GuideTannehill Ironworks Historical State Park Campground
Wow, where to begin. We weren't ready. We had a concert in Birmingham and wanted to camp beforehand. We thought it would be relaxing and fun and we'd have nature time before being in a huge crowd at a concert. Wrong. Very. Very. Wrong. We came a few days before Halloween and we stayed 5 days. Halloween, is apparently, a huge deal at this park. I mean literally thousands of people in the park. Hundreds of decorated camp sites. So. Much. Noise. That lasted for 3 days. On the 4th day, we woke up and almost everyone was gone. But, some mountain bike gang decided to set up a warm up area for their trail, all around our campsite, which was weird bc there were other areas it could have been. After the 3 days of Halloween it was surreal at this point. Our van being circled by mountain bikers warming up..this place is wild. Im writing on the 5th morning, we're leaving today. It's pretty peaceful out, I can actually hear birds. I wish it had been this way for the entire trip. I think if we had known what we were getting into and could have planned to participate in the festivities maybe I would have ranked higher. Also this park seems more geared towards selling campsites, some are ridiculously placed and they try to squeeze in as much as they can. Its for mountain biking, almost all the trails are bike trails. And there's history here which is actually really cool.

Love's RV Hookup-Steele AL 304
Great stop!!
Clean park. Cement pads, full hookups for $45 with discount. Good Sam, military or senior discounts. 2 dogs parks is a bonus. There's also a pavilion available with a gas grill and fire pit. I'll stay at more Love's in my travels.

Great layover
We stayed at Palomino RV Park as a layover on our trip from Indiana to Destin, and it was an excellent stop. The campground is right off the highway, and from the exit to pulling into our site was literally just a few minutes, which made it incredibly convenient for an overnight stay.
The staff was very friendly, the campground was in pristine condition, and the amenities were great. Our kids especially enjoyed the paddleboards and kayaks on the pond, and our dog loved having a fenced-in dog park to run around in.
Our site had full hookups, a nice concrete pad, and a freestanding fireplace, which made for a very comfortable stay.
If I had one complaint, it would be the $8 bundle of firewood. Compared with other campgrounds we’ve stayed at, the bundle was extremely small. That’s a very minor issue, though, and certainly wouldn’t keep us from coming back.
We would 100% book here again when traveling through Alabama. It’s a convenient, clean, family-friendly campground and an excellent overnight stop.

Beautiful but partially abandoned
I bet this park was beautiful in its day. Unfortunately the campground area is now gated off. There is no longer an attendant at the gate either. I was working in the area and ate lunch and the swimming beach and used the restrooms. The restrooms and boat ramp are still kept up for use. There are picnic tables and fire pits still available near the swimming beach. There is one large pavilion overlooking Smith Lake. There is a boat ramp at the end of the road with a pit toilet. Would be a great place to launch kayaks, canoes, or motor boats.

Nice Campground (bathrooms need attention)
Stopped in late for an overnight on our way to Gulf Shores. Nice level concrete sites Seems secluded…for a non dispersed campground. The bathrooms however were terrible. One non -functional One over flowing and clogged One has a line as if you were at a rock concert with only porta johns.
Pretty sad for a $45 fee.
Hopefully they get that figured out and we can make it a regular stop when headed south
Nancy W.LegendBirmingham South RV Park
Close to Interstate
Conveniently located right off of Interstate I-65 with lots of pull thrus for an overnight stay. We stayed for a few nights as we had friends in town and wanted to see some of the sites and eat at the great restaurants in town. The campground is about fifteen miles from downtown Birmingham. The park is on the older side but decent enough. Roads are paved and have some potholes to navigate. Campsites are gravel sites and some patios are paved (although very small) and others are grassy. Tiny dog park. There is a covered pavilion with picnic tables that has a sink and campers outdoor kitchen although it looks like it had not been used in a while. Heated swimming pool, game room, and playground. Our park features a newly renovated store and office, a fenced playground, a heated swimming pool, descent wifi. Overall, we like the convenience of this campground to the interstate. If you have time, check out Vulcan Park and the Sloss Furnace National Historic Landmark. Definitely go to the Alabama Peanut Company for the best and most tasty peanuts you’ve ever had.

Great Stop Over
Nothing fancy here, but exactly what you need for a stopover. The park is peaceful and clearly well run, with full hookups and a nice pool to cool off after a day of driving. It has that classic former-KOA feel to it — clean, simple, and functional.
Don’t be deterred by the industrial area surrounding it — once you’re inside, there are so many mature trees you won’t even notice what’s outside the gates. The whole place stays surprisingly quiet.
Check-in was great — they actually drive you to your site to make sure everything’s hooked up and working before they leave you to settle in. Small touch, but it makes a difference. They also sell ice on site, handy if you’re running low.
If you’re passing through and need a reliable place to land for the night, you can count on this one.

A great find for our overnight stay
We found the park on the Dyrt Ap, just browsing parks in the area to stop and boy did we strike gold! Clean, nice pads, beautiful setting next year we plan to stay a couple nights to explore the area
