely French cafe across the street, Mister Gregory's, great for breakfast or lunch.We used our Passport America and AAA discount to get a reduced rate, but it's still on the pricey side. However, it's cheaper than a hotel and you have all the the comforts of your home sweet home on wheels.Be sure to visit our blog at RivetedRoost.com for details on all the NOLA attractions and restaurants that we enjoyed during our stay in the Crescent City.
