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.

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.

Gulf State Park is an absolute gem on the Alabama gulf coast. The park is well maintained and super clean! There are boardwalks and paved walkways throughout the park with plenty of room for walkers or bikers. In addition, there are hundreds of acres of undisturbed land providing many opportunities for viewing wild animals in their natural habitat. This is a great place for camping, hiking, picnicking, walking, jogging, biking or simply sitting! RV sites are spacious and well maintained.

Best place to visit. We enjoyed a lot by spending our day here. Lots of fun. Nice beach. You can do biking on the nearby trail. Not too much crowded when we went there. Its peaceful and very clean beach. Highly recommend this place for families especially with kids.

We stayed at Gulf Shores Campground for four days and we had an awesome time. We were able take advantage of all of the bike trails here. We also got to ride to the beach. We stayed through New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day and it was so calm and peaceful and quiet at night. We had the best lunch at wood side restaurant. We had full hookup and the showers were so great. Donna in the front office was very helpful and Friendly. We’ll definitely be back!

Great camping spaces and support facilities. Park was laid out nicely, camp spots were a good size. Lakes, piers, picnic areas and trails were also nicely done. Camp store was stocked well with camping supplies and souvenirs. Fishing pier is a definite plus for this park. Swimming pool was good. Active military personnel and vets also get in free. A definite return to this camp ground will happen this fall.
