Gulf Shores, Alabama

March 23 till?   79 and sunny, 61 at night
We remembered a beautiful RV park we stopped by briefly last winter and decided it would be an ideal spot to come back to in one travel day from Hot Springs, Arkansas.  Weather is supposed to be quite warm so we are happy.  Bella Terra RV Resort.  It is ownership style class A motorhome park (no fifth wheels, trailers) and you will find the prices very interesting.  Lakefront lots sell for $160,000, Pull Thrus at $150,000.  Just like owning a condo you purchase your lot and also pay a monthly $190.00 home owners fee to keep up the amenities.  We could not fathom why you would buy into this however; it is all sold and the owners rent them out to any transients via the office administration and internet on line bookings.  At that price we would have to stay every winter for the next 25 years to break even*?*    We asked our neighbours who own their site what brought them here... their story was they lost their home in Hurricane Katrina.  They decided to relocate here with a brand new motorhome and purchased their lot.  They are late 60's and Full time RVers.
clubhouse, infinity pool, hot tub
