Meaher State Park in Spanish Fort unveiled its completed campground expansion Friday, August 15. The expansion includes four new cabins and a new park office.

Meaher attracts thousands of visitors annually thanks to its proximity to Gulf Coast beaches, Interstate 10 and the Eastern Shore.

Park visitors can now look forward to:

45 luxury RV campsites with full hookups
A new bathhouse with 11 family-style restrooms
Four waterfront tiny cabins
New park headquarters with staff offices
An interpretive center for education
A new entrance gate and fence along Battleship Parkway

“We’ve made it no secret that our goal is to provide a first-class experience for all of our visitors at our State Parks, especially when it comes to overnight accommodations.

The additional campground spaces, as well as the beautiful tiny cabins, mean that more people than ever can visit and enjoy this park.”
Chris Blankenship, Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) commissioner

The campground and bathhouse improvements are thanks to the RESTORE Act, a federal trust fund started after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Other additions were funded in part by $80 million approved by voters in 2022 for state parks and $1.1 million from GOMESA, which benefits the Gulf oil and gas producing states.

State Parks Director Matthew Capps
