Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Mobile, AL

599 Reviews

Meaher State Park Campground welcomes pets at all 61 full-hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer connections. Several campgrounds near Mobile accommodate pets including Blakeley State Park, I-10 Kampground, and Shady Acres, each with specific pet policies but generally requiring dogs to remain leashed within campground boundaries. Chickasabogue Park features spacious sites that can accommodate multiple tents along with pets, though the park is temporarily closed for renovations. Most campgrounds provide designated pet waste stations and walking paths. The bathrooms at Shady Acres were noted as being less than ideal for overnight stays, though the camping sites themselves feature good shade and level gravel pads for easy setup with pets. Mobile Oaks RV Resort (formerly Johnny's RV Resort) allows pets in both RV sites and cabin accommodations.

Blakeley State Park maintains multiple pet-friendly camping areas including Harper Campground and Apalachee RV Campground, with hiking trails accessible directly from many campsites where leashed dogs can join their owners. Sites at Chickasabogue Park offer fire rings and picnic tables with nearby trails suitable for dog walking, though highway noise is noticeable throughout the campground. Full hookup sites at Meaher State Park provide waterfront views where campers and their pets can enjoy shoreline access, though visitors should be aware of potential alligator sightings in the area. Mobile County Park enforces a strict no-alcohol policy while allowing pets, and maintains shower facilities and trash service for campers. Most campgrounds in the region implement quiet hours to minimize barking disturbances, and several locations provide access to nearby veterinary services in Spanish Fort, Theodore, and Mobile proper.

    Harper - Blakeley State Park

    We love this place!

    We have RV’d here several times and enjoy it each time. Love the history here as well as the various trails for hiking, biking, or horseback riding. Still can’t believe that this woodsy campground is minutes away from Mobile.

    Meaher State Park Campground

    One of our favorite campgrounds .

    We have stayed here 4 times over the last 2 years. We keep coming back. It’s a good location for events in Mobile and Baldwin counties. Site are level and paved. All have FHU I believe. They have a nice little fishing pier. Boat and kayak launch. Bath houses clean and operated correctly. Hot water etc. You can hear traffic in Hwy 98 and I10 at night but was not an issue for us. Other have complained I have noticed. Tv antenna reception good from Mobile and Pensacola. About and hour drive to great beaches also.

    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.

    Gulf Shores-Pensacola West KOA

    Enjoyed Our Stay

    We stayed for the weekend. First thoughts were that it felt a bit cramped. We had an issue with the electrical that we couldn’t figure out, but one of the campground workers was very nice and tried to help us figure out the issue. We loved walking to the waterfront. My son enjoyed the basketball court. My kids loved the pool. It was quiet at night. The dog park consists of two fenced in areas which was nice because my dog gets bored quickly of the same area, so I alternated between the two. Overall it was a decent stay. The basic pull throughs do not have a fire pit, which sucked because it was chilly at night. The store was nice, as well. There is an entrance and an exit on opposite ends of the park - the exit is a bit tight and my husband was nervous to pull the camper that way. We noticed several people going out the entrance because it’s easier, just a heads up.

    Perdido Key RV Resort

    Small and fairly quiet

    This RV park is tucked under the overpass and situated across from a golf course and next to a neighborhood. We were able to safely ride our bikes on the sidewalk to the public beach that wasn’t far at all. There’s also a public dog park/beach not far from the RV park. The little beach at the RV park is right where the house boats anchor and so it’s a little awkward to sit for a while as you feel you’re looking into their living room windows. The pool is nice - there’s a shaded canopy area on the side of the pool. Perdido Key is a very quiet town with not a lot to do and shuts down pretty early.
    The public beach at the end of the road was hard to find a parking spot - very small parking lot with limited parking.

    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.
