We finally made it to Gulf State Park for our anniversary trip! It's a place we've wanted to visit for years, especially since getting our e-bikes. After a few tries of finding a spot, we were so excited to book our stay. 😁 On our anniversary, we drove the scenic coast in our Jeep, stopping along the way to enjoy appetizers from Gulf Shores to Destin and back. We ended the night watching the sunset at the beach. It was a perfect way to celebrate. 🥂💖 In the remaining two days, we biked over 85 miles, exploring all the park's trails and even riding the Fort Morgan Road trail outside the park. 🚲 I can confidently say this is the best state park we've ever camped at—they truly have thought of everything. We're already planning our next trip and can't recommend it enough! 🏕️ #lanclosadventures

Only saw the huge pier but it was beautiful. Seasonal restaurant and bar on site, great owners! Fish from the pier or just site see. Bait cutting tables available along the pier as well as a fish cleaning station with a grinder to discard the trash.

Very relaxing place where you can sit by the water for hours or go for a walk or ride a bike or...whatever you want to do. There's so much to do in nature in God's creation. It's just peaceful place that every time I'm in the area I will go. My husband and I enjoy it so much.

Excellent location! Close to aqua green beaches and fantastic restaurants, shopping, and a short drive to awesome Fort Morgan, Fairhope and Foley. Beautiful trails crisscross through and around the park. Gorgeous freshwater lake for fishing, swimming or boating. Clean, spacious, well cared for RV sites with shade trees and grass. Huge gorgeous pool. The showers are okay. Better than some I've seen. Laundry room has several machines. This is a safe, gated part, with friendly and accommodating staff.

Spectacular resort state park. Many ways to stay… RV, tent, lodge (run by Hilton), cabins. Beautiful clean beach, large pool at the campground, play area for the kids and miles of hiking and bike trails. Restrooms and bath houses are super clean and modern.

Beautiful park and extremely well cared for. The staff were too notch and it is located in a very convenient location. The cabis were exceptional and the campground was amazing. Can't wait to go back and take the RV. The only bad thing we encountered wasy wife was stung over 30 times by fire ants! Their nests are everywhere around the cabins.

Beautiful park with tons to do over 20 miles of trails. Rented e-bikes for 4 hrs it was so fun! The views and well maintained trails were nice. The nature center had many coastal reptiles and very informative. Also the beach access is very clean with bathrooms, pavilion and life guards on duty. The parking is $10

Beautiful park with tons of amenities, and it's right across the street from a beautiful beach! The camper sites are generous and plenty... this place is huge! They have full hookups, a swimming pool and splash pad, electric bike rentals, ice machines, and the nicest staff... what more could you want? This is probably one of the nicest campgrounds I've ever been to if you include all the amenities and the beach across the street... I'll definitely be back!

Best State Park I have camped at. Excellent staff. Excellent sites (of course some are better than others). Excellent bike trails. Clean and well maintained.

Our 7-day stay at this park was incredible, and here's why: you get the best of both worlds with easy 5-minute beach access and convenient bike trails. The camping facilities are top-notch, and the environment is simply lovely. Plus, the nearby town ensures you have everything you need within a short 15-minute drive. If you value outdoor adventure, quick trips to the beach, and a peaceful, family-oriented atmosphere, you'll love this park.

Gulf State Park is a great place! My husband and I enjoyed riding our bikes, the beaches, and relaxing. We learned that if you are a Veteran, they have a park pass to use! We enjoyed the park daily while visiting. We hope in the future to stay in the RV park!

The lodge was clean and updated. The pool area was comfortable and the beach was lovely. It was nice that there were dining options on site. Parking was a real hike, but valet parking is an option. I hope to visit again soon.

The Gulf State Park is truly a full-featured RESORT! Day use as well as a huge campground of about 500 sites! They really have everything here, including easy walking access to a great beach and a really long fishing pier . The staff is very professional here and they have plenty of people on duty.

Amazing! You have the lake and beach all in one. There is a dog park too. Tons of walking trails and bikes to rent! They really considered a lot when taking on this large project. It's gorgeous all around and close to al the shops. If you want somewhere quieter away from the spring breakers, The Lodge is a great place to stay with direct beach access.
