Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park Campground

Great little campground for a two day too though looked like people for staying there for much longer.

We pulled up super late because of a flat tire and the park police were super nice! We chose to go with just power and water and it came to 25 even no extra charges. The site is well maintained and the park is beautiful.

Trails to hike, water to play in, fishing, history places to see and go through, entertainment, nice camping spaces, wonderful employees, good prices for a great place

This place was perfect for us but we wish we could have stayed longet. The primitive sites are along a stream. We stayed in campground 3 and backed right up to the creek. Nobody else around! Great spot.

Easily one of my favorite campgrounds to visit. Plenty of trails to walk or ride and just a great place to get away from town.

Sites are kinda tight but everyone was very friendly and nice to talk to. The vendors in the art cabins was very nice and had amazing work. Any thing you need is at the store also drinks food and simple rv necessities and firewood. And a lot of history and hiking.

We loved the history and beauty of THSP. Everyone was so friendly, but we felt like we were on top of the people beside us.

We only stayed one night. Large campground, broken into 3 areas. Lots of camp sites and cabins too. Campground was wooded, clean and had all the amenities you could need.

We're craft vendors at Tannehill Trade Days March- November and we've started camping out there every month. My grandkids absolutely love it. The ride their bikes, play in the creek, and eat great ice cream from the creamery!

Love Tannehill but the sites in Sec 1 are on top of each other.

Very tight spots. Lots of trees though for cover. Tomany things to mention to do at this park, particularly for history buffs. Numerous events held there. We very much enjoyed our stay would go back

Great campsites creek for swimming and if your looking for a sweet treat stop in and grab some ice cream. Bathhouses need attention though wasn’t pleased.

Section 1 is TIGHT but the remaining loops are great as long as you dont need sewer hookups!!!

I’ve been camping here 2 or 3 times a year for the past 19 years. Wooded area, spacious campsites, & the cabins are always so clean. Trade days & Halloween are my favorite times to come. A couple of short hiking trails. A lot of history. Ironwork museum I think it’s like $1 or $2 a person & it’s worth walking through.

Worth the stop!

Beautiful historic buildings and a very cold spring fed creek. Great for kids bikes and swimming in the creek. Bathhouses need attention but overall very nice camping place.

Beautiful location but the bathrooms were dirty. It seems we went during a semi busy time. The have lots of spots and most are in the shade. There is a creek to splash in and lots of history to enjoy. There is a nice playground for the kids. Bring lots of bug spray.

This camp site has camping from primitive all the way to cabins. Bring your RV or camper and enjoy the views. Situated on a beautiful mountain side just minute from university of alabama. Camp beside a churning creek and listen to nature. Historical museum included with very reasonable camping fee or just a visitor charge. Very nice homestyle restaurant and creamery in site. Craft cabins to keep the kids entertained and plenty of trails for hiking. Visit the original forge site or go watch the blacksmith school and learn some tricks.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds in Alabama. So much for so many to enjoy. In the fall they have a Halloween decoration contest between campers and then after that comes the Christmas. There is many trails to enjoy. My favorite spot is the bubbling springs, no matter how hot the summer sun is the water is always ice cold and bubbling! They have an Ice cream/candy store on site, a church is located on the campground. There is a restaurant in the park. The third weekend of every month they have the trade days which is a huge sale of trades and other goodies. So many hidden treasures in this park! Be sure not to miss!

This campground is near to home so it's our most frequented camping spot. There is a nice little Creek that flows through for fishing. My family has caught small bass and bream and once a year in April they stock it with trout and hold a trout tournament. There is a natural spring called bubbling springs that all the kids love splashing in. It feeds right into the creek and often you find people swimming in the creek there. The creek snakes through park with walking trails alongside it so the walks are nice there. They have many trails that people ride bikes on as well. There is a museum to look at the historical aspects of the park. The old iron works still stands. All of the cabins are old site cabins that were brought in and you can rent those. My family from out of state have rented at least once a year for the last decade. If you look at the website for the park they list activities year round. All kinds of things for old and young alike. Tannehill will always hold a a special place due to the memories made with our family there!

I had another wonderful stay at Tannehill State Park but this time with family. This place is close enough to the interstate that it is very convenient yet so very secluded and peacful. The cabins are basic but efficent and hold historical values. Several activities such as the Museum, Frontier Farm and Minature ridable train will keep you engaged but the best is the trail system. The Mountain Bike trails are a blast and well maintained. Definately worth the trip for that alone as my previous trips have been for. I highly recomend this place regardless of your style of camping.

Beautiful park but check the dates to see what is going on before you go. You can rent a cabin or set up an RV or tent. It's a pretty busy campground so if you're looking for solitude I wouldn't suggest this one. It's great for families though. Kids riding bikes, tons of shade and a creek. There's a museum describing the old ironworks. There are activities ranging from outdoor movie nights to Trade Days where vendors sell their wares like an open flea market. They have nice trails for varying levels of hikers.

We arrived in to this campground very late. We were driving cross country and were directed to this campground by a local when we were searching for a nonexistent KOA. We arrived after hours and it wasn't clear how we do an after hours checkin. We drove around, selected a site and within minutes a ranger pulled up. He politely took our information and gave us a camp pass along with the bathroom code. We weren't parked too far from the cabins that used to be at the KOA that has since closed down. The site was plenty large enough to accommodate our two small tents. The site came complete with a fire ring and picnic table and a lovely stream at the back. It did rain on us, really hard but the sounds of the stream and rain fall, it was a lovely place to be. It had some really majestic looking walkways and the trees were spectacular. The bathhouse was clean and more then sufficient. Would be a great place to stop for a longer period of time.

This is really a fun campground to take your family to but it can get pretty crowded during popular times. The park is in a great part of Alabama and is located close to a lot of the best hiking in the state. Additionally, the park is set up on an old ironworks plant where many people lived and worked. You can explore the park and learn all about the history of the ironwork industry. They even have a museum which explains the process. While we were there they were having movie night for anyone staying in the park on a giant screen. They also have an ice cream shop since it gets so hot out. We didn't get a chance to explore as many of the trails as we would have liked but we will definitely be back. My one major suggestion would be to prepare for very hot weather in the summer months.

Camped at Tannehill for our 12th anniversary. It was Flea Market weekend, also. The museum there is very interesting and educational.

We went out for a quick overnight camping trip for the weekend, left on a Saturday afternoon to get there and set up camp. We were planning to hike the next morning. Got set up with a primitive camp site. The negative is that the primitive camping is right across a narrow creek from the RV camp sites. It was loud all evening and night long until about 2am. (Most RV had big flat screen tv's hooked up outside their rv's and blasting football games ans tv shows which also took away from the fact we were trying to camp and enjoy the outdoors.) Also, the park securities drove their trucks through the campsite about every 35-45 minutes which made it really hard to stay asleep since the roads throughout the campsites are gracel roads. If you like to RV camp, this place is for you. If you want to primitive camp and do some hiking...don't even bother coming here! Won't make the same mistake twice.
