Bayou Segnette State Park

Perfect location to park up the RV and head into NOLA for Mardi Gras. The park is behind a huge flood control wall, which isn’t attractive - but highly functional. No pools open, only very short trails, bathrooms cleaned daily. Lots of camp hosts, but they don’t seem to be very inclined to meet and greet (not usual for State parks tbh). Laundry a steal at $1.75/load, but one was overflowing at the... Perfect location to park up the RV and head into NOLA for Mardi Gras.

Lots of camp hosts, but they don’t seem to be very inclined to meet and greet (not usual for State parks tbh). Laundry a steal at $1.75/load, but one was overflowing at the drainpipe. Another reviewer mentioned the very narrow pads and soft sand - definitely be prepared, saw one camper get very stuck, but we all pitched in to help. State needs to inject some $$ into this park - it has so much potential. Jazzy pass gets you travel into and around NOLA from Algiers ferry for $3/day - bargain.

Excellent access to New Orleans - a short drive to Algiers where for a buck you can talk a walkers/bikers only ferry right to downtown and the French Quarter - much easier than dealing with trying to drive and park there. Electric and water hookups with a dump on site, as well as laundry for only $1.75 per wash load and $1.75 per dryer load - pretty inexpensive based on my experience. Also near th...

Also near the Mississippi River Trail to bike - 17 miles long on the West side and 26 on the East side (but you can only drive across the river, no bike path or lane crosses the Mississippi at an area near the trails).

We camped here. The campsites are in in the back of the park. Our site water bib leaked. I turned off the cutoff valve. The showers and restrooms didn't appear to get cleaned often and the certainly needed maintenance also.

The park fulfilled its purpose of letting us camp close to New Orleans but I don't think I would come here otherwise. There were several camp hosts in the park but I never saw them around the park so I'm not sure what their function is. It's obviously not for maintenance or cleaning.

Park is poorly kept and does not reflect that of other state parks in the Louisiana system. My perspective is the proximity to New Orleans is a factor which is very unfortunate Either way they can do better. It’s not a case of can’t it’s a case it won’t someone in the system is not doing their job. The pool is inoperable and will require extensive maintenance to get it back in order. I witness...

It’s not a case of can’t it’s a case it won’t someone in the system is not doing their job. The pool is inoperable and will require extensive maintenance to get it back in order. I witnessed two maintenance workers hiding in the back of the park in space 67 for two hours. They rolled in on their equipment and did absolutely nothing for those two hours. It was not a break it was skimming wages with zero accountability nor work performed. This park needs a new manager. Clearly urban work force woes. Sad
