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.

Love love loved it. Great location. Awesome people. Site was perfect. We even extended a couple of days because we didnt want to leave. Ocean access to the prettiest beach I’ve ever seen.

Campground is okay. Spaces vary a lot and you can’t designate a space, at least not before you arrive. However, the location is awesome! Beach is dog friendly as are all the trails nearby. You can walk forever. There are several bird sanctuaries designated on the island and all have forested trails. The one next to the campground is a bird watchers paradise. Fort Gains is worth a look, as is the aquarium, all a short walk from the campground. We loved our stay on Dauphin Island.

Campsites are spacious and there are lots of trees, but facilities are old and a little worn and WiFi is offered but almost unusable. Easy bike ride up and down the island. Easy access to beach. I recommend this park and would stay here again, but 3 stars only because of above issues

We stayed two weeks and enjoyed every minute. Laundry is convenient and so nice, beach is a short walk away, friendly people, walking distance to Fort Gaines and sea lab. Be sure to take ferry over to Fort Morgan and Gulf Shores

Nice place to stay. We called the day of our stay and they were able to get us in. Could not book online which is the only reason it is not a 5 star in my book. You also can’t show up after 6pm, would be nice to have late check ins. Camp cites are extremely close to the beach which is awesome! Bathroom was clean and very nice showers!
