Gunter Hill, MS to Escatawpa Hollow Park AL — Driving Directions
Escatawpa Hollow Park & Campground is a Mobile County Park not a State Park. The campground area opened in 2023 and is beautiful. The campground has cement pads with full hookups, large bathhouse, laundry facility, camp store, and beach area. The park isn’t complete yet. They are still adding features like multiple trails (currently there are trails but they are adding more) and restaurant. The people who work at the park are absolutely the best….
Best of all it’s located within 10 minutes of Robert & Glenda’s house.
The only downside of the park is its next highway 98 and a bridge. Lots of semi’s pass by and periodically you can hear them. Fortunately, with a fan on at night the noise is drowned out.
We visited the last week of March and the weather was absolutely perfect. Not too warm or cold.
The campground requires 1 day stay payment and the rest upon arrival.

Site information
Site 2 was near the entrance of the park. No issues with getting in. See picture for leveling information.
Road constructions going east (when exiting the park) that was not an issue. The ramp to Robert & Glenda’s house was closed and cops sit there to give tickets. So watch out :-). Beautiful Park sign. The sign can be hard to see from the road because when entering you go into a valley.
This is the park entrance date. During the day the gate is open and at night closed. I like the extra security. Still, it doesn’t keep folks from walking in and causing mischief. But I heard that it adding security like this makes mischief makers think twice and reduces the likelihood of trouble.
This is the security gate into the Campground part of the park. The gates are always closed, and the password is given upon arrival and final payment of the camping fees.
Everything fit into the parking area with a little space left over.
3 white blocks on both of the front stabilizers. The bikes were locked to the front stabilizer.
Driver side tires required 1 board. The level ha 3 white blocks and 1 yellow.
Passenger side tires did not require a board. 3 white blocks were added to the stabilizer
Great Starlink low orbit internet. We used the pole for setup.
Both bikes are moved via trunk of my car. Way easier than lifting into trailer, putting in office and strapping down.
