ScoutHistorical Experience
This ground is connected to ancient historical native american land. it’s amazing you get to walk around on two of the mounds and stay so close. there’s activities for summer saturdays i’ll be staying for. the only downside was the bathrooms, though spacious the cleanliness was below what i’d expect. it doesn’t look like it was cleaned in a long time. other than that i’d highly recommend.

LegendGreat campground with lots of history
This is a great campground managed by the University of Alabama. It is on the site of the Moundville Indian mound complex, from the Mississippian period.
There are several camp sites, most with electric and water, some have sewer. There is a central bath house, which is closed in winter. However the campground is open all year. There is a dump station as well.
The museum is very interesting and the park offers several events throughout the year based on Native American culture.
