Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating I spent 6 months here, and loved it! Very convenient, right off I10, within half hour of New Orleans, 45 minutes to French Quarter. Gorgeous scenery, clean park, very friendly folks. I was immediately offered coupons to local restaurants on check in, great information about the area. was extremely helpful any time I had an issue. Will definately return here when I get back to the area. 2 minor suggestions, extend laundry room hours (I work nights so sometimes hard to get there in time) and add a fenced off- leash area for pets. Never had a moment of worry while there, even left my trailer for a 3 week trip home. They kept an eye on everything for me. It was clean and quiet, just what I needed after a hard nights work. Close enough to everything I wanted to see/do.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating Pros
Beautiful park, fairly clean and quiet. Beautiful lake with fishing. Most staff is friendly.
Cons: Half of park is paved or has gravel. Owner puts the expensive and nice looking RVs on the right side. Owner is very concerned about RV appearance.
Long term stay and older not so fancy campers are on the left. Left side of park flooded in ankle deep water 70% of time. Constant mud and site is not usable to set up table due to flooding and mud. Owner refuses to address the issue. Old washers, often broken despite sign saying new washers. Only three working washers for a huge park. Advertises free WIFI but never works. Bathrooms, showers need to be renovated.
Owner gets rude and defensive when a poor review is posted.
This park could be fantastic, has great potential. Would have given 4 stars but owner needs to own up to issues just as he requires all guests to take care of their property. It is worth a stay, as long as you are on the right side of RV park.

Needless to say we left the next day w, we had planed on 3 days

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating Nice campground. Staff was friendly and had good recommendations for the local area. Only (minor) complaint is that the men's bathroom door lock/latch didn't allow the door to be closed completely. The women's bathroom door lock/latch had the exact opposite issue. I had to help my wife operate the latch because the door wouldn't open properly and I watched others jiggle the door in order to get it open. My wife actually got stuck inside the restroom and had to call me to open the door for her. Not a big deal, and really the only minor issue we had during our stay. We would stay here again (even if the door locks/latches didn't get fixed).

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating Nice location. Little or no Internet. Park administration will tell you it is slow and doesn't work well. The login documentation states users will be charged $10 for each call to provider so this must have happened enough to be a problem. Also states may not work with IPad or Kindle. No cable although a selection of channels is available via antenna. Large park with one restroom/bathhouse that is not convienent to many sites. Restrooms clean with 2 shower stalls. Laundry has 4 washers & 4 dryers - closes at 6pm or 4:30 if not in use when the office closes. Quiet park. Good for dogs. Lots of room to walk.

Appeal Rating Do not stop here! The sights were under water or nearly so. There had been rain two days before. You were more or less standing in the water to plug your electrical in. No dry place to step to the ground from your camper. Water ran into the septic connection when I unhooked. The office is not open Saturday afternoon or Sunday. Rather a hindrance for and interstate campsite. We of course were arriving on a Sunday.
I did not go into the restrooms so I make no comment.
We had planned on staying two days but left Monday morning.

I have been in and through 14 states this past year, some for a day or two, some for a week or so and others for months. If you are traveling through Lousiana I would highly recommend Pine Crest, it's one of the best I stayed in this year. The owners/staff were great, I give them 5 stars and that's not often I do for an RV park, most are lacking especially when it comes to service, greeting you with a smile, appreciation you chose to stay with them and making sure you get set up with no problems. I look forward to my next trip there.

Appeal Rating Not a real great place, but do'able if you need to overnight. Staff wasn't real pleasant on phone. They aren't to nice about folks checking in after 10pm due to quiet hours. The sites are ok. Our site was not mowed and had high grass and weeds. There is no camp store and the playground consists of a rusted slide and a swing set. I wouldn't stay here again.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating The resort is easy to find. Upon check-in I was greeted by a very friendly staff. They asked what kind of rig I had and whether I showered in the trailer. I told them I used the bathhouse and they promptly gave me a pull through right by the bathhouse. When asked what brought me to New Orleans, I said my wife and I were meeting a friend for dinner at a chain restaurant.
They recommended that we meet our friend at Copeland's and partake of some New Orleans's cooking. A great big thanks for the restaurant recommendation.
The park is well maintained and quiet. Would I stay here again? A big Yes!

Appeal Rating We were reluctant to commit to a minimum 3 night stay just because it was Mardi Gras. But we did anyway. The 50 amp service was out so hooked up to 30amp, not hot yet so not a problem. I had to hunt for the sewer connection because the grass was grown over. It's very apparent that a full-timer had just left as we had a rather large area void of any grass, just mud. our 20 ft power pole was leaning at 15 degree slant which I think I know why. Because our trailer was perfectly level when we set up, but 3 days later it was very noticeably leaning . ie.. it was sinking. To make things worse, we paid $70 a night + tax. When comparing our required 3 night stay in relation to their $500 monthly rent, we paid for 15 nights stay, and did not leave behind the unsightly mess the apparent fulltimers around us leave behind. Also, Good Sam and Pine Crest do not advertise as an RV & mobile home park "BUT THEY ARE". Mobiles do not bother me, RVs do not bother me, it's the junk laying around that DO bother me. Ever notice the high fencing put up facing nearby homes, it's because homeowners don't want to look at the mess either. RV parks should be inviting & promote a sense of want to be here. They should never be a permanent residence, and rules to foster a positive and appealing appearance must be paramount. Good Sam must seriously reevaluate this business before giving it such high ratings "9-9 1/2-9 1/2". And GS should pay particular attention to truth in advertising & transparency.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating Our stay was from February 22 to February 27, 2017. We have a 35 foot motorhome with a towed car. Our site did not have a patio. We had to place the chairs on the turf that was full of water. This was the case of several sites. We were told to wait two days for the grass to dry, but after three days the soil was still soaked.
The aisles are very narrow to run with a good size RV.
Reception, toilets and showers are very clean. The laundry room is of good size and clean.

Appeal Rating We stayed here for nearly a month and loved the location. Easy access to interstate, French Quarter and the Gulf Coast. Slidell is a large suburb of NO and there's plenty of shopping and restaurants available. Our site was concrete with patio and picnic table. Close to playground and bathrooms but we had no reason to use either. Did use the laundry to wash linens and towels and it was very clean, just not a lot of washers and dryers so there were times when you'd have to wait on a machine. Staff was friendly and helpful and offered several ideas about what to see and where to eat in New Orleans.
The negative reviews regarding water after rainfall was a concern before we came but we had rain quite a bit during our stay and, yes...there will be puddles but as long as you're on a concrete pad you should be okay. After all, it is Louisiana which is mostly a swamp to begin with, but we never had an issue with the water puddles. Would recommend this to anyone looking for an RV site close to New Orleans.

Appeal Rating For the rate (goodsam $41.59) I expected ALOT more. No rates are published on their website, not clear over the phone either. So I am glad to tell you that I paid $41.59 for one night tax included, and I was told that is with my goodsam discount.
Road and sites are good as long as it does not rain. We were here for 2 nights and it rained the second day while we were in New Orleans...we came home to many puddles around our RV. We did not use any of the amenities, so I cannot comment on them. Roads are paved and relatively in good shape. There are trash can every where and easily accessed dumpsters. This is a nice park, just disappointed in the rate.
Best advice is request a concrete pad.

Appeal Rating We came in on Sunday and because they were not open we had to stay at another park for the night. Monday morning we stopped by and they were booked except for a couple of spots. We were just happy to get a spot at the park for a week. Staff was very helpful. They even gave us coupons and recommended places to visit. Laundry room was clean.
No complaints, great park.

Appeal Rating Very disappointing! We arrived on Saturday and the office was closed. An envelope was left for campers stating the rate and that Good Sam discounts would not be offered unless verified by office personnel - of course the office was closed. Without further information we had no toilet entry code or internet access information. The camping sites themselves are of very poor quality. For example, the water pipe at our site was bent over nearly touching the ground. Seemed to us that the Good Sam rating personnel either gave the scores based on not visiting or had some conflict on interest situation. Certainly not worth the "9" ratings shown in the guide.

Appeal Rating I should have known when we arrived - Office manager nasty because it was lunch time. other office lady was nice - showed us a few sights and we picked an end one easy to walk the dogs . The neighbor came over and said it floods bad so I went and requested a move - told only in a torrential down poor so we stayed - a rain storm and we were parked in a lake. I went back and asked to move to one of the cement pad sights or a high sight on the lake but was told they were taken for overnighters. They all were empty the entire time. asked three time to move - this place sucks unless your there a day or two. water was ankle deep to get to the jeep. Lucky I got out without stuck. Been full time a long time and never wrote a bad review. Lots of other UPSET customers while we there . POOR MANAGEMENT MAKES A POOR PARK

Appeal Rating We stayed here on our way to Texas, we where here for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay. Facility was clean and nice and the staff where very helpful and friendly. The park was nice and clean. Did not use the bath facilities so can rate them did look inside a seemed to be very clean. Easy to get in and out of and a lot better than most of the near by other parks. Nice hook ups and the fact that they offer free Cable/Satellite channels and WIFI was a bonus. WIFI worked good for us. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars was that the office/store is closed at 12:00 on Sat. and closed on Sunday. Found this a little odd for a nice park that is that busy.

The facilities are well maintained, the office had a very attractive sitting area, the laundry is clean, and the restroom is clean and secured with a combination lock. The owner and staff are friendly and helpful. The drive on I-10 to New Orleans and back was interesting. ( Be prepared to drive 80mph or be run over. When in Rome, do as the Roman's do. ) After much research, I found this to be the best campground in the area for the price and location.
