Description

This is the sunniest site in Fontainebleau State Park and is conveniently located in the heart of the park. Though this site offers the least seclusion, it is located in close proximity to other glamping sites, making it perfect for groups who wish to reserve multiple sites at once. It is also a great site for campers traveling with kids, as it features plenty of open grassy space for running and playing lawn games. Its proximity to the Splash Pad cannot be beaten!

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.

The site is equipped with a pre-set sturdy canvas tent on its own wooden deck platform. The tent is furnished with a queen-size memory foam mattress, side tables, and a propane tent heater. 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.

Other Things to Note:
Be sure to bring your own food, firewood, and bedding. There are no electricity or water hookups available at your this site. Anything you pack in, you must pack out. This is "leave no trace" camping. All trash MUST be deposited in a designated receptacle at the end of your stay. If you do not follow this rule, you will be charged a cleaning fee. Have a wonderful stay!
