Gulf Shores is rebuilding
My wife and I took our new 28' CCD International on it's maiden voyage to Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, AL in March 05. The park was devastated by the hurricane in the latter part of 04. However, the good news is that they are rebuilding. Every camp site was destroyed, but the bathrooms came through unscathed. The park is now rebuilding each campsite. As of March there were 100 new campsites done. They are really redoing the sites correctly. New blacktop and water and electricity outlets. The sites are very nice. Unfortunately the park itself is dismal. The trees are pretty well gone or dying. Lots of standing water and fallen trees. The scenery isn't pretty but it will grow back. The sites should be even better than before. The towns in the area are trying to rebuild, but in some cases it is slow. They will be back to par, but it will take time. The park should be even better that before, but it will take time.
