I had meant to post this awhile back and it got sidelined. Better late than never!
Boy Scout Troop 101 was planning a trip to visit the USS Alabama and to head down to the Gulf Shores area to swim in the Gulf of Mexico. We needed a place to stay and Meaher State Park was the spot we chose.
We were tent camping so I will describe the tent area first. The tent area is a small area near the boat ramp with a few picnic tables and grills. There is no electricity and no running water, although water is nearby.
We were camping very close to Mobile Bay and can hear the traffic all night crossing the interstate over the bay. There is no privacy for the tents since we were all packed into such a small area. We were also surrounded by a huge chain linked fence.
I hate to be so down on an area but it really is just a place to put your tent. It had nothing that I liked for tent camping. A few positives were it was relatively quiet, other than the interstate, and the bathouse and park were extremely clean.
The RV section of the park was beautiful with a view of Mobile Bay, clean pads, water and sewer hookups, and grills.
If you are RV'ing or fishing then this park would be ideal for you. If you are looking for a place to tent camp, not so much the best location. It will do, but just be prepared to listen to the interstate.
From the website: "This 1,327-acre park is situated in the wetlands of Mobile Bay and is a
day-use picnicking and scenic park with modern camping hook-ups and
bathhouse facilities for overnight visitors. A boat ramp and fishing
pier will appeal to every fisherman. A self-guided walk on two nature
trails includes a boardwalk with a up close view of the Mobile Delta.."
