I had a horrible experience here. It started when I made my reservation IN PERSON, and called the following 2 days to confirm, yet when we pulled in around 8 that night they had no record of my reservation anywhere. Our spot had been given to someone else already staying in the park who "did not like where they were and wanted to switch spots"! After about an hour and many phone calls we were given a spot and car tags that said we were good through our check out date of the 7th, a month later. The next day while looking through the brochure, I found out that they have an extended stay part of the park where you can stay 90 days , that we were not told about. I called to ask about moving to that section, I was told that once you park on one side you can not move to the other side without leaving for 30 days. And then they told us we had to be out by the 6th instead of the 7th because the man working out front at night "doesn't have all the correct information ". Then my brother called and was told we had to be put by 11pm. He asked this 3 times. Well fast forward to the 6th and they start calling and telling me that no its 11 am that we have to be out and if not we will not get our deposit back. I will never camp...
Read moreThe Mobile County River Delta Marina, also known as Dead Lake Marina, is an excellent place to enjoy a day on the water, camping, fishing, and time near the Mobile-Tensaw Delta.
The marina has an excellent set of boat launches that are easy to get in and out of (remember to bring cash for the $3 boat launch fee as they don't accept card payment), a nicely apportioned fish cleaning station, ample parking, clean bathrooms, and a very nice pavilion that can be reserved for a fee to accommodate larger groups. There's also a long boardwalk that goes out over Dead Lake, a backwater bayou full of Cypress knees, Native American middens, herons, and fish. I haven't camped (rv'ed) at the park but the guests that do seem to be very happy. Dead Lake is great fishing but can also serve as a boat launch for those wanting to explore the western reaches of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta - America's Amazon!
The park staff are very accommodating and it feels like a well maintained and safe environment. Kudos to the County of Mobile for the good work in revitalizing...
Read moreThis was our first camping trip in our first RV. As such, we really don't have anything to compare it to.
Staff was friendly even though she was swamped with people checking in and out.
Campground is in sight of an interstate but noise level was not an issue.
In ground pool was nice but it was small and designed more with kids in mind. Could have used a few more lounge chairs and a good skimming.
Fishing pier is a narrow floating dock that sways back and forth as you move or walk. Really too narrow for someone to get around someone fishing off of it.
There are gators and I wouldn't recommend swimming in the small pond or the river !
Campsites were awesome. Well maintained, clean and have all of the hookups...
