Sun Outdoors New Orleans North Shore Review

Sun Outdoors New Orleans North Shore

Sun Outdoors New Orleans North Shore, formerly Reunion Lake RV Resort, is a lakeside RV and cottage resort in Ponchatoula, Louisiana. We stayed there in 2023 and found the compact layout, lake and boardwalk easy to enjoy.

The resort currently lists amenities including a seasonal lazy river, family and adults-only pools, kayaks and paddleboards, miniature golf, a fitness center, arcade, playground and planned activities. Availability, fees and operating dates can change, so confirm the features that matter to you before booking.

What the RV Experience Was Like

New RV travelers may need time to learn the vehicle’s layout, controls and storage. Our RVing 101 for beginners guide covers the basics. During this stay, I used the Puma RV pictured above.

The campground felt relaxed and neighborly. Guests waved, talked and sometimes invited one another for coffee. That closeness may feel unfamiliar at first, but it was part of the resort’s appeal for us. Normal travel and security precautions still apply.

Lake, Boardwalk and Resort Amenities

The man-made lake was the standout feature during our visit. A boardwalk followed much of the shoreline and was especially attractive around sunrise and sunset. The beach area and kayaking created several ways to use the water without leaving the property.

Cindi, the manager during our stay, helped keep the experience running smoothly. The RV was clean, comfortable and arranged well for our needs, with enough space for a family of four.

Who the Resort Suits

Sun Outdoors New Orleans North Shore made sense for travelers who wanted an RV-resort setting with water, family activities and access to the Ponchatoula area. New RVers should expect a learning curve, while experienced travelers may care more about site type, hookups and current amenity schedules.

The property is also positioned for regional exploring, with New Orleans roughly an hour away depending on traffic. Check current driving times, reservation rules, cottage or RV options and seasonal operations before planning a trip.
