Gulf State Park - The Jewel of Alabama State parks and Gulf coast. A winter Tour

It was time to try for some warmer temperatures. We took a trip down to visit some friends snowbirding at Orange Beach, AL. We chose to grab a campsite at Gulf State Park right across the beach road from their condo. While those campsites are plentiful (over 400), they can be hard to book. The first time I looked, none were available, but when I looked a few weeks later, they had become available. This state park has many different options for accommodations. I cover almost all of them. They have a lodge, waterfront cabins, and some wooded cabins. The Campground has well over 400 full hook up campsites as well as about 8 primitive sites. Also available, but not included in this video, are several Glamping tents near beachside downtown activities. The Park has a wide variety of ecosystems that provide a wide range of birding. And Bikes. Bring your bikes. the trail system is extensive. Oh yeah, and the endless beach with shuttle access from all the park's accommodations. 0:00 Intro to Gulf State Park 1:52 Hospitality village 3:20 Free Bike rentals 4:45 Bald Eagle Nest 5:44 Lakeside and Eagle Cabins 7:17 Woodside cabins 7:35 Woodside restaurant 8:18 Gulf Oak Ridge Trail 9:29 Pull through Campsites 11:11 Primitive Campsites 14:45 Premium Waterfront RV sites 15:12 Boardwalk to the beach 18:00 Nature Center live birds 19:05 Pool at Hospitality Village 19:40 Final thoughts #campgroundreviews #alabamastatepark #Gulfstatepark
