Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Grand Bay, AL

579 Reviews

Dauphin Island Campground accommodates pets throughout its tent, RV, and cabin sites with a pet-friendly policy that allows dogs of all sizes. The campground offers dedicated waste stations and walking areas for exercising pets. Several miles west, Presley's Outing welcomes campers with dogs at both lakeside and standard campsites. A long-term camper noted the separate beaches for day-use and extended-stay guests provide more relaxed areas for pet owners during busy summer months. Most campgrounds in the area maintain standard leash requirements, typically six feet or shorter, and request pets not be left unattended at campsites.

The lake at Presley's Outing provides water access for dogs that enjoy swimming, with designated pet-friendly shoreline areas away from main swimming beaches. Mobile Oaks RV Resort features gated security and access to a 14-acre lake where dogs can exercise along the shoreline. When temperatures rise in summer months, All About Relaxing RV Park provides a dedicated dog bathing station, making it easier to keep pets clean and comfortable. The park's dog run allows for off-leash exercise in a secure environment. For campers needing veterinary services, several animal clinics operate within a 20-minute drive of most Grand Bay area campgrounds, with the closest emergency services available in Mobile.

    Parkers Landing RV Park

    Nice Little Park

    This is a nice little park. Not fancy, but friendly and quiet. The office people were really nice and very accomodating. Has a small pool, showers/restrooms, and laundry. There are maybe 50% fulltime residents, but we were there for two months and never heard/saw any drama or trouble. People were friendly and kept mainly to themselves. Park has lots of shade from beautiful live oak trees and has a waterfront area that is very pretty. No dog park, but plenty of places to walk your leashed pet. There is a boat ramp around the corner and I believe the waterway connects to the river. The park is older, and some of the cement pads are cracked and heaving, but looked like people were able to level up. They mow and trim regularly, so things were neat. This isn't a new fancy park, but it was nice and quiet and we liked it. We had site 64 which was a great really long pull thru with full hookups. Our Verizon reception was good. They offer reasonable weekly and monthly prices as well as nightly. The park is off Exit 41 of I-10 about halfway between D'Iberville/Biloxi exit and Gulfport exit (both have tons of shopping). Local area has tons to do...casinos, beaches, about an hour and quarter to New Orleans, Shuckers baseball, plus tons of great food.

    Shepard State Park Campground

    Lots to do here!

    The primitive campsite was very nice. Even though the park was a bit crowded we still had privacy. The dog park was perfect for our two large dog, very clean. My toddler had a very easy time walking around which was a huge plus!  The marsh trails were perfect for viewing wildlife. 10/10, would recommend!

    Deer Creek RV Park

    Highly Recommend and will stay here again

    We stayed at Deer Creek RV Park after returning from Florida headed back out west and this place is awesome. It is very conveniently located off I-65 and the park is very well kept, bathhouses are immaculate and very large. Has a dog park which our dog loved being off leash and owners are very nice, informative and can also recommend great restaurants around. They also have two other RV sites close to Gulf Shores and OWA in Foley. Highly recommend!

    Gulf State Park Campground

    Spacious sites, amenities and close to ocean, but no dogs

    This was our first visit to Gulf Shores State Park in Alabama.  The check in was as slow as molasses even though they had lots of staff, mostly standing.  Waited in line for 45 minutes with one person ahead of us taking her sweet time to book a future campsite.  Our site was nice, spacious with privacy.  We were worried about the alligators and snakes so kept pups on a short leash.

    The beach was beautiful, with sandy white shores and lots of shells.  However, if you have dogs, it's a no-go so they have to stay back at the camp.  They do have a lovely dog park, right on the lake where dogs can run and swim, but the 'do not feed alligators' was a concern.  Locals said they had never seen one in 15 years... so not sure and not sure I want my dog to be the exception.

    We enjoyed the friendly, southern hospitality of the town and would definitely return.  I would investigate other dog friendly places in the area.

    Ahoy RV Resort

    Nice clean park with friendly staff

    This is a nice RV Park with lots of ammenties, like shuffleboard, pickleball, basketball, social room, pool with cool slide and a dog park. Its pretty close to the highway, so you get road noise, but its not bad. The drive in is about 1/4 mile of dirt road, but the park is paved with decent sized gravel sites, patios, picnic table and firepit and there is a "lake" in the middle of the park. The park is surrounded by tall pine trees, which is really nice. It was pretty expensive, and is 15 miles from the beach (66 for one night including discount), so not sure that we'd be back, but their weekly and monthly fees arent so bad. Overall a very nice park.

    Shields RV Park

    2 parks 2 different feels

    Lived in the front park for 6 months. Busy with outside traffic and trains. Park in the back of base is newer and nicer. 20x40 level concrete pads. Secluded from the rest of base. Little fishing pods and trails from old golf course. Bath house with 4 separate rooms with toilets and showers. Washer and dryer. Near giant voice speaker so you won’t sleep in past 8am any day and you’ll hear any emergency. Only way out is tricky during pt hours in the morning with all the runners. Large dog park a short walk away.
