Grounds of the battleship

This is a great park with great sites, some right on the water. The bathrooms are new and the showers are fine. The park is close to restaurants and attractions.

Great state park. I would rate this as one of the best state parks we've been to. I would come back here in a heartbeat. Park is extremely clean. Restrooms spotless. Staff helpful and great. This is a great stop when in the Mobile AL area.

Great Park! Easy to get in and out of sites. It's a small park, but the sites are large! Don't plan to go swimming here. There's lots of Critters in the water! Campground host was very welcoming, and had lots of suggestions for both the campground and the area. Beautiful sunsets! Nice little park near the wetlands. I would stay here for a week. There is road noise because It carries over the water. Kayaks if you want to go into the water. Clean and neat. The tent sites are near the boat ramp. They let me park in one because they were out of RV sites. I paid $28 for one night for tent site Senior RV site is more. The poor dog does not like the duck hunting noises over the water when they sit off a charge to scare the ducks. ( poor ducks) I also wish people who have RV would learn about light pollution. It's camping for a reason. Leave your lights home Thank you

Great place for a day trip or a weekend. Campground looks clean and well maintained. New boardwalk allows you walk over the bay. Boat and kayak launches -and a beach area.

Great place to TV, Camp, Canoe, Boat, Kayak, Fish. I was there for day use only. RV site has a very large, clean shower facility. Pet friendly as long as dogs are on a leash. Drive slow, watch for turtles, they are abundant in these parts. Park admission $2 for day use, $4 boat launch per vehicle fee. Not sure what the camping rates are, check with park or website. Meaher State Park is also directly across from Five Rivers Delta Center off the Causeway (US-98/90 off of I-10E). Place is quiet, not crowded, other park goers were respectful. Good place to fish as long as you have both a freshwater & saltwater license. Mobile Bay is beautiful. I will return soon.

So far in 2020 we have spent 13 weeks at Meaher State Park and I must tell you... I believe we will consider this our home park for the rest of our days! :) That is quite a bold statement right?! Let me explain why... First off... Meaher State Park is absolutely stunningly beautiful with it's 50 foot pine trees and spacious RV spots. There is plenty of space in between each RV. Plus the views we had from our windows were of Mobile Bay. No bad view in this park - almost all are water views or right on the water. And the sunsets we hear are the best in Alabama (or possibly the United States :)). For reasons I don't understand the sky at on Mobile Bay changes drastically from night to night so we captured so many incredible sunsets that we all so unique. Please see our post here with many of those sunsets. :) Secondly... Our kids love the park! (So yours will too! :)) Every morning they would rush to get out of bed and ride their bikes down to the beach or to the Delta while taking several trips around the park. The park is full of stunning tall pine trees and wildlife. Of special interest to us and many people in the park this spring were the massive family or flock Canadian geese with 20 + chicks. We watched them grow from hatchlings to ready for flight. We unfortunately missed seeing them take flight but by now they've surely taken off back towards Canada. Funny to think as soon as they start flying they fly over 1000 miles! :) Thirdly... The Spanish Fort, Daphne, Fairhope area is just an incredible area to visit! Eastern Shore Alabama really took us by surprise with it's unbelievable beaches - Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Dauphin Island and Perdido key! Wow is all I can say! And all that is within an hours drive of the park. There are also huge restaurants for fresh seafood on Battleship Causeway right by the park. Oyster House was my favorite! Lastly... The manager of the park is our person of 2020! She'll laugh reading this and I'll leave her name out of it but she is fantastic and treated our family incredibly well being sure we had a place to stay during the crazy 2020 pandemic lockdown. (A special thanks to you my dear friend!) In addition to the manager - the entire staff are just good people... And knowledgeable... These folks love what they do and take care of this pristine park! I don't normally write this long of reviews and I could go on but... I'll leave it at that for now with a possible update later. Please be sure to check out the pics. We took many! P.S. While at Meaher State Park you must visit the USS Alabama. It's right there on the causeway just 2 miles away! Please look for a separate review on the USS Alabama.

Boat ramp area

We love coming here this is now our second time! Camping with electric/water hook up the park is absolutely gorgeous the only thing I would change is making the campsites not have gravel as it's not good for tents and has poked holes into ours maybe some clay or grass way better and I would also recommend getting more shade for the tent section like I said park is amazing and staff is fantastic just these little thing would make it perfect!!!

Todd L.

Love it! Sights RV sites level with full hookups, beautiful view, and great camp hosts (Rex & Tammy ..hope I got the names right) Highly recommend! Very close to the USS Alabama battleship parkway. Give it 4 stars because the poor customer service at the gate upon checkout.

Meaher State Park is one of the best state parks we have stayed at. It had full hookups with sewer too! It was clean, had lots of room, and was located in a quiet, great place. Although I cannot recommend visiting Mobile, Alabama, I would recommend staying at Meaher State Park. It is a relaxing place to spend a few days and enjoy some southern nature. Would I recommend this park? Absolutely. Would we come back? Yes, we will stay a few more days if we return to the area. Informational: We travel in a 36' Class A RV.

Bath house.
Suzzi C.

Located on Mobile bay,this is a great stop while visiting the USS ALABAMA. Large flat sites with pine trees and a view of the water. Nice bath house with clean large showers. They also have laundry facilities. The gate person was very nice and knowledge of the area. The gate closes at dusk so a code is needed to get in. A nice security touch for a State park. This will be on our "return to " list.

Beautiful State Park- Nice Views and very well kept.

Great state rv park. It is a bit hot and humid in mid summer but it is southern Alabama. Rv sites were large and well maintained.

Dauphine Island Campground is a great place to camp. We stayed in the tent camping area in our…read morerooftop tent. There is a spot to have a fire and every site has picnic tables which is nice. The tent camping area is very wooded so there is plenty of shade which is nice. We stayed here in April and were surpised that there were SO MANY mosquitos! We did get eaten alive by them even having bug spray on. There was a walking trail right by our campsite to walk to the beach. We took full advantage of that. The beach was clean and peaceful right on the Gulf! The bathhouse was pretty new and so clean and nice! There are sinks and mirrors right outside the showers as well as sinks and mirrors right outside the toilets. The showers were clean, spacious, have a bench to put all of your things, the water was hot and the water pressure was great as well. When checking in the staff was very friendly and informative. The office has a small selection of "general" merchandise you might need to save you a trip into town to a store. They also have firewood for sale. Be sure to get wood when you get there because the staff is gone at 5 or 6 and you won't be able to get wood after that; we made that mistake. If you have kids, there is a playground for them to play on which excited our kids. It was close enough to the tent camping area that we were able to see them playing from our campsite. They do have bicycles for the kids to ride if they didn't bring their own. My daughter learned the hard way that the bike she chose didn't have breaks and she took a pretty hard crash! I definitely recommend staying here if you're in the area.

Currently no beach access(Feb 20, 2024)!! If you are coming here for the beach access find…read moresomewhere else, the entire beach is torn up and there is loud construction equipment working well past midnight unfortunately. If you are in a camper you are probably fine from the noise but if you are in a tent good luck with sleep. Otherwise, this is a fantastic campground, cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen at a campground, great people staying there. As a solo female traveler this was the perfect spot for me to set up except no beach access and I was in a tent so got no sleep. Left after 1 night instead of 4 and while they told me it was nonrefundable they did not disclaim that the beach was closed or the noise.
