"Situated on a beautiful mountain side just minute from university of alabama. Camp beside a churning creek and listen to nature."
"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."
"Nice quite camping area. nice bath houses, walking trails and wonderful inground pool!"

"Oak Mountain State Park is Alabama’s largest state park. Located just outside of Birmingham, it’s easy to escape to nature without being too far off the beaten path. This park is HUGE!"

"Didn't see much but lake was very buetiful. Worth coming back."
ScoutTo be fair, the check in and staff were nice. Sites are level and partially shaded. Rules loosely enforced as there were trucks parked on grass which was noted as a very prominent rule on reservation and check in. Ants attempted to infest anything we sat outside (not food related items were specifically targeted as it was a pair of diving boots and our leveling blocks). It was horrible. There’s little to no control over everyone’s dogs. The best you can get is that they are leashed, otherwise, lunging at people or other dogs and barking all throughout the day is completely permitted. The sites are very small and your neighbors sewer hookups happen to be about 3 feet from your site’s picnic table. It’s just gross.
ScoutNice place , but the internet doesn’t work, bathrooms clean
ScoutThe host are very nice and very helpful. This was a group event. The spots are very close and perfect from group camping.
LegendThe Payne Lake spillway is a nice place to have a picnic and view the lake. There is a pavilion with four picnic tables underneath it and then there are isolated picnic tables around the area. They have fire pits and grills nearby for cooking. There are also bathrooms across from the pavilion. The boat ramp for the lake is right down the road from the spillway parking area. No camping is allowed in this area of the campground.
GuideDidn’t get to explore much as we stayed 1 night passing through. First come first serve reservations. There were many open spots when we arrived. We paid $25 that included electric hookup, bath house with showers, water on site, and a dump station. I believe you can pay another $5 for sewage on site. There were still several other RVs and trailers here, everyone being very friendly and keeping to themselves. Very quiet sleep and bathrooms were clean. Would definitely recommend.
RangerStayed here for a few days in March 2025. Beautiful campground. My only complaint is the staff are hard to find. Upon checking in there was no one at the office and after 2 days there I had to hunt someone down for my tag and questions regarding the gate closing at night. Clean bath houses & campground. Good place for my dogs to swim as well. Also only small complaint is most of the decks at the campsites are rotting.
GuideThe rv sites look maintained. Tent camping is not. Ground is unkept so be careful of sticks poking holes in the floor. If you have a truck-mounted tent, you will have to get an RV site as you have to carry your tent a short ways. The rest of the park is great.
LegendHad a nice spot right on the water. Lots of fisherman here and each site has a fish cleaning station. Place to put your boat in right when you enter the campground. Lots of mosquitos when the sun goes down so bring your spray.
GuideI have camped here several times, alway relaxing and restful. Has a latrine, no water or electric. Has boat ramp and camping areas are near pacer park roads. Local traffic is mostly folks going to boat ramp. Camping area is along bluff over looking the River. Second area is in a grove at the end of the paved road and turn around. Ample space, some folks also pull RV down to an area near the boat ramp. Other that the latrine self-contained rustic camping.
