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! 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. Warning: If your camper/RV is tall, it is tight getting in because there is a branch near the gate that hangs down to about 10.5 - 11 feet. This is best for small pull behinds and camper vans.

Fairview Riverside State Park camping guide

Overview

About

You just can’t beat the Tchefuncte River for serious fishing, paddling, and boating. Anglers cast for bass, bluegill, white perch, and bream, and if you travel a bit further out, to where river meets lake, you can try your hand at hooking catfish, trout, and redfish. If you prefer to keep your feet firmly planted, there’s a sweet hiking trail, and a historic mansion size museum that you can tour for an itty-bitty fee. The spacious campground gives you access to all the river has to offer, namely breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For a vacation that’s part recreation, part sport, and part history, head out to Fairview-Riverside State Park.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Fairview Riverside State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty of the park is at its peak. Summer months can be quite warm and humid, while winter may bring cooler temperatures that are perfect for campfires and cozy gatherings.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a comfortable and safe experience.
  • Be aware of park hours, which are typically from 8:30am to 5pm, to plan your activities accordingly.
  • Remember to pack insect repellent, as the proximity to the river can attract mosquitoes.
  • Wear appropriate footwear for exploring nature trails and walking along the riverbank.
  • Facilities such as restrooms and picnic areas are available, but it's wise to bring your own supplies in case of high visitor volume.
