Camping near Buras, Louisiana
Buras sits on the lower Mississippi River delta in Plaquemines Parish, roughly 60 miles south of New Orleans along LA Highway 23. The area is a narrow strip of land between the river and coastal marsh, known for saltwater fishing, waterfowl hunting, and access to Venice at the end of the road. RV travelers use Buras as a base for delta fishing trips and as a stopover between New Orleans and the Gulf.
Campground options in and around Buras lean toward small, working RV parks that cater to anglers and energy-sector crews rather than large resort properties. River Oaks West RV Park, Island House RV Park, and Sarah's Seaside RV Oasis offer full-hookup setups along Highway 23, generally within easy reach of marinas and boat launches.
For a state-park experience, Grand Isle State Park lies about two hours west and offers Gulf beach access along with developed campsites and a dump station. The Delacroix Lodge sits east of the Mississippi in the St. Bernard marsh, providing a quieter alternative for anglers targeting redfish.
Things to do around Buras
Fishing drives most trips to Buras. Hurricanes strike Louisiana an average of once every three years, but between storms, charter boats out of Venice and Empire target redfish, speckled trout, tuna, and marlin in the passes and offshore rigs. Inshore, marsh routes produce year-round action for kayak and skiff anglers, and boat launches are common along Highway 23.
Grand Isle, about two hours west by road, is worth a day trip. The state park pier extends into the Gulf and includes a fish-cleaning station, and the barrier island is a well-known stop on the spring migration flyway for birders.
Other stops include Fort Jackson, a 19th-century masonry fort near Buras, the Mississippi River road down to Venice, and day trips north to the French Quarter and Jean Lafitte National Historical Park.

Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons for RV camping in the Buras area. March through May brings warm days, lower humidity than summer, and strong inshore fishing. Fall, from late September into November, cools off after hurricane season winds down and delivers prime redfish action in the marsh.
Summer is hot, humid, and stormy. Afternoon thunderstorms are routine, and heat indexes frequently exceed 100°F. This is also peak Atlantic hurricane season, which runs June through November. Hurricanes strike Louisiana an average of once every three years, so travelers should track NHC advisories through the season and be ready to move inland.
Winters are mild. Frosts are occasional and brief, and most Plaquemines Parish RV parks operate year-round. Grand Isle State Park is generally open year-round, though beach conditions and campsite availability can shift after tropical storms.
How to book a campsite
Private RV parks near Buras, including River Oaks West RV Park, Island House RV Park, and Sarah's Seaside RV Oasis, generally take reservations by phone or through their websites. Availability tightens during fishing tournaments and energy-project surges, so booking a few weeks ahead is wise. The Delacroix Lodge, east of the river in St. Bernard Parish, books directly with the lodge.
Grand Isle State Park uses the Louisiana State Parks central reservation system. Sites can be booked online or by phone up to 13 months in advance, and reservations must be made at least 48 hours prior to arrival. A two-night minimum applies for stays that include a Friday or Saturday. Walk-in and drive-up campers are welcome when sites remain open.
What to expect on the ground
Buras is rural. Expect a two-lane highway along the river levee, a scattering of grocery stores, seafood markets, and marinas, and long stretches of marsh. Cell coverage is generally decent along Highway 23 but drops off in the outer marsh and near Venice. Fuel is available in Buras and Empire; the closest full-service hospitals are in Belle Chasse and New Orleans.
Most private parks in the area offer full hookups, laundry, and pull-through sites geared to longer stays. Grand Isle State Park provides pull-through sites with electric and water hook-ups and a central dump station near the main campground. Bring insect repellent, sun protection, and a plan for storm awareness during hurricane season.
