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

We had a pleasant 3 day stay with easy access to downtown New Orleans. The RV park was exactly how it was represented online, a big parking area with good connection to new hook ups. The place was very secure and we felt safe. Very quiet and we enjoyed the intermittent sounds of nearby trains. Management was very friendly, met us on our arrival and very helpful with set up.
Be aware to be sure you call right before you arrive so security gate can be opened - otherwise you’re RV will stick out into busy street. Thanks BJ!

A safe place to stay the night! This was a no frills RV park (no bathroom, simple grassy lot) but the gated entrance and well lit area was comforting. Brijesh was super friendly and welcoming! There was a bit of noise from the nearby train, but also super fun to watch it go by. Overall I would recommend! Great value.
