Stock up on supplies at the Walmart in Gulf Shores before heading to the coast, as beach prices run higher. For propane, several locations along Highway 59 offer better rates than beachfront spots. If you need RV repairs, Gulf Shores has more service options than Orange Beach proper. During peak season, call ahead to confirm dump station availability and hours, as some private parks prioritize their guests.
