Meaher State Park

A small but very beautiful park. The facilities (restrooms, showers, laundry) are well kept, the bathrooms being especially clean. They are currently adding new buildings and upgrading the park quite a bit. In addition to the well kept older wash buildings, there is a brand new wash house with each room having toilets, changing table, and shower. They have a brand new loop with paved, level sites; however, there is no shade in the new loop as all the trees were taken out to accommodate the new sites. Hopefully part of the long term plan is to put some trees in that area, as it can get extremely hot and the wind off the bay makes it hard to keep an awning or canopy in place. We struggled a little bit with the water pressure at our full hook-up RV site. The staff was so kind and accommodating, the boardwalk is perfect to catch a sunset. The boat launch is easily accessible to all sites. There is also a fishing pier, which we didn’t utilize but is also conveniently located within the park. The USS Alabama Memorial Park is a 10 minute drive from here, which was part of the reason we booked here to begin with. It’s also got groceries and restaurants nearby.

Nice campground. Large sites, views of the water. Not used to full hookups at state parks, so that was a bonus. Nice boardwalk. Coming from the east you have to make a u-turn which had an added off road area to make the turn around.

Enjoyed our camping stay at this 108 campsites state park. They have a new section of 30+ sites and a new bathhouse with individual showers. There also cabins near the boat ramp. The other section is under mature pines offering shade. They have a fishing pier and a boardwalk. Down the road is the USS Alabama and USS Drum submarine. Clean facilities, we kayaked off the boat ramp. There is road noise from the nearby highway. Enjoyed Beautiful Sunsets. Tip: as you get close to turn into the campground slow down, watch for the opening or you’ll miss the gate entrance. There isn’t a large sign to view from the roadway.
