  Santa Maria RV Park

  Christopher Columbus Would Have Loved This Place!

  I’m not sure where they got the name from, but if El Colon was still living, he would really dig how this RV parking lot is using the name of his beloved Santa Maria! Located due south of Farragut Lake, right off Rt. 10 and just west of the Pascagoula River, you’ll come across Santa Maria RV Resort Marina. 

  This spot offers up just about everything you would expect – full RV hook ups including water, sewer and electricity (30 / 50 amp), level gravel beds where you can just connect, level up and be done with it in under 5 minutes. Unlike most RV parking lots, this place has a ton of space and there’s somewhat good distance between your spot and those on either side of you. And if you’re hauling or driving anything bigger than the standard RV or camper, no worries, this place is spacious enough to accommodate just about any size (and even large group sizes). The campground was both kid and pet friendly. Also, I found the on-site campground management team to be incredibly over-friendly (nice Southern hospitality!) and accommodating. 

  From an amenities standpoint, this place is completely full-service (in fact, they’ll escort you right to your campsite!). They’ve got a small, but clean swimming pool, laundr-O-mat, spartan restroom facilities and a propane pump on-site. WiFi is available for free and cable is offered for a small price if you need that. Overall, I found the place to be very well-organized, incredibly clean and exceptionally safe with round-the-clock security. 

  With nature in mind, this place is in close proximity to quite a bit – from Gautier, MS who’s moniker is ‘Nature’s Playground,’ there’s tons of wildlife to see, decent outdoor recreation and hiking to be found and bayous all over the place to drop your kayak or canoe into. 

  Insider’s tip? Some of the best kayaking was had in and around Mississippi - Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge. Closer to the campground though, you’ll find a splendid little Southern town in the City of Gautier, which has some quiet boutique-type shops, Southern restauarnts (I strongly recommend Belle’s on the Bayou or Country Gentleman), farmers market on the weekends, nice municipal parks and even some art exhibits from time to time. All in all, I strongly recommend Santa Maria RV Resort Marina if you’re looking for a decent stop along your travels. 

  Happy Camping!

  Parkers Landing RV Park

  Great stopover

  Right off I-10, this park is convenient to thru travelers looking for a quick overnight. Not horribly expensive. Full hook ups, clean level site. Easy in and out. Bathrooms dated but super clean. Many long-term campers here but no problem, everyone was cool. Would definitely stay here again.

  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.

  Indian Point RV Resort

  Not a resort

  We didn't care for this spot too much. It's an open park with a lot of traffic going in and out and the weekend even more due to the boat launch. When I booked I saw resort and figured it was the best I could find in the area. Not quite sure what they mean by resort? Maybe the pool? You are just paying for a parking spot water, electric and sewer. The place is kinda run down and it has a lot of people that live here. The ones passing through have another part with some concrete pads. The good thing about this place is the water pressure and the lady at the entrance is very nice. I hate to leave bad reviews as the locals seem to like this place, but that's the point the locals come in and out for the boat area, restaurant and use amenities like laundry. When you advertise your place as a resort it's under the impression that you're paying for the perks just for you and the others paying. Even though the park is big there's no trails or much to walk. The other part of the park is where the full timers are and the area doesn't look too nice. If you're looking for a spot for a few days or to rest in your travels then this isn't bad just don't expect an actual RV resort this is more like a trailer park resort which is great if you plan to live here. The RV hookups work and we didn't get robbed so there goes by stars.

  Lakeview RV Resort

  Standard RV Parking Lot w/ [Of Course] Lake View!

  Despite the appearance of an unglorified RV parking lot with basically zero privacy and not much space in between the individual RV’s, this spot is a decent stopover if you need to pull your mobile living room over for a short spell. Lakeview RV Resort has more than 100 individual parking lanes for residents and I found the community to be inviting and friendly  there’s even some social gatherings poolside (very nice feature) each night around sundown. 

  Of course, the gem of this place is the 16 acre lake, which I was able to get my kayak into for a few quick handful of laps early in the morning. If you’re driving an RV or hauling a camper behind your SUV, then this concrete camping parking lot just off of Highway 15 (due north of Interstate 10) near Saucier may just be the perfect spot for you. But if you’re a diehard tent camper like I am, you’ll be out of luck. 

  With ample slanted and elongated parking lanes for your parking pleasure, all of the sites come equipped with the typical 30 / 50 amp electrical hook-ups, waste disposal and water connections, picnic tables, garbage receptacles and even a community BBQ. Additionally, they’ve got a small boat launch, cement / asphalt pads, internet, laundr-O-mat, pavilion for large group events and propane for sale. The restrooms were pretty decent (but could use a serious power spraying).  You’ll discover that both RV’s as well as even a handful of cabins / cottages comingle here, but basically, this is a site designed for and around RV’s.

  Insider’s Tip? Near this RV parking lot, you do have access to all of the nightlife and entertainment you would expect to find in nearby Biloxi, and of course, there’s the world-famous Gulf Shores beachheads that are just a short drive to. I’m a diehard foodie, so after a few days of cooking campside, I like to head into town for a nice local meal. There’s 2 great places I could recommend, right off RT. 10, due south of Lakeview RV Resort– either Puff Belly’s Brewery, Pizza& Grill(great live review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b55Vs2hnJk4&t=7s) or Fried Green Tomato, which lives up to its reputation as the Best Fried Green Tomatoes in the South(https://www.tasteofthesouthmagazine.com/souths-best-fried-green-tomatoes/). 

  Overall, for the price, convenience and location, Lakeview RV Resort isn’t a bad spot for a night to take a break. 

  Happy Camping!

  Blue Heron Escape RV Resort

  Wonderful!

  The Blue Heron Escape RV resort is one of the newest RV camping options in Foley, AL. It is the perfect location for beachgoers and explorers to enjoy Alabama's Gulf Coast. It is approximately 6 miles from Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. Additionally, the location is perfectly distanced to avoid the hustle and bustle of tourists, and it is close to shopping. 

  The owners, Scott and Gayle, are very involved with the resort and make the time to welcome you to the park. They are continually looking for ways to improve their guest's experiences.

Local tv received easily. Sites level but mostly dirt. Fire rings and they deliver your firewood to your site. Will be back.

  Bay Palms RV Resort

  Not our style but appears to be a very nice RV park

  If RV parks are your thing, you will likely enjoy staying here. I would rate it a 4 based on friendliness of staff and amenities but lower on location and layout (parking lot style). This is simply because of the fact that we travel in our campervan and only wish to spend a limited amount of time IN our van as opposed to larger RVs that are more conducive to staying inside.

  Rates vary from $35/night full gravel back-in during the winter to $55/night for a premium pull-through in the summer. Weekly rates are also available. Military and Good Sam discounts are also given. 

  Amenities include a heated pool, community room, dog park, gym (new equipment was being delivered the day I visited) and new laundry appliances due to be delivered. This RV park is located on the road to Dauphin Island, about eight miles away. I don’t think you would be on your way to/from anywhere so it is not likely you would stay here as a stopover but if you were coming with a group or escaping the winter, this might be a nice place for you.

  Chickasabogue Park - Temporarily Closed

  Peaceful

  This is a nice campground. It has RV hookup, tent sites, and site with just electric and water hookup for campers or tents. We stayed in site 11. We had two large tents. Each site has picnic table and fire ring and small open type grill. Several bathhouses. Playgrounds ball fields and also a roped off swimming area. The swimming area has sidewalk almost to the beach area but the ground all the way to the sand is hard so wheelchair's, strollers, ice chest, and anything with wheels is perfect. Nice covered patios with tables near swimming area. Nice boat launch and plenty of fishing

  Dockside RV Resort

  Clean, quiet, & great location

  Very nice rv park. All have full hookups including sewer. Lots at gravel and level with plenty of room to park your camper & tow vehicle. Swimming g pool is nice, there is also a large fire pit. We arrived late and we’re offered help setting up since it was getting dark. WiFi is good enough for Roku & Hulu. Fishing dock is right across the street and we were only 25 minutes from Dauphin Island.

  Cajun RV Park

  Great value and beach location

  Stayed one night not reserved in a 21 ft motorhome with full hook up. Staff was great and even security on site. Had a nice shaded lot but not very private. See photos for amenities. Laundry and bath house/ restrooms very clean but not recently updated. Dog area great - fenced with double entry gate, water provided, grassed and shaded.

  Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp Resort - Alabama Gulf Coast

  Not Jellystone Quality

  Came here expecting Jellystone experience with lots of activities. They have none. Temper your expectations to be a campground with a playground. When we pulled into our assigned spot the water and electricity hookups were oddly placed (site 74 I think). On top of that, the permanent resident in the spot next to the one we were to be in had their pickup parked in what would be our “backyard,” had a tarp on our fire pit, and had moved and taken over what would have been our picnic table. I went and asked for a different site because of this! The outside edge spots seem to be more permanent long term people and the inner ones more short term. Pool was open but very cold.

  All About Relaxing RV Park, Mobile, AL

  Top Rated RV Resort

  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. The park is quite and the staff is super. One of the best parks that we have stayed at, ever.

  The article blast came while we were here add precautions were made. We were here visiting family and did not participate in the activities that they offered as we were not on property during those times.

  We highly recommend this family owned RV Resort!

  Riverside RV Resort

  Peaceful surroundings

  This RV Resort is quiet and peaceful. The bathroom/shower house is locked at night. There is a river with beautiful clear water. There is a place to grill out and to hang out. There is a deck that overlooks the river. The camp hosts are friendly and super helpful. I loved it there. It is convenient to I-10 and to the Foley Beach Express. I’m looking forward to staying there again. It was always quiet and peaceful at night and most of the time during the day as well.

  Ok for one night

  I know there are new owners but when I pulled in there was no one in the office. They had a lot of long term people with some pretty old rigs. Did not like the place at all and I moved on.

  The Retreat RV & Campground On Styx River

  Welcoming

  The retreat offers several amenities including showers, laundromat, and gas grills. There are even bouncy houses and playgrounds for the kids.

  It's located on the river and they have a pet beach separate so even your dogs can enjoy the water.

  The camp manager is nice and very helpful. They are definitely a great asset.

  Full service hookups are currently limited as they work on an expansion, but they do have plenty of water/power hookups both off and on the river. There's also a cabin, glamping tents, and a tiny house. There are plenty of shaded spots.

  There are a few long term residents who are friendly and welcoming.

  I definitely recommend this campground for a fun, relaxing stay.

  Sun Outdoors Orange Beach

  Pandion Ridge is now Sun Outdoors OB

  This is a super nice RV Resort. Very clean and perfectly landscaped. Pads are large and concrete. All pedestals are up to date and water pressure is adequate at 45 psi. Cable is digital (60+ channels). AT&T phone signal is not great, but adequate. WiFi is not great, at least not at site 137, however we are in a newly developed area and may be better older areas. Amenities are fine. Two pools, hot tub, two well stocked fishing lakes, volleyball, pickle ball, horse shoes, two pet runs, laundry, club room, bath house, and more. Have visited here several times, and will surely return.

  Ahoy RV Resort

  Fun time!

  We had a great time at Ahoy RV Resort! We rode bikes around the campground and outside of the campground on the surrounding dirt roads. They have volleyball, basketball and tennis courts, and tetherball. If you don’t have a volleyball or basketball, they have some equipment at the store that appears like you can borrow or rent. The kids had fun at the pool. Our neighbors were great! The staff was great. We didn’t do much in terms of “community” activities but they did have some evening stuff going on. There was a beautiful fog that came early morning. All around good time. Would return again. Also, there’s a fun little dog park!

  Mobile Oaks RV Resort

  Name has changed

  This park is now Mobile west. They are still going through some changes. Pretty quiet park with security gates and cameras. Alot of nice size trees with a 14 acre lake and swimming pool. They sell propane on site also. Alot of long term worker campers but it's been a nice month here. I recommend to drive to Dauphin island (about 20 to 30 min).

  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.

  Nice, quiet place with no amenities central to everything

  This was a no frills campground with full hook up. Close to the USS Alabama Mem. Park and about an hour to Gulf Shores. About a half hour to Dauphin Island. Stayed 12 days while WFC. Mike, the property mgr. was great. Gave us good recommendations on places to go, people to see, off-site firewood and even lent us his firepit. ATT and Verizon were excellent for working from camper

  Gulf State Park Campground

  So much to dp

  Full hook ups and most of the sites are well spaced. You can get a bay view but they go quick. Sites are mostly level. Great camp store that is well stocked. The staff is great and always ready to help,

  Best part was being able to bike to the beach and no charge with your site pass. There are tons of walking and biking paths that go on for many miles. Perfect place for a seaside adventure.

  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.
