Forming part of the New Orleans metropolitan area, Metairie is a lively residential and commercial area on the doorstep of its more famous, historical neighbor. It’s home to 1920's-era homes and designer boutiques in the community of Old Metairie, as well as sprawling shopping malls in the newer suburban district.

Metairie’s proximity to New Orleans and a great selection of campgrounds makes it an ideal place to rent an RV while exploring southern Louisiana. It’s within easy access of wildlife-filled wetlands and cultural museums, as well as the forested reserves of Mississippi.

Discover Metairie


The Great Outdoors

Book a motorhome rental in Metairie and drive south to the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve in Marrero, which protects both natural and cultural resources in Louisiana's Mississippi River Delta region. It sprawls along the eastern shores of Lake Cataouatche and Lake Salvador, with canoe trails that lead through the bottomland hardwood forests, marshes, and swamps. Stop in at the visitor center to learn about the local ecology, then stretch your legs along one of the preserve’s scenic trails to get up close to the resident alligators.

Alternatively, drive east to the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge, which sprawls across 23,000 acres of fresh and brackish marsh on the edge of New Orleans. It’s a popular birdwatching area, with tens of thousands of waterfowl migrating here for the winter while the endangered brown pelican is a year-round resident. Join a guided nature walk along the Ridge Trail boardwalk while keeping your eyes peeled for not only birds but also alligators and amphibians.

Want to explore a different environment? Travel across the border into Mississippi to visit the De Soto National Forest near Wiggins, MS, which protects a biologically diverse tract of longleaf pine savanna, forest, and flatwoods. It’s named after the 16th-century explorer Hernando de Soto and is renowned for its large number of rare and endangered species that rely on this habitat for their survival. It’s also home to the state’s only designated National Wild and Scenic River, the Black Creek, which can be explored by canoe, as well as the famous Buttercup flats where carnivorous pitcher plants flourish.

RV Parks

Pick up your RV rental in Metairie and pull into one of the RV sites at the New Orleans KOA near the banks of the Mississippi River. There’s a swimming pool and dog park where your four-legged friends can run free, as well as access to cable TV and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Alternatively, you can book a spot at the French Quarter RV Resort, which is located just blocks from New Orleans’ historic French Quarter. Aside from their 52 paved sites, there’s also a clubhouse and a laundry room, as well as a French Quarter-style courtyard with a pool and a hot tub where you can mingle with other guests.

Slightly farther away is the Bayou Barataria RV Park, which is around 15 minutes’ drive from the center of New Orleans. There are spacious bathrooms and a laundromat that guests are welcome to use, as well as access to the park’s professionally built, back-down boat ramp along the Intracoastal Waterway.

Exploring the City

Park your RV rental near Metairie and stroll along the Veterans Memorial Boulevard, which is lined with restaurants and retail stores. Stop in at the sprawling Lakeside Shopping Center, one of the largest of its kind in the New Orleans area, where you’ll find big-name department stores. Alternatively, head farther west down Veterans Memorial Boulevard to the Clearview Mall, which also features a cinema complex.

You can spend a day exploring New Orleans’ iconic French Quarter, which centers around the legendary Bourbon Street. Admire the late-18th-century Spanish architecture of Jackson Square and the impressive St. Louis Cathedral, then delve into the live music scene along Frenchmen Street. If you’re looking to escape the bustle of New Orleans, head to the verdant landscapes of City Park where you can walk, enjoy a tennis match, or ride the 1906 carousel.

For a cultural fix, be sure to visit The National World War II Museum that details the American experience during the war or head next door to the Contemporary Arts Center. Also adjacent is the Ogden Museum of Southern Art where handicrafts and folk art are celebrated, with live music performances also held here once a week. Music lovers shouldn’t miss the New Orleans Jazz Museum at the Old U.S. Mint where you’ll find interactive exhibits about the lives of Louis Armstrong and Pete Fountain.

Metairie is home to numerous supermarkets and shopping malls where you can buy groceries, not to mention plenty of fast food eateries and restaurants for dining out. There are also gas stations if you want to fill up your camper rental in Metairie.

Whether you’re visiting Jefferson Parish for its bird-filled marshes or cultural museums, book an RV in Metairie and start exploring.
