Title: Discover Paradise: Big Lagoon State Park Review

Nestled along the stunning coastline of Perdido, Big Lagoon State Park is a true haven for nature enthusiasts and adventurers alike. From the moment you set foot in this picturesque paradise, you're greeted by a symphony of sights and sounds that awaken the senses and rejuvenate the soul.

The highlight of Big Lagoon State Park is undoubtedly its mesmerizing views. Whether you're standing atop one of the scenic overlooks or lounging in the comfort of one of the charming trailers, the panoramic vistas of the lagoon and surrounding landscape are simply breathtaking. It's a place where you can lose yourself in the beauty of nature and rediscover a sense of wonder.

The park's well-maintained trails wind through a diverse array of ecosystems, from lush forests to pristine wetlands. Each step brings you closer to nature, with opportunities to spot wildlife and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the surroundings. Whether you're an avid hiker or a casual stroller, there's a trail for every level of adventurer.

The addition of trailers as accommodations adds an extra layer of comfort and convenience to the park experience. These cozy retreats offer all the comforts of home, allowing you to relax and unwind after a day of exploration. It's the perfect way to immerse yourself in nature without sacrificing the comforts of modern living.

Of course, no visit to Big Lagoon State Park would be complete without experiencing the crystal-clear waters of the lagoon itself. Whether you're kayaking through the mangrove forests, fishing from the shoreline, or simply basking in the sun on the sandy beaches, the lagoon offers endless opportunities for relaxation and recreation.

In conclusion, Big Lagoon State Park is a true gem on the coast of Perdido. With its breathtaking views, diverse trails, comfortable accommodations, and pristine waters, it offers the perfect escape from the stresses of everyday life. Whether you're seeking adventure or simply some time to reconnect with nature, this park has something...

This natural habitat is so relaxing! We camped in a tent for 3 nights at the end of June and LOVED IT!! We've stayed here once before in June and enjoyed our time then as well. We loved walking all the raised board walk nature trails, as well as relaxing at the clean tent camping site. Everything was so convenient! Each site has a fire pit, a picnic table, and poles (to string a line between). My little boy (age 6) loved the warm water beach, riding his scooter on the raised board walk nature trails, playing at the camp site, and visiting the camp store. The bathrooms are clean and conveniently located. They do a good job of repairing the boardwalks for safety. I ESPECIALLY LOVED climbing the lookout tower to see the BEAUTIFUL sunset and full moon. (P.S. we didn't plan that. GOD just Blessed us with HIS awe-inspiring Beautiful of Nature!) There are also pavilions scattered throughout the park (mostly at the Beach sites) to use at your convenience. Just know that basic things like Ice , wood, lighters, etc. are half price at the stores if you take a 5-10 minute ride into town. And with most of the water being warm, there are CERTAIN SPOTS in the park (NOT the beach site!) that they have posted signs warning of the possibility of Alligators. The Beach is too close to the Boat launch and other activities for the possibility of Alligators. We Loved Every Minute we spent at Big Lagoon State Park and plan on making more Great memories there...

Sadly disappointed in the Big Lagoon State Park, Years ago I took my children there and loved it. This time I took my grandkids, I didn’t get on the website to check it out because we had been here multiple times before. So it was very disappointing to pay at the gate and no one told us that everything was closed except for the little area by the boat dock. We found this out after we paid and got in the park and see the do not enter signs. You would think the person at the check un station would explain this before they take your money. I would happily give the 6 dollars and left the park. We was approached by a fisherman telling us this was not a good place to hangout in the water because of stingrays, pretty scary for a 3 and 6 year old, not to mention the adults being terrified to let the excited little ones in the water.. The sand was black and there were wasp nest in it. Very unclean and unsafe.. We left with two very unhappy kids who was excited to get in the waveless pool of water and explore like my children had done in the past. I understand the hurricane damage and still working on repairs, what I don’t understand is why it’s not posted at the gate letting everyone know before they enter. Not everyone gets on websites before they go.. I really hope the staff gets everything cleaned up and opened up because it is a beautiful place past the boat dock/...

We tent camped for a night because Blackwater State park was totally flooded and we originally had spots there. Almost half this park is not accessible still from hurricane Sally damage. A lot of the campsites were wet from rain, some flooded. Ours was up on a hill so we were fine but a lot of ther campers were not happy. Can't control weather though! My kids are little so we missed having a playground to play at...there are 2 big swings and 2 baby swings. We brought their bikes so we just went on a few walks with bikes. The boat ramp was open and there's a small beach next to it but we didn't make it down there. There's an excessive mount of picnic tables by the boat ramp as well if you're wanting a picnic with a view of water lol. I was pleased with how clean the shower house/restrooms were. I was in them a lot with potty training kids lol. We will come back when everything is open and drier! You can't control Mother Nature and you just have to work with what you've got! The staff was very kind and friendly too. (Check out their website for a map and for the exact things open and closed.)
