French Quarter Rv Resort

Good location, but way over priced, got 3 days at Pelican RV, for less than 1 day here!

My husband and I spent the Christmas holiday here three weeks ago. This time we spent the extra money for a larger slot with a gazebo, which had a lighted ceiling fan hanging from it. The desk staff was much friendlier this time. We felt safe and had no issues. The amenities were unchanged since our last trip, about six months ago.
It might soften the look of the (fortress) walls if they planted some bushes around the perimeter. We will definitely be back again.

I admit I was a bit skeptical at first but after parking our class A in a nice wide paved spot with a great gazebo and grill… I relaxed a bit
Beautiful bathrooms and pool! Security was fabulous and everyone was helpful. I have to say it was pretty amazing and the location was the best!
Tall fences and constant security patrolling 24 hours. The park is a short walk to the French quarter and we never felt unsafe. The police station is nearby and you pass on your walk. I hear cabs were reasonable but we didn’t use.
I have read the noise complaints and I myself didn’t have an issue but my windows were closed and air condition on. I assume if you go to NO for mardi grasi noise isn’t a real concern… it’s not camping in the mountains people. We had no wifi issues but did travel to be «connected»
I have no complaints and will be back!

This place is top notch.
The RV spaces look like they could have time traveled from 1850 New Orleans.
The RV park is right off the highway and it has great security walls and a full time guy who is shears around. You are safe here.
There are clean bathrooms, a pool, a nice washroom and an easy to access lobby.
The price is a little high but because you are smack in the middle of everything it is quite worth it.

Walking distance or a short cab ride to everything in the French Quarter… We really enjoyed our stay here. Clean, private showers and bathrooms, pool, hot tub, complimentary coffee, water and ice. Staff was friendly and helpful.

If you want to stay within walking distance of the French Quarter, this is your only option. And it is a good one. The sites are owned by Saints fans, who come here for game day to party, and many sites have their own outdoor kitchens and other appointments as a result. Being owner-​operated, it is kept up to a high standard.
(as a result, however, during game days and days leading up, site prices may be higher or unavailable. Call for reservations).
The park is about two blocks (across Basin Street) to the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. We felt very secure, as you have to walk by the Police Station to get there. Nevertheless, the staff recommends a taxi if you come back late, late at night. This is New Orleans, folks.
Another reviewer whined about it being in a «depressed neighborhood». The «depressed neighborhood» is called NEW ORLEANS. It is a big city, and like any other big city, has its downsides. No, you won’t be roasting marshmallows by the campfire here, while Coyotes howl in the night. And yes, you will hear urban noises, including traffic. And yes, it is expensive. That is life in the Big City.
The staff is very friendly — the come to meet you at the gate and provide you with your check-​in materials. You then set up at your site and then go and check in. I find this very relaxing as opposed to other campgrounds where you wait in line to check in and then go to your site.
As for the «Abandoned Wal-​Mart» it is actually a grocery store that was flooded during Hurricane Katriina and is awaiting re-​development. Frankly, I would not take the word of someone who gets this major detail so horribly wrong.
New Orleans isn’t Smallville. You do have to have your wits about you. But the French Quarter RV park is secure, safe, nicely appointed (all the roadways and sites have brick pavers and immaculate lawns) and well maintained. I feel that the previous reviewer has libeled the park unnecessarily (anyone who has a problem with someone calling them «honey» has other issues to deal with).
This is our seventh visit. We would not keep coming back if it was a bad as the previous reviewer described!
This is New Orleans. You are supposed to have fun here! Get out of the park, see the Big Easy, and have a good time! There are so many restaurants and bars to visit — all within walking distance or a short streetcar ride away!

Buyer Beware. FQRV Resort is NOT located in the French Quarter. It’s in Tremé, a low rent district of NOLA. It’s situated adjacent to the I-​10 freeway and right in the middle of a decaying parking lot surrounded by several abandoned buildings, warehouses, a vagrant-​filled park and cemeteries covered by graffiti and uncontrolled vandalism. Walking anywhere is impossible, even with a pitbull in tow as the resident population of undesirables observes no boundaries and freely violates your personal space without hesitation or fear of consequence. The word «Resort» is used here much in the same way it is used to describe facilities in Costa Rica or the Dominican Republic, minus the fabulous food. In other words, unless you want to be shot at, robbed, raped, accosted in the streets, or end up in a bathtub with only one kidney, DO NOT leave the property unescorted especially at night.
They claim to maintain 24 hour on-​site management and security except the front gates are left wide open for anyone to walk or drive through between 6−11am every morning.
They also claim that the facility operates like a luxury hotel in the French Quarter, which might be true if luxury hotels are situated in filthy, dangerous neighborhoods populated by homeless people and drunks panhandling for money at all hours of the day and night and are operated by lying con artists.
Sites here are 30′ wide x 60′ deep which means no matter what type of RV you have, you have to unhook and separate your RV from your tow vehicle or trailer. Great fun in the rain — which occurs daily.
The clubhouse has a rec room with computers, fitness center and laundry rooms, ATM machine & 4 baths with showers. The courtyard has a pool, hot tub, and gazebo with bar facilities, but management doesn’t allow food or drink in the area. Since you are essentially a prisoner on the property due to the hazards of leaving it unescorted, these amenities are the only things separating you from the animal farm that surrounds the place.
The «RULES»
There are ZERO options for canceling your stay WITHOUT penalty. No matter what the cause, this place is taking some portion of your money.
There are no options for obtaining a refund for early departures. This is why they make you pay the balance IN FULL at check-​in. They have no intention of giving that money back. Not when you realize you are in a dangerous section of the city, or when you realize they never intended to provide internet service, or when you saw the spikes on the tops of the walls that surround the park, or when you noticed the smell, or complained about the vagrants or your safety, or realized they pushed guided «tours» because you could never leave the park unescorted, or when the freeway noise and the constant ambulance sirens kept you up all night, or when you understood that the entire downtown area is a dive that is not fit for human inhabitants. They are KEEPING that money. If you drive up to the gates and decide to turn around and leave (as you should) you FORFEIT in its ENTIRETY, the cost of your stay.
Read the website rules carefully… they are all strategically designed to separate you from your cash. Understand fully what it is you are accepting when you reserve here.
They claim quiet hours are from 11pm until 8am. Which is true, except for the constant ambulance and police sirens, the trucks slamming across the freeway, the barking dogs, and the drunks right outside the walls.
They claim Wi-​Fi is complimentary for all guests but doesn’t actually exist. Apparently they are not responsible for any technological glitches that may occur due to crappy weather, high volume usage, etc. Therefore, no refunds will be given if this service is suddenly unavailable. Translation: They DO NOT provide Wi-​Fi service, but know that no one in 2015 would consider booking anywhere that didn’t offer it, so they carefully word this section of their rules to provide an «out» clause, which isn’t really lying — except that it is.

Best location you can imagine for an RV park in New Orleans. Friendly staff, safe, clean. Walking distance to French Quarter & Dome. We stay here at least 2 times a year. If you want in for New Years, you have to book early.

Very nice, safe, clean. All the lady’s at the desk were very helpful and nice. There are some reviews that say different but I didn’t see it. Couldn’t be any nicer!

Great RV park… if you are deaf. Between the interstate noise, constant sirens from the nearby police station and the management allowing barking dogs to be left tied up outside from 7 am to 11 pm, we got very little sleep during our stay. We had two large dogs tied up next to us that barked constantly, and the manager said she couldn’t do anything. Also, there is not one tree in the park. The only thing this park has going for it is the location, but even that is sketchy. There are homeless people sleeping in the entrance to the abandoned building next to the park that you have to you walk past to get to the Quarter. They got an extra star for the cleanliness.

We were in town for the Rock n Roll Half Marathon in January and since we bought an RV this past fall it seemed fitting to take it. We along with another couple of friends stayed here for 2 nights. I read the reviews and I have stayed in NOLA before and knew you see lots of people on the streets and you do need to be alert and careful wherever you go but I thought the resort was very nice, clean, gated with 24 hr. security. The staff were very friendly and helpful when asking questions about a cab, takeout and places to eat. We did not have a bit of trouble at all. The cabs are very quick with reasonable rates (We had a party of 4 and on average it was $ 9 – 15, and they come to your RV door to pick you up. And we even split the bill. We walked during the day and for us walking just under a mile to get to the heart of the French quarter was fine. The facilities are very nice and in my opinion above average. I didn’t have a problem with the noise, you have to remember you are in the city. I am already planning another trip here.

A very nice place to stay and visit New Orleans. You are in walking distance to the French Quarter. It seems to be a safe walk, you go right by the Police station on the way. We walked to the Quarter and back every day with no issues. The park is well set up and the sites are level, and paved. The facilities are nice here. They even have very good free coffee in the office, a big plus.

I have to admit when we pulled up to this location, I started to freak out. To say the neighborhood is sketchy would be putting it nicely. However, this place is fantastic. Fully staffed with great people and really nice accommodations and only a short walk to the French Quarter.

Friendly professional staff. Great location. Workout room has cardio machines and a couple weight benches and a collection of dumbbells. Clean and open laundry room, private showers with good water pressure, nice hot tub and pool area. Safe and secure.

Wonderful place to stay! Lots if beautiful Class A coaches stay here so you are in great company. Short cab ride to the French Quarter and we felt very safe! And the staff were a treat!!! We will be back!

The good:
— The proximity to The Quarter is fantastic. The folks who complained about the walk through a sketchy neighborhood have obviously never noticed hat all of downtown New Orleans is sketchy. (Rule for NOLA– always make sure all your stuff is safely zipped away in protected pockets no matter what. And keep your wits about you.) it’s about a .7 mile walk to the bulk of a bourbon Street. Easy walk or pedicab back at night, or cheap cab if you’re not sure about the ‘hood at 2AM.
— Facilities are great. The hot tub is perfect after an 8 hour driving day. The pool is fantastically chilly and deep enough for adults to enjoy. Individual bathroom/​shower rooms let you clean up in peace with elbow room.
— Parking spaces are large, level, and paved. We were concerned about our first ever back-​in attempt, but the space and road were large enough to accommodate a wide margin of error.
— They seem to attract the higher-​end RV crowd, which keeps it tidy and friendly.
— It is gated, and the gates and fencing seem to do a respectable job of keeping wanderers out.
The not-​so-​good:
— I called ahead to confirm if there was anything I needed to know about the drive in, since I don’t know much about NOLa streets except that they are narrow and treacherous. The young girl at the desk couldn’t tell me anything about arriving other than they are right off the freeway. Well, turns out that my multiple mapping apps and paper map all sent me off an exit that an RV could not possibly navigate. (Don’t take the Poydras exit by the Superdome, exit 234b, no matter how many apps tell you to!!) We ended up gashing our RV on a street sign trying to get back to a path where we could make the turns safely.
— It ain’t cheap. Not a huge deal since it is so nice and so close, but be prepared.
— Being downtown NOLA, especially on a 95* day, you’ll get a whiff of something truly funky blowing by now and then if you’re sitting outside. Life in the big city.
All in all, a win. But navigate cautiously.

Unimpressed :(
Stay date 2−19−14
Nice private bathrooms, easy on/​off adjacent freeway and nice ice machine. But…
Walking distance to Burbon St? Only if you dont mind walking through a nasty crime and drug infested neighborhood. Take a taxi. And btw, it’s not actually in the french quarter as the name implies (Treme’). No night-​time security on site.
Good sized spaces and nice hookups but parked underneath a freeway overpass and giant lit up double billboard that flashes all night long. This place is nothing but a glorified parking lot that is downwind from partially abandoned housing projects and creepy cemetary.
Cold pool. Non-​functioning wifi. Non-​functioning guest computers (both of them). Only 3 washing machines for over 50 spaces. Broken tv in excersize room. Etc…
But the worst part was the unparaleled rudeness of the young ladies in the office. It seemed as if their job was to do as little as possible to be helpful, as if their butts were superglued to their chairs. After 3 reports about the wifi problem (assured that their IT dept was «on it») The manager made me wait to talk with her until she was off a clearly personal call on her cell phone. After stating that other than me, she has never had a complaint about anything (I see that’s not true based on other reviewers. See Cody W. for example), she offered me $ 8 off my nearly $ 100 stay. Yes, it was insulting.
Here’s the topper that prompted this 90% NEGATIVE REVIEW: as my son and I walked out of the office, she declared to her assistant loudly for us to hear «all that for just $ 8? Hmph, Californians…». I stopped in the doorway and looked back at her in disbelief but she would not look up at me.
I bit my toungue and left in amazement at her lack of professionalism and (as a business owner myself) felt sorry for the owners for being represented in this way.
If you enjoy spending nearly $ 100 for a glorified parking spot in a dangerous neighborhood then this is the place for you! As for me, I will take my business eslewhere…

This is my first review to write but the young girl at the front desk was so rude I felt like it was my responsibility. My first encounter with the staff was not good. They could not find my reservation, and the young girl was very combative and seemed to enjoy the sound of her own voice and would not let me talk or explain normal details like who I talked to, how to spell my name etc. I thought it was just a young inexperienced girl in customer service until I realized the «Management» was on board with her customer service too. The manager was within earshot of the front desk and would say things through the door as they would look for my reservation. Clearly customer service is not important to the manager either, better to debate than to be of service.
Enough about the negative, It was the nicest RV park we have ever stayed in.
Pros
–Super Clean place
–Best private shower restrooms
–Level parking spots
–Ice maker
–Close to French Quarter
Cons
–Located in Tremé, Not French Quarter
–Scary walk through abandon shopping center to get to French Quarter
–I think it is in bad taste to have razor spikes on top of wall around Rv park, makes you alarmed
–On one end of park is just under I-​10 traffic noise
–Staff: Rude, uncaring.

Frank and I went to NOLA for a work convention. For the first time in 25 years, we decided to go in our RV and we LOVED it. FQRV is clean, secure and CLOSE to the French Quarter and convention center. Really, it was close to everything. Whenever we plugged in the GPS of our toad, we were never further than 2 miles from all the spots we needed to hit.
This park is right off I-​10. Easy to get on and off whether I-​10 east or west.
We saw in house security nightly PLUS a lot of police presence inside the gates. Feeling secured was definitely not a problem here.
We were surprised at all the high end RV’s at the park. During our stay last week there were around 7 Prevosts. That’s about 10 million dollars worth of coaches.
This is New Orleans and this place is awesome… Enough said. We look forward to coming back whether visiting the Big Easy or as an overnight while on the I-​10 corridor.

Mit einem RV (Wohnmobil) eine Großstadt anzusteuern und einen geeigneten Übernachtungsplatz zu finden, ist meist ein mittelschweres Problem. Nicht jedoch in New Orleans (NO), hier existiert ein zentral gelegener, hochwertiger RV Resort.
Nur einen Steinwurf von der I-​10 entfernt (Exit 235 A) wirkt dieser RV Resort auf den ersten Blick wie ein großer Parkplatz. Schaut man jedoch genauer hin, zeigt sich, wie geschickt und auf welch hohem Niveau der Platz angelegt ist.
Es gibt 52 Sites. Alle sehr großzügig bemessen, auf jede Site passen die größten RV’s plus ein PKW. Mit unserem 24 ft RV wirkten wir auf der besonders großen Site 20 etwas verloren.
Die Plätze sind eben, nicht betoniert, sondern mit roten Steinen gepflastert, was ihnen einen Terrassenaspekt verleiht. Zwischen den meisten Plätzen kleine, gepflegte Grünflächen. Alle Plätze sind full hook-​up (Wasser/​Strom/​Sewer).
Im zentralen Hauptgebäude das Büro mit Empfang, gemütlicher Sitzecke und gar ein ATM-​Automat. Angeschlossen ein Laundry Room, ein Fitness-​Room und ein Recreation Room. Im Innenhof ein Salzwasser-​Pool und ein heißer, dampfender Jacuzzi. Hier befinden sich auch vier sehr großzügige und gepflegte Restrooms mit Dusche, WC, Waschbecken, Heizung, Ablagen — einfach Klasse! Am Pool eine Bar.
WiFi auf dem Gelände ist im Preis enthalten. Das ganze Gelände ist mit einer hohen Mauer umgeben und bei Dunkelheit wird das Eingangstor geschlossen. Das Büro ist 24 Stunden besetzt.
Und das Beste: von hier sind es knapp 300 m zum French Quarter und 500 m zur Bourbon Street. Die sollte man zu Fuß allerdings nur am Tage machen, nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit wird empfohlen, ein Taxi zu nehmen. «Es gäbe im Umfeld des Resorts zwei Blocks mit low-​income Bewohnern», wurde uns erklärt.
Das Ganze hat natürlich seinen Preis: $ 79 kostet der Stellplatz. Einen so hohen Preis haben wir bei unseren diversen USA-​Reisen noch nicht bezahlt.
Fazit: Ein RV-​Stellplatz im Herzen der Crecent City NO ist eine prima Sache und alternativlos — will man NO praktisch, ohne Zusatzaufwand, fast wie in zentraler Hotellage erobern. Da stört auch die Geräuschkulisse von der direkt hinterm Resort hoch auf Stelzen geführten I-​10 nicht allzu sehr.
Tipp: Hat man die «Old Sam Club”-Karte bekommt man 10% Discount. Eine temporäre Clubkarte bekommt man von RV-​Vermietern oder USA-​Reiseveranstaltern.

The best camping within blocks of Bourbon Street. 52 full hookups for RVs including choice of 20÷30÷50 amp service. French Quarter RV Resort has the pool, hot tub, gazebo, laundry, exercise room, 4 private baths with showers, laundry and recreation room. There is a bedroom suite on site.
I appreciated the gated resort with 24 hour security. My husband and I stayed here for Mardi Gras and took advantage of French Quarter RV Resort’s great location to enjoy every minute of our visit to New Orleans and The French Quarter.
