We were on our way to our New Year’s Eve destination in Florida and needed a stop between Louisiana and Florida to cut down on driving time. So, we stopped for two nights at an Escapees Campground, Rainbow Plantation, in Summerdale, Alabama.
There was a lot of space between us and our next-door neighbors at this campground, giving us a feeling of solitude and privacy. We spent the time we were there taking care of little things we had neglected to do during Christmas. We did some laundry, caught up on emails, and “spatially organized” gifts we had received at Christmas. We didn't allot enough time to snapping photos around the park so we only got two random shots. It was a short but relaxing stop.
Review of Rainbow Plantation
We receive many amenities from our Escapees membership, including discounts at RV campgrounds owned by Escapees; Rainbow Plantation is one of those campgrounds. It is just outside of the quaint Alabama cities of Daphne and Fairhope, which had many shops and eateries; too far for walking but we could have possibly taken an Uber. Gulf Shores is also just 20 miles southeast of the campground. We enjoyed how much space there was between sites at the campground; however, it was not a peaceful stay as our site was located next to a main road that had a lot of traffic. The campground had activities such as a dinner on the day we arrived. It also had a pool and laundry. We could possibly return to this campground because of the discount if we needed a one-night stop between Florida and Louisiana, but we doubt we would ever stay at this campground for an extended period of time due to the traffic noise and lack of stores/restaurants within walking distance.
