RV Park Near Plants & Refineries in LaPlace, LA: Drive Times

Pines on the River RV Park sits at 116 Johnny Court in LaPlace, Louisiana, across the street from the Mississippi River levee. It puts you in the middle of the River Parishes industrial corridor: more than a dozen refineries, chemical plants and terminals are within a 30-minute drive, and New Orleans’ airport is about 23 minutes away.

If you’re here for a turnaround, a shutdown, or a long-term contract, a short commute means more sleep and less time on Airline Highway. Here’s how far the park is from the plants our guests work at most.
