RV camping near LaPlace, Louisiana
LaPlace sits on the east bank of the Mississippi River in St. John the Baptist Parish, roughly 30 miles west of New Orleans along Interstate 10. The town works well as an RV base for travelers who want quick access to the French Quarter, the River Road plantations, and the swamps of the Maurepas and Pontchartrain basins without paying central New Orleans rates or navigating narrow city streets.
Options close to town include Laplace Trailer- RV Park for straightforward hookups near I-10, and Poche Plantation RV Resort Cottage along the historic River Road corridor. Old River RV Park provides another nearby full-hookup option along the levee.
For a state-park experience, Tickfaw State Park sits in Livingston Parish about an hour north and offers wooded RV sites near the Tickfaw River. The New Orleans KOA Holiday, closer to the city, is the nearest major franchise campground for renters who want resort-style amenities within a short drive of LaPlace.
Things to do around LaPlace
Swamp tours launch from nearby docks on the Manchac and Maurepas waterways, with alligator sightings common from spring through early fall. The River Road between LaPlace and Baton Rouge passes several antebellum plantation sites, including Whitney, Laura, and Oak Alley, all reachable on day trips from local campgrounds.
New Orleans is a straight shot east on I-10 for the French Quarter, City Park, and the National WWII Museum. Guests staying at the New Orleans KOA Holiday can combine city outings with campground amenities.
Tickfaw State Park adds hiking on boardwalks over the cypress-tupelo swamp, canoeing on the Tickfaw River, and a seasonal water playground, which gives kids a break from city sightseeing.

Spring and fall are the most comfortable windows for RV travel in the LaPlace area. Late February to April and October to November offer the most agreeable weather, with mild temperatures, lower humidity, and less frequent rainfall, though spring afternoons can bring thunderstorms and the tail of festival season in New Orleans.
Summer is hot, humid, and stormy, with heat indexes routinely above 100°F. It also overlaps Atlantic hurricane season, and high water on the Tickfaw River can flood camping areas and close trails at the nearest state park. Renters traveling June through November should monitor National Hurricane Center advisories and confirm park status before arrival.
Winter is mild by North American standards, with occasional freezes. Campgrounds around LaPlace generally stay open year-round, making the shoulder months a low-crowd option for Mardi Gras or holiday trips into the city.
How to book campgrounds near LaPlace
Private parks in the LaPlace area, including Laplace Trailer- RV Park, Old River RV Park, and Poche Plantation RV Resort Cottage, take reservations directly by phone or through their own websites. The New Orleans KOA Holiday books through the KOA reservation system and fills quickly around Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, French Quarter Fest, and major Saints home games.
Reservations at Tickfaw State Park must be made at least 48 hours in advance and can be booked up to 13 months to the day ahead, online or by calling 1-833-609-0686. Stays within the 48-hour window can be arranged by contacting the park directly. Weekends across the region should be locked in several weeks out during spring and fall.
What to expect on the ground
Terrain around LaPlace is flat, low, and often within a few feet of sea level, so campgrounds sit near levees, canals, or wooded flats. Sites at private parks tend to be pull-through with full hookups; Tickfaw offers thirty campsites with water and electricity, fire ring and picnic table for RV owners, typically back-in.
Expect mosquitoes and biting flies from late spring through fall, and pack repellent. Alligators are present in nearly every waterway in the region, so visitors should keep their distance and never feed them, which is prohibited by state law.
Cell service is reliable near the I-10 corridor and thinner in the swamp parks north of Lake Pontchartrain. Grocery, fuel, and RV supplies are easy to find in LaPlace itself before heading to more remote sites.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near LaPlace, LA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in LaPlace, LA?
RV rental in LaPlace is affordable for a New Orleans gateway destination. Travel trailers in the LaPlace area typically range from about $90 to $150 per night, while motorhomes generally run $175 to $250 per night, and many hosts offer weekly and monthly discounts. To find a cheap RV rental in LaPlace, book during shoulder months like late February, March, or early November when demand cools. Filtering by travel trailer instead of a Class A motorhome can lower your nightly rate while still sleeping the whole family comfortably. Compare live pricing and host inclusions directly on RVezy before you book.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=LaPlace%2C%20LouisianaWhat kind of driver's license do I need to rent an RV in LaPlace?
Your regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in LaPlace. Louisiana allows a standard Class E license (or the equivalent from your home state or country) to operate motorhomes and tow travel trailers under 26,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), which covers virtually every RV on RVezy. Approved drivers on RVezy are generally required to be at least 25 years old, and your ID is verified through the platform during booking, so there is no extra DMV paperwork. Visiting from outside the US? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your home license and you are set to roll out toward the French Quarter, just 30 miles southeast.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs the RV rental in LaPlace covered if something goes wrong?
Yes, you can book with confidence. Every RV rental in LaPlace booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance. The protection plan covers most damage to the vehicle, and you choose your level of coverage during the booking process (not the host), so you can pick what feels right for your trip. Coverage is valid throughout your trip whether you are driving I-10 toward New Orleans or parked alongside Lake Pontchartrain. Review your coverage options at checkout, take photos of the RV at pickup, and save the roadside assistance number to your phone before you leave the driveway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my LaPlace RV trip?
Cancelling is straightforward. RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not the host), and there is a money-back grace period right after booking so you can lock in your dates with confidence. After that window, your refund depends on how far out your trip is and the specific policy applied at booking. If a host needs to cancel, RVezy helps you secure a refund or rebooking credit so your trip is protected. You do not need to dig through individual listings looking for a policy. Reach out to RVezy support and they will walk you through your options, which is one reason first-time renters feel comfortable booking early to lock in the best RVs.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV rental in LaPlace?
Absolutely, and you've got plenty of options. Many hosts offer pet-friendly RV rentals in LaPlace, and you can filter listings by the Pet-Friendly tag to see them instantly. Once you're rolling, dogs are welcome at most area campgrounds, including Fontainebleau State Park on Lake Pontchartrain's north shore, where pets are allowed on leash throughout the campground and along the Tammany Trace trail. The St. John the Baptist Parish area also has open green spaces like West Bank Bergeron Park where leashed pups can stretch their legs. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fee and ask about cleaning expectations so checkout is breezy.
lastateparks.com/parks-trails/fontainebleau-state-parkCan the RV be delivered to my campground or address in LaPlace?
Yes, RV delivery in LaPlace is one of the most popular options on the platform, especially for first-timers. Many local hosts will tow or drive the rig directly to your campsite at places like Fontainebleau State Park, Sun Outdoors New Orleans North Shore in Slidell, or even a private driveway, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. That means no backing into a tight site and no figuring out the sewer hose on your own. Filter listings by Delivery to see hosts who offer it, and message them about distance fees. It is the easiest way to start a LaPlace RV trip stress-free.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=LaPlace%2C%20LouisianaHow far can I drive from LaPlace on my RV trip?
Plenty far, and the surrounding region is packed with bucket-list stops. From LaPlace you are about 30 miles from the French Quarter in New Orleans, 60 miles from Baton Rouge, around 120 miles to Lafayette's Cajun country, roughly 150 miles to Gulf Shores, Alabama, and about 170 miles to Natchez, Mississippi for an unforgettable Mississippi River road trip from LaPlace. Mileage policies are set by individual hosts, so check the listing and look for an RV rental with unlimited mileage if you are planning a longer loop. Message the host before booking and share your route. Many will add extra miles to your package at a discounted rate when they know your plan in advance.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=LaPlace%2C%20LouisianaWhat are the best campgrounds near LaPlace for RV camping?
You are spoiled for choice. Some of the best campgrounds near LaPlace include Fontainebleau State Park in Mandeville (about 35 miles north, with Lake Pontchartrain beach access and Spanish moss-draped oaks), Fairview-Riverside State Park in Madisonville along the Tchefuncte River, Sun Outdoors New Orleans North Shore in Slidell, Poche Plantation RV Resort in Convent, and Bayou Segnette State Park across the river in Westwego with full-hookup sites. Tickfaw State Park about 30 miles up I-12 is another excellent option for a quieter swamp-side stay. State parks fill up fast for festival weekends and Mardi Gras, so reserve as soon as your dates are set.
lastateparks.com/parks-trails/fontainebleau-state-parkWhen is the best time of year to plan an RV trip from LaPlace?
The sweet spot for RV camping in LaPlace is February through May and again in October and November, when daytime highs sit in the comfortable 65 to 80 degree Fahrenheit range and humidity is at its most manageable. Summer (June through September) brings highs near 91 degrees, heavy afternoon thunderstorms, and Atlantic hurricane season, so plan early-morning drives and choose full hookups with reliable air conditioning. Winters are short and mild with January highs around 63 degrees and very few crowds, which makes it a great cheap RV rental window. Time your trip to Mardi Gras (February or early March) or Jazz Fest (late April through early May) for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
weather.gov/lix/I have never driven an RV before. Will I be okay renting one in LaPlace?
You will be just fine, and you are in great company. First time renting an RV is the norm for most LaPlace bookings, and every RVezy host provides a hands-on orientation at pickup walking you through driving, leveling, water, propane, and the toilet system, which is the part everyone secretly worries about. If you would rather skip the driving altogether on your first trip, filter for hosts who offer delivery and setup so the RV is waiting for you fully ready at the campground. The flat terrain around St. John the Baptist Parish and the wide lanes on I-10 and I-55 make LaPlace one of the easier Louisiana places to ease into RV driving.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=LaPlace%2C%20LouisianaWhat if I get a flat tire or something breaks down on my trip?
Take a breath: 24/7 roadside assistance is included with every RVezy booking, so help is one phone call away whether you are outside LaPlace on Airline Highway or 100 miles up the road in Natchez. Coverage typically includes flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing for mechanical issues. Your host is also your direct contact for anything quirky about the specific rig, like a finicky awning or generator. Save both the roadside number and the host's phone in your contacts before pickup. Most issues are resolved quickly so you can get back to crawfish boils and bayou sunsets.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my LaPlace RV rental into other states or across the border?
Yes, an RV road trip from LaPlace into other states is one of the best parts of renting here. Most hosts welcome trips into Mississippi (Gulf Coast beaches at Bay St. Louis are just 65 miles away), Alabama, Texas, and Florida, with coverage that applies throughout the United States. Cross-border travel into Canada may be permitted depending on the host and your coverage, so confirm in advance through messaging. Travel into Mexico is not allowed on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend across that border. A 7 to 10 day loop from LaPlace through New Orleans, Gulf Shores, and Pensacola is a classic Southern coastal route.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on a LaPlace RV trip?
Louisiana has some of the lowest gas prices in the country, which is great news for your fuel budget. Expect roughly 8 to 10 miles per gallon for a Class A motorhome, 10 to 14 mpg for a Class C, 18 to 22 mpg for a Class B campervan, and similar to your tow vehicle's normal mileage for travel trailers. For a typical 300-mile loop from LaPlace through New Orleans and back via the North Shore, plan on roughly $90 to $130 in fuel for a motorhome. Diesel pumps with high-clearance lanes are easy to find at Pilot and Love's stops along I-10 and I-55. Pro tip: fuel up before entering New Orleans proper, where prices climb noticeably.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near LaPlace?
For state parks like Fontainebleau, Fairview-Riverside, and Tickfaw, reserve 3 to 6 months ahead, especially for spring weekends, Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, and any holiday. Louisiana State Parks uses the Reserve America powered Go Outdoors Louisiana system, which opens reservations up to 13 months in advance. Private parks like LaPlace Trailer & RV Park, Poche Plantation, and Sun Outdoors New Orleans North Shore are usually bookable 1 to 3 months ahead, though festival weekends sell out faster. Pro tip: if a state park is full, check midweek availability or look 30 miles up I-12 to Tickfaw State Park, which often has openings when the lakeside parks are booked solid.
lastateparks.com/campingWhat are driving conditions like around LaPlace?
The good news: terrain around LaPlace is flat, so no white-knuckle mountain passes. The main routes (I-10, I-55, and US-61 Airline Highway) are wide and RV-friendly. A few things to know: the I-10 Bonnet Carre Spillway bridge sits just east of town and can be windy, so grip the wheel firmly in a tall rig. Summer brings sudden thunderstorms that drop visibility fast, so pull off at a safe exit and wait it out. Avoid driving an RV directly into the French Quarter; instead, park at a North Shore campground or in Metairie and rideshare in. Download a truck-routing GPS app to avoid the few low railroad bridges on side roads.
511la.org/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near LaPlace?
Campgrounds around LaPlace are well-equipped for a smooth RV camping experience. Most private parks like LaPlace Trailer & RV Park and Sun Outdoors New Orleans North Shore offer full hookups (20/30/50 amp electric, city water, and sewer at each site), free Wi-Fi, laundry, hot showers, and pet areas. Louisiana State Parks like Fontainebleau and Fairview-Riverside provide water and electric at most sites with a centralized dump station for sewer. Potable water fill stations and dump stations are easy to find along I-10 and at most parish parks. Pro tip: top off freshwater and dump tanks before heading deeper into the Maurepas Swamp area, where amenities thin out quickly.
lastateparks.com/parks-trails/fairview-riverside-state-parkWhat's actually inside a typical RV rental in LaPlace?
More creature comforts than you'd guess. A typical motorhome rental LaPlace listing includes a real bed (often a queen) plus convertible dinette and sofa sleepers, a working kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with toilet and shower, roof-mounted air conditioning (a must for Louisiana humidity), a furnace, and seatbelt-equipped seating for travel. Many also include a generator, outdoor speakers, awning, and Wi-Fi or a TV. Smaller campervan rental LaPlace options trade some of that space for nimble driving and easy parking near the French Quarter outskirts. Pro tip: check the listing photos and amenities list carefully, and message the host to confirm anything specific (like a kid-friendly bunk) before you book.
energy.gov/energysaver/recreational-vehiclesWhat add-ons and options can I get with my LaPlace RV rental?
Quite a lot, and they make a family RV trip LaPlace dramatically easier. Popular host-offered add-ons include linens and towel packages ($25 to $75), kitchen kits with pots, pans, and dishes, camp chairs and outdoor tables, bike racks, generators, propane refills, portable grills, and Starlink Wi-Fi. Delivery and setup is a favorite extra for guests staying at Fontainebleau or Fairview-Riverside. Mileage policies vary by host, with many offering 100 to 150 free miles per night and unlimited mileage available on select rigs. Pickup and dropoff is usually at the host's home in the greater LaPlace, Reserve, or Metairie area. Pro tip: bundle add-ons when you book to lock in better pricing.
travelsouthusa.com/louisianaHow does payment and the security deposit work when I rent an RV in LaPlace?
Payment is simple and secure through RVezy's platform. You pay your trip total by credit or debit card at booking, and your funds are held until after pickup. A refundable security deposit is placed on hold separately from your booking payment before your trip starts, with the amount set by the listing. As long as you return the rig in the same condition with the agreed fuel and tank levels, the hold is released after checkout. To avoid any issues, do a quick photo walk-around at pickup and dropoff with your host. Notify your bank you will have a temporary hold, especially if you are traveling from outside Louisiana.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksHow do I handle the heat and summer storms on a LaPlace RV trip?
Louisiana summers are hot and humid (August highs near 91 degrees Fahrenheit with overnight lows around 75), but RVs are built for it. Choose a rental with at least one rooftop air conditioner, and ideally two for Class A or larger Class C rigs, and stay at full-hookup parks like Sun Outdoors New Orleans North Shore where 50 amp service powers everything at once. Drive early in the morning to avoid afternoon thunderstorms, which fire up almost daily from June through September. Keep an eye on the National Hurricane Center forecast during peak hurricane season (August to October). Shoulder season (March, April, October, November) gives you the warm-weather payoff without the peak heat.
