Gulf State Park - Toes in the Sand

We stayed here in October during the annual Shrimp Festival.  The location could not have been more convenient.  We had a pull-thru site with full hook-ups and a water view across the street.  I couldn't have asked for more except maybe some shade.

The park has great, flat bike paths.  Some built over marsh areas.  There is also a nice pool for when you get tired of the beach.  You do have access to the beach, but it's a little bit of a hike from some campsites.  A free pass to the fishing pier comes with your camping fee.  Although we didn't fish, it was fun to people watch.

Even if the Shrimp Festival wasn't going on, there is PLENTY to do here.  Lots of restaurants, bars, beaches, activities, and shopping.  Enough to allow you to do something different every time you come.

We already have reservations for a week during the next Shrimp Fest.  Great campground for beach lovers!
