Grand Isle State Park i USA

It is a long drive to the end of Grand Isle but you are rewarded with a nice state park with clean amenities. Large flat pull through sites (much larger than we needed but can accommodate large RVs). Bathrooms are among the cleanest I have ever seen in any state park. Free laundry is a nice perk but do it early (I was first at 7am and it piled up soon after). Beach access. Not nicest beach but ok. The $25 fee does not include a $6 processing fee (only applicable for first night) or tax. Only thing I didn’t like was the vicious mosquitoes!

A long, long drive out to the SP. Not much to see except swamp grass, fishing shacks on stilts and anything else build is pretty much on dredging sand and slab. Water table is about -3' (yes, a negative number). Can't imagine what it is like out there during a storm or hurricane! Visited once before Katrina and loved its isolation. Site pads are behind very high berm from the Gulf, easy access to beach. Tried two other times in later years, but park was closed after subsequent storms. Understand it has been rebuilt, new pads, bathrooms and is very well maintained. It is a long way out so best check first for availability and come prepared with food and supplies. They are scarce out here (especially fuel). Park attendants are helpful and friendly, fishing from pier or charter boat is excellent, birding is superb and bugs could be a problem if the weather was right for them.

Stayed Dec 27, 2019-Jan 10, 2020. Sites were all pull thru and good size, with easy access to beach. Electric & Water only. 2 very nice bath houses and free laundry. Dogs weren’t allowed on beach, so we had to leave park to run them. Constant mechanical noise from dredging off-shore. Don’t let remoteness reviews worry you, they had nice grocery stores close. I worked remotely and had sufficient Verizon cell phone coverage for hot spot.

Access to the park is good. Signage could be a bit better. The signs is quite small at the entrance to Admiral Craik Drive. It begins where LA 1 makes a sharp left. Admiral Craik is straight ahead. Check in was quick, easy and informative. The road into the camping area is in good condition. There are speed bumps to control speed. The interior roads are paved and in fair condition. Our site, 17, was a pull through as they all are except the beach tenting sites. It consisted of an asphalt pad, just wide enough for the rig and a small space to step out onto. Utilities were 50/30 amp power and water located to the left side. We had a table, fire pit and a grill on a grassed. The sites were closely spaced. The internet at our site was good during the week but when the park got busier on the weekend it became poor. OTA TV was adequate. The park is about 10 minutes from groceries etc in the village of Grand Isle The Comfort Stations were super clean including the two free to use washers and driers. Be aware. Some sites are easily flooded when it rains. There is no attempt at drainage. This park is very quiet. There are not a lot of street lights so it is fairly good for star gazing at night. The beach sand was groomed a number of times during our stay. It is great for walking or riding a bicycle. The sand surface near the waters edge is quite firm. There is not a lot to do here unless you fish but it is a very nice, incredibly well maintained park We paid about $12.50 per night using the senior discount.. We feel we received very good value for our dollar and would return if in the area.
