We're a non profit community garden in the Old Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans on the West Bank of the Mississippi River, a 15 minute drive or ferry ride to the French Quarter. We use the money from these bookings to fund the community food access work that we do. While you're here you can enjoy our peaceful and spacious garden property, and we encourage you to get to know some of the fantastic neighbors who use our community fridge and herb garden.
Take the scenic Mississippi River Levee Path 1 mile to get to the Algiers Ferry dock which departs every 30 minutes and drops you off at the foot of Canal Street in the heart of New Orleans. If you have a car you can cross the bridge and get to most of the city in 15 minutes. You can also explore Algiers Point with its many restaurants, bars, local art and historic buildings. The levee trail is a block away, where you can jog, bike, or just watch the boats go by.
Property amenities include an open air bathroom and shower, communal screened porch with seating area, propane grill and various pots/pans, cooking gear and tableware, fridge, picnic tables and a small fire pit. There is an herb garden out front and there may be fruits and vegetables available for you, fresh from the garden, depending on the time of year.

This cozy fenced-in spot provides a place to plug in your RV and stay in the Big Easy in a safe, tucked away side yard just minutes from the Bywater, Marigny and French Quarter and a few blocks from the Mississippi River. You can drive, bike, or Uber to hundreds of bars and restaurants in less than 15 minutes.
Enjoy your morning coffee on the brick patio and feel free to use the fire pit (fall/winter only) and hammock! Please don't mind Poka, my old and gentle English Shepherd, who may wander around. The description says an acre because it is impossible to put in a smaller number, but the actual parking space is about 25 x 50 ft, with additional hangout space nearby.
I am right next door (on the other side of the fence) if you need anything and can help navigate entering and setting up and give you a key to lock the gate with.

Nice vibe! Did you know there's a community fridge? For us it was a sane, safe and quite special place to spend 4 nights leading up to Mardi Gras 2026 Thanks for sharing Mark.

I LOVE my hometown and was elated to be a guest on Kat's property! It was everything you could want for a low-key, comfortable, urban camping experience in the best city ever. Kat was wonderful on all fronts, the location and proximity was ideal, and the neighborhood vibes were local and chill. Great stroll to the riverfront. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning soon!

We had such an incredible experience staying with Deborah and her husband. They were kinder and more welcoming than I ever could have imagined. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel comfortable and genuinely cared about our stay.
Deborah went above and beyond by recommending amazing local spots to explore, and every suggestion was a hit. You can tell she truly loves the area and wants her guests to experience the best of it. Their hospitality made the whole trip feel special like we were visiting friends.
If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate. It’s rare to meet hosts who are this thoughtful and generous. We would absolutely stay again.

I stayed here while visiting New Orleans to experience Mardi Gras. Plenty of space, calm, quiet, peaceful. I got some great rest after spending time in the city. Got a couple of good pics of the bridge at night as well.

We had a great time camping out in Pelican Gardens! It has everything you could need & is nestled in the perfect location to take the ferry across the river and go out for the night.

I stayed here because it was an affordable place to stay for Mardi Gras, but I definitely plan to come back when I have more time to hang out and volunteer at the farm! It is a very quiet and peaceful space, and a really cool project based on taking care of the community :)

Unique spot in the city. Felt very safe. Kat was available from the moment we clicked. Easy enough access for my class A size van We were able to stay parked and got the day pass for the RVA public transport and moved around with bus and trolleys. Get the APP. Definitely keeping this spot on my radar for New Orleans

I loved tent camping here! The setup was just as described, and the amenities were unique and perfect. The location was ideal for spending New Year's in NOLA. The ferry was quick and only $2 one way, so I could explore the city and escape to some serenity to sleep. I highly recommend this spot.

Deborah has a great place for a quick overnight. It's very peaceful for a restful night from busy campgrounds. I car-camped, but I made sure I was fully self-sufficient. It was so nice to sit by the water.

This piece of campsite in the midst of a gardeb is beautiful as well as comfortable. We camped with a hatch tent attached to our SUV and the campsite was big enough for it. Facilities are clean and you wake up to the sound of birds. Though Mark was not on site during our stay, he was super responsive and helped answer all our questions. Would definitely come back.

We really enjoyed our stay at Pelican Gardens! The gardens were beautiful and we felt very at home in our van. The area was safe and about a 25 minute walk to the ferry which was convenient for us. Being from MN, we loved the weather and the enclosed outdoor shower. Would highly recommend!
