Camping near Mount Vernon, Alabama
Mount Vernon sits in northern Mobile County along US Highway 43, about a half hour north of the city of Mobile and the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. The area gives RV travelers a quiet, wooded base within reach of the Gulf Coast, downtown Mobile, and the Alabama and Tombigbee River corridors.
Closer-in RV options include Autumn Lake RV Park in nearby Calvert, Live Oak Landing along the Tensaw River system, Lake Early RV Park, and Deer Creek RV Park. For travelers passing through, I-65 RV Campground offers easy interstate access. Most parks in this area cater to full-hookup rigs with concrete or gravel pads and pull-through sites.
State-managed camping is a short drive south at Meaher State Park, a 1,327-acre park uniquely situated in the wetlands of north Mobile Bay, which offers modern camping hookups and cabins for overnight guests. Historic Blakeley State Park in Spanish Fort adds RV, tent, and horse-trailer camping within a Civil War battlefield along the Tensaw River.
Things to do around Mount Vernon
The Mobile-Tensaw Delta is the main draw. It consists of approximately 20,323 acres of water, is the second-largest delta in the contiguous US, and is formed by the confluence of the Alabama and Tombigbee Rivers, a complex network of tidally influenced rivers, creeks, bays, lakes, wetlands, and bayous. The estuary supports fishing for redfish, speckled trout, and flounder, plus kayaking, boat tours, and alligator and wading-bird viewing. Meaher State Park welcomes day-use visitors and is a stop on the Alabama Coastal Birding Trail.
History sits close by. Historic Blakeley State Park in Spanish Fort protects Civil War battlegrounds along the Tensaw and offers hiking and biking trails. Downtown Mobile adds the Battleship USS Alabama, the History Museum of Mobile, and, in season, Mardi Gras parades. The white-sand Gulf beaches at Gulf Shores are roughly an hour south of Meaher.

How to book RV sites near Mount Vernon
Private parks such as Autumn Lake RV Park, Live Oak Landing, Lake Early RV Park, Deer Creek RV Park, and I-65 RV Campground typically take reservations directly by phone or through their own websites, and many offer daily, weekly, and monthly rates. Confirm rig-length limits, hookup amperage, and pet rules when booking.
For Alabama State Parks including Meaher, reservations are handled through the official reserve.alapark.com system.

What to expect on the ground
Sites near Mount Vernon are generally set among tall pines and hardwoods, with level concrete or gravel pads, full hookups, and space between rigs. Cell coverage on US 43 and I-65 is generally reliable, and the road network into Mobile and Spanish Fort is flat and easy for larger rigs.
Expect insects during the warm months, especially near the delta wetlands, and pack for high humidity. Meaher State Park is located on an island in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and is a natural habitat for various types of wildlife and insects. Keep pets leashed and follow posted wildlife guidance. There is a gate fee per person to enter Meaher State Park, plus an additional boat launch fee if applicable, and an Alabama freshwater fishing license is required.
Groceries, fuel, propane, and RV supplies are easiest to source in Saraland, Satsuma, or the Mobile metro rather than in Mount Vernon itself.
