We like Meaher Camp for its convenience for fishing on the Mobile Bay. But it is not necessarily a friendly place for children because you cannot swim in the bay due to alligators. Also, we didn't see any signs that were posted about the danger of alligators and we saw three of them while we were there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This small campground is in a 1300 acre day-use park used primarily by picnickers and bird watchers. It has few amenities -- plastic pit toilets without showers and picnic tables, but not much else. But it is a pretty park on the bay -- and it's very quiet (except for the background noise of I-10 not far away). It sits across the bay from Mobile, and downtown is less than 10 minutes away, so it is very handy for visiting Mobile attractions. Note that the park is open only from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. and then they lock the gate so you must arrive before 4 (if you're camping they give you the combination). We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet for several nights while making day trips to Mobile. We camped here in a Motorhome.
