Best Campgrounds near Mobile, AL

590 Reviews

Several camping spots surround Mobile, Alabama, where history meets outdoor recreation. Meaher State Park Campground gives campers good site spacing and clean bathrooms, plus it's not far from Battleship Park. If you're traveling by RV, All About Relaxing RV Park in Theodore has clean shower facilities and staff who tend to be helpful. The grounds are well-kept and have a laid-back feel. Blakeley State Park Campground works well for kayakers and hikers who want to spend time in natural settings. The historic grounds have walking paths throughout the property. Another option is Apalachee - Blakeley State Park, where wildlife watching is common. Even when temperatures climb, the shaded trails and water breezes help keep things comfortable. Most of these camping areas can be reached on regular roads, though some spots might need higher clearance vehicles after rain. Some campsites feel more private than others. Trees cover many sites, which helps block the strong Alabama sun. Think about timing your trip for spring or fall when the weather is milder and bugs are less active. Bug spray is worth bringing, especially if you'll be near swampy areas where mosquitoes live. Mobile's nearby campgrounds work for both tent and RV campers with different preferences.
