AZALEA ACRES RV PARK

AZALEA ACRES RV PARK

27450 Glass RD
Robertsdale, AL 36567
(251) 947-9530



I can't tell a lie, we found this RV park by dumb luck. With all the research we do when planing our trips or our next RV park some times you just need luck too. On a day trip to Alabama when we crossed the Alabama State line we made a pit stop at the visitor & welcome center. While looking for attraction near the state line we noticed the RV parks flyers. All the flyers were advertising for monthly rate less than what we were paying in Florida. So, we decided if we had time after our day trip we would drive by the RV parks and take a look at them. To keep the story short, we looked at three other RV parks and then we saw the sign board for Azalea Acres. We were close and had time so we made one last stop. Turned out to be the best thing we did. The other RV parks were nice, but noting like this. Azalea Acres was clean, the owners along with the workampers was kind and polite and the for the deal breaker ... the bathroom and showers are the cleanest I have seen.     



Azalea Acres is an adult only RV Park. The site sits on about 24 acres of land with about 50+ full hook up sites with 30 and 50 watts and about 12 acres is wooded area for walking trails (checkout their website for exact details). There are so many different paths to take it's different every time. The lots are pretty good size with a picnic table. We can fit our RV, car, tow dally, two bicycles, all our outside chair and tables and still have room for more. The accommodations are by far the best I have seen. There is free WiFi throughout the park and also in the club house on three different accesses. The club house is the eye catcher. It has a full kitchen, tables to hang out to drink coffee or play cards. There is a flat screen TV with Direct TV access for community viewing. Sunday's are the best to watch football with other campers. They have hundred of puzzles and book to keep you busy on cold and rainy days. The laundry room is the biggest I have seen. There are five washers and dryers with a folding table, deep sink and to top it off there is also a iron so you don't have to take your cloths back to your camper wrinkled. On the grounds there is a horse shoe pit and two gateball or croquet sets. I'm surprised I have not seen anyone playing cornhole. There is a monthly calender of events with group walks, craft, Texas hold'em, pot luck once a month, movie night once a month and there was Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. You can walk into the club house around mid day and always find a card game go on (most of the time golf. I've never heard of it, but I watch and try and learn.... maybe one day I'll jump in). We were surprised if you place your garbage out by the street before 10:00 am a workamper will drive by and pick it up for you. We've never seen this before, the owner gives out free food. We have taken advantage of this more than once. So far we have gotten pecans, red leaf lettuce and satsuma. The owners are in the process of building a pavillion for outdoor actives. On a nice clear night just look up and you can every star in the sky. The location is perfect, you are about 45 minutes away from Mobile, AL and Pensacola, FL. If you want to stop for one night or a long period of time and are near the the Florida panhandle state line (I 10 E/W) pull your rig into Azalea Acres RV Park you will enjoy your stay just like so many other RV'ers before you.

  2. We hope to visit at least one place a week and keep it balanced one week my place, one week her's and sometimes something we both like. I will continue to try and take good pictures to make it feel like the reader is on the trip with me.
