Dockside RV Resort is located in famous Bayou La Batre, the true hometown of Bubba Gump and the undisputed Shrimp Capital of Alabama.

Here, seafood isn’t just food — it’s a way of life.

Enjoy the freshest shrimp, oysters, crab, fish, and Gulf delicacies straight from local boats and markets.

If you love seafood, you’re in the right place.

Our location on Portersville Bay gives guests authentic Gulf of America access:

  • Minutes from Dauphin Island

  • Less than a mile from the soon-to-open City Docks Marina

  • Surrounded by wildlife, water views, and coastal culture
