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.

Blue Creek Public Use Area
Just as all the others have said. Beautiful. Parked on the boat ramp parking. Saw one fisherman and watched two barges pass on the river. Camp spots overlooking the river may be easy to miss if you’re not paying attention. Don’t ask me how I know. Very quiet
Michael M.GuidePalomino RV Resort
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.

Mini wonderland
Stayed a few nights at the top end of the primitive sites by the pond. Very nice and well kept campground!! From Easy trails that lead to the river and beautiful waterfalls to pond fishing with my girlfriend and dog. This place was met all of our needs.

Oak Mountain State Park Campground
Good Weekend Spot
Oak Mountain State Park is a great spot for a weekend tent camping trip. The campground is convenient, the park is beautiful, and there’s plenty to do during the day, especially if you enjoy hiking, biking, or just spending time outdoors. For a two- or three-night trip, I think it’s a really good option. That said, I’m not sure I would want to stay much longer than a weekend. The campground works well as a home base for exploring the park, but for an extended camping trip, I’d probably look for somewhere a little more scenic, secluded, or relaxing. Overall, I’d definitely come back for a weekend getaway. Oak Mountain has a lot to offer, and it’s an easy place to get outside without having to plan a major trip.
