Mound Island Cruise leaves from Live Oak Landing in Stockton, AL, but you book it here. Fantastic experience from Park Director Mike Bunn and crew. Had a wonderful time on January 24, 2026.

We had an amazing time at Blakely State Park! We stayed in the Kennedy Cabin, and it was super nice and very clean. The trails and scenery were absolutely beautiful, making every ride and walk feel like an experience, not just an activity. The staff truly stood out. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. When the heater in our cabin broke, they were on it immediately and had it repaired in less than an hour, which we really appreciated. The covered stalls were stellar, nicely built, and clearly designed with care and quality in mind. We can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this park for anyone looking for great facilities, beautiful surroundings, and outstanding service!

Very nice park to walk, learn, camp, bike, etc. Clean restrooms. No trash. The RV area was s little loud until 1000PM but then it stopped. Thank you for quiet hours. Only minimal leveling is needed at some sites. I drove my 31 foot class A all the way to the river and had no issues. I'd be concerned if it was very crowded because that might prevent the rig from turning around but there a few places that are ample turn arounds with a short walk. The last 3/4 mile to the river is dirt.

Very peaceful, safe and quiet place to camp. Bath houses are brand new and very clean. Love riding the bicycles here, and there's so much to do in the surrounding areas. Gorgeous Mobile Bay is right in the background down by the Riverwalk. I could sit here all day.
