Creature comforts

Enjoy the comforts of home—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.

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.

LOVED this space!

I absolutely loved camping here! It was a secure area with a gorgeous community garden and sustainable setup. The bathroom/shower was clean and there was plenty of water, space for the tents, and even space to pull our motorcycles into the gated area. Mark was such a gracious host - greeted us, showed us around, and made sure we had everything we needed. I would stay here again and again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Pelican Gardens! Mark could not have been a more amazing and generous host. The garden is so beautiful and all of the space was just magical! Bathroom was really nice and very clean. Kitchen area was awesome and the whole place was really warm and inviting. The neighborhood is quiet and felt very safe, especially with the gate. Overall just wonderful experience and hope to return!

Brit was awesome, greeted me and made me feel incredible welcome yet provided independence on the property. Mark visited once to say hi and seemed generous. There was a nice couple staying in the main shipping container unit who I shared a bathroom / showers with. Felt safe and plenty spacious. Biked to the ferry along the levy at sunset and wow beautiful spot!
