Pandion Ridge Orange Beach, AL

We visited Pandion Ridge in Orange Beach, AL from March 10th through March 17th, 2018

This Dad’s Opinion:
Wow, this is an RV setup person’s dream. The pads were huge, all the hookups nice clean and neat, plenty of extra space for parking. The drive into the park is mostly highway, so no issues there. It is almost across the street from the Warf in Orange Beach, AL. I really liked the overall look of the park. However, Sites were close together and not much yard space for each spot.

Just one Mom’s opinion:
This is a fairly new campground so the trees are little (which equals no shade or windbreakers) but the benefit is it is super clean. If you want a beach view this is not the campsite for you. It is close to the beach but on the bayside. It has a nice coin laundry, dog run/park, 2 bathhouses and 2 pools (one was adult only). It backs up to a state park so there were trails to walk and explore. It was about 2 minutes, if that, from the Wharf which is nice (lots to do and eat there). The grounds were well maintained and they picked up garbage by the street every morning. There were scheduled group activities in the main building most every night. My only real complaint is more about the other campers. The park was full of snowbirds who were very territorial and not very welcoming. They were rude to the kids as they walked the dogs, telling them to pick up dog messes before the dogs were even done. Speaking of dogs, be sure you check to see if your breed is allows in the park as they have a list of dogs that are not welcomed.

A 19 year old point of view:
This campsite was very nice. They were dog friendly and even had a dog park which I know my furbabies loved. They had a nice lake that my dad, boyfriend, and I all went fishing at. We (my boyfriend and myself) didn't catch anything though…(Dad Did) This campsite has a really nice pool/hot tub area that also had a fire pit. The weather when we went was absolutely perfect for just hanging out in the hot tub. I spent the majority of my time there or at the dog park. The location of this campsite is perfect. It is very close to the Warf. My only negative thing about this campsite is that some of the people were not so nice. If I was walking my dog and my dog went near someone's site, I had a second to try to pick it up before someone was yelling at me through their camper door to pick it up.

A high school boys view:
The wifi from the camper worked but wasn't that great. If you wanted to download something in a reasonable time you would need to go up to the check in office and use the wifi there since it was closer to the router. The cell service was really good as an alternative though. The satellite wasn't anything special but the other activities made up for it.
