Meaher State Park

This state park isn't much more than a campground, but a nice campground overall. Unusual for a state park campground with full hookups, but will make longer stays more convenient. Great location on the water and near downtown Mobile. We had lots of wind coming off the bay which kept it comfortable, but lots of ants too. Bathrooms well maintained. Decent spacing between sites but limited trees/brush separating as in many SPs.

More of a rv resort feel than a state park in our experience. All sites were visible from one another only a few trees scattered throughout the park.

Bathrooms were nice but a good walk from your spot and confusing paths to them that led you through others campsites.

Nice boardwalk out to the bay to observe gators and all sorts of bird life. You can hear the traffic on I-10 bridge just across from the campground but it was not terrible.

We really want to explore more of this area of Alabama and would us this as a base point in the future.

Great staff!

We stayed here in January of 2022 for 5 nights. Had a waterfront side, but towards the East end of the CG. The other sites along the water were all great! Loads of huge RVs here and no shrubs or much between the sites. Little meandering trails behind the CG and a cool boardwalk (short boardwalk) and fishing pier. We did see one alligator to the West of the pier on a little beach. Very clean. Nice long site to fit our truck in front of our trailer. A few Geocaches in the park and some really nice Alabama State Parks swag in them. The Piggly Wiggly in Fairhope was nicer than the one in Spanish Fort (especially if you like craft beer). Laundry facilites, but yes I think only one dryer was working. All in all, nice & clean, but more of an RV park feel to me. For a video of the campground, click on the videos button!

Campground manger and camp hosts were always helpful, including accepting packages. Plenty to do around plus re-supply options like Walmart, sams, Rouse grocery, Ford dealer. Great seafood at Felix. Also go see the battleship. Worth the money. All the major OTA tv. We had less internet bars as others but phone and Fire Tv were fine. You can always hear I-10 but you get used to it. We will come back on our next trip through.

We stayed here for a week. Pros: On the water with a handful of sites backing to the water, full hookups, good AT&T and Verizon signal, short trails, not far from I-10. Cons: terrible water pressure at times (20 psi), not much to do in park itself, wifi was available but usually weak, gunshot type noises to scare the birds that also terrified my dog every day. They had a nice boardwalk over the water and birding was really good. We got a bunch of OTA channels. The staff was really friendly. They have a laundry room, but a sign on the door saying the machines are old and they suggest some laundry mats in the area. Groceries stores and restaurants were 10 minutes away or less. We would stay here again. Some of the sites backing to the water were close together, but our site (54) had good space and I thought it was one of the best sites. The pull throughs are parallel to the road and not private at all.

This is definitely a nice state park, but more like an RV park. Everything about it is pretty good (access, paved pads, full hookups, clean bathrooms, laundry facilities) but we are used to being a little more secluded in nature. It's just not as peaceful and serene as some other state parks that we've been to, but the location is great. Only negatives to report are 1. low water pressure at site 2. shower water temp is HOT and can't be adjusted 3. three washing machines and only one (functioning) dryer.

40 foot 5th wheel fit comfortably in large, paved pads with room for truck to back in. Easy access from highway, without highway noise. Our spot backed right up to the water - a few bugs but not bad.
Camp host was very nice and the entire park was so clean! Warned us about alligators but didn’t see any during our stay.
Reception was great for Verizon and AT&T. Most state parks just have water and electricity, this one had full hook ups!
Could have spent all day at the Battleship in Mobile! Close to Publix, Whole Foods, and other shops.
Can’t wait to come back during the summer for a nice vacation!

Big State Park with widely spaced sites offering FHU right on Mobile Bay. Fifteen minutes from Daphne and Fairhope and a bit further to Alabama Beaches or Mobile itself. Good Wi-Fi, cell and satellite along with several OTA channels.

Challenging to reach anyone by phone. Friendly staff at check-in and comprehensive email communication ahead of arrival. Area is gated and locked at night but there is a gate code for late arrivals.
