We spent 2 nights here and were pleasantly surprised. Our site was an extra long pull-thru which was level and easily accommodated our 42 foot motorhome and toad. Cable and wifi worked well and were included in the charge. The swimming pool was never crowded and the spa was warm and inviting. There was plenty of room to walk the dogs and also an enclosed dog run. The park is close to Lamberts, the Tanger outlet mall and the beaches. Be sure to get directions to the Pirate's Cove, a small eatery on the water that will welcome you and your dog. We will definitely return when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice, clean and quiet park. Staff is friendly and helpful. Wide streets make navigating park with a large rig very easy. Easy 8 mile drive to beaches. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Rate estimated from monthly rate, which is all inclusive (including electric). We arrived in the midst of strong storms, the staff processed us quickly, we were escorted and guided into our back in site, all before the storms hit. The campground is easy for big rigs with wide paved roads. There are pull throughs available. Hookups are in a convenient layout. There are lots of cable TV channels, free Wi-Fi, good Verizon signal. The staff is friendly and helpful. Lots to do in the area. Great campground, will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent park with friendly staff. Close to Lamberts restaurant and the shopping center. Have stayed here many times. I highly recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground was fantastic. We stayed during spring break. We were met by the owner when we pulled in after hours and he personally escorted us to our site and helped my husband back in.We also had a problem with a water leak and they were very helpful directing us to a repair center. The sites were concrete pads and level. The bathrooms were extremely clean. The kids had a great time playing in the pool and at the pirate ship playground. We will definitely stay here when we come to the beach!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate is for a weekly stay. Well-maintained cg with wide paved roads. All sites are concrete pads. Extra long pull-thrus easily accommodated our 40-fter plus tow. Restrooms very clean. Beautiful pool/hot tub. Managers are always on-site and work hard. When we first got here, we thought the other campers were a little click y, but a large number of them are snowbirds who have been here all winter. Daily noise of sirens from busy Rte. 59 just outside of campground. Don't miss Old Time Pottery store a half-mile away! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wonderful, clean, quiet RV park. Away from the traffic and noise. Sites were wide, road were wide and easy to get in and out of your site without having to worry. Everything was new and clean. These wasn't one thing I could say negative about it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent park. Very friendly owners and campers. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great campground with very friendly management. They even help you back into your site if applicable. Sites are large and roomy. The pool is very large and well kept. There is a hot tub and playground as well. If you mention their website, they give a 10% discount on the nightly rate. We stayed 3 nights. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed there for a week after leaving WestWales RV park due to poor conditions. This is a great park with a very friendly staff. We had a group of seven RVs and they were able to place us very close together on only a one days notice. We will certainly stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice park. All sites have level concrete pads. Free wi-fi, and pool. Close to Gulf Shores. I will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is wonderful. This is our home away from home. The staff makes you feel welcome. We are very close to the owners, and they have worked their butts off to make this RV resort what it is today. To the man that gave them four stars and said that the monthly rate was really, really high and the exercise room was very dirty. Did you ever stop to think that maybe someone before you may has messed it up. Did you bring this to the owners attention for the matter to be taken care of? You know life is too short to find problems with everything in life. Bottom line, Anchors Aweigh RV Resort is the best of the best and we love it there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Newer, family run park. Concrete pads, and roads. Great new facilities – clean showers. Great looking pool but we did not use it. They have an exercise room that has very little equipment and most of it seems old. Plus, this exercise room was very dirty. Plenty of space between sites. Closed to Hwy 59 but far enough not to hear any road noise. Stayed two nights, asked about staying for a month but the price was really, really high for a monthly. Will return for an overnight or a day or two only. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great park owners. Very well maintained large sites. Nice pool and laundry. Close to good restaurants. Only drawback is no shade or trees on site.We would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very well kept park. Manicured grass with concrete pads. We will not stay anywhere else in this area. Great pool and hot tub facilities. Friendly staff. Easy access to beach and restaurants. Don't stay anywhere else. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed 2 nights on a scheduled 3 night stay as part of a local club rally. The rally broke camp one day early because of forecast of severe weather with a strong possibility of large hail. Excellent campground with smooth paved streets, easy turns, large paved level sites with excellent hook-ups. Meeting room, hot tub, quiet area. Our club has re-booked for this fall. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I strongly agree with all previous comments. Great RV park. Will be coming back! Quiet, great location, strong WiFi connection. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great campground and one of the main reasons is that it was designed by an RVer. It has wide, level concrete pads with patios and picnic tables on each site. There is thick grass throughout the park so mud is not an issue. It also has very wide access roads that make it easy to get into the sites. The cable and Wi-Fi work very well and the campground, including the restrooms, is absolutely spotless. The best thing about this park, however, are the owners. They live on site and are friendly and accommodating and are willing to go out of their way to help. Another great thing is that this park is only 5 minutes from shopping, groceries and Wal-Mart but it is very quiet. More parks should be designed like this one. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stay at Anchors Aweigh every time we travel across I-10 because of friendly management and paved level sites with picnic table. Wide grassy area between sites. During the winter there is a high concentration of snow-birds but that allows us to meet more diverse folks. During Lent they have a Friday fish fry. Then pancake and sausage breakfast every Saturday AM (extra $$). We have and would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We are staying here now. We have been here two nights. This is an excellent park. Everyone is friendly and helpful. We were shown our space and were helped with the backing. We were offered help to set up. The restrooms and showers are private and spotless. Pretty pool and hot tub, small playground for young children. Close to many resturants and shopping. App. 7 miles to the gulf. Sites are large, concrete with easy access to water, power and sewer. Wi-Fi comes with the price and works well. The grounds are very clean, with a nice pet walk and clean up bags provided. There is also a fish cleaning area at the exit from the park. I will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is really a great campground......we will definitely return! Management was really helpful. There were ants near our site when we arrived and were taken care of within 5 minutes! The gentleman even backed my camper into the spot for me. Bathhouse has clean private shower rooms. Sites, patios and roads were paved and wide. The pool was very clean and nice. All sites offer both 50 and 30 amp service. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed in several campgrounds in the Gulf Shores area and this one is definitely the best. Great friendly people who operate it. Well manicured grass with nice level pads. Pool area and bathrooms were very clean. Very good Internet. A must stop if you are in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was our first trip in our travel trailer. The attendants were extremely helpful in getting us set up and stayed with us until we were fully functional. This park is very well laid out and convenient to enter and exit. We will return again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Boy oh boy- - - where do I start. This CG is spanking brand new and everything is just squeaky clean. There is an angel working the office named Anne and I can't say enough about her and how much she helped me in setting up our club's rally over a very busy weekend in Southern Alabama. The CATV is super, the free Wi-Fi is fast enough to satisfy you when you think that it's free! The clubhouse is very nice and offers a big screen TV for your pleasure and a full kitchen for rallies and the like. A neat little side item that was advantageous to us ralliers was that the snowbirds ( a pretty good population ) cook up a full breakfast every saturday morning for a 3 buck donation- - - can't beat that! This campground is close to everything you'd ever want to be doing as far as extracurricular activities are concerned. I'll definitely be returning soon. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We've stayed at Anchors Aweigh twice in February on both legs of a trip to Florida - going and returning to Louisiana. NEW Park just opened in October, 2006 with WIDE streets and sites. Excellent husband and wife management team - Rodney and Anne really make you feel at home and most of all Welcome. This CG is at the top of our list for return visits. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a great little park we stayed at on our way to TX from Florida. The owner has put a lot of love into this place, and they have one of the best club houses we've seen. Laundry facilities are neat as a pin and inexpensive. The grounds are neat, but basic. Don't expect a resort-environment here. You make your own fun. The only downside is the sites are a little close together, but that didn't present much of a problem. Residents are super friendly and there's lots of room to roam. A great place to stay for a week or a season. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It is not a real resort, but very convenient to golf on a small course. I might be back because it is very quiet and has a great location. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Really nice people to check you in and were on site. It was raining very hard when we came in and they said we could write or check in the AM....of course they had our credit card number from the reservation, but that was so very thoughtful. Most sites are cement pads, a little patio and then some grass. Nice enough showers, small but adequate. As we walked our dog people and dogs were very friendly. We used CCWS here, so rate was only $14. Very quiet and yet close enough to Foley and Gulf Shores. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you enjoy playing par three golf, then this is the place for you! Great little course adjacent to the park, and for a mere $7, one can play all the golf one wants - for the entire day! There are nice level concrete pads that we backed into with our travel trailer. There were very friendly campers who were staying for most of the winter. They welcomed us immediately, and we enjoyed a fabulous Thanksgiving pot luck lunch with everyone else in the park. We loved Magnolia Springs RV Hideaway and Golf Resort, would highly recommend it and hope to stay there again - for more than two weeks next time! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a fairly nice park, but the management was very rude and condescending to us. They refused to honor the campground membership club that we belong to in spite of the fact that they were listed on the club membership web site as members. While we tried to resolve the issue with the management of the club they became impatient about receiving payment. They at least gave us a discount based on one of the other clubs to which they say they belong. We were in a site next to their garbage bin which was near overflowing when we got there and they never had a pick up during the three days that we were there. They occasionally pushed the garbage tighter in the bin. It stunk! It is too bad because the park itself is OK. The site we were in backed up to a nice wooded area in the back. Hopefully the owners will replace the park managers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice small park. Level sites, free golfing, friendly staff. Lots of long term campers. No play ground. Pet friendly. Nice to be away from the hectic traffic of Gulf Shores but close enough to take in all the activities and beaches. CCUSA rates. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
WiFi was not working when we were there. We camp here often throughout the year. The WiFi is a constant problem for us. Generally the owner(s) do not get serious about WiFi and other items until the snow birds get there. The snow birds can be very territorial and unfriendly. I agree with other reviewers' comments about the park being close enough but still out of the way. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice little golf park and would be a fun place to stay for a week or longer. We found getting our 5th wheel into our site extremely difficult and sure wouldn't want to go through the contortions again for a shorter stay. All the facilities appeared clean and neat. If you're traveling with kids and they aren't old enough to enjoy playing golf, this isn't the park for you. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is well maintained. The top row is reserved for occasional campers. This row has level concrete pads with lush grass surrounding each site. Above the top row is a recreation hall which also has restrooms/showers. Beyond the recreation hall is a 9 hour, par 3 golf course. Everything is very beautiful and quiet. I stay about three days each month on business. I use Passport America and get my lot for $10 a day. Wifi is available for a $1 a day. The park is extending. The only negative is some monthly campers on the bottom row that are local working folks. But hey working people need a place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park was well kept. What interested us the most was the 9 hole par 3 golf course that was adjacent to the campground. The staff was out all the time either on the course or around the campground doing work. The golf course was just beautiful. I wouldn't say it was not family friendly because there were children there when we were there. Of course there is no pool which would be a plus for families w/children. It is very convenient to Mobile, Gulf Shores, Fairhope and Foley. We will go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here two weeks and found it to be a pleasant, quiet place. All sites are angled back-ins and I had no trouble backing in with my 40' MH. WiFi is $1 per day and works well on the first level where all the pads and patios are concrete. Second level the patios are concrete the sites gravel and a third level is under construction. As mentioned there is no pool or playground areas for children but it is a great place to visit the beach, Ft. Morgan, Mobile and many other things. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a Passport America park. Rates are currently $18, but are going up to $20 for 2005. This campground is well maintained, management very friendly. Sites are on two levels - the top row has concrete sites with patios and concrete access road and is free of overhanging trees for easy satelite access. The bottom row has gravel road with dirt and grass sites with patios and some larger trees. Sites are large enough for slides and awnings with a little room to spare. It is advertised as large enough for 40ft. vehicles. There is a large room for meetings or pot luck dinners(held often), tv w/satelite, games & puzzles, bookshelf full of books to share. Wireless internet is available for a dollar a day. They add your wireless card mac # to their system for access, no password and fee is paid when you leave. It is not advertised as an adult only park, but there are no activities here for children. Discount golf fees are available for campers. Foley is 6 miles or so from Gulf Shores so there is plenty to do. The town has Walmart, Home Depot, etc for shopping. We've been here for two weeks and will stay until Dec 27. Everyone here is very friendly. Most are here for the entire season. I think this is a fairly new park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Be careful if bringing in pets. First thing they told us was the rules. We were told that if we didn't pickup our dogs business right after she was done we were out. if we left our site for any reason and didn't take the dog we were out. if our kids were loud we were out. the list went on for about 3 min. This was after they took our money. The office staff was very rude and made it known that they did not want Kids or pets in their park and that they wanted us to be 55 or older. The sites were not bad and mostly level. Good drive to get to the beach, about 7 miles. Lots of traffic noise if you are near the gate. Don't think you would like this place if you have kids. Won't be going back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is definitely for the 55+ age group. While here for a month we didn't see any children. Don't feed the plastic ducks in the lake. Never saw a live duck or goose in the small pond (lake?). Gravel sites pretty level. Lots of small trees. Very small pool. No exercise facilities. Cable TV was free. WiFi costs $30 a month but weak signal and slow. Not many activities in the park. This is a laid back quiet park. No fires allowed except a central location for special events. Cost per month was $450. All in all a decent park for the money. Everyone was nice & friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
All of the staff was very, very nice. Park was very clean and well lanscaped; but too many trees. Address is confusing! Easy to pass-up. Pool was very clean, but small. Sites are plenty long with gravel and pretty level. Does not accept any discount memberships. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was only park with availability around July 4th weekend that was semi-close (30 min) to Gulf Shores, AL. The park was okay. Pool super small and they decided not to open until noon last day (kids were very disappointed). Would not return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A beautiful park!! Found it in Passbook America. No longer in Passport America, but honored the price. Hosts were outstanding. Would have liked to stay longer. Lots of room at the sites. Bathromms and showers outstanding- in beauty and cleanliness! Swings placed around lake- all in all very picturesque. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is well cared for, but there were no activities, except church services, and both the pool and hot tub were closed for the 2 months we were there (Feb.- Mar. 2008). The staff seem friendly, but just work 9 - 5 and do not have much investment in the guests. WiFi is not free and the 'lake' is just a pond. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a worn out park recently purchased by Leisure Concepts Management who is attempting to turn it into a "condo" concept. They were attempting to sell sites but with little success and if you saw the park you would know why. There is a small lake in the older section of the park that is surrounded by sites, all gravel. The north end of the park is basically a field with utilities, poor landscaping with metal industrial/warehouse buildings. A new pool but really a kid size and that's about it for amenities. They did build a very nice sales office, I wonder why? The staff was great but obviously embarrassed about their product. Don't waste your time or hard earned money here. If going to the Gulf Shores area, attempt to get into the Gulf Shores State Park. We found it too late. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful park, excellent service, very, very clean. Owners and management very friendly, treated everyone courteously and family atmosphere, will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
