Chilton County Minooka Park

Where central Alabama's rolling hills meet recreational trails, Chilton County Minooka Park accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups across 30-40 concrete sites. The county-operated facility features paved asphalt roads and spacious sites with concrete patios, making access straightforward for larger rigs year-round.

The park centers around off-road vehicle recreation, with extensive trail networks for dirt bikes and ATVs threading through the property. A dedicated dirt track provides space for motorized recreation and even RC car racing. The sound of engines carries across the campground throughout the day, creating an active atmosphere that appeals to off-road enthusiasts. A small fishing lake with new concrete docks offers quieter recreation, though boating and paddling are not permitted.

Recent improvements include a three-stall bathhouse with individual shower facilities and strong wireless coverage reported across the grounds. Patty D. notes "very clean bathrooms with full showers" and highlights ongoing facility upgrades. A playground serves families with children, while a walking trail loops around the lake for those seeking less motorized recreation.

Reservations are available through the county system. For additional regional options, campers can explore camping near Calera or check nearby Peach Queen Campground for different settings. The facility operates year-round with pets welcome on leash.

ATV park

Very clean, spacious, well built park. Its main claim to fame is the off roading trails for bikes or side by sides. They can be heard all over the campground so if you like peace and quiet not the park for you. They also don’t have laundry but do have nice three stall bath house and playground for kids.

Fine for big RV’s

It’s more of an RV park than campground. There are spaces for tents, but they don’t have picnic tables. The trees are actually behind the sites. So, don’t think about a hammock. The bathrooms are clean, but there are no showers.

Quite new and very quiet

So far there’s nothing here I don’t like! From what I’ve been told, this RV destination has seen significant improvements overs the last 2 years and they are still working on things. Right now there’s about 30-40 spots, spaced out well, and lots of trails! There’s a small lake but it’s only for fishing. Can’t paddle board or canoe here. Dirt bikes and Atv’s have lots of trails to ride! They have a dirt track for dirt bikes or even RC cars which we used the other day. Very clean bathrooms with full showers. Brand new docks to fish from! They’re putting in a sports area but isn’t done yet. Overall, this campground is very nice and for day use really fun if you have dirt bikes or an ATV.

Dirt Bike and ATV trails

Minooka is a really fun place. They just added several tv hookups and have an almost new bath house with large showers. The playground is also small but nice. Lots of trails to hit on the dirt bikes or ATVs. We go for day riding trips once a month or so.
