Bay Palms RV Resort

5 ReviewsAdd Review

Bay Palms RV Resort operates year-round on the route to Dauphin Island, offering full hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer connections. The privately managed resort charges $49-$89 per night depending on season and site type, with military and Good Sam discounts available. Sites follow a parking lot layout with both back-in gravel spots and pull-through options.

Amenities include a heated pool, community room, dog park, and fitness facility, though reviewers note inconsistent hot water availability in shower facilities. The resort allows pets and provides WiFi, though connectivity proves unreliable for some visitors. Staff receives consistent praise for friendliness and customer service, and ongoing renovations aim to expand capacity and upgrade bathrooms.

The location sits eight miles from Dauphin Island with limited nearby dining beyond seafood restaurants and pizza options. Grocery stores require advance planning for provisioning. "Looked nice and clean for summer use though," notes Elizabeth Z. about the pool area. Cell service coverage varies by carrier across the property.

Reservations are recommended, particularly for premium sites during summer months when rates peak. The resort works best for RV travelers comfortable with resort-style camping rather than those seeking a quick overnight stop.

Many visitors appreciated the friendly staff and amenities like the pool and gym. However, recurring complaints about cold showers and hot water issues were noted. The park offers a convenient location near Dauphin Island.

Nice place

Nice RV park, felt safe. Our daughter enjoyed the playground. We went in March, so we were hoping to enjoy the heated pool, but unfortunately it was ice cold. Looked nice and clean for summer use though. Shower water was also cold. It’s a short drive to dauphin island, which we enjoyed visiting. Luckily we brought most of the food we needed because there is no nearby fast food and limited grocery stores. Just something to be aware of. Mainly seafood or pizza restaurants around. WiFi was pretty unusable for us.

Small spots, nice people

Great customer service from the staff, no picnic tables, fun crowd, there’s a gym not a haircut place according to the website, dog park, they are renovating the bathrooms and reinvesting in the park to make it bigger with more spots, close enough to Dauphin Island.

Not our style but appears to be a very nice RV park

If RV parks are your thing, you will likely enjoy staying here. I would rate it a 4 based on friendliness of staff and amenities but lower on location and layout (parking lot style). This is simply because of the fact that we travel in our campervan and only wish to spend a limited amount of time IN our van as opposed to larger RVs that are more conducive to staying inside.

Rates vary from $35/night full gravel back-in during the winter to $55/night for a premium pull-through in the summer. Weekly rates are also available. Military and Good Sam discounts are also given. 

Amenities include a heated pool, community room, dog park, gym (new equipment was being delivered the day I visited) and new laundry appliances due to be delivered. This RV park is located on the road to Dauphin Island, about eight miles away. I don’t think you would be on your way to/from anywhere so it is not likely you would stay here as a stopover but if you were coming with a group or escaping the winter, this might be a nice place for you.
