Escatawpa Hollow Park and Campground | Wilmer, AL

This is a new County park and the designers of this RV park clearly had their act together. The driveways are wide which makes big rig navigation easy .  The sites are level concrete pads and all are back-in.  There is even a beach area on the river. However we did not get to see or use it.  Utility are well laid out. Water pressure very good so make sure you use your water regulator. We will definitely stay here again. They have a very modern Laundry and Rest Room area - with free washing.

I took my service dog here to run the trails because there’s never anyone there and we like the solitude. Some workers were there and saw me with my dog. I have a lead on my service animal just in case, but he is always under my verbal command. He has been trained very well and is very smart. He knows when there is no one around us at all, he is allowed a little more distance away from me. Nothing crazy, and nothing more than 7-10 feet. He is always 1-2 ft next to me when there are people around. Always. Very well behaved. When I got close to the workers, they said hello to him directly, so I let him run ahead 7 or 8 feet to say hello to them. (He knows he has to be invited first and one of the workers tapped his leg like he was calling him over) I love to share him with people because it typically makes their day, and his too because he loves everybody. So it’s a win win. This was my mistake as I assumed the entire “crew” wanted to greet him. A young lady quietly said (even after she pet him too) that I needed to hold onto him or have him in a 6ft leash.  I looked around at the completely empty park, before I kindly reminded her that there was nobody there, but also stated to her that he was under my full control and she had nothing to worry about. She just replied with “That’s our policy. You need a 6ft leash.” The absurdity of the moment had me just walking away from her. My animal was well behaved and wasn’t bothering anyone, there wasn’t even anyone there for him to be able to bother anyways.  So I went to finish my run with my dog. When we got back around the 2nd time, I noticed they had called the cops. There was a squad car parked there and another one pulling in! An officer blocked my path as we were running and stopped me on the trail. He told me that I had to hold onto my dog…..who was running RIGHT NEXT TO ME the whole time not bothering anyone and under my full control. Being forced to stop my exercise due to the harassment, I let the officer know that he was my service animal and that he was 100% under my control. Which is 100% legal.  I was never asked if he was my service animal to begin with from the staff. My car (and the police cars) were the only cars in the entire lot. Completely empty park. So they created a situation, and then escalated their own perceived situation by calling the local authorities to further harass me. They really thought it was a good idea to call the police to harass a woman just trying to run with her well behaved service animal. Now I know why there is never anyone at this park. I mean, if this is the way they treat people minding their business and just trying to exercise, then who would want to go there? We sure won’t be going back.

We definitely will be returning, soon! The hosts are wonderful and even give a full page of local food/shopping/gas and hardware places.
Everything is exceptionally clean and the sites  are double wide !
This is a very safe, gated, RV park. We loved it.

We spent several days this Thanksgiving at the park. Would recommend this place as a top notch area for peaceful camping. By far one of the cleanest, well organized and amazing River area , playground and campsites for county owned facilities. Gave the 5 Stars but deserved 10.

Terrific park. Overnight area separate from day use and gated. Excellent facilities. Bathrooms and laundry extraordinarily clean and grounds very well kept. Really cute playground. Staff friendly and helpful. Little bit of road noise but not bad.  I’d stay there again.

Great place for Rv. Very clean. Free Laundry available. New bathrooms and showers. Walking distance to a cute beach. Pet friendly. Lots of places to walk around. Play area for kids. Level rv pads. Friendly staff. Loved it

Outstanding RV campground. We stay at a lot of state and private campgrounds, this is by far the gold standard in terms of amenities, hotel like restrooms, spacious showers, including free laundry with state of the art washer and dryers. The children’s playground is impressive. Very good value and conveniently located just off the highway.

Perfect places to camp and explore. Has an awesome creek/river hidden behind the walking trail. New playground and bathhouse. Definitely a gorgeous campground!!!!!

Happened upon this place for an overnight stop. It was very clean! RV sites level with concrete pad. Full hookups -30 & 50 amp. Laundry, showers, bathroom all above expectation! No store. Make sure you have what you need.

This park is absolutely beautiful, everything looks new. We stayed overnight while passing through and wish we had more time here. Bath houses are immaculate, playground is HUGE and my kids loved it. All the sites are super clean and large. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Is super safe, double gated.
There is river access to swim but we weren't able to go this time. If we are ever passing through again we will come back!

My family and I stopped here as a pit stop from a long road trip. We were pleasantly surprised to see new wooded playgrounds for little and big kids. My 18 month old and  3 year old did not want to leave. The bathrooms are very nice and clean. We'll be making a planned stop here next time to explore the rest of the park

I have always loved being at Escatawpa Hollow . Now It's all New ! Very Excited to See It Again ! Sarah

So bad.   Dont even bother. Run away !! Please save ur money

Good RV Park off Hwy 98, friendly owners, clean and quiet. We stopped on a holiday weekend traveling from Florida. I don't know what's with the crazy reviews on here because it seemed like the people were very nice to us.

Great no fuss, no frills, campground on the river.  Good for relaxing, hiking, fishing.  Close to Mobile.  Owners very friendly, cooperative and helpful.  Only negative...Highway 98 is a major truck route with more traffic than I65!
