Pelican RV Park New Orleans is a well-maintained, family operated, multi-acre site for RVs, 5th wheels, travel trailers and other campers. Fairly well priced and well managed by a Father and Son team, that's as nice as can be. Smileys Restaurant and Bar is attached and serves strong drinks and amazing food at a great price. Conveniently close to the French quarter. Highly recommend if your trying to enjoy New Orleans. - 5 Star Guest Review

Overall, the experience was delightful. I was able to pull my little camper right next to the pond and enjoy the serene view over the landscape. I enjoyed fishing in the pond and caught multiple nice size bass and a catfish, and relaxing. My son enjoyed riding his bike on the path around the pond, playing on the playset, and feeding the alpacas. Had a great time, the host was excellent, and would definitely visit again.

We arrived Friday & had a fun time till we left Sunday. The property, the pond, & Ms. Erica were great. Ms. Erica even helped us out with some extra sleeping bags when the night time temps dropped lower than expected. From fishing in the pond to seeing all the animals, our grand-kids enjoyed & learned a lot on the farm setting. We’ll certainly add it to our “let’s go back” list!

Staying at Ron's place was amazing!! It doesn't matter how you park, the views from any window are breathtaking! Ron was easy to communicate with and flexible in allowing us more time during our stay. To get here, you will need to drive about a mile on a well-maintained and level gravel road. There is a fishing pier, about 50 feet from where we parked. We caught enough fish for dinner and saw lots of Bayou wildlife. When we visit Louisiana in the future, this place will be at the top of our list. Thanks, Ron, for being an incredible host.

The space was what I needed for the night. Nice and quiet place to pitch my tent. Cool animals around enhanced the space. My tent was pitched between a pond and a bunch of alpacas. A few restaurants not too far away. I did not take full advantage of the space since I was just passing through.

We loved camping on Ron's property! It was so peaceful and quiet, even with a few people driving up and down the gravel road going crabbing. There were cameras to keep your belongings safe if you left, like we did for a few hours, and Ron supplied everything, including a portable dump tank for the sites that do not directly connect to sewer. There were so many varieties of birds around, and we didn't see one snake or alligator near our campsite, so it is a very safe and large site if you have animals or children who like to play outdoors. We will definitely be back fir another relaxing, get away from everything weekend! Thank you Ron, for being such an amazing host!

Very quiet and peaceful out here. Ron was exceptionally helpful to us when he noticed one of our tires was flat. He pulled out an air compressor and pumped it up good enough for us to get to a tire store nearby where we got the tire replaced. Would definitely stay here again.
