Meaher State Park Expansion Mostly Complete

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ (ADCNR) State Parks Division has announced that work on new RV sites and a new bathhouse at Meaher State Park on the Causeway is mostly complete. Reservations for the new RV sites are available, and reservations for the park’s Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible tiny cabins are scheduled to open soon. The expansion was funded by the RESTORE Act with money from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill settlement. “With the RESTORE money, we were able to add 46 campsites, four tiny cabins, a new campground store and a new bathroom for the campground,” said Alabama State Parks Director Matthew Capps. “At Meaher, we previously had a drive-through-style check-in booth where all operations were housed. Now, we will have a brand-new building that will house a store [and] offices and even provide space for some of our educational and interpretive programs.”
