Demopolis AL to Gulf State Park

Going to be going from Foscue Creek COE in Demopolis Al. to Gulf State Park campground. Looks like my options are 43 from Demopolis to I-65 outside of Mobile to I-10 to 59 into Gulf Shores. The other option is 43 to 84 at Grove Hill, to 1 at Purdue Hill, then take 59 when 1 ends at it. The roads look pretty good from Google views, but they are from 2011. Have a 43' fifth wheel so don't want to end up on some narrow roads. Like the 2nd option as we don't really want to get into Mobile and the interstate.

    Thanks. This looks like the winner.

    If I was doing the trip I would take the second option. Maybe byways, but less hassle with Interstates etc.

    Most of our travels across the country have been on the byways. Had a dually and a 40 ft fifth wheel for most of it. We like the small town America routes. Looking at googles the byway route looks good but it's all in with your comfortable with.
