Big Lagoon State Park

Very friendly staff. Not all sites are the same size. Site 2 is small but fits a Casita easily. We had site 41 which was nice and large. Bushes between sites makes it nice for privacy and helps to make it feel large. They have a cool observation deck that you can get nice views of the lagoon. Bathrooms and showers are nice and clean. Close enough to sights like naval museum, fort Pickens, johnson beach, tarklin bayou.

Nice quiet park, we visited while there were bad rain storms in the area. Some of the sites had washed out. Not many sites for big rigs. Check the site specs to make sure it fits your camper. 48 sits up on a hill so no problem with the rains, 60 is very shallow and uneven, partial washout with the rains so they moved us to 9. Overall loop 1, sites 1-12 are the most level. Restrooms very clean. Hiking and biking down to the boat ramp and beach. Close to town, just 9 miles to orange beach.

We stayed during the T-Day holiday in late November. Many of the sites are unpaved, some are unlevel, many are paved or partially paved. There are lots of trails to explore, but some are still closed due to hurricane damage years ago. The brush between the campsites makes them feel more secluded. It’s fairly close to town and close to a NAS so the Blue Angels fly over!

While portions of the park remain closed, a large portion of the trail is open and you can bike or ride down to the boat ramp & water access. Sites are private and the bathrooms are in quite good shape. Do your research about the site numbers based on your rig. We have a 35' 5th wheel and fit easily into site 30. No issues with good power or water. Great cell signal with T-Mobile. I was able to work without issue for the whole 2 weeks.
Close proximity to Pensacola or Gulf Shores with plenty of great places to eat and drink. Can't wait to get back once the whole park is open.

We were grateful to find this campground open without reservations as we traveled through the area.

It has clearly been impacted by hurricanes and is in the process of renovating which we are very thankful for.

Our spot was very small for our 28 foot Airstream with a steep decline towards the road. Campground mixed tent spots and rv spots together which I think put us in a spot which would have been much more suited for tent campers.

Nice hiking trail to observe birds and waterways.

Would only use this as a pass through stay not a extended stay area. Brand new Aldi's grocery store just opened while we were there convenient on way to and from park.

Check-in was great with amazingly friendly attendant! In fact everyone who works here was very nice. Our site was a little tight parking as our truck was blocking the one way road until we unhooked. Just enough room beside our RV to fit the truck in.
The site has 30 amp and water, no sewer. No biggie as we travel with a tote if we need to empty our tanks before our stay. With a 2 in 1 washer dryer combo, we can go through the water pretty quick! Our site 11 was pretty level, but we still used one plank under the wheels to get it closer to level before the auto level system is deployed. We don't want the wheels coming off the ground at all!
No WiFi, and we got between 1 and 2 bars Verizon most of the week. Not great, but certainly livable. The hiking trails were good right from our site, so that was nice.
There is a Publix a couple of miles from the campground and a nice golf course that I played on the 31st in Perdido Key.
For $22 a day, the value from this park is off the charts good!
