Ever heard of a family business donating land to a state to create a park? Well, this park right here is a perfect example of that. In 1971, a local family business donated the land for this park to the state of Louisiana. Their generosity led to the creation of St. Bernard State Park Campground just a short drive from New Orleans. This park is a popular spot for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy some peace and quiet in nature. In this park, you’ll find a series of man-made lagoons that provide a peaceful and beautiful backdrop for relaxation. With its proximity to the Mississippi River, St. Bernard State Park provides a perfect destination for all sorts of outdoor activities such as boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. It’s also a great spot for birding, with a variety of species making their home on the grounds of St. Bernard State Park. And if you happen to be with kids, they will be thrilled to play on the water playground. No wonder St. Bernard State Park Campground is so popular for families. But there’s more to St. Bernard State Park than just the natural beauty. It’s also a perfect place to experience the rich history of Louisiana. It’s just a stone’s throw from Chalmette National Historical Park, a site that played a pivotal role in the Battle of New Orleans. You can also visit Jackson Barracks and other historic sites and plantation homes.
