Need suggestions on campgrounds that are kid friendly
Posted on 3/4/14 at 9:53 pm
Posted on 3/4/14 at 9:53 pm
Just bought a class c. Looking for campgrounds within a 3 hr drive from New Orleans. We decided to get a camper and stop staying in hotels during weekend trips and vacations after having a really great experience at a Jellystone Campground (rented an on-site 5th wheel) in Tennessee this past summer. The unit if fully self-contained, so a full service campground is not a necessity.
My initial list of "maybe's" include:
Tchefuncte Family Campground
Land of Pines
Flint Creek in Wiggins, MS
Bogue Chitto Water Park outside McComb (have rented cabin here several times)
Rocky Springs Campground on the Natchez Trace
Tickfaw SP
Fairview-Riverside SP
I'd appreciate any information you can pass my way.
Thanks

It's > 3 hrs, but Wind Creek state park in Alabama is awesome. It's large, and there will be a ton of kids for yours to play with.

A little more than 3 hrs away, but Gulf State Park in Gulf shores, Al is pretty nice.

Bogue chitto state park
Only a couple years old
Not much in the area though if you're looking for things outside of the park

Clear Springs, Homochitto Forest. Playground/ swimming, many miles of hiking/biking trails, both primitive and hookup sites. Be careful walking the trails after mississippi turkey season starts (March 15th). Public hunting brings out the worst kind of hunter.

Try out Indidan Creek near alexandria...I grew up in the area and have relatives with kids who camp there during the summers...there are 3or 4 different beaches and typically a good number of kids there on any weekend...unfortunately, there are not a lot of organized events for kids or adults...gotta entertain yourself...
FWIW, any decent campground is gonna have folks there who know one another, as campers are a very friendly bunch and do tend to visit amongst themselves...

You could do the beach thing at Fort Pickens, but it's probably a little beyond the 3 hr range.

Look for jellystone's. They are all family oriented and have clean facilities. All are different but they have things like outdoor movies, snack bars, pools, playgrounds, etc.
We stayed at a few and the kids loved it. I don't know if there's any close to you but there most probably are. They're everywhere.

I am sorry that I did not read any previous posts. However, if you are only talking about 3 hours from NO, then you should go to Gulf Islands National Seashore Pensacola section at Fort Pickens, Pensacola Beach. It is easily the best beach within 1000 miles of New Orleans. The campground woods have suffered to some degree from salt water intrusion into the island marshland/pineland as a result of the last several hurricanes. However, it is still the best bang for the buck for camper/RVrs on the Gulf Coast. Picture lots of beautiful beach with no one else around.
