This park appears to be going through some change. The sign at the entrance says Bay Park RV Park. All the literature and the web site says Alabama Port RV Park. Office is an Anchor Realty office. They have approximately 10 new concrete sites that they are listing as RV sites for sale. All of the others are either back in or pull through gravel lots. The lots are level and easy to get into. The bath house is a mess. On the men's side, the toilets are not clean and several do not appear to work. There is one shower that has a curtain and appears to be used somewhat regularly as there are personal bath items left in there permanently. The building appears to be of fairly recent construction and it looks like they just did not finish it nor maintain it. The woman's side is of a similar condition according to my wife. There is an abundance of garbage around the perimeter of the park and the dumpster is overflowing. Park personnel are aware of it as they were mowing the grass close to it today. The park does have potential to be a nice place, but I cannot recommend it in it's current condition. - mwallace61

This was not an RV resort, it is a trailer park because of all of the permanent residents. We stayed for a week. We were promised a pull through. When we arrived, we were assigned to a back in. That was resolved. Our site was between two guys who were repairing their motorcycles and guys on the other side working on a boat. We spent zero time outside because there was no picnic table and the views on either side were boat or cycle repair, with greasy rugs on the ground. The power, water, cable and wifi did work. The wifi was probably better than most sites. We carry our own wifi because of that, but used the park's wifi some in this instance. - Happy Harley

Aug 2016 - $15.00

Terrible place to stay! Owner is arrogant and rude! He made us feel like we were bothering him when we checked in and again when we needed our propane tank filled. Park is very noisy at night with a lot of loud partying going on. Sites are very close and you can hear door slam every time your neighbor comes & goes. Smell of sewage was horrible too. - sweetp

Jan 2016 - $15.00

Very convenient park located about 20 miles south of Mobile and 15 miles from Dauphin Island. It's gated with concrete drives and many concrete pads for back-in and pull-through. We've spent 3 winters at the facility and plan to return next year. Owner will go the extra mile to ensure your satisfaction. Highly recommend the park.

Sites are near to one another but sunny and open with a patio. - gobigred

Mar 2019 - $33.00

We stayed here three nights while visiting relatives in the area. Be aware that this is an RV park that caters to people working in the various local industries who live here full-time as told to me by the owner after I complained about the following. People come in and out at all times of the night with loud, older cars and trucks. There is much slamming of doors, talking and other associated noise all the time. Most of the RVs are older and permanently parked as people are living in them and are not traveling. One lady told us she lives here in her RV because she can't afford to live anywhere else. Last night at 3am an extremely loud truck with a fifth wheel trailer drove around and around the park and finally settled near us after jacking the trailer back and forth about twenty times. The driver idled the truck continuously for at least an hour while setting up. He then left and came back twice and finally left again. This went on till 5am. The elderly owner told us it was a trailer deliveryman. There is duck feces everywhere. The roads are rutted and the facilities are in disrepair. You would do well to avoid this place. - Readenit

May 2018 - $22.00

Cash only! Couldn't change a $20.00 so I went back with the correct change after setting up. Elderly lady didn't remember writing down my passport number so I had to return for my card (again). She then informed me I was a penny short so I gave her another penny. Then she asked for my passport card and I showed her where she wrote it down. Also, Park is full of stickers and dog & duck poop EVERYWHERE. Shade trees shade the roads, not the sites. OK for overnight passport park. - JimChan52

May 2018 - $22.00

A lovely oasis about 5 miles off I-10 near Bellingrath Gardens. No frills, just peace & quiet on a small pond teeming with wildfowl. A perfect stopping place at the end of a long day on the road. The Payne's are welcoming and genuinely happy to have you visit their park. - Dunwoodyradio

stayed for 5 nights. Small campground 12 sites. 1/2 mile walk to ocean. love this campground. Very friendly staff. We will we back. - STLCamper

Apr 2019 - $45.00

Looks can be deceiving in a very good way. This park is small (approximately 12 sites) but big on personality. We were greeted upon arrival and escorted to our site and even helped backing into the site. The office personnel were courteous, professional and extremely accommodating. The office itself had everything your could need...from necessity items to bike/kayak rentals. The owners were very helpful as our cable TV cord was just slightly too short to hook up, so they let us borrow a connector. The park is located across from the beach which as beautiful. We took advantage of the bike rentals and explored the entire island. Bike trails made it so easy and pleasant. We camped for 2 nights in a 33' motorhome. - KimEdmond

Mar 2019 - $37.00

Small RV site, very close to each other. Our slideout almost hung over the next site's table. Rear area of our site was prone to flooding, making tank draining a mess. Across the street from the public beach. One of the washing machines was inoperable during our stay. The traffic behind RV park can be a little loud at night. The office (ice cream/store) wasn't open during our March stay (off-season). The island is a wonderful place to visit. The owner/operators were friendly and helpful. Pickup groceries before getting to the island or prepare to pay premium prices. - JayFeather_Traveler

We left our Motorhome here when we had to return North for a week. While we did not actually stay in the park, we would have no hesitation about staying in the future. The park is a little rough around the edges and is in the process of renovation. The owner, employees and residents were excellent and went beyond to help us out. - Minniemax

Sep 2017 - $40.00

OK, so we were evacuating due to Hurricane Irma and this was the ONLY place we could find that had a site available. At that point I wasn't picky. However, this place is really run down & trashy looking. Many of the RV's have been there 10 yrs or more and they look it! Really old, dirty, with junk all around them. And at $40.00 per night, it was ridiculous. On the good side, we had full hook-ups, cable worked great with a lot of channels and the staff were nice but they couldn't give me a WiFi password without all my devices' ID addresses for them to put in their computer. Huh? No one else does this so I said forget it. There is a pool, laundry, shower/bathroom at the house structure (where the owners live I presume) that is much nicer than the rest of the park. We stayed only one night because I knew we could get something better for $40/night. Unless you have no other choice, move on. - new FL camper

Mar 2012 - $36.00

Awful place, a feeling of creepy sums it up best. We drove in, met owner, and left. Worst park I ever drove into (and out of). Plenty of other parks down the road if you are going to Bellingrath Gardens. - User2407

Lots of seasonal and some Permanente. Care must be taken for big rigs as lots of big trees close to road and in sites, have to be careful. Not a lot of short term spots from what we could tell. - Frankjk

Oct 2018 - $17.00

The park has nice wide paved roads easy to back into my site. My site needed some leveling. The utilities were good and convenient to hook up. Wifi is really non existent but my verizon signal was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. The laundry had half of the dryers out of order. Sites had plenty of room for slide outs and awnings. My site was gravel with a concrete patio. - gadawg

Stayed briefly in July. Lady at front desk was very nice and accommodating. Didn't use restrooms/bathhouse. View of the pond on the premises is very relaxing and peaceful. Also noticed they have cute little cabins for rent. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will go back if in the area again. - sweetp

All the reviews you read about crazy layout are dead on. Never seen anything like it. Very nice young lady checked us in. She gave us 2 options, one no way we could get in, no one got in there all week - Blue 21. It's right by beach access, would have no neighbor on 1 side but with people parked right across the road, no way a 34' fifth wheel getting in Blue 21. Choice 2: Blue 27, we wanted sewer. Come to find out there were plenty other options. In 27 slide barely cleared tree. Site Blue 28 sewer is no lie, > 6 feet from 27 sitting area. The neighbor's sewer is going to be close to you. Fortunately no one showed up all week that could get in there. The site behind us ran horizontal. Our view from every window was a camper. The site is somewhat grass, somewhat sand, somewhat mud. It had rained a lot before we got there and after we got there. Restrooms/shower house was too far away for us to check out, there was a line for the ladies shower we noticed one night. It is gated and you will get an entrance card to scan yourself in. There are a couple of other gates you can get in by bike or foot. Very quiet at night, but again, one wicky wacky layout. Beach access is as you have probably already read, through a nice wooded area, then some boardwalk with a board needing to be replaced, dog leg found that. Beach is nice, water is muddy murky not nice. You cannot hear beach waves at the campground. It is extremely dog friendly. They are supposed to be on a leash at the beach but many did not comply and that one day will cause the beach to no longer be dog friendly I bet. Seems like you could at least comply with that, many beaches won't even allow pets. The west end beach at the end of Dauphin Island doesn't allow pets. We drove out to see the sunset and had to turn around because we had the dog. Went back next night without dog & of course there is a guy with his dog. Our 50 amp went out the first night there, sizzled. Repaired next day. Dumpsters all grouped together close to office only. - AR Traveller

Oct 2018 - $30.00

The main positive about this campground is the location. It can't be beat. It was within easy walking distance of the estuarium, Fort Gaines, the beach, etc. The restroom/shower building is in very good shape and the kids enjoyed the playground. As others have pointed out, the campground is a little cramped, but we had friendly neighbors and I learned a lot watching the procedures other people use when setting up and taking down camp. Food options are limited unless you are willing to drive or cook. We are likely to stay here again in the future, but primarily for the location. - SportDawgs

Apr 2018 - $37.00

New bathrooms and laundry. Very clean. Spring break week very busy but after - empty. (Weather was not good for beach.) Had a great site; roomy with some shade. Some sites are very tight. Had a guy next to us park in our site. (Would have been nice if he had asked.) New playground kept kids busy. Very good place for bird watchers during migration. Ferry and oil rig supply boats dock nearby so you have that noise. - pegdiver

Jun 2018 - $30.00

We called 2 hours ahead to ensure a long enough pull thru site for our rig and tow. When we arrived she assigned us a site that already had a rig in it, then gave us a site in the very back with all of the permanent residents, there are a lot of them. Our neighbors for the evening were cussing and yelling, not a good welcome. The site was grass, fairly level, the wifi only worked in the front sites (which we were promised), ATT good, close to the interstate. The rate quoted indicated a Good Sam discount but she doubled the sales tax so it equaled $30, therefore no discount. We would not stay there again. - Traveler23

Nice, spacious site. Washrooms were clean and showers had good pressure. Campground was very quiet with nice scenery. Friendly staff. The pool was not open, but we probably would not have used it anyway. Very close to many stores. Good value for the money. - John A Guderian

Nice park with very friendly staff, very clean, we lived the porches, pool and little touches that made this park very welcoming. The staff members were very nice and helpful. It was a small park but it worked for us and we'll be back. We didn't unhook for the night, sight was long enough for both RV and tow car. - Psiwally

Mar 2019 - $52.00

Agree with previous review, this is a very nice, pretty new RV park. It has all the amenities except, surprisingly, cable TV. OTA is good with many FL, MS and AL stations. This is a very dog friendly park with rules enforced but not oppressively. Interior roads and sites are very smooth, well-compacted and dust free gravel. Utilities and wifi are all good. Folks are very friendly and helpful. Decor throughout the park definitely shows a tasteful lady's touch. The only real negative is that the sites are VERY close together. Seems like they own more unused property that could have been used to make things less cramped. As is the case with all the newer parks/resorts we visit, they are a bit pricey, at least for daily rates. - Grumpier99

Feb 2019 - $38.00

Beautiful, small, privately run RV park. Very clean, well managed and quiet. Great place to spend time or like us an overnight stop, conveniently off of I-10. I wish all RV parks where managed like this one. No cable but good strong TV signal. - LucyS
