It must have been one that they tried to “fit in!” Barely wide enough for our car and 16’ trailer and I needed 20’ of sewer hose to reach. The picnic table was a ways off the parking area and definitely too far to be useful. Full hookups which is good because the only bathrooms/showers are Omer in the tent camping area. That said, this is a beautiful park. Take the time to read the information about the Civil War battle here and drive down to the boardwalk. Beautiful and interesting.

It is hard to believe that this park is less than 15 miles from Mobile Al. It is boon docking with full hook ups. We had tree canopy and very dark and quiet at night. IMHO a gem for 35$/ night.

For the price, this park is unbelievable! Our site (I think it was #16 or 17) was a HUGE looping pull-through surrounded completely by trees and felt very private and had full hookups. It looked like most others were laid out similarly. They could have easily turned each site into two back-in sites, so it's nice that they didn't which gave each a lot more space.
The RV campground was easy to navigate and is relatively small compared to the overall size of the park which is mainly made up of hiking and biking trails and historic Civil War battlefields. The remains of a Civil War fort and trenches were really interesting to walk by and the historical markers were well-written and informative.
The town of Spanish Fort is a quick drive from the park and has everything you need. Downtown Mobile, the city of Daphne and the USS Alabama are all within a 30 minute drive with many things to see and do.
Cell service at the park was great giving us enough data to work remotely.
We'd definitely consider staying here again when visiting friends in the area!

We booked last minute and were able to get 3 nights to be close to family in Mobile. Our site wasn’t completely level but we were able to position our camper that gave us a cozy setup. Fire bit with grill was nice. Large picnic table and we were near enough to the potty to let the kids go on their own. Wooded area and spacious sites. We had more than enough room for our travel trailer and two vehicles. The park was fun to walk around with Civil War history to see. Loved the boardwalk along the river at sunset.

“Very Private Sites”

It was a quick in and out for us so I didn't get much time to explore. Easy in and out of the park with a supermarket close by for last minute things. Very wooded so reception was so-so. Plenty of trails and history. I couldn't find a bathroom close to the site so if you are not self contained that might be a problem.

We spent a month at this park. Sites are assigned at arrival, so you cannot choose your preference. Site 27 was great. Heavily wooded between our site and the neighboring site, creating a very private feel. It was unlevel and took some work to get the camper situated. We never were able to get cinoletelt level, but it worked out. We did not use the bath houses, but they are located quite a long distance from the rv sites. The trails are wonderful! I do agree with the previous reviewer regarding the park map. It could definitely be more informative, but it was enough to keep us on track. We spent many hours hiking and enjoying the sites. The boardwalk area is beautiful! Cell signal was spotty and tree coverage was too dense for starlink. Overall, it's a great place if you love to be in nature. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

As a full/times I have stayed in state parks throughout the US. This by far is the worst.
Sites assigned at entry; you need to beg to be moved if there are available sites.
Showers are VERY basic and a 1+mi walk from
RV sites.
The park touts 25 mi of trails, but they don’t provide a trail map. AllTrails doesn’t have an accurate map. Trailheads are distant from RV sites.
Road biking basically impossible, gravel roads turn to deep sand and/or potholed and wash boarded.
Map provided at check isn’t detailed enough to show trails or how to get to historical sites. It doesn’t show camp sites. They’re higgly-piggly and not well signed. Date on map is 2013.
2 bars 5G on Verizon and full array of OTA tv.
Cell Tour is basically all advertising , not informative on history or natural features.

Great place to stay!!! Staff is super friendly and helpful Sites are not level but not to bad. My site was only 3" off. No bathhouse that I could find but had full hookups at site. T-mobile service is 5g but not reliable. Starlink 103 MB. We were in site 4. No frills but relaxing and fun.

Many of the sites are not very level, though ours was fine for our trailer. But a larger rig would have some trouble in site 15. Starlink was great, full hook ups, though the connections were not always conveniently situated. Lots of civil war history in this park and lots of great hiking trails. Decent sized sites and ours felt fairly private, the sites would feel much more private in the summer when the trees have leaves. We enjoyed this park alot.

We visited the USS Arizona Park (loved the submarine tour on the USS Drum!) and Fairhope, a beautiful town with great restaurants. Also the sites are far apart, have full hookups, and are all pull through. But they are not generally level. We had to work for 1/2 hour to find a spot on our site and level our trailer. There isn't a bathhouse in the RV camping area, only in the tent camping area more than a mile away. It is a long way to the Civil War site and the river. Maybe our feelings would have been different if the weather had been nicer. It was rather gloomy while we were there. We had minimal interaction with the staff. We had cell service there with occasional breaks in service.
