Louisiana Monthly Campground Rates
Louisiana monthly campground rates run $350 to $790/month for a full-hookup site, with a median of $577/month across the 25 Louisiana parks that publish a monthly rate, each checked 4 June 2026. That median sits $73/month under the $650/month median across all 513 parks with a published monthly rate on this site. The lowest rates are in north Louisiana. New Orleans holds the top three.
The state has no snowbird season the way Texas or Florida does, so Louisiana monthly rates move less through the year and are driven mostly by geography: petrochemical and port corridors price high, the Delta parishes price low.
Every Louisiana Campground That Publishes a Monthly Rate
The table carries only rates posted by the operator on the operator's own page. Every row was checked 4 June 2026. Rates are for a standard full-hookup site unless the last column says otherwise.

Of the 130 Louisiana parks tracked here, 98 publish no rate at all and another 7 publish only a nightly or weekly figure. Silence is the normal condition in this state. If a park you are considering is not in the table, it has not posted a monthly number and you will have to call for it.
Where the Lowest Monthly Rates Are
North Louisiana. The four monthly rates under $500/month all sit in the Ouachita and Tensas basin parishes: Calhoun at $350/month, Sterlington at $350/month plus electric, Wisner at $400/month, and Jonesville at $450/month. These are small towns off I-20 and US-65, an hour or more from a full hospital, and none of them is a destination park.
Two of the four publish their arithmetic in a way worth copying. Turkey Creek Park in Wisner posts $400.00 monthly and $360.00 for senior citizens, a 10% cut that most parks apply only if you ask. 101 RV Park in Calhoun posts $350.00 monthly, $125.00 weekly and $25.00 daily with no phone call required, which is unusual anywhere.
The cluster to understand is Lake Charles. Eight of the state's 25 published monthly rates sit in that one city, running $550 to $650/month with a median of $583/month. That is the tightest band in Louisiana, and a tight band across eight independent operators means they are pricing off each other in a market with steady long-stay demand rather than pricing off tourism.
New Orleans is the ceiling. The three parks with monthly rates there run $650, $750 and $790/month, and Parc d'Orleans charges $72/night, the second highest nightly rate published in the state. The highest, $170/night at French Quarter RV Resort on an event rate with a two to three night minimum, comes with no monthly rate at all. Parks built around Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest weekends have no reason to sell you a month.
What the Monthly Rate Actually Includes
This is the number that moves the total, and 14 of the 25 parks leave it unstated or only partly stated.
Louisiana runs air conditioning nine months a year, so a metered electric bill on a Gulf coast site in July is not a rounding error. Two parks state outright that power is billed on top: Bayou Boeuf in Sterlington posts lots starting at $350.00 per month plus electric with a $150.00 deposit, and Bayou Barataria in Harvey quotes its $600/month for an uncovered site with electric separate.
Compare that with the all-in end. Edwards RV Park in Jonesville posts a $450/month rate with water, electricity, cable and sewage available, and Sterlington RV Park posts $575.00 monthly for a 30/50 amp full service site with rates that include electric, water, sewer, garbage and taxes. A $575/month all-in rate can land under a $500/month rate with metered summer power once the compressor runs all day.
Ask the question in this form before you commit: what did a site like mine pay in electric last August. A park that cannot answer is a park that has not tracked it.
Monthly vs Nightly: The Louisiana Arithmetic
Twenty Louisiana parks publish both a nightly and a monthly rate, which makes the discount measurable rather than assumed. Across those 20, the monthly rate is a median 45% of what 30 nights at the same park's nightly rate would cost. Paying by the night in Louisiana costs roughly twice the monthly rate.
The spread is wide and it is worth checking per park. Parc d'Orleans in New Orleans has the steepest discount at 30% of 30 nights, because its nightly rate is the highest in the state. Turkey Creek in Wisner has the shallowest at 61%, because its $22/night rate is already low. Sterlington sits at 55%.
The practical rule: the higher a park's nightly rate, the more the monthly rate saves you, and the more likely it is that the monthly number is the only one worth quoting. For the national picture behind these figures, see how much an RV park costs per month and the average nightly rate guide.
Louisiana State Parks Do Not Do Monthly
Anyone pricing a month in Louisiana on state park rates is pricing something that does not exist. The state parks reservation system states that camping and cabin reservations are limited to 15 consecutive days for any overnight site, and visitors using a campsite for 15 consecutive days must vacate the site for 7 consecutive days before occupancy may be resumed.
That 15-and-7 rule makes a continuous month impossible without moving out for a week. Long-term stays exist at some parks at the manager's discretion, but they are not bookable at the posted campsite rate through the reservation system. The private parks in the table above are the actual monthly market in this state.
Tax on a Louisiana Monthly Site
Louisiana law puts overnight camping inside the occupancy tax net. State statute defines a local occupancy tax as one levied on the furnishing or occupancy of sleeping rooms, hotel rooms, motel rooms, overnight camping facilities, or any other similar accommodation. An RV site is not exempt because it is not a hotel room.
That is why the tax column in the table matters more than it looks. Alexandria RV Park states sales tax is included in its $650/month. Osprey Lakes states its $625/month excludes tax. Both Paradise parks post $650/month plus tax. Two parks quoting $650/month are not quoting the same money, and the gap is real cash on a six-month stay. Get the number confirmed as tax-in or tax-out before you sign.
Compare Real, Dated Louisiana Rates
Every rate above links to that park's page with its source and the date it was checked. The Louisiana rate page carries all 130 parks in the state, including the ones with no published rate and their phone numbers, so you can work down the list rather than searching one park at a time.
