Apalachee RV Campground - Blakeley State Park

4 Reviews Add Review

Where the Tensaw River system winds through southern Alabama's coastal plain, Apalachee RV Campground sits within Blakeley State Park near Spanish Fort. This state-managed facility operates year-round with full hookup sites for RVs and walk-in tent camping options spread across wooded terrain.

The campground provides electric, water, and sewer connections alongside standard amenities including restrooms, showers, and a dump station. Campers find "big camping spaces- semi private" according to Christie M., with generous spacing between sites that reduces crowding. Site conditions vary, with some requiring more effort to level than others. Wildlife encounters happen regularly here, particularly deer that approach campsites closely.

Historical preservation areas from the 1800s occupy much of the surrounding park grounds. Trail networks accommodate hiking and biking, while water access supports kayaking throughout the area's river systems. The park also offers boat excursions and guided history tours for visitors interested in the region's Civil War significance.

Despite proximity to Mobile's urban area, the campground maintains a secluded atmosphere. Reservations help secure preferred sites, and the facility welcomes pets. For campers exploring places to camp near Spanish Fort, this location balances convenient access with wooded seclusion and diverse recreational opportunities.

Great stop for the night

I camped here for one night in the improved tent campsites at bartram campground. The site had trees to hang my hammock, a fire ring, water, and a picnic table. You walk maybe 50ft from your parking spot to the site in the woods. The bathroom was clean, had a light, very soft toilet paper, and hand sanitizer. Would definitely stay here again!

Weekend Stay

Great park with a ton of historically preserved areas from the 1800’s.

Bugs are not nearly as bad as I expected. Lots of wildlife including deer that come very close. Some sites are level some are more difficult to level.

Great wooded area close to attractions

We stayed a few nights enroute to our final destination and really enjoyed this campground. It is very close to Mobile, but also very secluded. There is alot of space between sites and lots to see and do within the campground also. Hiking and biking trails, a boat excursion and a history tour of the area.
