Gulf State Park, Gulf Shores

Heard this was a great place to camp, it was beyond what was expected. We had full hookups. We will be back. Our campsite was #14 and was perfect. Lots of trails and paths for bikes, walking and golf carts. The campgrounds are close to the beach and everything else that GULF Shores has to offer. Well worth the time we spent there. We had heard about the alligator sightings but we never came across one. Our 1st evening and we had a flyover by the Blue Angels...awesome!

We think this is a great State Park, big spacious lots, we were in 255 which was a lake view very nice. The staff in the office were all very nice and make the check-in a very easy process. We loved the bike share, the miles and miles of trails are great and easy to ride on. With your park pass you can park and get on the pier for free, just take a picture of your pass to show the attendant. There is a path also that goes over the road and onto the beach which is nice. The bathhouses were really nice and the showers were good, we did notice a few of them around the park were closed due to repairs. In bathhouse 9 it wasn't cleaned on the men's side for a few days, I would think they would be cleaned daily. Another suggestion is have one of the bike share locations inside the park so you don't have to drive to get to the bikes. If in the area again we would for sure visit this park again. We visited Ft. Morgan , if in the area this is so worth the short drive to get there. Thank you PJV

I absolutely love Gulf State Park. My husband and I bike the many trails several days a week. The views are incredible. The beach pavilion and pier are great places to visit. The park offers many other things to do including an educational center, playground, dog park, and much more. I highly recommend visiting.

This is my favorite place to camp. The majority of the sites are nice and big and there are nice trails throughout the park including directly to the beach. You also get a pass that allows you to park free at the pavilion for additional beach access. It’s beautiful and well kept with easy access to a ton of restaurants and shopping including the Tanger outlets. We liked it so much we booked two additional stays while we were still there.

What a wonderful park! Beautiful views and trails to bike or walk. And the lakes are so picturesque. Free bike share app is available & the boardwalk trails through the marsh areas are amazing. And of course then there's the beach! You only have to pay for parking. It's also very dog friendly. We're going to bring our golden next time for the dog park/beach on the lake.
