Operated by Mobile County, this park offers a rustic escape for those looking to disconnect from the bustle of modern travel. The grounds are defined by lush forests and scenic water access, providing a peaceful environment that prioritizes nature and outdoor recreation over the manicured, resort-style amenities found in commercial campgrounds.
Location & Surroundings
Located just north of Mobile, the park offers a convenient base for exploring the Alabama Gulf Coast while remaining nestled in a quiet, forested setting.

Mind Set On Travel
Wanted a nice hike to take from All Trails and found this hike in Cemetery Loop and Indian Loop. Just under 4 miles it was a nice hike. There are camp ground, RV sites, playgrounds with jungle gym’s basketball courts. They also have a Frisbee golf course in the woods which follows the hike path. Also loved all inspirational guidance signs along the pathway. Enjoy.

Beautiful trails with wide, sturdy access ramps, forest meditation opportunities, outdoor fitness equipment, full RV hookups, optional overhead lighting at sites and at electrical hookup posts, and even curbside trash pickup. I would 100% stay again.

Top notch place. Trails are wonderful and the basketball courts is the best we've seen through our travels along the gulf coast region. We will return next year for sure and camp as well. Planned improvements will be nice to see in the beach area when completed.

We've been here almost 3 weeks. The only reason I downgraded to 4 stars and not 5 is the noise coming from I-65. If the wind is from the West it isn't bad at all, but if it comes out of the East it is rather loud. I've had to run a sound machine at night trying to sleep to cover up the noise. The whole Park was revamped this past year and is wonderful. Level concrete pads, new blacktop road, all new electrical circuits, all new water. Security gates into the park and also into the campground area. They have touchpad controls. They have good electricity here and 5G Verizon cell phone service. There are miles and miles of trails to run or hike, and I think they have three or four 18 hole frisbee courses,the playground is all new and has the rubber matting. New bathroom facilities in both the playground area and the campground. Washer and dryer facilities included. The ONLY drawback is the road noise. A campground itself is very peaceful, except for the traffic noise. If you do make it here, be sure to see the USS Alabama. It's only 10 minutes from here and well worth the visit.

Overnight stay while traveling through the area. Very pleased with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Beautiful campsite with plenty of room to back our 34 ft 5th wheel into. Would definitely stay here again.
