The town of Mandeville sits directly across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, in the south of Louisiana. The large causeway that spans the massive, brackish estuary connects the small city to its much larger counterpart. Mandeville owes its name to the Cajun-French influence of the region as there are two villages in France named Mandeville. The town was founded and incorporated in 1840, and soon after became a popular vacation retreat for the New Orleans elite. As time went on, Mandeville became more accessible to middle-class people as well, making it a tiny resort town destination.

Mandeville has a storied history, forever known as one of the original birthplaces of jazz music. Lively bars and music venues have become the calling card of this delightful village across the water from New Orleans. With the arrival of the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, Mandeville developed a reputation as one of New Orleans most charming suburbs, much easier to access via the causeway than the previous option of old steamboats.

Lovers of culture, music and the outdoors will see why the choice to book an RV in Mandeville is a good one. Get in your Mandeville, Louisiana RV rental and don’t look back.

Discover Mandeville


Explore the Outdoors

Once you get going in one of the many Mandeville RV rentals by owner, you will immediately understand why so many people have fallen in love with this glorious, little, lakeside retreat. The small, nameless parks along the waterfront in town are gentle reminders of just how beautiful southern Louisiana is. It is quite easy to find local parks to enjoy in your Mandeville camper rental, with several fine options within a 20 minutes drive. Fontainebleau State Park can be found literally right next to the town of Mandeville. This 2,800-acre lakefront park was once a large sugarcane plantation owned by Mandeville’s founder, Bernard de Marigny. Now the park is home to wonderful beaches, walking trails, a history museum, and a wealth of campsites for you and your Mandeville motorhome rental.

Fairview-Riverside State Park is located on the other side of town on the Tchefuncte River outside of Madisonville. The park is known for its excellent fishing and boating in the river that empties into the estuary. People have been known to catch crabs, catfish, and other freshwater fish in the river. This property was also once a private estate, that was later donated for the creation of a recreational facility. There is a mix of primitive and deluxe campsites at this park so you’ll have a place to stay when you bring your Mandeville RV rental to visit.

If you don’t mind taking your Mandeville RV trailer rental for an adventure into neighboring Mississippi, the De Soto National Forest is worth the extra effort. The massive, half-million-acre preserve can be found north of Gulfport and Biloxi in Mississippi and has some of the wildest and most extraordinarily beautiful expanses in the Gulf coast states. This crucial habitat is one of the last of its kind in the country, benefitting from a wide variety of ecosystems and wildlife. You can, of course, camp nearly anywhere in the forest with your Mandeville camper rental as long as you adhere to the rules and leave no trace.

RV Parks to Visit

There are many options of places to park your RV in the Mandeville area. Consider Land-O-Pines Campground, about ten miles from Mandeville in Covington.

Another option, in River Ridge, is the New Orleans KOA. If the time of year is right, you can be nice and close to the action of Mardi Gras or the annual New Orleans Jazz Festival. The park has a dog walking area, a pool, and a shuttle that brings guests around the city.

Less than 10 miles from Mandeville, you’ll find the Abita Springs RV Resort. Your Mandeville, LA RV rental will fit right in at the full hookup sites.

City Sightseeing

There are a diverse set of attractions in Mandeville that you can check out when you rent an RV, many of which celebrate the rich, cultural heritage of both Louisiana and the town itself. The Jean Baptiste Lang Creole House Museum is a perfect example of Cajun culture and offers a great deal of insight into the region’s past. The house was built in 1852 and is one of the last standing Anglo-Creole structures in Mandeville. The Children’s Museum of St. Tammany is geared toward small children, with fun rock-climbing walls, play kitchens, and musical exhibits. Let the kids learn even more by participating in one of the interactive science experiments.

H.J. Smith & Son’s General Store and Museum is a functional store and museum packed all in one. This quaint hardware store has been in operation for over a hundred years and still sells fishing gear, tools, cast iron cookware, and more. The Dew Drop Jazz & Social Hall and Ruby’s Roadhouse are two influential, old jazz halls where the genre got its start. These historic buildings are still in operation today and hold concerts for patrons to enjoy.

Don’t forget that because you are so close to New Orleans, you can also explore everything this unique city has to offer. From history to culture to nature, you’re in the right place with your RV rental near Mandeville.
