This is a tremendous well-kept well-organized huge campground with over 500 sites! We were here in January so I cannot comment on what a crowded place this could become. But with 28 miles of paved trails, Plus access to a fantastic Beach and fishing pier, this is a terrific place to spend time! As far as camping goes, costs are pretty steep at about $75 per night when fees are added
Very well equipped park. Try to get a site on the lake. Great washrooms and laundry. Loved the dog park with a beach and miles of paved bicycle trails. The park and campground are huge and seem very well managed. Was too cold to spend time on the beach but there’s an amazing fishing pier and a couple restaurants.
We were in site 439. Great site with only a view on nature on our camping side. Easy pull through with plenty of room. Spacing between sites was great. Lots of plays for hiking, biking and walking to the beach.
We love Gulf State Park campgrounds!!! Josh was super helpful, and the water view campsites are the best! Great family friendly atmosphere with lots of great amenities for kids and adults! Camp store and laundry room are well stocked and cared for daily. We come every year twice a year.
Over the past two years I've enjoyed the state park immensely. There's almost 27 miles of paved trails most of which are shaded. The trails are large enough to accommodate bicycles and pedestrians. There's also also bathrooms available several locations along the trails.
