Bayou Segnette State Park
Westwego, LA • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Electric/water
We stayed here for one week and paid $17.61 per night with a senior discount. We had campsite 66. This is a pretty campground right in the swampy bayou which means mosquitoes. The park has a day use area, playgrounds, boat launches, and really nice cabins for rent floating right on the river. It was quiet and our neighbors were friendly. After 10pm, you need to use a difference entrance and have the code for the lock (Note: they changed the code during our stay so check with the office if you will be out late to make sure you have the correct code). We really liked that they have garbage cans spread throughout the campground. The campground boarders a levy with large doors. (Jan 2024)

Maxie’s Campground
Broussard, LA • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full Hookup
We only stayed at this campground for one night as were just passing though on our way to Texas. We paid $19 as RPI members and had campsite 64A. It’s a nice campground with laundry ($4 per load) and a bath house. There is a small stream/drainage ditch behind some of the sites. Jason, the owner, was very friendly and offered suggestions on things we could do in the area. There was a strong WiFi signal which we really appreciated. Our site had a large cement pad which was great. The only negative with this campground is the traffic noise from the highway but we just turned our fan on to drown out the noise and had no problem sleeping. (Jan. 2024)
