Campground is quiet and peaceful. The boardwalk to the beach is a nice touch. The bathrooms were clean and the water was hot. I do wish there was pool

So far it has been pretty good. The staff has been friendly and helpful. However when we arrived someone else was hooked to our electric and there is dog feces where someone isnt cleaning up after their dog. It is a nice place other than that though

My family and I absolutely LOVE DI campground! After discovering this place in 2020 it quickly became our go to summer spot. We have vacationed here for the last 6 years, and stayed longer each time we came. Most of the sites are spacious. The staff has always been incredible. My kids make new friends here every summer at the playground. We enjoy the short walk through the bird sanctuary that leads out to our sanctuary (the beach). Amenities are constantly being upgraded. In our personal opinion there is no where better to spend a summer.

It’s a great location, but if you like peace and quiet, this is not the place for you. The campers are packed in like sardines. There are so many dogs that it’s loud most of the day starting around 6am. I love animals, but that was a lot of noise. With the campers so close, it felt like there was zero privacy. Between the noise from the kids at the playground, the animals, and whatever construction is going on at the beach at all hours, not to mention the ferry horn all day long, it was not enjoyable. I cut my trip short and just went home. I have 9 indoor rescue dogs myself, so I love animals. That should tell you how loud the campground was. It is in a prime location though. Bathroom facilities were ok. I just used my camper because there was always a line to shower. The staff was very nice. I just prefer state parks with more space.

I've camped here many times for the combination of laid back beach vibe, woods, and history, coupled with terrific migratory birdwatching. And don't miss getting some fresh seafood or steamed takeout from nearby Skinner's Seafood.

A nice quiet campground just a short walk to the beach a shorter walk to the bird sanctuary. The staff are all amazing and friendly go out of the way to help out.

We stumbled across this place while traveling and needed a place to sleep. We chose this on a whim and ended up staying on the island for two nights because this campground gave us a welcoming and safe place to lay our head while explored the island. The ladies that work the shop and registration desk were full of helpful insights and seems happy to hand them out. We rearranged our trip on advice that they gave and we're happy that we did. We tent camped and while the sites are pretty much on top of each other as everything is in this RV park it didn't matter since everyone was respectful to the noise curfew and friendly. We spent most of our time away from the campsite so we didn't get to use most of the facilities such as the community center which hosted a magic show and a dance the weekend we were there. There is a dedicated fish cleaning station so that the bathrooms stay clean. We were able to take a short walk out to the beach one night and see the sunset.

We have always had a wonderful experience at Dauphin Island campground. The office staff is always friendly and helpful. We love the easy access to the beach, the fort, the aquarium, and BGH Cafe. The laundry area, bathrooms, and showers are very clean and the grounds are well maintained. Can't wait to return.

We absolutely love this campground. The bath house and laundry room is clean, the beach is gorgeous and the workers are friendly.

Spent 4 days Mid May (Tuesday afternoon thru Saturday late morning). Pretty quiet. Our site was shaded by a large tree but had to deal with the roots, not a big deal. The campground is dog friendly but be prepared for the campground cats that roam around. Mosquitoes came out just after sunset. The bathrooms and showers were clean. Easy walk to the beach.

I’m from Louisiana. We have a lot of wonderful campgrounds. So for me to give Dauphin Island Campground a five star, indicates that it’s remarkable. Pros- friendly staff, Donna, Nicole and Chasity. Walking distance to a private campground beach (pets allowed)! Bird Sanctuary, Historic Fort, and Aquarium all in walking distance. No fee to visit the Fort or Bird Sanctuary. Lots of trees, shade. Birds of blue, yellow, black, and red all in the campground. All birds are well fed by the campers. There are more birds at the campground than at the Sanctuary. Lots of colorful, beautiful beach houses. Peaceful. Friendly Alabama and Colorado neighbors. Southern Hospitality is the best. We ate at Pirate’s Pizza. Really good pizza! We went the week of Easter. The campground was full. But we didn’t see a large amount of people moving around. Cons: Water pressure was low. But doable.

We came in April 2025. First time here. Cute campground but they shoved us in between 2 campers and it was slim. We have a 36 ft Class A. Had to listen to the road and view a ferry port. Not enough to do on the island but if you want a slow pace, this is for you.

This was a very wonderful experience. The entire island was wonderful! Food, stores, trails, beaches, bike path, and art. We found an purchased unique pieces of art. So lovely. The aquarium all of it! Our family enjoyed it very much. Couldn't have been any friendlier either very nice folks here. Good campground, good people, and good memories to hold. Only problem we have....is... We have to leave boo...nay ..nag. lol. Can't wait to come back.
