We spent eight days here and enjoyed our stay. The sites are level, cement pad, good spacing between units, easy hookups. Only problem is the lack of mature trees. Level, paved roads, good neighbors and very friendly, helpful office staff. Looking forward to staying there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great place to stay! My husband was working night shifts while we were here and the managers were very friendly and accommodating! We stayed four weeks and couldn't ask for anything more! Thanks so much for everything! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It is a great location with easy access to shopping and the beaches! The staff was very friendly and courteous. There is a nice pool with a small clubhouse. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We spent 2 nights here and were pleasantly surprised. Our site was an extra long pull-thru which was level and easily accommodated our 42 foot motorhome and toad. Cable and wifi worked well and were included in the charge. The swimming pool was never crowded and the spa was warm and inviting. There was plenty of room to walk the dogs and also an enclosed dog run. The park is close to Lamberts, the Tanger outlet mall and the beaches. Be sure to get directions to the Pirate's Cove, a small eatery on the water that will welcome you and your dog. We will definitely return when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice, clean and quiet park. Staff is friendly and helpful. Wide streets make navigating park with a large rig very easy. Easy 8 mile drive to beaches. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Rate estimated from monthly rate, which is all inclusive (including electric). We arrived in the midst of strong storms, the staff processed us quickly, we were escorted and guided into our back in site, all before the storms hit. The campground is easy for big rigs with wide paved roads. There are pull throughs available. Hookups are in a convenient layout. There are lots of cable TV channels, free Wi-Fi, good Verizon signal. The staff is friendly and helpful. Lots to do in the area. Great campground, will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent park with friendly staff. Close to Lamberts restaurant and the shopping center. Have stayed here many times. I highly recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground was fantastic. We stayed during spring break. We were met by the owner when we pulled in after hours and he personally escorted us to our site and helped my husband back in.We also had a problem with a water leak and they were very helpful directing us to a repair center. The sites were concrete pads and level. The bathrooms were extremely clean. The kids had a great time playing in the pool and at the pirate ship playground. We will definitely stay here when we come to the beach!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate is for a weekly stay. Well-maintained cg with wide paved roads. All sites are concrete pads. Extra long pull-thrus easily accommodated our 40-fter plus tow. Restrooms very clean. Beautiful pool/hot tub. Managers are always on-site and work hard. When we first got here, we thought the other campers were a little click y, but a large number of them are snowbirds who have been here all winter. Daily noise of sirens from busy Rte. 59 just outside of campground. Don't miss Old Time Pottery store a half-mile away! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wonderful, clean, quiet RV park. Away from the traffic and noise. Sites were wide, road were wide and easy to get in and out of your site without having to worry. Everything was new and clean. These wasn't one thing I could say negative about it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent park. Very friendly owners and campers. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great campground with very friendly management. They even help you back into your site if applicable. Sites are large and roomy. The pool is very large and well kept. There is a hot tub and playground as well. If you mention their website, they give a 10% discount on the nightly rate. We stayed 3 nights. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed there for a week after leaving WestWales RV park due to poor conditions. This is a great park with a very friendly staff. We had a group of seven RVs and they were able to place us very close together on only a one days notice. We will certainly stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice park. All sites have level concrete pads. Free wi-fi, and pool. Close to Gulf Shores. I will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is wonderful. This is our home away from home. The staff makes you feel welcome. We are very close to the owners, and they have worked their butts off to make this RV resort what it is today. To the man that gave them four stars and said that the monthly rate was really, really high and the exercise room was very dirty. Did you ever stop to think that maybe someone before you may has messed it up. Did you bring this to the owners attention for the matter to be taken care of? You know life is too short to find problems with everything in life. Bottom line, Anchors Aweigh RV Resort is the best of the best and we love it there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Newer, family run park. Concrete pads, and roads. Great new facilities – clean showers. Great looking pool but we did not use it. They have an exercise room that has very little equipment and most of it seems old. Plus, this exercise room was very dirty. Plenty of space between sites. Closed to Hwy 59 but far enough not to hear any road noise. Stayed two nights, asked about staying for a month but the price was really, really high for a monthly. Will return for an overnight or a day or two only. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great park owners. Very well maintained large sites. Nice pool and laundry. Close to good restaurants. Only drawback is no shade or trees on site.We would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very well kept park. Manicured grass with concrete pads. We will not stay anywhere else in this area. Great pool and hot tub facilities. Friendly staff. Easy access to beach and restaurants. Don't stay anywhere else. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed 2 nights on a scheduled 3 night stay as part of a local club rally. The rally broke camp one day early because of forecast of severe weather with a strong possibility of large hail. Excellent campground with smooth paved streets, easy turns, large paved level sites with excellent hook-ups. Meeting room, hot tub, quiet area. Our club has re-booked for this fall. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I strongly agree with all previous comments. Great RV park. Will be coming back! Quiet, great location, strong WiFi connection. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great campground and one of the main reasons is that it was designed by an RVer. It has wide, level concrete pads with patios and picnic tables on each site. There is thick grass throughout the park so mud is not an issue. It also has very wide access roads that make it easy to get into the sites. The cable and Wi-Fi work very well and the campground, including the restrooms, is absolutely spotless. The best thing about this park, however, are the owners. They live on site and are friendly and accommodating and are willing to go out of their way to help. Another great thing is that this park is only 5 minutes from shopping, groceries and Wal-Mart but it is very quiet. More parks should be designed like this one. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stay at Anchors Aweigh every time we travel across I-10 because of friendly management and paved level sites with picnic table. Wide grassy area between sites. During the winter there is a high concentration of snow-birds but that allows us to meet more diverse folks. During Lent they have a Friday fish fry. Then pancake and sausage breakfast every Saturday AM (extra $$). We have and would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We are staying here now. We have been here two nights. This is an excellent park. Everyone is friendly and helpful. We were shown our space and were helped with the backing. We were offered help to set up. The restrooms and showers are private and spotless. Pretty pool and hot tub, small playground for young children. Close to many resturants and shopping. App. 7 miles to the gulf. Sites are large, concrete with easy access to water, power and sewer. Wi-Fi comes with the price and works well. The grounds are very clean, with a nice pet walk and clean up bags provided. There is also a fish cleaning area at the exit from the park. I will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is really a great campground......we will definitely return! Management was really helpful. There were ants near our site when we arrived and were taken care of within 5 minutes! The gentleman even backed my camper into the spot for me. Bathhouse has clean private shower rooms. Sites, patios and roads were paved and wide. The pool was very clean and nice. All sites offer both 50 and 30 amp service. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed in several campgrounds in the Gulf Shores area and this one is definitely the best. Great friendly people who operate it. Well manicured grass with nice level pads. Pool area and bathrooms were very clean. Very good Internet. A must stop if you are in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was our first trip in our travel trailer. The attendants were extremely helpful in getting us set up and stayed with us until we were fully functional. This park is very well laid out and convenient to enter and exit. We will return again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Boy oh boy- - - where do I start. This CG is spanking brand new and everything is just squeaky clean. There is an angel working the office and I can't say enough about her and how much she helped me in setting up our club's rally over a very busy weekend in Southern Alabama. The CATV is super, the free Wi-Fi is fast enough to satisfy you when you think that it's free! The clubhouse is very nice and offers a big screen TV for your pleasure and a full kitchen for rallies and the like. A neat little side item that was advantageous to us ralliers was that the snowbirds ( a pretty good population ) cook up a full breakfast every saturday morning for a 3 buck donation- - - can't beat that! This campground is close to everything you'd ever want to be doing as far as extracurricular activities are concerned. I'll definitely be returning soon. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We've stayed at Anchors Aweigh twice in February on both legs of a trip to Florida - going and returning to Louisiana. NEW Park just opened in October, 2006 with WIDE streets and sites. Excellent husband and wife management team really make you feel at home and most of all welcome! This CG is at the top of our list for return visits. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Price reflects a back row site. This is, by far, the nicest place we have ever stayed. Wide paved roads made an easy entry and exit. It is about a mile to the main highway that runs into Gulf Shores. The pool w/hot tub is very large and heated year round. The clubhouse has a bar, 10' movie screen, several card tables, couches, a computer room, and exercise room with sauna. The staff couldn't be any more friendly and helpful. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a gated class A resort with size and vehicle age limitations. The resort is about 2/3 complete. In the completed portion some features have yet to be completed (such as the putting green). The sites are spacious, concrete, and level. Access to the sites is great due to wide internal roads. The landscaping is somewhat sparse; probably due to the newness of the resort. The clubhouse is great and complete with business center, bar area, spa-gym, sauna, and a heated pool. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They exhibit pride in the resort. Wi-Fi access is very good. The resort is pet friendly and has a clean, large, fenced dog play area. We would stay here again without hesitation. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed three nights. It's a newer park, with a goal of selling sites. Sites are spacious and landscaped. Concrete pads are in excellent shape and easy to back into. As foliage matures it should be quite nice. Some owners have added amenities to their sites such as screen gazebos and outdoor kitchens that make them attractive. We had no pet with us but we were given a site right next to the dog run. If the park had been full and there were a lot of dogs I think it may have been noisy being so close. It's the only park we've stayed at this past year that did not provide some kind of picnic table at the sites. Staff was very friendly. They were quite helpful in accommodating us when we had to delay our arrival by a week. It is isolated, but all you have to do is drive a couple of miles to find an abundance of shopping and restaurants of all types. If you want proximity to the gulf coast, this facility is well located. They are beginning work on the second phase and that may result in dust during the earth-moving activities. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Concrete pads out in the middle of nowhere, claims to be a class A only and that is all we saw there but no amenities, not very attractive. We would avoid this park in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We had a back-in site for $35. This is probably one of the nicest resorts we have stayed in. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Absolutely no road noise. Sites were beautiful and carefully manicured. Resort is gated. Would have stayed a month if we could have had time to. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful high end resort style park. Will be nicer when complete. Location was not my favorite (too far from wonderful local beaches). Super friendly and helpful staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The staff here is so accommodating and friendly that you feel like you are the only persons they are caring for. The facilities are well planned and maintained, and social activities are planned daily, The whole resort is clean. We and our pet met lots of nice people and other pets. A fenced pet play area recently opened. We haven't stayed anywhere that staff was more friendly or accommodating, or the facilities better maintained and kept clean. This is a place we will look forward to visiting many times in the future. We can't praise the staff enough! We camped here in a Motorhome.
After seeing comments made by a previous camper, I had to make these corrections. Something must have ticked them off to be so negative about one of the best resorts we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in quite a few. Bella Terra is a high end resort by all means, but not a bunch of "chest beaters" as described. There are coaches of all sizes and types but yes there are some restrictions. As for the dogs, I have seen prissy poodles to 100 lb mutts. Quite a variety of animals walk through the resort and it has a doggy area also. And no there is no store on site. But within 2 miles, there are over 40 restaurants, 37 hotels, 3 major golf courses, 2 major shopping outlets, countless grocery stores, drug stores, auto parts, super Wal-Mart, you name it, it is here. And for children, there are plenty of families that come to Bella Terra with children. There are numerous parks within 5 miles that range from water parks to kid rides etc. Propane refill within 1.5 miles. As far as the laundry, when have you done a load of laundry less than 10.00? You get your card and don't have to worry about change in the machines. You just use your card in a clean and workable laundry when ever you need to do some more. Also there are several of these located throughout the resort. Picture perfect they got right. Swimming pool which children are not only welcome, but in it. There are functions at the main clubhouse several times per week. Gatherings with food and wine. I have never been to any other resort that had so much either in the resort or with a couple of miles. Hope this straightens up what Mr. Negative left behind. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The entire staff is extremely accommodating and helpful at Bella Terra. When we arrived I was not in the best of moods and Courtney in the office went out of her way to welcome us. She came outside to our RV with cookies in hand for myself and the kids. There were plenty of activities for the kids, and adults, like playing Wii video games at the clubhouse to having hot cocoa by the outdoor gas fire pit. It's one the nicest RV resorts we've stayed at in our 4 months on the road. We highly recommend it for anyone looking for a class A motorhome resort. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This resort is great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return again as soon as we can get back this way. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Bella Terra RV resort turned out to be what could only be classified as a high end retirement community and looking back at their advertisements I guess that’s how it’s being billed. Advertised as a Class A only RV resort, it’s naturally filled with top end RVs. Truly a great place to come for a little chest beating if you’re in this league of ownership, alas I was not and therefore could only look on with envy. The only good thing was that I never had to socialize much with the other owners as they all stayed indoors and only ventured out for meals and to walk their little fluffy critters. My dog was looking for another snack around every shiny new million dollar brick. This is simply a place to park, nothing for sale like propane, groceries, or anything at all you may need, so bring it all with you or plan on taking a ride. The only thing they do sell is a money card for laundry, this costs you $2.50 for the card and a non refundable $10.00 to fill it. There isn’t anything at all for kids to do so if you have them, this is not the place for you. If you’re retired and looking for a great place to get photos of your rig to show off at parties, this is definitely the place. It’s absolutely picture perfect, a gorgeous place for gorgeous high end motor homes. We prefer the friendly atmosphere of more rural camping over this sterile type of resort. Live and learn, to each their own. We won’t be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed at this First Class RV Resort beginning in November 2009 and left at the end of January 2010. One of the nicest facilities we have ever stayed. The young women in the office area were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. My husband and I have stayed in many RV parks/resorts and this one is 14 on a scale of 10! There were three complete bathrooms with walk-in showers that were immaculately clean. Many planned activities at the clubhouse which included owners and renters. We would definitely recommend anyone traveling in Alabama in the Foley/Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area to check out this RV resort. We hope to go back there again next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent facility and very accommodating staff. Grounds are manicured and well kept. Clubhouse, pool and spa area and exercise room are all exceptional. Fortunately I was able to be there with an FMCA chapter rally or I would not be eligible to stay in my 2006 Jayco Seneca 35 foot super "C". It is a class "A" motorhome resort only. We camped here in a Motorhome.
New resort with excellent staff and 'state of the art' facilities. Good location close to shopping and area attractions. We camped here in a Motorhome.

From the first conversation I had making reservations, to the last good-bye, the experience at Bella Terra RV Resort was wonderful. The staff could not have been any more sincere and warm with their welcome. My husband, son, our two Yorkshire Terriers, and myself had a peaceful and relaxing stay. The grounds were beautiful and very well manicured. The club house as well as the laundry and bath houses were extremely clean with an upscale hotel design. We will be back soon.

We stayed at Bella Terra for 8 days. The grounds of the resort are beautifully landscaped and dog friendly. Our site overlooked a small lake with a fountain. It was relaxing to sit outside and enjoy the view. There was a pool, spa, and clubhouse to utilize, as well as laundry facilities. The staff were friendly, courteous, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We will definitely return for another visit and would highly recommend the facility to others. It ranks a 10+. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice, luxury type RV resort. The pool and clubhouse facilities looked great, but unpleasant weather did not allow us use of the pool. This was our first visit to the area and did more sight seeing than staying at the park. Would highly recommend it to all our RV friends. Very nice staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My wife is handicapped and this resort was ideal. It is the best resort we stayed in over the 12 years of camping in 37 states. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Had been looking at their resort for quite some time. Finally got to go down there and check things out. I was totally impressed!!!!!! Everything was as advertised and the service and people couldn't be better. I liked it so much that I wound up buying a lot there! Now I am really looking forward to my new home away from home! These guys did it right, and I am looking forward to many, many more trips there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
For starters, we have never seen a better resort. We liked it so well that we purchased a lot. As a result our four day stay was free. The staff here is excellent, fitting for a 10-10-10 resort. Clubhouse is the finest we have seen. Great interior roads with plenty of room for big rigs. Hugh concrete parking sites and patios etc. No mud here even if it rains. As more lots have sold the landscaping is maturing and many sites now have improvements. Close enough to beaches to get breeze without the salt air. Lambert's (throwed rolls),the Gift Horse (Sunday brunch) and many other restaurants are about 5 miles away in Foley. Excellent seafood in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Try the oysters at the Oyster House in Gulf Shores and the crab melt sandwich at Lulu's. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a new and great resort from the ground up. The owners have put a lot of time, thinking, and money into this place. Everything was done right from the walk in pool to the bathhouses. Club house is like a 5 star hotel and has everything you could think of or need to live well. Roads are double wide, sites are long, wide, level, cable TV, with FHU in correct place. Free Wi-Fi and it worked very well at our site. Views of lake are great to look at. You can rent or buy a site here. Front gates: GPS is 30.34831 / -87.65997. From I-10 travel south on Hwy 59 then east to Foley Beach Express, travel south and past Hwy 12 (traffic light), take the next road right, Brinks Willis Road, resort is on the left. You have everything you need from shopping, places to eat, Super Wal-Mart, and others items in Foley five miles away. If you own a Class A you need to check this place out. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Honestly, we didn't stay there: we bought there! I think that's a step up. This Resort is beautiful. It is immaculate. All of the grounds are spotless and very well maintained, as is the resort. Granted, there is not as much shrubs and trees as I would have liked, but it is a brand new resort and that will come with time. I found the staff extremely friendly on all levels, so much, that we decided to buy a spot towards the back in Phase I. Phase II is about to start shortly! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a true resort campground: every amenity is available. Fabulous infinity edge pool. Very friendly and courteous staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

For anyone going to Gulf Shores this is a super nice RV resort that I would recommend for anybody with family. It is very quiet and very nice. Will stay again when in the area. I talked to the owner on the the phone to make reservations and he took care of everything. Just wish I could have taken the pool home! Super nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were planning on a 6 day stay and we ended up purchasing a lot so that we could always come to a truly beautiful resort. The staff treated us warmly, and they made everyone feel at home and had a cookout for everyone. The clubhouse is tastefully decorated, the baths and showers were beautiful and even provided the toiletries. It was difficult to stay out of the relaxing, warm, infinity pool with waterfalls. The sites are large and can accommodate any upgrades you want to add. The trees and landscaping are beginning to mature, which will add to the overall beauty of the resort. Anything you need is only minutes away. The location is great. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice resort. Still developing so most of landscaping was new. All palm trees. Pretty but no shade. Very roomy sites. Level pads of stained concrete. Beautiful club house and infinity pool. Free night if you are willing to listen to their presentation. We received the free night but they never came around and asked us to listen to presentation. Probably because two of our three nights were on Saturday and Sunday. About 15-minutes from the Foley and Gulf Shores beaches if you use the toll bridge. A little longer if you take another route. Be sure to eat at Bahama Bob's on the beach at Gulf Shores. Excellent food and service. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As a class A owner I have been to my fair share of places, but none what so ever as nice as Bella Terra. This is the first place that we have stayed that everything we had hoped for we truly got right down to the excellent service from the employees. Bella Terra truly is only minutes away from anything you want to do from going golfing or to the beach or whether it be shopping that you enjoy. Very top notch RV Resort I only wish that we had something like this closer to home. Enjoy this it is everything and more that they advertise. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The facilities here are first rate. The club house, pools and sites are well thought out and high quality. Dinner at nearby Lambert's Cafe is a must! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Brand new RV Resort for Class A motorhomes only. Spacious sites with extra wide parking area. Large, well furnished clubhouse with well equipped exercise room and a large screen TV. Pool is 25 m. long and suitable for lap swimming or relaxing. Central lake is new and will eventually be stocked for fishing. There are many golf courses nearby and beach is about 5 miles away. Tangier outlets, WalMart, grocery stores and many restaurants are all within 5 minutes but the resort is isolated and quiet. Overall, a great place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
After staying in parks around the country, it was fantastic to finally find a Resort that lived up to its designation as a "Resort". Bella Terra was everything advertised and more! Beautiful sunsets, Quiet nights, friendly RVers, immaculate facilities and on and on. The staff is second to none and our contact was awesome. This resort is only minutes, yes, minutes to anything you could ever want or think of wanting! If you only do one thing for yourself as a Class A motorcoach owner this has to be it. This is the most "comfortable" RV place anywhere! Well, at least in the 33 states we have been in! We camped here in a Motorhome.
I don't know where the previous people stayed, but it must not have been at Bella Terra! Yes, the management and staff was accommodating and helpful and the sites were large and the existing facilities were first class but who wants to sit out in the middle of a open field looking at a muddy lake! It is still under construction and not ready to accommodate guests. The high rates are not justified. This is a new park which lacks any mature landscaping and is located miles from any stores or places to eat or shop. Give it 3 or 4 years and it should deserve a better rating. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have been full timing for over a year and this was the best RV park yet. Brand New! Awesome pool, hot tub, fitness center and the clubhouse has a Wii. Great location for golf, shopping and beach. We plan on returning many times in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is without a doubt the best RV park that we have ever stayed in. The staff were great,we really enjoyed the use of the club house to host our granddaughter's birthday party. Will be back for many future visits. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I rarely give a campground a 10 rating because so few seem to "have it all". This one does. Huge clubhouse with all the amenities. Pool, hot tub, huge paved sites. Close to everything in Gulf Shores. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Worth every penny. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed a month. Water in the ponds was brown. Lots of constant construction going on. They had to redo the lawn sprinkling, wasn't done right. Pool was leaking water and wasn't very warm to swim. Jacuzzi was either cool or very hot! Wi-fi was good. Park is in the middle of a field; very windy, awning wouldn't stay out for long. Wouldn't come back. Overpriced for what you get. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a new "resort" and lots are individually owned although all are not yet sold. The first phase was complete and some lots had gazebos or small, outdoor kitchens and sparse landscape. We were amazed at how poor the grass areas looked - they were all weeds. It was quite windy during our stay, and the dust and dirt were blowing our way from the unfinished second phase. The clubhouse is beautiful inside and the exercise equipment is top notch. The pool is gorgeous, but if you like doing laps or water exercises you will be disappointed. The style of pool is more for looks than for functionality. The tennis court and putting green had not been developed yet. During heavy rains, the run-off was directed to the front of our coach and with the poor grass it became a muddy mess. The resort staff, however, are top notch and very helpful. We've stayed at many RV "Resorts" and in comparison to others, we were very disappointed with the appearance and amenities. While there are activities nearby, we found that within 4 or 5 days you could do and see all there is, unless you like golf and the beach. Those RV'ers who are experienced and enjoy an active, resort lifestyle at a resort with upscale amenities may want to think twice about staying here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Bella Terra is a new upscale RV resort with lots of potential. The club house and pool are complete and one of the best I have seen. The first section of lots are complete and the new lot owners are beginning to make it home. Not a lot of vegetation, but given the warm climate it won't take long. Right now the resort owners are giving good introductory rates and at $35.00 a night it was well worth it. Plan to stop on our way back to south Florida this fall and see how it has progressed We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was the nicest park we have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The shower/bath rooms were immaculate. The club house was beautiful. The exercise room was very well equipped, including showers and a sauna, as well as all the normal machines. The staff all treated us like royalty. The park was dog-friendly, hosting a dog parade on St. Patrick's day, with dog treat bags for all participants. In our opinion, and our special rating system: definite "5 STAR BE-BACK" also short distance to great shopping, and a super public white sand beach. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a wonderful RV resort. This was our first visit, and definitely not the last, we love that it's on a quiet road, away from the traffic noise. It's on our 'must do again' list. The resort staff was very courteous and knowledgeable, and were always available for questions. We're glad that it's a pet friendly resort. The clubhouse was beautiful and immaculate, with a wonderful fitness center. The pool area has plenty of lounge chairs and tables for a comfortable relaxed atmosphere. If you're thinking of heading to the Gulf Shores area, this is the place to check out first, and you won't have to look any further. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Now this is what an RV Resort is supposed to be like!! The sites are huge, paved and landscaped. We drive a bus with car trailer and had plenty of room in a pull-thru spot. They have an area to store your trailer if you are in a pull-in/back-in site or just want to drop it. All amenities are of the highest quality and all first class. The clubhouse and exercise room are beyond compare. Wifi and cable work perfectly. The staff is just terrific from the escort to your site until the last minute you are there. The location between Mobile and Pensacola and very near Gulf Shores Beach and Orange Beach makes this a terrific place to stay a long time. Several beaches are nearby and great restaurants abound. It is an ownership resort and owners are doing their sites with gazebos and outdoor kitchens so amenities per site will vary. Half the sites are in use now and the other half are to be completed this year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Location, location, location. This resort is outstanding in all areas as mentioned by previous posters. Extremely large sites, first class amenities including a beautiful infinity pool and well equipped fitness center, complete with sauna. The location is the topping on the cake. Less than two miles from Hwy 59 and any shopping you would need, yet located far enough away from the noise. Less than 10 minutes from the white sand beaches of the Gulf Coast and some fantastic restaurants. I don't understand the previous poster's description of "remotely located". It doesn't get any better than this. The only complaint is the resort is still under construction and it appears the economy has slowed progress down. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a new resort with a sales office on the premise for site purchase. Only one-half of the resort has been completed. Beautiful sites though somewhat pricey, and the facilities were excellent. It is very remotely located. Unfortunately, we were there for a week when the wind blew constantly, swirling dust from the construction site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great RV resort, this is a resort not a camp ground. Club house and fitness center. Close to beach, many restaurants and attractions via Foley express. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We pulled in for a couple of days and are staying for 10, we are enjoying this place that much. The resort is very well laid out with large sites, washrooms and showers conveniently located so they are never far away. The clubhouse is stunning and beautifully furnished with a sauna, whirlpool, infinite pool and a fitness room with all the state of the art equipment you could possibly want. The staff are always available, extremely friendly and willing to help and offer advice whenever asked. Have nothing but positive comments about this place - wish there were more like it! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Awesome Park!! We stayed on a lake front lot. We came in for two days and stayed 10 days. Close to beach and shopping. Staff is wonderful. They will take care of any needs you have. The park has every amenity you will need. We hope all new parks in the future use Bella Terra's plan. Awesome camping experience! We will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We first visited Bella Terra in November, 2008. We had been interested in its construction since we first saw it advertised in FMCA. We had an opportunity to take a few days off for Thanksgiving, so off to Alabama we went. It was love at first sight! The resort is half completed and it is such a delight. The lots are very large and nicely finished out. There is enough room on each lot for upgrades to delight all owners and future renters. The club house is great for hanging out and available for parties. There is a kitchen, movie area, bar, game tables, comfortable seating, sauna, exercise room, and all the outside amenities. The staff members are experienced professionals and they are truly interested in their guests. What else is there? We love it so much we bought a lot! We are very happy to say we are Bella Terra RV Resort owners. Come see Bella Terra and you will love it, too. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is very nice, but investors beware as I was a victim. The sales personnel said one thing, but at time of closing, the contract stated something else. Very one sided. Bella Terra refused to refund all monies. A big loss for us. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I was hesitant to rate this resort a 10 simply because it is only a little over half finished but, the fact is that, it is already one of the best resorts anywhere. The sites are very long, very wide, and very level and the access roads are paved and wider than most highways. The clubhouse is outstanding, it reminds me of a nice country club's clubhouse with a heated infinity pool, a hot tub, exercise room, sauna, locker room, movie theater and a great room. The staff is extremely friendly and go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. Probably the only negative was the weather, this ain't Florida, but otherwise this is as good as it gets. Highly recommended. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I have been watching a new resort being built over in Gulf Shores. These guys look like they know what they are doing. I was able to go in the other day and get a brief tour. It is going to be an upscale class A ownership resort with true resort like atmosphere. The lot sizes are very large and owners can put lots of upgrades on their lot. The sales center has diagrams of outdoor kitchens, gazebos, fire pits, and a small building they call a casita. Most lots are already sold. While there I was shown info for a beach club they have an activities calendar that included free fishing excursions, wine & cheese events and pedicures! They are set to open very soon and are taking rental reservations now. This is one to keep your eye on and is certainly now the place to stay when in lower Alabama. We camped here in a Motorhome.
All the necessities at a reasonable PA fee. No picnic tables, no fire ring, etc., but a good overnight spot if you are traveling through, or here for the shopping at the discount mall. Has gravel access roads, grass sites but spacious and comfortable. Owners live on the premises and a very helpful campground host gets you parked. We stayed here three nights at the Passport America rate and an additional night at the regular rate of $30 which is a little pricey for the facilities offered but there are very reasonable weekly and monthly rates available. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Gravel road, grass sites. Park perimeter is trees and barbed wire fence, it feels like parking in a pasture or grassy field, only with hookups. Sites are wide enough for slides but still close together. The pull through sites are very long and easily accommodated our 60 foot length. Very few trees in the park. The park is on Hwy 98 so there’s some road noise. No picnic table or pad. Rustic but pleasant. A great park to “do nothing” or as a base to visit Foley and Gulf Shores. Very nice, helpful owner. Rate reflects PA discount. For the price and relaxation, we may return. No Wi-Fi. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a great little park we stayed at on our way to TX from Florida. The owner has put a lot of love into this place, and they have one of the best club houses we've seen. Laundry facilities are neat as a pin and inexpensive. The grounds are neat, but basic. Don't expect a resort-environment here. You make your own fun. The only downside is the sites are a little close together, but that didn't present much of a problem. Residents are super friendly and there's lots of room to roam. A great place to stay for a week or a season. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park is out in the middle of some cotton fields and is set up as a condominium park where you can lease the lots. The operators of the park, as well as the other people we met, were very friendly and helpful. The park, however, has very narrow roads and there are very few amenities. I would give the park employees a "10" but the park gets only a "6". There is no cable and the site we were on was not very level. The sites do have concrete pads and patios. Not a bad park, but just not much to do. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We spent the winter here, 12 miles from Gulf, close to shopping, dining, medical facilities, what a clean and friendly park. Great amenities and get together...we are going back for this winter. Warm sunny days, you can wash your rig, concrete patio and pad, grassed lot are BEAUTIFUL. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is not a real resort, but very convenient to golf on a small course. I might be back because it is very quiet and has a great location. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Really nice people to check you in and were on site. It was raining very hard when we came in and they said we could write or check in the AM....of course they had our credit card number from the reservation, but that was so very thoughtful. Most sites are cement pads, a little patio and then some grass. Nice enough showers, small but adequate. As we walked our dog people and dogs were very friendly. We used CCWS here, so rate was only $14. Very quiet and yet close enough to Foley and Gulf Shores. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you enjoy playing par three golf, then this is the place for you! Great little course adjacent to the park, and for a mere $7, one can play all the golf one wants - for the entire day! There are nice level concrete pads that we backed into with our travel trailer. There were very friendly campers who were staying for most of the winter. They welcomed us immediately, and we enjoyed a fabulous Thanksgiving pot luck lunch with everyone else in the park. We loved Magnolia Springs RV Hideaway and Golf Resort, would highly recommend it and hope to stay there again - for more than two weeks next time! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a fairly nice park, but the management was very rude and condescending to us. They refused to honor the campground membership club that we belong to in spite of the fact that they were listed on the club membership web site as members. While we tried to resolve the issue with the management of the club they became impatient about receiving payment. They at least gave us a discount based on one of the other clubs to which they say they belong. We were in a site next to their garbage bin which was near overflowing when we got there and they never had a pick up during the three days that we were there. They occasionally pushed the garbage tighter in the bin. It stunk! It is too bad because the park itself is OK. The site we were in backed up to a nice wooded area in the back. Hopefully the owners will replace the park managers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice small park. Level sites, free golfing, friendly staff. Lots of long term campers. No play ground. Pet friendly. Nice to be away from the hectic traffic of Gulf Shores but close enough to take in all the activities and beaches. CCUSA rates. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
WiFi was not working when we were there. We camp here often throughout the year. The WiFi is a constant problem for us. Generally the owner(s) do not get serious about WiFi and other items until the snow birds get there. The snow birds can be very territorial and unfriendly. I agree with other reviewers' comments about the park being close enough but still out of the way. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice little golf park and would be a fun place to stay for a week or longer. We found getting our 5th wheel into our site extremely difficult and sure wouldn't want to go through the contortions again for a shorter stay. All the facilities appeared clean and neat. If you're traveling with kids and they aren't old enough to enjoy playing golf, this isn't the park for you. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is well maintained. The top row is reserved for occasional campers. This row has level concrete pads with lush grass surrounding each site. Above the top row is a recreation hall which also has restrooms/showers. Beyond the recreation hall is a 9 hour, par 3 golf course. Everything is very beautiful and quiet. I stay about three days each month on business. I use Passport America and get my lot for $10 a day. Wifi is available for a $1 a day. The park is extending. The only negative is some monthly campers on the bottom row that are local working folks. But hey working people need a place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park was well kept. What interested us the most was the 9 hole par 3 golf course that was adjacent to the campground. The staff was out all the time either on the course or around the campground doing work. The golf course was just beautiful. I wouldn't say it was not family friendly because there were children there when we were there. Of course there is no pool which would be a plus for families w/children. It is very convenient to Mobile, Gulf Shores, Fairhope and Foley. We will go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here two weeks and found it to be a pleasant, quiet place. All sites are angled back-ins and I had no trouble backing in with my 40' MH. WiFi is $1 per day and works well on the first level where all the pads and patios are concrete. Second level the patios are concrete the sites gravel and a third level is under construction. As mentioned there is no pool or playground areas for children but it is a great place to visit the beach, Ft. Morgan, Mobile and many other things. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a Passport America park. Rates are currently $18, but are going up to $20 for 2005. This campground is well maintained, management very friendly. Sites are on two levels - the top row has concrete sites with patios and concrete access road and is free of overhanging trees for easy satelite access. The bottom row has gravel road with dirt and grass sites with patios and some larger trees. Sites are large enough for slides and awnings with a little room to spare. It is advertised as large enough for 40ft. vehicles. There is a large room for meetings or pot luck dinners(held often), tv w/satelite, games & puzzles, bookshelf full of books to share. Wireless internet is available for a dollar a day. They add your wireless card mac # to their system for access, no password and fee is paid when you leave. It is not advertised as an adult only park, but there are no activities here for children. Discount golf fees are available for campers. Foley is 6 miles or so from Gulf Shores so there is plenty to do. The town has Walmart, Home Depot, etc for shopping. We've been here for two weeks and will stay until Dec 27. Everyone here is very friendly. Most are here for the entire season. I think this is a fairly new park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a first rate campground and the management and staff are very friendly. The campground is well maintained; there is a gazebo and pretty lake. One of the staff even stooped by our site and gave us some fresh picked satsumas. This is the 4th time that we have stayed there and the first time that I've taken the time to write a review. The campground has always been a great place to stay--that's why we keep returning. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Be careful if bringing in pets. First thing they told us was the rules. We were told that if we didn't pickup our dogs business right after she was done we were out. if we left our site for any reason and didn't take the dog we were out. if our kids were loud we were out. the list went on for about 3 min. This was after they took our money. The office staff was very rude and made it known that they did not want Kids or pets in their park and that they wanted us to be 55 or older. The sites were not bad and mostly level. Good drive to get to the beach, about 7 miles. Lots of traffic noise if you are near the gate. Don't think you would like this place if you have kids. Won't be going back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is definitely for the 55+ age group. While here for a month we didn't see any children. Don't feed the plastic ducks in the lake. Never saw a live duck or goose in the small pond (lake?). Gravel sites pretty level. Lots of small trees. Very small pool. No exercise facilities. Cable TV was free. WiFi costs $30 a month but weak signal and slow. Not many activities in the park. This is a laid back quiet park. No fires allowed except a central location for special events. Cost per month was $450. All in all a decent park for the money. Everyone was nice & friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
All of the staff was very, very nice. Park was very clean and well lanscaped; but too many trees. Address is confusing! Easy to pass-up. Pool was very clean, but small. Sites are plenty long with gravel and pretty level. Does not accept any discount memberships. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was only park with availability around July 4th weekend that was semi-close (30 min) to Gulf Shores, AL. The park was okay. Pool super small and they decided not to open until noon last day (kids were very disappointed). Would not return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A beautiful park!! Found it in Passbook America. No longer in Passport America, but honored the price. Hosts were outstanding. Would have liked to stay longer. Lots of room at the sites. Bathromms and showers outstanding- in beauty and cleanliness! Swings placed around lake- all in all very picturesque. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is well cared for, but there were no activities, except church services, and both the pool and hot tub were closed for the 2 months we were there (Feb.- Mar. 2008). The staff seem friendly, but just work 9 - 5 and do not have much investment in the guests. WiFi is not free and the 'lake' is just a pond. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a worn out park recently purchased by Leisure Concepts Management who is attempting to turn it into a "condo" concept. They were attempting to sell sites but with little success and if you saw the park you would know why. There is a small lake in the older section of the park that is surrounded by sites, all gravel. The north end of the park is basically a field with utilities, poor landscaping with metal industrial/warehouse buildings. A new pool but really a kid size and that's about it for amenities. They did build a very nice sales office, I wonder why? The staff was great but obviously embarrassed about their product. Don't waste your time or hard earned money here. If going to the Gulf Shores area, attempt to get into the Gulf Shores State Park. We found it too late. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful park, excellent service, very, very clean. Owners and management very friendly, treated everyone courteously and family atmosphere, will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
