Hi,
we will travel from Virginia over Florida to New Orleans, to be in New
Orleans in the first week of August 2019.
Anyone know of a nice camping spot, with good public transport into the
city?

Mr.Schmidt.
It all depends on what kind of budget you’re are working with. I know there’s 1 or 2 right in the heart of the city but it’s not cheap. We stayed at Bayou Segnette in Westego, about a 15mins from the ferry(foot traffic only) that drops you off right in front of the mall. The state park was really nice and reasonably priced. Can’t speak to the public transport to the ferry. We drove our rig to the ferry and parked it in the dirt parking lot. We did that twice and had zero problems while leaving the camper for hours on end. The ferry is in a “nicer” part of town and the attendants were wicked nice. Hope this helps a little. Safe travels.

ponchartrain landing is also our favorite spot there. But you might have to use Uber to get to the French quarter. It's about 3 miles away. They have a great bar/restaurant also.
There is one right next to the French quarter called French Quarter RV resort. But it sits virtually under the 10 freeway and gets very loud. Reviews aren't the best for this place..

Do not stay at the KOA in Sidel. It is a dump.
Limited options in New Orleans. We stayed at a park in West New Orleans. Packed in like sardines. And, priced like a resort. Not really recommended. However, there are very limited options available for the area, and the more reasonable priced ones are loaded with transit oil field workers.
If you have a toad, stay out further and drive in. Otherwise, bite the bullet and stay at the $100 a night rv park in the French Quarter. You can walk to everything from there.

Another area recommendation for restaurants and cool areas would be Frenchman's Street. Right next to the French 1/4 on the east part. It's the not as much touristy part of NO. MAKE SURE YOU GO TO ADOLFO'S!!! In the Frenchman's street. Rack of lamb with the ocean sauce!!! My goooodness!!! Try to get there early for seating, then stay in that local area for libations And music!!
You can thank me later!!!
Scott.
