Very rustic. The roads are gravel and a bit rough. The sites are gravel and unlevel. It is like camping in a national forest but with full hook ups. There are no restroom/bath facilities. The park is VERY quiet. There was only two other campers there during our visit. We will stay elsewhere next time. A bit too rustic for us. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park could be good if they finished it, and knew how to set up a site. THe sites are long enough for a 40 footer, but the cuts getting in and out are impossible to make without backing up several times to miss the power pedestals that are very poorly placed. Grass around the sites were not trimmed, and only added to the already bad insect problem. Our traveling companions had to move a lot of cut branches that blocked their site - they could not get in without doing so. I attempted to dump, and the system backed up and blew my hose 3 feet up in the air - never seen that one before - after sneaking up and cracking the valve slowly, I could dump, but never with the valves wide open. It's a shame that this park is in the condition that it is in - appears to be reasonably new, but it has never really been finished. We stayed one night, and in our travels found Meher State aprk 5 miles down the road - night and day difference. For the price and condition, we felt this park was not worth another visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.
New. NO RESTROOM FACILITIES 50A, sewage at every site. VERY wooded. Beautiful. Good gate service. Small mosquito's BAD. About 10 miles from Mobile will return, many times. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful park on Mobile Bay - we stayed 1 week after a total disaster in another state park 5 miles away. Weekly rate is $15 a night - a real steal for level paved sites, beautiful view, and a very clean and well maintained campground. One of the staff members, Christie, was a wealth of information for us, and made our stay in the area very pleasant. Pull throughs are plenty long for a 40 footer with toad, and the backins are just as big. Satellite is tough in the pull throughs, but the rest of the park looks good. Showers and laundry are excellent and very clean. We definitely will stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park looks like it was just built. In fact, they had some construction materials stored in a picnic shelter near our site, so I guess they're still working on it. Some of the sites are paved and some are on grass, which are less expensive. We had one of the paved sites and it was nice and level as you would expect. They have a nice fishing pier. Everything was shiny, clean, and quiet. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed for Mother's Day weekend and found the park to be very clean, the staff is very friendly, and the other campers, are family friendly. The pier is nice and great for fishing, they have a separate bathroom right next to the pier. The bathhouse and laundry are very clean. There's no pool and no swimming but there is plenty to do, such as fish and alligator watch. Also 5 rivers complex is across the street and they rent kayaks and canoes, they also have an am cafe. There's also several great seafood places in the area, that are family friendly and most offer live music on the weekends. - 10 minutes from downtown Mobile... http://www.mobile.org/ The weekly rate is 15 a night, the daily/weekend rate is 35 a night and they do take reservations. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
They have completely redone this park All sites are now paved with 30 or 50 amp, sewer, and water. Many are directly on Mobile Bay. There are brand new bath houses too. They also raised their rates to $30 a night which is a bit steep for this park. You can stay at Gulf State Park for the same price. But, that said, these are very nice upgrades and we will stop in again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
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.
