Really enjoyed our time here. The rangers are super friendly and very informative. We enjoyed it so much we stayed another night. Mobile is definitely worth checking out, lots to do. Would return again for sure.

Quiet, clean, and beautiful scenery. Splinter Hill Pitcher Plant Bog Preserve only 30 minutes away. Cabin was delightful. Talked with campers who loved their experience.

A gem. CLEAN, big sites and room between each one. Concrete pads and full hookups. Bathhouses have private shower /toilet rooms. Really no bad site , although I like the ones with water views. Boat launch, able to fish from piers, kayak friendly too,and boardwalk to look for gators. And a good location close to a lot of good restaurants, downtown Mobile, USS Alabama, Daphane, Fairhope,and more.

Oh my gosh this place is amazing!!! And probably our new favorite camp place!!! They have done a lot of addition and it’s for the better! The new bathrooms are so clean and nice. The visitors center/office isn’t large but that’s ok when you have a lot of content!!! My kids were busy for quite a while. The laundry take quarter and is pretty busy, but it’s cheapest I’ve found in a while!!! One night they let some college kids in to to a campfire sing along with s’mores and my kids loved it! They found new friends of all ages!!! The two piers/boardwalks are so fun to walk along, we did at least one every day! The sights are all clean and well kept, and not tiny! The shade is in the older part of the park so if that’s a must for you then now you know. We did fine in the new open area since it was winter time. They have kayaks to rent. Fishing. And even an osprey nest! Birding is pretty easy to do here and we even saw some alligators. I dunno what else you could want from a park!!! It was amazing. And even pretty cheap in the winter. It was also fairly full! Everyone loves it here! I think there’s a 14 day limit though so turnover was quite frequent. We cannot wait to come back and stay again at Meaher State Park!!!

Really nice campground. We were in site 61 which is a pull through but it's right at the entrance so all rvs drive by there but it was fine otherwise. The new shower/ bathrooms were really nicely set up and clean. We spent 3 nights here on our way to Florida.

We spent 5 nights here in our RV. One of the best state parks we’ve been to. Large, level concrete pads with full hookups. Beautiful nature trails with a boardwalk and a fishing pier. Would highly recommend staying here.

Meaher State Park is a small but lovely park—perfect if you’re looking for a quiet spot to slow down. The boardwalk is a highlight, especially for spotting wildlife and enjoying beautiful sunset views over the water. It’s peaceful, uncrowded, and a great place for a short walk or a moment of calm. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Decided to stay one night while enroute to St. George Island. Park is very clean, sites are nice size, very level. We enjoyed a stroll on the boardwalk and saw an alligator eating its dinner. Showers/restrooms are clean. Each site has picnic table and grill, with full hook ups.

For our girls trip, we found this park to tent camp while visiting the Mushroom Festival in Fairhope. We stayed at campsite 33, which is just steps from the water and has a little bench under a tree to sit on to enjoy the view of the Bay. There are water and electric at each site. The people here are so friendly and the facilities are clean. There is a coin laundry area, a kayak drop-in & rental, and a dock to walk out on to fish or just enjoy the view! Not every site has tree coverage so make sure if you want to have a couple of trees near you to just look up YouTube reviews that visit each site ... this is what helped me pick site 33 because I wanted to be near the water and have trees around us. We would definitely stay here again!!

Great stop for a couple of hours - parked in a small shaded lot by the boardwalk. nice walk over the marsh - birds, turtles. saw lots of signs warning about gators but saw no gators. $3 per person for a day pass and they let us fill up our water tank at an open RV site. thank - you!!

Came here for homecoming pictures. Absolutely gorgeous view and beautiful sunset. There were a few grasshoppers on the trail part. The park is well-maintained and has a grass pathway that leads to a pier overlooking the bay and causeway. It's really breathtaking.

First time here. Meaher is a gorgeous state park. It's in close proximity to all kinds of things. Bathhouse/restrooms are clean and comfortable. Sites are spacious and spaced far enough apart. Beautiful views of the bay - at sunrise and sunset. Plenty of gators to be seen. Staff was super friendly. Went straight across the road, to the government building, and got my out of state fresh water fishing license. Full hook-ups uos were nice. The pedestal grill was OK- but the wind kinda makes it hard to grill on it. No fire pits at campsites but with the amount of pine needles carpeting the ground I understand why. No biggie. Be sure and sweep/blow needles off the tops of your slide outside before retracting tem in. Just a suggestion. Overall it is a lovely place and we will be back sometime.

We stayed in the cabin called Frog's Bog. It had a bedroom with a comfortable queen sized bed, another bedroom with a bunk bed and a small living room with a couch bed. We had 3 adults and 3 children. Had no problem with sleeping arrangements. The staff were wonderful. I hope to visit here again.

Nice campground. Large sites, views of the water. Not used to full hookups at state parks, so that was a bonus. Nice boardwalk. Coming from the east you have to make a u-turn which had an added off road area to make the turn around.

A small but very beautiful park. The facilities (restrooms, showers, laundry) are well kept, the bathrooms being especially clean. They are currently adding new buildings and upgrading the park quite a bit. In addition to the well kept older wash buildings, there is a brand new wash house with each room having toilets, changing table, and shower. They have a brand new loop with paved, level sites; however, there is no shade in the new loop as all the trees were taken out to accommodate the new sites. Hopefully part of the long term plan is to put some trees in that area, as it can get extremely hot and the wind off the bay makes it hard to keep an awning or canopy in place. We struggled a little bit with the water pressure at our full hook-up RV site. The staff was so kind and accommodating, the boardwalk is perfect to catch a sunset. The boat launch is easily accessible to all sites. There is also a fishing pier, which we didn’t utilize but is also conveniently located within the park. The USS Alabama Memorial Park is a 10 minute drive from here, which was part of the reason we booked here to begin with. It’s also got groceries and restaurants nearby.
