Louisiana RV Parks with EV Charging

Louisiana offers RV travelers unique Cajun culture, swamp ecosystems, historic plantations, and vibrant New Orleans. The Bayou State provides distinctive camping experiences from coastal marshes to northern forests. Developing EV infrastructure in major cities and along key routes supports electric vehicle exploration of Louisiana's cultural riches.

RV Camping in Louisiana

Louisiana features 21 state parks plus numerous private campgrounds, particularly in areas near New Orleans and along the coast. Popular destinations include Fontainebleau State Park near New Orleans, Chicot State Park, and Bayou Segnette State Park. Many parks offer access to bayous and swamps for unique paddling experiences. Coastal camping provides fishing opportunities. Most parks offer modern facilities, though some remote areas have basic amenities.

EV Charging Infrastructure in Louisiana

EV charging infrastructure in Louisiana is concentrated in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette, with coverage along I-10, I-20, and I-49. Urban areas have decent charging networks, but rural areas, especially southern bayou regions, may have very limited options. The flat terrain is efficient for EVs, though extreme heat increases AC consumption. Tesla Superchargers and other networks are expanding but remain limited outside major routes.

Planning Your EV RV Trip

Louisiana's subtropical climate means hot, humid summers (May-September) that dramatically increase AC usage and reduce range. Fall (October-November) and spring (March-April) offer more comfortable camping weather. Hurricane season (June-November) requires careful monitoring. Mardi Gras season brings crowds to New Orleans area but creates unique experiences. Always plan charging carefully outside major cities. Mosquitoes are intense near water - bring excellent bug protection. Consider visiting during crawfish season (late winter/spring).
