Lakefront Glamping Site on Lake Pontchartrain for a Nature Escape near New Orleans

Lakefront park with beach and trails

This camp site offers great seclusion near a beautiful pond on the eastern side of the park. This is the shadiest area in the park, with a beautiful canopy of trees and a lovely view of the pond. It's perfect for smaller groups or a nice getaway for you and your loved ones!

Located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain only one hour from New Orleans, Fontainebleau State Park was once the site of a sugar cane plantation. Today, Fontainebleau State Park offers 2800 acres for campers to enjoy and explore. Fontainebleau is surrounded by water on 3 sides and provides countless options for activities, including fishing, boating, swimming and sunbathing on the sandy beach of Lake Pontchartrain. There are nature trails to hike and explore - keep your eyes open for the many different types of birds who make their homes in the park! There is an old railroad track that has been converted into the Tammany Trace by the Rails to Trails program, which serves as an excellent path for biking, walking or inline skating.

This campsite is equipped with a pre-set sturdy canvas tent on it's own wooden deck platform. The tent is furnished with a queen-size memory foam mattress and side tables. A picnic table, fire pit with a grill, a solar shower, and portable camp loo are also provided, and campers are able to use the park's restroom facilities as well. There is an additional pop up tent provided for extra guests, but you will have to bring your own air mattresses/sleeping pads for this tent.

This site does require about a 10 minute walk to access. We recommend bringing a wagon or something similar to help bring your supplies to the tent. No mosquito netting available

While the host does not charge a cleaning fee, we do expect campsites to be left how they were found. After you check out, take everything you brought in, and be sure to leave your trash at the designated location.

If a host submits an incident report after your stay that details evidence of trash or damage to the campsite or the host's property, the host reserves the right to charge a minimum cleaning fee of $50. Just make sure to follow the Camper Manual posted at your campsite and you'll be set!
