    These curved chairs on the tanning ledge was my favorite place to be!

    Brace yourself - this one is gonna be long! We came for two nights while attending a concert at the wharf, which is located conveniently across the street, but somehow you feel like you're miles from everything (what is that sorcery?) and ended up wanting to sell all of my belongings, quit my job, and move here. I didn't want to go home, and that's the first time that's happened. This campground is BY FAR the best campground I've ever stayed at. Period. They have thought of everything, and I do mean everything. The sites are spacious, you're not on top of each other. You can rent golf carts and e-bikes, or bring your own. They have nature trails, a trail that connects to gulf state park, and several big fenced-in areas big enough for dogs to actually run around and burn energy, unlike other dog parks that just have a small rectangle. Their dog parks also have at least one tree each for shade, as well as a stainless steel built-in water fountain at ground level for the dogs! There's even a dog washing station so you can bathe your furry friends after a day of playing hard! There is a fitness center, a clubhouse for activities that also has two massage chairs with bookshelves, three separate pools (one is for adults only, age 19+.) The main amenities pool is at the very back of the campground and has a full restaurant that serves all three meals a day, as well as a pool bar that has a large assortment of beer, liquor, and frozen drinks. We got a margarita flight for $22 for 4 full-sized drinks, and they were GOOD! You can't take your own drinks or food to the main pool (with a bar and restaurant, why would you want to?) but you can take them to the adult pool and the pool at the welcome center, which also has a big hot tub and a view of the big lake where you can actually go fishing. There are fire pits, rocking chairs, and other comfy seating options at the pools. There is a large splash pad at the main amenities pool, a shaded cornhole area, sand volleyball, basketball courts, pickleball courts, an arcade, a big playground, and daily scheduled activities. If you're bored here, you're living wrong. You can check into this campground and never have to leave for anything. If you forgot something, just check the general store that's right there by the restaurant and arcade. They have it all! I've never been sad to go back home at the end of a trip, but I was this time. I was seriously trying to figure out how I could go home and sell our house and everything in it, quit our jobs, and just come live here. My kids (11 & 15) are going to love this place!

    It was 12 JUL 2021, and we were looking forward to our fourth RV trip in four months. We liked the Orange Beach, Alabama area, as we wanted to take our son to OWA. Based on the online reviews, we chose Pandion Ridge RV Park (now called Sun Outdoors Orange Beach). Back in 2021, Pandion Ridge had 142 all back-in sites. As soon as we entered into the Resort, it was apparent that Pandion Ridge had some of the neatest, most manicured landscaping I've ever seen. It's "Country Club" material. Although all the spots were back-in sites, and I consider myself a novice tower, especially backing in, there was enough room between sites to back in fairly easily. Since we had our son, we could not partake of the adult pool, but we did enjoy the main pool (now called pool area 1). We loved the proximity to the beach, The Wharf and Gulf State Park, and had a great time here. Fast forward to JUL 2023 and Sun Outdoors Orange Beach just added over 330 luxury RV sites bringing the total to almost 500 luxury back-in sites. The new expansion caters to all types of campers including snowbirds, short & long-term campers and families. There is now a second pool, splashpad, rental bikes, rental golf carts, on site laundry, propane filling, arcade, dog wash, fitness center and multiple outdoor recreation activities. They are " also the only privately owned resort with direct access to Gulf State Park, which is offering bike rental add-ons for a fee". Looking forward to a return trip.

    We come here several times a year. We usually come when we are going to a concert across the street at wharf. We have watched it go from a campground to a resort in the past couple years. There is now 3 pools, restaurants and bar, coffee shop, arcade, playgrounds, pickle ball, volleyball,basketball courts and lots more. We love this park because you have access to State Park to walk or ride the trails. The sites are all concrete pads they have chairs, gas fire pits, and a picnic table. Full hookups. The amenities are amazing for bathroom. You have your own private room with toilet and shower. We love it and will return.

    Don't think of this as a campground... It's a resort. I've never experienced a place that is maintained so well. Perfect place to stay while in Orange Beach. I definitely recommend bringing your electric bikes or scooters. The Gulf State Park trails are accessible from the resort. It's actually possible to get to the beaches through the trails (recommend your e-bikes or scooters). This is one question we had before arriving. It is very kid friendly. The pool and splash areas are great. Can't wait to come back.

    Nicest r.v. park. It's very clean. It has nice swimming pools and games for the kids and adults. You can't go wrong staying here.

    Very nice RV Park. We've been here for 8 days. Very clean. Lots of owners from all over. Dog friendly we'd come here again sometime in the future.

    This is what I posted.... So 100% change in our review. The location and sites are phenomenal. This was never in question. We were here when this site was being built back 5 or so years ago and were impressed with the thought and planning that went into Pandion Ridge. However, we have about 3 criteria that anywhere we stay have to meet. We called multiple times and spoke to multiple people to confirm that all our criteria were met. Upon arrival yesterday, we received documentation that reversed what we were told and what the website stated. Needless to say I was livid. Turns out that pnced we spoke to someone in charge, they corrected the situation. We will 100% return and bring our friends with us. Now this does not change the fact that all but one of the people we have dealt with are complete jerks. But it only takes one I guess. I would sincerely suggest employing peoe that understand that WE pay for their salaries, not vice versa.

    We came here for Labor Day and had a great stay. I somehow booked on lot 36 instead of 136... and didn't realize it until we were half an hour away, I called and spoke to Melony who was so helpful I was credited back my $30 lock in fee because why would I lock site 36!!? And I was able to use it in their little shop for ice and other items. By the time we arrived they had a cancellation and were able to move us closer to the pool, dog park and trail which is where we wanted to be. There are 2 pools, however with COVID they close at 7 and the adult swim pool is closed altogether. The larger pool is very nice and spacious, not too crowded. The beach is really close along with many other attractions. Make sure you have grilling items as there are no onsite grills, the only 2 I saw were in the area where the pool was closed but like most others we have our own grill.

Hoping this will be an annual event, as the art community convened a plein air event, bringing together artists with the inspiration of Gulf State Park's many habitats. The result was a large number of paintings which were for purchase at the closing reception at the end of the week. The weather was mild, the food and drink at The Lodge was yummy (I had the steak and eggs for brunch), and it was so cool to watch the artists paint live.

I've spotted alligators, blue heron, turtles, lizards.. very cool! All the campsite hosts are friendly and our check-in was very easy and we were also greeted with welcoming service. We chose campsite number 479 right next to Mission Lake and the pedestrian bridge that takes you to the ocean. This campground is so clean, beautiful, and offers multiple bathrooms with showers and restrooms. The bathrooms are clean and the showers have enough space to shower and change. Each campsite I've seen has a dump station and water, which has come in handy. There's also Wi-Fi! There's also a restaurant on the campgrounds and tomorrow night we are going to listen to live music and have a few drinks. I've truly loved my stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone! We were only going to stay for four nights but we extended it to a week because we are having such a great time.

    The only reason this park still exists is because of its location. Even that has suffered once the…read moregulf coast overpass was put in. The fact it is located right on a small stretch of inter coastal waterway makes it worth the while to stay here. However you have to tune out the constant traffic noise of the over pass directly above! This only applies if your lucky enough to get one of the two spots where p As Chris Farley said, "I live in a van down by the river ..!" Needs the words added "under the bridge!" The people are nice, but the row of campers permanently parked along the water leaves 2 spots available for transient people coming through. Otherwise, your in a mobile home park complete with old broken down trailers and all sorts of broken machinery around including old vehicles outside of old worn out decks and custom awnings. People have grown out of their trailers and have refrigerators and "junk" strewn about everywhere. In spite of that it is safe and the people are nice who have the view. They have it all! The rest have to deal with looking st each other and talking over the road noise. Pot holes fill the streets guaranteed to shake everything loose inside your rig, the public spaces such as the bathrooms... well just look at the pictures and you decide. I walked in, looked around, turned around then walked out never to return. My camper was sprayed by the ferrel cats that dominate the shoreline. I'm an animal lover, but I'll be dog gone if I'm gonna let cats smell up my trailer!

    I am not normally the kind of person that writes reviews, but this location has me so frustrated…read morethat I want to make sure that no one else experiences what I have and hope that someone reads this. I am very disappointed. I have camped at Southport before, and have been attempting to contact them to make a reservation for about 3 weeks. First, upon calling the voicemail box was full. Then, when trying to call again I received an auto text response that indicated that they were on another line. I have e-mailed the address listed on the site twice, neither of which received a response. I tried calling again multiple times and received the same text. Finally on April 30th, I decided to text the auto response message and request information on a reservation - and got a response requesting to know how many people and tents I would need. I replied with the information, and that was the last I heard from them. It is now May 8th, and after repeated voice mails and text messages requesting information on the rental, I have been completely ignored. The phone has never been answered and I have attempted to call many times. I would not recommend this campsite to anyone.

I had no idea that they had started charging to go to the far end of the pier as that wasn't the case when I last visited. As a veteran I get free parking and also free entrance to the pier. I never saw any signage that indicated I had to pay to walk out to the pier but I did get yelled at for just walking out on the pier past the "commercial zone" and had to show my military veteran ID to proceed. I found it odd that I was somehow magically supposed to know that there was a fee or requirement to show my veteran ID when I never saw any sign to that effect. The lady that yelled at me came out of a door so she was inside where I couldn't have seen her so they should certainly add some signs that explain what they want more clearly to avoid weird situations like this. They also have a restaurant and bar here but I would suggest eating somewhere else. The pier does seem to be a decent place to fish and I saw several people bringing in some nice sized fish. Overall this seems like a good option if you want to fish off a pier or just enjoy the great view here. If I had to pay to just walk to the end of the pier I wouldn't have done that as you can get a good enough view from the "commercial zone" where the bar and restaurant are located. Overall this is an interesting spot to check out but I just heard they have raised the price of parking so that might make this area less attractive to visit.
