Convenient, Full Hook Up, Nice Shade...but nasty showers & dog off leash...

Passed through one night stay.  Convenient to get to off I-10, shady spot and full hook up.  Should have used our own shower, but I like to look around......not good.  Code to use the shower wasn't necessary because door wasn't shut and locked, shower was NASTY, but they did provide your own personal brillo pad for cleaning.....Wait, that wasn't a brillo pad!......lol.  Walked dogs in the morning to have to retreat back to camper due to pit bull running around off leash.  Probably won't be back.

GREAT FOR A QUICK OVERNIGHT STAY

We were passing through on our way to Florida and made an overnight stop here. Just 5 minutes from Interstate 10, but no traffic noise! We stayed in site 25. Slightly unlevel gravel, drive through spot, not enough to worry about blocking. Good amount of shade! Trash can available at each site. Full hookups and cable. A very clean bath house and laundry, along with a small lounge area is located a very short walk from this site. Although this park has mostly full time campers, it is clean and the people are very friendly.

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
