Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire RV Park in New Orleans--EDIT new plan

planning a trip in our fifth wheel to New Orleans. End of July, first of Aug flexible dates but staying for a couple of weeks, weather dependent.

can anyone recommend a clean and safe RV park, with full hookup?

Mixed reviews of all parks. I'm good sam and Dyrt members but for some reason this time I can't seem to locate that really nice location by using those websites.

OK, new plan. avoiding NOLA, headed to the Smokies instead. have a really great option for RV parks, with great reviews, somewhere between Murphy and Cherokee NC.

thanks in advance.

Do you want to be right in the middle of NOLA? If not, what's the max distance that you would want to be?

I've looked at places 5-10 miles away from downtown area, so not a requirement to be downtown.

I would like to be as close as possible, but once I start making the requirement to be "clean and SAFE" it seems to be driving us away from anywhere downtown. I can drive or take alternate transportation from a place further away from city center. Clean and safe are the main issues. thanks!

I'm a Dyrt Pro member, not a lot of help there.

French Quarter RV Resort is safe. It is surrounded by a large concrete wall with razor wire on top. The area around it is safe during normal hours. Can get dicey late. It seems to stay booked up though. DO NOT stay at one of the parks in New Orleans East. Bayou Segnette State Park is very good, but a little further than you'd like to be. If you have any questions about any of them, let me know.

Safe? Nothing is ever safe.





Safe? New Orleans?

How about safest?

Yes, I am learning. This will have been our first trip to NOLA, and I'm learning that the place is somewhat of a chithole, LOL.

August? Safe? New Orleans? There are some very nice RV parks in WY, ID, and MT that would be far more comfortable.

Stay away from NOLA.

Update

Don’t do it!

I've read some posts on RV sites saying even high dollar RV have not always been able to keep up with the cooling needs during peak heat wave times.... full hook up or no.

Do you have family in the area you want to visit? Peak Summer in New Orleans in an RV.... just saying

Funny you mention that. We spent May and June in Las Vegas. 108-112 deg, Not a shade tree in sight. we have 1 AC that is indigenous to the RV, we ended up getting 2 additional portable (floor) AC units from Costco, vented them out the Windows and ran separate 30 amp cords for them. I can cool the RV pretty well.

What you run into in the south is mold and condensation from the Humidity. I've been doing this for a while.

You had me scratching my head on the NOLA thing.

I had some Former Military acquaintances that told me they had a great time some years back. I have now learned that the old NOLA is gone, and it is a complete toilet. LOL

WHAT? No armed guards with Uzis???


Geeeeez........

I've had to sleep in NOLA,
mid summer, broken a/c, in a semi.
Cabover, so the engine was directly under me. As it cooled, the bunk didn't.



Suckage was in the top percentile range.

Katrina changed a lot of things in NOLA, none of them for the better. Give it back to France as a 'goodwill gesture'. That'll fix them.

This is why everything and everyone on this forum has to be taken with a grain of salt. This fugger claims retired Navy in the avatar and doesn’t know he can stay at JBNO ?

All Bullchit !
