Are you up for an outdoor adventure? Want to try something new? Multiple campgrounds, campsites, RV resorts and parks along Alabama’s Coastal Connection Scenic Byway are calling your name!
Located in Dauphin Island, this campground will have you soaking up the natural beauty of the area. The campground is 155 acres of RV hookups and campsites within walking distance of the beach, picnic areas, playgrounds and natural trails. In addition, guests have access to the Audubon Bird Sanctuary and public boat launches.
Pelican Nest Campground & RV Resort
Also located in Dauphin Island, this campground and RV resort is across from the beach. The community amenities include a pool with a slide, and chairs and umbrellas are available. Bring your golf clubs, tennis racquets, hiking shoes and appetite when you visit, because the resort is near the Isle Dauphine Golf Club, tennis courts, Audubon Bird Sanctuary, and a restaurant/pub only two doors away.
While staying in Dauphin Island, tour Fort Gaines and inquire about the schedule of re-enactment events, then pique your interest in marine science at Dauphin Island Sea Lab Estuarium.
Mobile Bay provides the backdrop for Fort Morgan RV Park. Each of the 30 sites has a bay view or is bayfront. A 200-foot pier stretches into the bay, beckoning you to try your hand at reeling in a lunker. Numerous attractions can be found within the area, including the Gulf Beaches within 1.5 miles of the park, the nearby Fort Morgan Historic Site, and the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge filled with walking trails and plenty of nature.
Plenty of amenities make your Gulf Shores stay memorable. The park offers 496 full-hookup campsites and 11 primitive sites. No RV or trailer? Tents are welcome on all sites. Pass the time playing tennis, pickleball, horseshoes or volleyball, then cool off in the swimming pool with a splash pad. You’ll also have access to bike rentals, a camp store, a nature center, and 28 miles of trails.
Heritage Motorcoach Resort & Marina
Located in Orange Beach, this luxury RV resort boasts a private marina on Bayou St. John, which connects to the Gulf of Mexico. The 79 sites are equipped with bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and whatever the individual owners have added.
