Bella Terra - Gulf Shores Alabama

We stepped out of our comfort zone a bit and decided to try the work camping experience. For those who don't know what that is, a lot of campgrounds look for couples to assist with a variety of things necessary to keep the campground running efficiently. In exchange for working, the campground provides a camping space usually with full hook ups, wifi, cable and utilities. When we were visiting the Bella Terra RV Resort last year, we were invited to return this year and spend a few months work camping with them. Since we were curious if the work camping experience was something we'd enjoy, we decided to take them up on their offer. Considering Bella Terra is one of the top campgrounds in the nation, we were excited to become part of their team. Here's a look at our digs for the next couple months...

Bella Terra RV Resort opened in 2008 and quickly became known as one of the premier locations in the Gulf Shores region.

It features many amenities including the 6000 sq ft clubhouse pictured above. There is a infinity pool, spa, sauna, fitness room, full kitchen, library and computer room, as well as a massage/therapy room.

There are three types of RV lots to stay on, lakefront, pull thrus and terrace lots. Most of the lots have excellent views of the lake. Fishing is allowed but it is a catch and release facility.

Lot sizes range from 3500 to 4500 square feet. Rental fees vary, but are reasonably priced compared with what this resort offers over nearby properties.

For those wondering why these pictures only show Type A Motor coaches, Bella Terra is restricted to motor coaches only, 15 yrs or newer and longer than 32 feet.

 

Our site is a spacious end site in Phase two. Phase three has limited construction at the moment so we are surrounded by lots of open grassy area.

I apologize if this sounds like a sales presentation, but we are pleased with this resort and all it has to offer.
