Route to Gulf Shores State Campground

We are going to Gulf Shores State Campground in April. I would like to know what it the best way to get to it from East I-10 coming from tallahassee.
  • When you get into Gulf Shores, your GPS will want to take you on a little small twisty road from Hwy 59 to the beach road. It is easier to stay on 59 to the beach road pulling a camper. Not pulling a car, they little twisty road maybe a minute or two quicker.

    One exception would be if you are going when they have a festival at the intersection of 59 and the beach road. They have a couple of those a year.
  • The baldwin beach express is the exit east before hwy59. We take that and it runs into 59 about half way down.
  • I take Hwy 59 south right into Gulf Shores (Gulf Shores Parkway).

    Go to the dead end at the beach and turn left.
  • According to Google maps:

    Get on I-10 W
    12 min (4.2 mi)


    Follow I-10 W to Ensley. Take exit 7 from I-10 W
    2 h 40 min (192 mi)


    Take FL-173 S/N Blue Angel Pkwy, FL-292 W and AL-182 W to your destination in Gulf Shores
    56 min (35.0 mi)
