I have stayed several times on Dauphin Island.
(The Dauphin is the oldest son of the French king)
There are 2 campgrounds on the island......one old
large 'public' and one new very small private.
The public one is usually preferred, and there is a
small amount of shade. No pool . The private one
has NO shade, but has a small pool. There is NO
entertainment on the island, except swimming and surf
fishing. There is a small, well stocked grocery store,
and a few restaurants.....2 gas stations. A fun ferry
runs back and forth to Gulf Shores across Mobile Bay.
It's a LONG trip back toward Mobile for major shopping,
so take what you need. Surf is suitable, but not as
clean as the water further east at Gulf Shores and Pensacola.
There are charter fishing trips, and an old fort to tour.
P M me for more.
