KOC Kampground - Just a basic campground. Friendly owners, many long-time live-ins. Convenient for a visit to Avery Island.

RV Parks:
Jude Travel Park 
There were not many good choices for RV parks in New Orleans. We decided and have definitely stayed at worse places. They are friendly and have all the hookups. Four miles from town.
