    We stayed at Bayou Segnette SP for 3 weeks in the campground. We stayed at sites 56 and 66 in our RV. The campground is surprisingly quiet, clean, has some nice walking paths on boardwalks throughout, and has enough trees and nature between each spot that you don't feel like you can hold hands with your neighbor through your RV window. The park is within 20 minutes of lots of great food options, and 20 minutes from the Algiers Point ferry, which goes directly into the French Quarter for $2 per person each way. We went during Mardi Gras and the ferry was a great way to get in and out, but finding a parking spot by the ferry was difficult. Uber and Lyft rides during MG range about $60 each way plus tip, and can be difficult to come by from the park, so don't rely on that, especially during peak festival times. We had multiple drivers cancel on us. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

    It's Bayou Segnette. Great place to camp if you also want to stay close to the New Orleans area. Camping here is great. Trails are great. Fishing options are good too if you have a boat.

    I spent a few days just chilling at Bayou Segnette in cabin 3, which is dog friendly. The cabin was very clean and spacious. Pretty much everything you need is there, other than personal items. The cabins do float on water and depending on the current can move around. First night was rough, second night it barely moved, third was a combo. My pup wasn't comfortable with the floor moving that first night. If you suffer from motion sickness, that might be an issue. For those that fish, each cabin has a fish cleaning station to keep everything outside. I would definitely recommend this if you want a quick getaway or looking for a safe, quiet place to stay while enjoying New Orleans.

    We love this park! The seafood market is a short drive away, which is perfect for camping dinners. There are a number of activities you can fully take in including biking and hiking. Pet friendly too!

    Price is great. Vicinity to the city & Lake Ponchatrain great. I camped here in a tent from July 11th-17th. It wasn't that hot to me but I also enjoy humidity and am not very high mantinence, some people were complaining so I guess I'd be careful if you're easily flushed, overheated or accostumed to A/C. Sunsets & rises were GLORIOUS!!!! Area was very green with huge beautiful trees and lots of great bird watching. Not many other neighbors and the bathrooms were close. I didn't too much mind the spiders, we did kill a giant black widow near the number posts or the Wasps nests in the electric outlets or the bugs at night as it's the South lol. What I found disgusting was the sewage overflowing from the bathroom shower drains, filthy floors and sinks- and good God the stench!!! The worst part-The cockroaches. They bombarded my vehicle and it took me two weeks, already back home, to get them all out of my car. It was disgusting driving down the highway and swatting them off my thighs- yuck. Oh and a racoon stole a steak while I was standing right there and it was light out!!! LMAO. So funny!!! Didn't mind that much either it was just hilarious so yeah, WARNING. I could see dozens of sets of eyes in the brush once I started looking at night. My dog enjoyed chasing armadillos but I wouldn't recommend allowing them off leash. Enjoy!

    I rented a cabin for the weekend to celebrate my sons' birthday! This cabin has tiny roaches everywhere! I can't get comfortable knowing there's tiny roaches crawling everywhere! I can definitely say Cabin #8 has a roach infestation! I'm sitting up at 1am writing this review because I cannot and will not sleep comfortably in this place. The lady at the desk told us to call the number listed if there was any problems. I've been calling all night... NO ANSWER! I can't even leave a message! I paid $400 to stay for 2 nights! I could have stayed in a luxury hotel at this rate! I'm sure I wouldn't have had to worry about roaches! Very disappointed ! I want a refund! I'm so afraid these roaches will get into my belongings and infest my house!

    Visited this place during my trip to New Orleans to get away from the craziness of the French Quarter. On the positive side, it was only $3 for the day, there's a breeze and it's much less hot there than other areas, and there was a nice little hiking trail which was shady and cool. On the negative side (for me), it's much more well-groomed and "park-like" than I expected. Not a lot of wildlife (except for the giant spiders which could be observed jumping into their (huge) burrows as I approached - fellow arachnophobes be warned!).

    A fantastic hidden gem of a park on the westbank. It is so nice, wide open area, lots of room for activities ;-) I frequent this place for a aircooled Volkwagen car club annual event. At this event, we rent a pavilion that has running water and two charcoal bbq pits, with a near by clean restroom, while the whole area is peppered with bbq pits. There is paved parking adjacent to the pavilion and a choice of 6 pavilions. Each is identical except for the view. During the summer months there is a wave pool the family can play in. I never been in there but I have seen it and its almost empty most days. Sort of a hidden pool. There used to be cabins to rent but thanks to a storm whose name I will not mention, those cabins were destroyed. Its only $1 to enter and a fantastic place to go parking, necking, or eating a Mo's pizza by your lonesome without being judged by onlookers wondering if your gonna eat the table cloth too and drink all the root beer out of the dispenser and use all the crushed ice. There is a few monkey bars in here for the kids and the speed limit is enforced with a bunch of speed bumps and park rangers on 4 wheelers. Nice and safe environment that should be enjoyed for no reason at all but to get away from the hustle and bustle.

    Stayed here several times in my RV while visiting New Orleans. The park is large and quiet with lots of wildlife. Sites are large and there is plenty of wooded area and grass around to make you forget that you're 20 minutes from Bourbon Street. The downside is the rather rude staff at the front gate - not just one individual, it seems to be an epidemic.

    I love Bayou Segnette! Of course I might be a little bit biased since I have been docking out of here for hunting and fishing since I have been 7 years old. If you are going here to dock out for duck hunting, the main gate isn't open early in the morning so you have to take the back entrance. The fee for entry is like 3 bucks, and if you go the back entrance in the early morning, payment is on the honor system. DON'T BE A DOUCHEBAG and not pay, and plus half the time there is a wildlife and fisheries agent watching to see if people pay or not, and if they catch you, that's your ass! There are also cabins that you can rent for the week or for the weekend that sit right on the water. They are very nice and the scenery is beautiful. Also, there are shelters you can rent for the day to just have a BBQ with family and whatnot. If you rent a shelter, bring a bike! It is alot of fun to just go bike riding throughout the park on a beautiful day. Also, if you are just entering the park to go to a shelter or just bike ride, the entry fee is just $1 per person. I try to sway away from 5 star reviews, however Bayou Segnette deserves it in my opinion.

    Rail over which you have to fish.

    So much fun to visit City Park in New Orleans on the first day of Spring. (It's actually one of the…read moreplaces that I visit almost every trip to New Orleans.) The park is sprawling. Covering 1300 acres, it is one of the largest urban parks in the US. Bike trails, walking trails, museums, restaurants, sculpture gardens, botanicals gardens and an amusement park for kids. What more could you want? Love art? Check out NOMA. This is often on my agenda. Love the rotating exhibits, Newcomb pottery and collection of impressionist paintings. I use my Graycliff annual pass for reciprocal admission fees. Bonus: One of my besties works here! Want art outdoors? The newly expanded sculpture garden is so beautiful and free to explore. Frank Stella. Yaacov Agam. Beverly Pepper. Take a photo with LOVE by Robert Indiana. Don't sit on Bear with Us by Frank Gehry. Feel free to walk across the Mississippi Meaders Bridge. Take a selfie in the Mirrors Labyrinth. Love to talk a walk here. Sorry, GiGi. No dogs allowed. Love flowers? If you are lucky, you may see tulips or wildflowers. Or visit the New Orleans Botanic Garden. It's also included on the Graycliff Martin annual reciprocal pass. The garden is filled with azaleas, camellias and beds of roses. Love the native Louisiana raised vegetable beds and the butterfly garden. Sit under the oaks on a park bench or a swing to take a rest. Like art? Explore the large collection of Enrique Alfarez sculptures spread throughout the garden. Hungry? Thirsty? This is the best place to visit Cafe du Monde. No lines and the parking is free and so much easier than the quarter. Order a cafe au lait or a hot chocolate with a plate of beignets. Then grab a table with a green umbrella outside to enjoy the sunshine and the famous oak trees in the park. City Park has one of the largest collections of Live Oak trees in the world. Have a kid? Or just feel like a kid? Storyland is so cute! Created by Mardi Gras float makers, it is a New Orleans classic full of whimsy. Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Mother Goose. It is filled with fairy tale and nursery rhyme classics. Fun fact: New Orleans City Park is one of the largest parks in the US. At 1,300 square acres it is almost twice as large as New York's Central Park which is just a little over 800 square acres and does not make the top twenty for size. (But Central Park is still amazing, too!) Parking is free. Or come by streetcar. It stops near NOMA. Thanks for the free flowers on the first day of spring.

    I'd recommend City Park to anyone. It's a great spot for walking, running, photo shoots, picnics,…read moreand just enjoying some fresh air. It's very relaxing and a huge plus that you don't have to go far to feel surrounded by nature. There's always plenty of space and you can easily find a place to sit and unwind. I come out here a few times a week for walks and usually on Saturdays with my run club. It's one of my favorite places in the city to reset and stay active.
