Top Hosts near LA, United States
Derek and his Cruisin' Claudette Winnebago were amazing hosts for two adult couples for a long weekend. Lots of unbelievable amenities such as zero gravity camping chairs are already onboard. The RV drives well. It’s also a conversation starter like no other.

How to get to Bayou Segnette State Park
The park sits just off the Westbank Expressway in Westwego, about 15 minutes from downtown New Orleans via the Crescent City Connection or the Huey P. Long Bridge. Baton Rouge is roughly 80 miles and about 90 minutes west via I-10, and Lafayette is about 2.5 hours west. RV drivers should note the Huey P. Long Bridge has narrow lanes and tall approaches that can feel tight in a high-profile rig, so many travelers prefer the wider Crescent City Connection on US 90 Business. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is about 20 minutes away and is the most convenient option for fly-and-rent RV trips.
