    Sugar Sands RV Resort

    Our favorite Orange Beach campground

    Very clean. Spacious sites with level concrete pads. Full hook ups. Only 8-10 minutes to the beach.  Very clean bath houses. Easy to navigate campground road with tons of room to back into back-in sites. Pull throughs also easily assessible. Nice pool. Check in easy and quick. Employees very friendly. Will be back next month. Camp store on site. They also have a few rental tiny houses and rv's. Trash pickup at your site each morning. Cable TV and great WIFI.

    9/6/20 update: all things mostly the same, bath house closed from 8pm to 8am and WiFi not nearly as good as past visits.

    Oaklawn RV Park

    Good for a layover

    The good: location was great, right off the highway and next to a Camping World, Tire center, and emergency vet. Wi-Fi worked well, park felt safe, and we were only 10 minutes from major attractions in the area. The bad: water pressure was horrible. Sites were tight and overlapping, a little uneven, and about 4 inches unlevel. This is definitely a long term campground connected to a mobile home park.

    There are a few open pull throughs for transient travelers and I would recommend them as an overnight stay based on location only.

    Magnolia Farms RV Park

    Quiet, Friendly RV Park

    We are fairly new to the RV life - Andy tried to help us back in, and then decided he would just do it for us. He was so helpful. Everyone has been helpful. The laundry facility has an app that lets you know when your clothes are done, so you can walk back to your camper and wait instead of sitting with it. 3 or 4 activities are planned every month. There are some permanent residents, but enough transient to feel like you are with travelers. We chose it because it was close to our daughter, but would choose it again. Monthly rate is cheaper than daily rate. There is a fire pit for everyone to share, but no fire pits or grills for individual sites. Wooden decks for each site are nice. Grassy back in and some pull through- all level. Someone is always tending to the grounds and doing maintenance on the sites. We’ll be back!

    Gulf State Park Campground

    Beaches and bikes

    Gulf Shores Alabama Gulf State Park Current camping spot on the canal. Ours is a nice pull thru with electric and water. Almost 500 sites here from tent to big rig friendly. Spacious sites, some with foliage, some with Lake or canal views. Grills but no fire pits. Right now there's a shortage of usable bath houses because of hurricane damage repairs in progress. Good wifi, local TV, and cell service. Close to stores and dining. Free access to adjacent pier. Great coastal access. Free use of bikes. Lots of great paved and boardwalk trails. Gators, snakes, armadillos and birds reside here.

    Davis Bayou Campground — Gulf Islands National Seashore

    Gem on the Mississippi Gulf Coast

    We really enjoyed our stay at Davis Bayou. The campground seems to be a bit dated, but we kinda enjoyed the nostalgic element this added to the vibe.

    The sites vary in size, we noticed most big rigs had to park their tow vehicles or toads in the auxiliary parking. If this is a problem you may want to look at other options, as the park staff is very diligent about keeping folks off the grass.

    The park staff did regular patrols though out the park. They were very friendly.

    We enjoyed riding our bikes around the park and to the historic arts district in Ocean Springs. There are several restaurants and bars with live music which was fun. There are also alot of art studios to check out.

    We also took our canoe all though out Davis Bayou and to the beach, which was a ton of fun. The tides are in play here, so make sure you study up as conditions can and do change rapidly.

    The visitors center is definitely worth checking out and while your there make sure to check out the fishing pier.

    Each site has a picnic table, fire ring, power and water.

    The cost is $22 a night per site.

    The bathhouses were cleaned regular and had great water pressure. The water has a bit of a smell to it.

    Verizon cell service worked okay.

    Bring bug spray.

    Sun Outdoors Orange Beach

    Lots of concrete

    This is an all Inclusive RV Resort! Lots of spaces, but very few RVs when we were there. Sites are all concrete with easy access hookups. Not much shade. 2 pools, one adult only. Dog Park, laundry, tennis courts, gulf cart rental. They even have a business center. Walking trails connect to Gulf State Park. They do a lot of planned activities which can be annoying. Long term or short term sites available.

    Luxury RV Resort

    Great level spots

    The park great and very easy to get into (35’ 5th wheel). It was very full while we were there but the spots were set up to feel like you still had your own space from your neighbors. Room to park 2 cars. 2 separate spots to tie into the sewer which was nice. Level concrete pads with picnic tables. Hosts where very helpful. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Would stay again.

    Davis Bayou Campground — Gulf Islands National Seashore

    Close to Ocean Springs, Ms.

    This is a popular park during the winter months as it is a National Park. Reserve early. No wifi, no laundry but clean bathrooms and shower. Electric and water at the campsites and a dump station is available. Close to town and all the good eats. Nice clean park.


Guide to Semmes

Semmes, Alabama offers several RV camping options within a 30-mile radius, most with year-round availability due to the mild Gulf Coast climate. The area sits at approximately 220 feet above sea level in the coastal plain region, with nearby camping destinations providing access to both inland lakes and coastal environments. Winter temperatures rarely drop below freezing, creating favorable conditions for outdoor activities throughout the year.

What to do

Hiking historic trails: Blakeley State Park's Apalachee RV Campground offers extensive hiking opportunities through historically preserved areas. "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," notes John W.

Kayaking water trails: Several waterways surround the Semmes area, providing paddling opportunities. "Kayaking trails all around in the park and local. Close by to big city life but camping in the wild yonder," reports Christie M. about Blakeley State Park.

Golfing nearby: Citronelle Lakeview RV Park features an on-site golf course with affordable green fees. "We loved Citronelle and will definitely go back regularly. Whole family enjoyed playing golf, fishing, and walking," shares Lisa N.

Beach excursions: RV parks near Theodore serve as convenient bases for day trips to Gulf beaches. "We were only 25 minutes from Dauphin Island," mentions Jim C. about his stay at Dockside RV Resort.

What campers like

Level concrete pads: Concrete site pads at Homestead RV Community provide stable, spacious parking. "The concrete pads are really large and make for easy leveling and give ample space to park 2 vehicles easily," according to Cameron C.

Dog-friendly amenities: Many parks offer dedicated pet areas. "The dog park is so big and our pups were able to really run around and get their energy out," reports Cameron C. about Homestead RV Community.

Swimming pools: Several parks maintain on-site pools for guest use. "The pool is beautiful, and the large oaks on the property give so much shade and add to the aesthetics of the environment," notes Cameron C.

Site privacy: Parks like Blakeley State Park offer more secluded camping. "Big camping spaces- semi private. Kayaking trails all around in the park and local," writes Christie M.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Though camping is available year-round, summer brings higher humidity and temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F. Spring and fall offer more moderate conditions.

Travel time to attractions: Most RV parks require driving to reach major attractions. "It is very close to Mobile, but also very secluded," explains Alana R. about her stay at Apalachee RV Campground.

Limited grocery options: Some areas have fewer shopping options. "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," shares Elizabeth Z. about Bay Palms RV Resort.

Wi-Fi quality varies: Internet access can be inconsistent between parks. "WiFi was pretty unusable for us," notes Elizabeth Z., while others report excellent connectivity at other locations.

Tips for camping with families

Look for playgrounds: Some parks offer play facilities for children. "There was a nice playground and a great disc golf course! I liked the campsites," reports Aaron S. about Citronelle Lakeview RV Park.

Check pool availability: Swimming pools provide recreation during hot months. "Our daughter enjoyed the playground. We went in March, so we were hoping to enjoy the heated pool, but unfortunately it was ice cold," warns Elizabeth Z.

Consider proximity to kid-friendly attractions: Cajun RV Park in nearby Biloxi offers easy access to family activities. "Great location next to a lot of fun amenities. We only have bikes so we are excited that we can walk/bike to multiple restaurants, kid places (go carts next door), beach and shops," shares Harrison S.

Plan for insects: Bug spray is essential, particularly in warmer months. "Bugs are not nearly as bad as I expected," notes John W., but preparedness remains important.

Tips from RVers

Arrival assistance: All About Relaxing RV Park provides exceptional check-in service. "Arriving in the dark and rain, we were met at the gate and escorted in. He guided me back into the spot and got us settled in," shares a reviewer named "Name."

Water quality considerations: Water softness varies between parks. "Clean SOFT water," highlights Michael J. about All About Relaxing RV Park.

Site selection for noise: Some parks have nearby attractions that create noise. "The only con is the go cart track next door can be loud so get a site away from it," advises Jessica R. about Cajun RV Park.

Security features: Several parks offer gated entry for added security. "Pretty quiet park with security gates and cameras. Alot of nice size trees with a 14 acre lake and swimming pool," notes a camper about Mobile Oaks RV Resort.
