We have created the campground page to assist you in deciding whether you would like to stay at a given campground. We currently have a 40' Diesel Motorhome with three slides; prior to 2007 we had a 35' Gas Motorhome with one slide. We do not rate campground bathroom facilities as we seldom use them; we prefer the convenience of our own restroom. We use the various campground links on the left side of this page in determining where to stay.

Happy Camping!

Rainbow Plantation - Escapees Park

Location: Summerdale, AL
Site#: 64
Type of hookups: Full hookups 50 AMP (just make sure you ask for 50AMP, about half of the sites are 30amp only).
Big Rig Friendly: Yes.
Wi-Fi: No, but we used our Verizon Aircard which worked fine.
Cable: No.
Pros: Very Large (both wide and long) back-in grass sites. Great location for touring, Pensacola, Mobile, and Gulf Shores area. Lots to see and do in the area, many great restaurants, and lots of shopping within 30 minutes. Lots of fellowship and activities are occurring at this park. Very quiet and reasonably priced.
Cons: No easy access (lots of stop and go lights) to the Plantation, so we wouldn't just stay there for a night or two but if you are planning on spending a week or more it is definitely worth the drive. Fire ants are found all over, so you have to watch where you walk. They do spray for them, and we didn't have a problem with them in the rig.
Cost: $85.00/week + Electricity
Rating: 8.25
Notes: We will definitely come back to stay when were are in the area, it is a very nice place to stay with lots of activities going on.
