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.

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 enjoyed my stay at Kat’s place. Great location! Downtown, the French Quarter and other cool places to explore are only a 15 minute bike ride away and Kat also had some great food recommendations (Katie’s!). Cool host, good location, would recommend!

I loved my stay at Kat’s little oasis in such a prime location, she went above and beyond during my stay. I am grateful for the time we got to chat, I found her easy to talk to, appreciated her knowledge on the area, local insight and community mindset.
Being at the 8 month mark of living in a camper, I can’t describe how incredible it was to have access to all the amenities!
Not to mention, she has a dog- what more could you ask for?
This was a mildly difficult space to get into as a truck and camper, granted- it was dark and I was by myself- but absolutely doable, and worth it.

Quiet intimate space in Kats yard. A little tight backing in, but worth it

We had an amazing time in New Orleans and it started with Kat's cozy campsite! We were amazed at the beauty of her plants surrounding the seating area. Very peaceful and conveniently close to a lot of the attractions. Already looking forward to staying there again! Had 30 amp electricity and water for our camper. Our camper measures roughly 22ft long by 9ft tall on the edges by 7ft wide for reference.

Kat is a thoughtful host. The yard is nice, lush with elephant ear and fig trees. Location is great. Easy to bus to the French quarter and walk the dog along the Mississippi. Also the yard is fully fenced, so my dog could have outdoor time in total safety.
We have a 3/4 ton truck and a 17' trailer. The street is narrow, so just getting lined up took some doing and backing in through the gate was tricky for us. It was a tight squeeze and we were unable to manoeuvre our door far from the fence because of this. If your set up is any bigger than ours, I'd recommend communicating with Kat first before booking. If your rig fits, you're good to go!

Great fenced place in an outstanding jumping off point for exploring the city. The French Quarter is a bike ride away, and during the constant event parking prices, the camp itself is the least expensive place to park, as well as stay. It is great for smaller campers.

Kat's place is amazing. The bus stop isn't far and it's literally 10 minutes away from the French Quarter. She is very nice to speak with and she makes good recommandations. If we ever good back to New Orleans, we'll stay there again!

Great spot! 45 minute walk to get to the Quarter and 3 minute walk to a nearby bus stop. I have a 19-foot travel trailer that fit the spot just fine. Fenced in yard with a locked gate was also a great safety feature for my rig. Kat was super accommodating, as well. Thank you again for everything!

Lovely yard next to Kats home with beautiful plantings and lovely host. Our 21 foot camper and truck fit perfectly although a trailer larger might feel crowded. Loved the proximity to good restaurants, Bourbon and Frenchman’s Streets. Highly recommend. Also, our dog loved the freedom a fenced in place gave her.

The best romantic camping in Louisiana guide
Where to go
Along the Gulf
Head along Louisiana’s coast, where you’ll find recreation areas, wildlife refuges, and, of course, beach campgrounds galore. Grand Isle State Park sits as close to the water as you can get, where RV sites are a fisherman’s paradise.
Follow the Mississippi
If you prefer the river to the gulf, stop in St. Francisville to get a taste of Louisiana’s local charm. The Mississippi River winds through Eastern Louisiana, and you can ride horses, hike, and fish throughout Tunica Hills. The peaceful blufflands house unique plants and animals, so you can birdwatch while cabin or tent camping.
Toward the Texas Border
Everything’s bigger in Texas—but not the Toledo Bend Reservoir, which hugs the border. On the Louisiana side, check out the RV campsite and cabin rentals at South or North Toledo Bend State Park. The area harbors some of the best Louisiana campgrounds, with picnic tables and group campsites. Cypress Bend State Park likewise overlooks the reservoir and offers unparalleled views.
Central Louisiana
You don’t have to head toward the state’s edge to appreciate Louisiana's beauty. Chicot State Park hovers in the state’s central south, with more than 6,000 acres of rolling hills. Within the park, you’ll find trails, cabins, and the Louisiana State Arboretum. There’s no better place to learn about—and see—the state's varied landscape.
When to go
Hurricane season runs between June and November. Save yourself the stress of unpredictable weather, and head to Louisiana between fall and spring. Remember that Mardi Gras celebrations pick up in February, so if you want a peaceful and secluded camping trip, keep the festivities—and their crowds—in mind. Luckily, enough campsites pop up beyond Louisiana’s major cities. You can easily find the perfect campground year-round.
