Orange Beach, on the Alabama Gulf coast, has beaches, the ocean and plenty of wilderness area. There are long beaches and the Tarkin Bayou Preserve State Park is nearby. Walking on the beach is a favorite activity, and there are many trails in the area off the beach. Deep sea fishing charters are available, as well as many water sports activities. It is a well-developed tourist area, but there is still plenty of nature to enjoy and experience. Travelers have a choice of campgrounds in the area.
Plantation Harbour RV Park is back a little from the busy Orange Beach attractions, so visitors can relax here between enjoying all there is to do on the Gulf coast. This campground has about any kind of accommodation that guests might want, whether they want to buy an RV and lot, rent an RV that is already set up or bring their own RV or pop-up. There are daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal rates.
All of the 166 spaces have full hookups--water, sewer and electric--with 30- and 50-amp connections. A few have 100-amp connections. There is also a daily trash pickup. Bathrooms and showers are available to guests. Cable-TV and Wi-Fi are free. There is a swimming pool, nature trail, meeting room, laundry, kitchen and game room. A pier, with boat slips, is available on Miflin Creek.
