Nice park. Good campground. Clean warm bathrooms/shower and laundry. Looks like it wd be fun for kids in warm weather. Look at available sites before you ho with the one you reserved on line as some are more desirable than others. Staff very helpful.

A relatively small but very quiet and well located state park. We had previously stayed at Bayou Segnette State Park which we liked but found to be a bit of a hassle getting in and out of New Orleans. Saint Bernard is an easy 30 to 40 minute drive into the city. The camping sites are spaced well and when there are leaves on the trees I imagine there is quite a lot of privacy, which does not apply when there are no leaves although the spaces are far enough apart that one does not feel on top of one's neighbor. The Comfort stations are impeccably clean and for the most part, except in the morning when everyone is showering, there is plenty of hot water. The pressure is good and there are washers and dryers which we have not used but look to be in decent condition. $1.25/load The only thing detracting from the park for me is that there is only the park and the summertime splash Pool which limits any kind of hiking or biking. Once outside the park it is Highway and not conducive for biking. The area near the park is somewhat run down and several miles down the road is a large refinery. However, this is an excellent place if you want to go into New Orleans and have nice quiet nights when not in the city.

We have visited park twice, both times-same results...nice level sites...clean bathroom and laundry facilities, campground is well maintained and we enjoyed the trails for a good walk, too. Enjoyed seeing the armadillos scampering around and the sounds of owls in the early morning. Loved the park location and proximity to French Quarter..We look forward to a return stay...

Amazing wildlife! We saw owls, crows, robins, finches, cardinals, grackles, and egrets. The armadillos move from place to place but we saw them on several different days. On the sunny days we saw small alligators, lizards and turtles sunning. Ranger Ginger is very knowledgeable of the local wildlife and took the time to explain the mud piles as crawfish "homes". If you visit the office, you can see where the high water mark was for hurricane Katrina. There are 2 washers and 2 dryers in the bathhouse ($1 for each). The showers are decent and clean. A lot of the sites were extremely wet but they are decent sized and all have a cement pad for campers. There are water and electric hookups at each site. The dump station is on the "wrong" side (it's on the passenger side) so you have to go turn around and pull back into the camping area to dump. Overall this is a beautiful park and close enough to visit downtown NOLA but far enough away to be able to enjoy nature. Oh, and bring your bug spray for the mosquitos.

Great location; about a half hour from the French Quarter. The Ranger, Ginger, was super friendly and most helpful about the park and places to go and restaurants to visit. Park itself is an older park... Spacious campsites but shorter paved areas for RV's. We did barely manage to get our 38' RV on the door with our car in front. There were several fire ant hills near our site and they had a sign up on the bathroom door warning about bees and wasps possibly being a problem in the bathroom. Luckily it turned colder while we were there and we didn't have a problem with them. There were also a lot of holes in the ground and on the trail... The Ranger thought they were snake holes from what we described... Said they often come out on spring with warmer weather. We did see lots of holes but no snakes. Be aware that in spring and warmer weather in particular.... There are lots of mosquitoes and no-see-ums. That's because there is a swamp running through the campground with standing water. Just need to be aware and prepared... It's fine in cooler weather.
