Heart of the Country

8 sites ¡ RVs, Tents12 acres ¡ Bay Minette, AL
Heart of the Country is our home and also your own personal twelve acre state park whenever you stay with us! We are less than 15 minutes from Interstate 10 and from Interstate 65. I offer a half-dozen campsites, all either on a relatively level paved driveway or grass. Power (20 amp and 30 amp) and water is available. We have two 30 amp campsites, which are first come, first served. WIFI is available! (please ask for password). We have a portable toilet for your use. This is a Longleaf Pine sanctuary with lots of nature trails. This is also a hobby farm with livestock (Donkey, two Goats, a Duck and a flock of Chickens). I feed the livestock grain every morning usually between 8 and 9 am, and again hay before dusk. You are always welcome to join me and I'll introduce all of them to you! My dog, Homer, is our very friendly welcoming ambassador who will enthusiastically great you upon your arrival. I put him up in his kennel each evening around dusk, then lock him in his shed until morning which keeps him from backing during the night. We also host an AirBnB, so other guests may be here as well. Texting via the app is our preferred mode of communication. If you call, please leave a message if I can't answer, and I will call you back. We are slowly updating the site photos. Use them only to determine your price, for example: A site with 30 amp power and water is $25 per night. A site with 20 amp power and water is $20 per night. A boondocking site (no power) is $15 per night. All sites have access to a porta-potty and water. Suggested local attraction: Blakeley State Historic Park is four miles away.

Mark's Marvelous Masterpiece

2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents1 acre ¡ Mobile, AL
I recently purchased this property. I am in the middle of remodeling, so bear with the mess inside if you are a tent camper and need to use the facilities. I have a charcoal and gas grill available on the deck, as well as a smoker. I am a bit "house poor," until I get my shop built and make my own furniture, so bring portable chairs and a table.Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent on one of two locations. Each are separated by the house. Fire pits in place. The ground is soft and mostly level. The house is on stilts, so if restrooms are needed, then be prepared to walk a flight of stairs. Lots of birds, wood ducks, and other wildlife. Kayaking is king here. Lots of great fishing on-site and nearby depending on time of year.

Colorful Camping at Beakertopia✨️🌈

20 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents2 acres ¡ Bon Secour, AL
Come camp on one of the Southeast's most unique properties, Beakertopia! Our 2.4 acre artist compound is lush with hundred-year-old live oaks, native flowers and enclosed in bamboo. Choose any spot to pitch your tent and enjoy our magic oasis only 20 min from the beautiful white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores. You're welcome to use the "outdoor living room" as you please. This area includes a bar with rainwater catchment for washing hands/dishes, refrigerator, freezer, electric tea kettle, microwave, solar oven, 2 burner biogas stovetop with cooking equipment&utensils, games, aerial yoga silks, climbing wall, slackline, Iyengar yoga rope wall, trash/recycling, and filtered alkaline drinking water. Attached to it is our air conditioned ecobathroom with hot shower and bio toilet. Please note that our growing community is not "finished" as we have many years worth of projects we intend on using this land to experiment with. With our 2 aircrete domes are under construction, there are lots of tools and materials on site. We do try to limit any loud work being done while campers are here, but we cannot fully clean up the construction site every single day. While many visitors leave with inspiration for their own homes & appreciate the chance to view our building process rather than just the final product, we understand it's not for everyone. Gulf Shores offers many nice, high-end condos+hotels if you're looking for a more luxurious experience. Just like ourselves, Beakertopia is a work in progress and we are happy to share our journey with those who resonate! Learn more about this land: Community. Art. Sustainability. At Yum Arts Collective we believe that the power lies in the collective, rather than the individual. A group of people working towards a shared goal can truly create magic out of thin air. We know this to be true because we've witnessed it time and time again through our business and life. We created Beakertopia to show that alternative lifestyles are indeed possible and can actually flow beautifully. We hope to inspire others to break out of the square boxes that society puts you in from the moment you enter this world. Beakertopia is a beautiful 2.4 acre piece of land in Bon Secour, AL that we purchased in 2020 to explore sustainability, alternative building methods, and permaculture. Due to the seasonal nature of this region we're able to devote half the year to our business and half the year to our land which allows for a symbiotic relationship for the 2 to serve one another simultaneously. ​ Our intention for this artist community is to bring like-minded people together and make the world a more beautiful place. It serves as our primary residence and also residence for seasonal workers&traveling artists when they come here. Every year we have the opportunity to employ about a dozen people to work with us during the tourist season, from March-October. Aside from our local employees, we also wanted to create a space that would allow for fellow travelers to join our crew. Beakertopia provides the possibility for friends from around the world to come live and work. Check out our website for more info ✨️

Airstream Gypsy Hideaway

1 site ¡ Lodging5 acres ¡ Silverhill, AL
This is country life. The airstream hideaway sits on 6 acres surrounded by woods, farmland, birds, deer, rabbits, foxes, and more. Instead of eliminating nature, we embrace awareness and knowledge for coexisting with insects, wildlife, critters, plants, etc. For visitors who love walking: the three roads of this neighborhood are dead ends and have hills. Perimeters of agricultural fields can also be walked, if desired. Other things to note: Our home is on site and located toward the front of the property. The outdoor space includes patio mat, picnic table, charcoal BBQ grill, chairs, fire pit, and RV awning. It is a cool spot to relax. The front porch becomes an outdoor dining area in moments. I try to keep wood for the fire pit nearby for guests to use. At night, the fresh air and crackling fire pit bring back memories of youthful whispered stories.

The best camping near Meaher State Park guide

Overview

About

The beautiful Mobile Delta covers 20,323 acres of expansive watery goodness, and Meaher State Park is the perfect place to access it all. From the 200-foot fishing pier and boat ramp, to the incredible 5 Rivers Delta Resource Center, you will discover a world of tidally influenced rivers, creeks, bays, lakes, wetlands, and bayous, all ripe for exploration. Fish for salt and freshwater fish, get up-close-and-personal with the abundant wildlife, and at the end of the day, make your bed at one of several full-service campsites, all with spectacular views.

Notable campgrounds

  • RV Campsites: Equipped with 20-, 30-, and 50-amp electrical connections, water, and sewer hook-ups for a comfortable stay.
  • Improved Tent Sites: Offering water and 20-amp electrical connections, these sites cater to the needs of tent campers.
  • Bay-side Cabins: Four cabins, including one that is handicap accessible, provide a cozy retreat with stunning views of Ducker Bay.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early, especially during peak seasons, to ensure your spot amid the park's natural beauty.
  • Consider visiting during weekdays for better availability and a quieter experience.
  • Keep an eye on the park's website for any special offers or cancellations that may open up reservations.
  • Explore nearby camping options if Meaher State Park is fully booked, ensuring you don't miss out on the area's attractions.

When to go

The best time to visit Meaher State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its most vibrant. Summers can be hot and humid, while winters, though mild, may have fewer services available.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's operating hours, open daily from 7am to 7pm, and plan your visit accordingly.
  • Remember to bring an Alabama freshwater fishing license if you plan to fish from the pier or by boat.
  • Stay aware of local wildlife; you may encounter alligators and other native species.
  • Accessibility is a priority, with facilities including a handicap-accessible cabin and boardwalks.
  • Modern bathhouse facilities are available for your convenience, complete with laundry services.
