2 nights at RV Lot 67 in Grand Riviera Resort

Nice level site. Micki is a good resonsponsive host. Her confirmation was a little confusing but she clarified that we could choose either lot. Be level is expected in a relatively new resort. Laundry isn't mentioned but is available and sort of clean. People wash pet stuff, against the rules. Unexpected was the cushions of the outdoor furniture covered by spider webs at the sw clubhouse. Otherwise the wash rooms and showers were nice and clean. Found the dumpsters location odd and a lengthy walk. Heard say that they are fixing the pool heater. Also heard that it's been a long time since it worked as well as the main gate. We only stayed a couple nights so we felt secure but the gate really should be fixed. With that in mind, we'd likely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Drifters RV Park

Needed a place to stay for 1 night while traveling so booked this one. Its not too far from the Interstate and easy to get to. Was a clean, quiet and pet friendly space. No issues and would stay there again if needed. Thank you 😊

6 nights at RV Lot 67 in Grand Riviera Resort

Nestled in the little ALABAMA, town of S. Foley Al. Is this very nice and new property that has RV lots for sale, but if you’re interested in just a place to stay and relax, enjoy the surrounding areas ( Gulf Shores, Orange Beach and the pensacola area then this is a great location. Very clean restrooms and showers +3 swimming pools with one heated. We stayed a lot 67, which was close to the pickle ball courts, and pool/office. A nice restaurant (Wolf Bay) right across the street from the entrance and Lambert’s where they throw rolls, is within a quarter of a mile.
