The best thing about this park is being on Mobile Bay for the sunsets and the wildlife - pelicans plunging for fish, the occasional alligator in the water. The lots are flat and paved, with full service outlets (electricity, water, sanitation), and a laundry on campus. The restrooms were extremely clean but oddly spartan - for example, no trash receptacles in the stalls in the women's rest room. You can hear the noise from Hwy 98 at this park. Great for a couple nights while exploring the Mobile 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!!

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.

Absolutely beautiful campground! Clean, well kept grounds, restrooms and showers. Engaging, knowledgeable staff. My only complaint isn't even about the park, but the need for updating on the website. There is no longer a swim beach as it has been invaded by alligators. There really is nothing to occupy small children. The perfect place for retirees who enjoy nature walks and fishing. Tent camping is quite reasonable with water and electricity, though I do suggest rugs or tent pads for tent flooring as the spaces are rocky ( though we'll drained) . One final point. The laundry has one dryer which...needs attention. Overall, a fantastic place to stay which even with nearby interstate traffic is quiet, peaceful and enjoyable.

It's a very clean and nice State Park. Restrooms are clean shower rooms are clean. It was a very peaceful weekend and we just loved it! The only thing that would have made it better is if it had a little store on the premises so we could get camper toilet paper! LOL we really could have used some but we had other to supplement so. We didn't see any alligators or snakes! Thank goodness of that. All in all it was a very nice place.

We stayed at the state park for five nights. It is right on the bay and the sites are nice and large. The facilities were clean and well kept as for the grounds. Be aware there is no pool.....but there is a boat ramp! They have a fishing pier and a wooden walkway out over the Delta that we were able to observe alligators and various birds. There's an area they call a beach that has a couple picnic tables but the beach is not sand it's crushed shells but it was very private once you got to it. There's also an area where there's a beekeeper. You can actually buy fresh honey at the office! We enjoyed our stay very much. The staff, Anna, was extremely helpful. We went to tour the USS Alabama and the USS Drum. The drive to get there was less than 10 minutes. We ate dinner at Ed's, a local restaurant right down the road and the food was great and the drinks were even better! My only recommendation would be to make sure you have bug spray! The mosquitoes were bad..... But that's to be expected in the middle of summer in the south.

Just incredible! We moved from out of state and had to set up our family in a camper prior to our home completion. This state park/campground is AMAZING! The staff is so friendly, the views are amazing, and it’s so peaceful! Full hook up! Fishing, bike tails, walking trails, amazing sunsets and sunrises! A LAUNDRY station! I have 5 children and everyone here is so nice! My wife, my children, my dog, we all LOVE it here! Thank you!

I drove past this gem of a State Park hundreds of times before actually visiting. I camped in the upgraded tent sites . These included water power and wifi. The air-conditioned shower blocks were always clean. The staff went out of their way to accommodate. And the boardwalks were great! I recommend visiting whether you are a local or passing through.Stop and enjoy!!
