    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.

    Beach front

    This beach front campground is beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. Under new ownership they seem friendly and helpful. Dog friendly park that is away from the major city hubs, nothing but the beach is walkable. Our site was level with a grill, fire pit, picnic table and a wooden deck.

    Blakeley State Park Campground

    Very large park, hiking, camping, battlegrounds

    Blakely State Park is a very large State Park, with different choices for camping. There are larger primitive tent sites, smaller tent sites with power/water hookups, RV sites, two primitive cabins and 2 newer cabins which are very nice. There's TONS of hiking, a battleground for history buffs, a playground, a boatdock, lots of hiking, horseback riding etc.

    I stayed in one of the two Squirrels Nest, which are primitive cabins. Basically open air cabins. 2 walls, a roof and 2 walls of screens. There are two wooden platforms for beds. A twin and a queen, and barstools to sit inside and look out into the woods, over the hill in which they are nestled. There's a sink (but no water) and a cabinet, and outside a large deck with bench seating. Below is a fire pit and picnic table. There is a shared porta potty outside of the two cabins. These cabins are a bit of a drive out in the woods, so make sure your vehicle is up to it. It's very peaceful out there. My cabin was inhabited by mice at night, so I kept my food in airtight plastic paint bucket containers & my belongings covered by garbage bags on one of the platforms and had my air mattress inside a pop-up mosquito tent, so the mice did not bother me. I was after all in their house. I sprinkled peppermint oil around my gear & my bed platform to keep the mice away. Next time I will have my food in a large cooler so that the wildlife is not attracted.

    There are hiking trails by these sites, as well as, steps down the hill, leading off into another trail.

    i would stay there again. Great place to get away.

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

    Enjoyed so much we stayed an extra night!

    We stayed at Jellystone this past weekend and ended up staying a third night (unplanned). We had a lot of fun. The kids loved all of the Saturday activities. Campsites have a fire pit, so we made s’mores. They have a store with everything we needed, which was really nice. The staff was great and accommodating. And bonus - you can earn Yogi points! The roads are gravel and it hurts the feet when walking barefoot..so make sure you wear your shoes!

    Zen Rustic Tiny Cabin - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

    Great peaceful cabin

    We had a great vacation at this cabin. It was full of supplies and goodies. Bed is and pillows were super comfortable. Cabin is beautiful decorated with lights and candles. The property is very peaceful, full of trees and plants. There were recliners and seats throughout the place for us to relax. We enjoyed the nature and birdwatching the most. Bathroom was impeccable clean at all times. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. He gave us our privacy and was available at all times when we needed him. I will 1000% recommend this place and will for sure be coming back.

    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.

    Coldwater Gardens

    Awesome Glamping spot!

    Nice for a romantic getaway or for families. Lots to do. Little farm area with chickens and trials to hike. Stuff on-site is amazing. They even have a tree house you can rent out!

    Gulf Shores-Pensacola West KOA

    Not great, but not horrible.

    This KOA isn't the greatest but it isn't one of the worst I've stayed at. I'd stay again, but only if there wasn't camping availability around the area except for here.

    Pros: Location on the bay - 👌 Pool/hot to on site Close to fuel stations Close to main roads to get you where you want to go (Gulf Shores, Pensacola, etc)

    Cons: Office closes at 6, good luck if you have issues after that during check-in Very very few fire pits - I saw maybe 5 and they were in premium sites that are closer to 80 a night or more. Not worth it Sites were extremely close together The campground itself is small

Guide to Stockton

Glamping options around Stockton, Alabama offer private outdoor immersion with modern comforts in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta region. This low-lying coastal area features diverse wetland ecosystems where visitors can explore waterways between 10-30 feet above sea level. Sites range from primitive tent platforms to fully-equipped cabins with varied seasonal availability from March through November.

What to do

History exploration trails: Blakeley State Park Campground features 26 miles of trails through historic civil war sites. One visitor noted, "You will walk through historic civil war sites, trails that were once the streets of the town of Blakeley. A beautiful hike on boardwalks along the Blakeley River then through a swamp on deep into woods amongst ancient oaks."

Boat excursions: Meaher State Park Campground offers water access points for exploring the Mobile Delta. A camper shared, "This park is in the middle of the delta, giving easy access to the water and lovely views. Trails are short but the boardwalk connecting the two parts of the park is incredible. Plan to spend your time on the water."

Wildlife viewing: Morning and evening hours provide optimal wildlife spotting from glamping sites. "We heard coyotes at a distance which was amazing. Woke up to begin the junior ranger packet for our kiddos and hiked and explored all day," mentioned one visitor about their Blakeley State Park experience.

Seasonal activities: Many glamping locations host special events during summer months. "The park offers seasonal events including food trucks providing dining options," one camper noted. Another mentioned, "We were super happy at the food truck that was there so we didn't have to go off site for lunch."

What campers like

Private sites: Blue Angel Park offers secluded glamping yurts with waterfront views. A camper described, "The tent campsites were nice - platforms, waterfront view, grill, and a little tree house. We look forward to returning!"

Family-friendly amenities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp Resort provides structured activities for children. "We stayed at Jellystone this past weekend and ended up staying a third night (unplanned). We had a lot of fun. The kids loved all of the Saturday activities," one visitor mentioned.

Serene environments: Most glamping locations prioritize quiet hours. A camper at Blakeley noted, "Two nights under stars and immaculate quiet. We set up at dark and the stillness was so calming. We had a group with a baby next to us so we were trying to be extra quiet but everyone was so behaved."

Water recreation: Multiple glamping sites offer water access. "If you bring a horse, a bike, or good hiking shoes this is the perfect spot for you," one reviewer commented about Blakeley State Park's diverse recreational options.

What you should know

Site selection matters: The Retreat RV & Campground On Styx River offers varying site conditions. A visitor advised, "Make sure you bring leveling blocks, some of the sites are fairly level while others are not. Our site sloped down towards the river and we needed extra blocks to place under our tires and stabilizers."

Bathroom facilities vary: Some glamping sites have limited facilities. "Bathrooms were fine, no sinks but sanitizer and again water at our site," noted one camper about Blakeley State Park.

Weather considerations: The Gulf Coast climate affects camping conditions. "Friday night it rained and was quiet. Saturday the park was very busy, partly because things were finally opening up after quarantine," mentioned a camper about seasonal patterns.

Reservation timing: Popular glamping sites fill quickly during peak seasons. "Hard to get into this park, so best to reserve early!" warned one visitor about Gulf Coast RV Park.

Tips for camping with families

Junior ranger programs: Blakeley State Park Campground offers educational activities for children. A parent shared, "Woke up to begin the junior ranger packet for our kiddos (provided at checkout) and hiked and explored all day. We were super happy at the food truck that was there so we didn't have to go off site for lunch."

First-time fishing: Several glamping locations have stocked ponds for beginners. "My daughter even caught her first big ole catfish right off the boat launch!" exclaimed one parent about Blue Angel Park.

Kid-friendly amenities: Look for sites with playgrounds and organized activities. "Kids swam in the pool and played in the playground. We will be back!" noted a visitor to Jellystone Park.

Pack appropriate clothing: Temperature variations require layering options. "We were there for Mother's Day weekend, which was cooler than normal with lows in the 50s," mentioned one camper about spring conditions.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: All About Relaxing RV Park offers level sites with concrete pads. A reviewer noted, "The sites are level and hook-ups are convenient. Nice landscaping exists between each site. The park is very quiet, peaceful and relaxing."

Hookup variations: Check for appropriate electrical connections. "If you need a 50amp site you will have to call the office to ensure you can secure one, as we just booked online and our spot was a 30amp," warned a camper at The Retreat RV & Campground.

Navigation challenges: Some glamping sites have narrow access roads. "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," shared one RVer.

Security considerations: Gated glamping locations provide additional peace of mind. "Pretty quiet park with security gates and cameras. A lot of nice size trees with a 14 acre lake and swimming pool," mentioned a visitor to Mobile Oaks RV Resort.
