Gulf State Park is located in the city of Gulf Shores on the coast of Alabama.  The park consists of 6,150 acres with two miles of beach. There is camping, cottages, trails and fishing. There is also tennis, group pavilions, 18-hole golf course and a 900 acre lake.

The park opened in 1939, two years after the Intracoastal Waterway was completed. It wasn’t until the 1970s when the state became interested in developing facilities, and in 1972 a campground and beach pavilion were completed. Mr Hugh Branyon took over the park as superintendent in 1976 and spent 30 years managing. In 1979 Hurricane Frederic struck the park and the entire area was 3 to 5 feet under seawater badly damaging the pier and old lodge. 

We camped here in early December 2019 on our way down to Florida for the winter. We had a full hook-up site on the bay. It was a short 1 1/2 mile bike ride to the beach with an option to cross the highway or go across the bridge. There are also trails inside the park for hiking or biking.

There are 28 miles of paved trails or boardwalks, including seven trails of the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail complex. We rode our bikes on the Rosemary Dunes 2 mile paved trail and walked the Gopher Tortoise trail. We look forward to returning here to explore this beautiful area.
