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

Lovely location with the ability to sit in the shade under the house and her hospitality is beyond measure. There is water and a toilet, but it is cold water. Our only drawback has been the condensation in our tent in March with cool night temperatures. But we have just hung our sleeping bags

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.

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.

We enjoyed our one night stay at the Bayou Peninsula. Deborah was a great communicator and made the experience very easy. We wish we had more time to enjoy the docks and water. We hope to stay agaim when we pass this way.

Debbie was the most kind and over-the-top accommodating host I’ve ever met. She spoiled me and my two girls! She fed us dinner and gave the girls treats. In the morning she gave the girls hot chocolate, toys and beads to play with. Her property was fun… being right on the bayou! She even had kayaks for us to use. She set chairs out for us to use to watch the bats at sunset. An absolutely amazing time was had!

We LOVED our time at Bayou Peninsula! Debbie and O.J. are gracious hosts with a beautiful property. The location is conveniently near I-10, the beach in next door Waveland, also bars, restaurants, shopping etc while being secluded enough to enjoy true peaceful down time. We enjoyed watching the waterfront property change with the tides and stargazing by the firepit at night. Debbie's generous hospitality cannot be overstated. She went above and beyond to make our stay a success. We look forward to our next getaway at Bayou Peninsula. If you go, say hi to their adorable pups Sandy and Leroy for us! Thanks again Debbie!!
