Recommendations for CG early May in Gulfshores, Al. Seafood restaurant recommendations.

Gulf State Park is wonderful. FHU, great bath houses, pool, wifi in certain parts, laundry, everything you could want. Some sites are on the lake, but none of the campgrounds there are ON the ocean. At $35 or whatever it is, it's a bargain. We have stayed at a few others, but the SP is the place for us. You also have free access to the pier and the pavillion (right on the beach) that has good showers, snack bar, etc. The campground has the largest sites we have seen in GS. Many of them feel just like parking lots even though they may be a few yards closer to the beach.Gulf State ParkLuxury RV ParkIsland RetreatThese maps will give you an comparison of the size of the sites.

Take out.......Buford's Smokehouse BBQ 1618 Gulf Shores PkwySit down...FUN....Lambert's Cafe 2981 S. McKenzie (Hwy 59) Foley, 8 miles north of Gulf Shores. Home of the 'Throwed Roll'

Gulf State Park. Great location, great price and beautiful park.

Another vote for Gulf State Park. We will be there in about 3 weeks for a week. We go there at least once a year.

As others have said, Gulf State Park is the best for Gulf Shores. Luxury RV Park, Island Retreat RV Park, and Doc’s RV park are in a good location for visiting Gulf Shores.Good seafood can be had at the Shrimp Basket and DeSoto’s Seafood Kitchen is a good choice too. Lambert’s is down home style of cooking and you owe it to yourself to visit “the home of the throw’d rolls.” Good food and plenty of it. Also visit Tacky Jacks bar and grill and order a Bushwacker, it’s like an adult chocolate shake (lots of rum).

Check out Lu Lu's Bar & Grill along the inland waterway in Gulf Shores. It's a fun place with an outside area for kids to play in a really large "sandbox". They have seafood on the menu. Try their seafood gumbo. Lu Lu is Jimmy Buffett's sister. They sometimes have live music that is always good.

Any places to purchase fresh seafood to be able to take and prepare?

Joe Patti's Fish Market in Pensacola is awesome. It's about 30 miles away.

Our favs. Poppa Rocco's pizza. Not just a pizza joint, seafood, oysters and live band. But of course the pizza is what they are famous for. Locals place. You won't be disappointed. Doc's seafood is another fav.
