What you should know
Limited amenities at some parks: Several parks provide only basic facilities. One camper at Sunset RV noted, "Gravel spots with a concrete slab in front. Definitely just a no frills parking lot with full hookups. No trees, no playground, no pool, no picnic table, no fire ring."
Mixed bathroom/shower availability: Not all parks offer full facilities. At Hoover Met Complex, a camper shared, "You can use the facilities inside the stadium as well as the restroom at the playground. There are full hookups at every site with trash containers."
Variable leveling requirements: Despite paved sites, some leveling may be needed. At Rolling Hills RV Park, a reviewer explained, "Gravel site was fairly level despite being in a hilly area. There's quite a bit of space between most of the sites (particularly the back in sites)."
Seasonal demand fluctuations: Football games and events impact availability. A Hoover Met reviewer observed, "Hurricane Ian sent a multitude of people fleeing from Florida that were now headed to the Hoover Met RV. I called and verified that we still had site reservation for one night. But now the RV park was completely full."
Tips for camping with families
Look for campgrounds with playgrounds: Some parks offer recreation areas for children. A Hoover Met Complex camper mentioned, "It does have a nice kids playground and you can use the facilities inside the stadium as well as the restroom at the playground."
Consider proximity to water activities: Several parks offer water features. At Joyland RV Park, a camper noted, "This is a very clean, well maintained, camp ground. Gravel pull ins with grass area in between and ponds all around."
Research noise levels: Highway proximity can affect sleep quality. One Sunset RV reviewer stated, "It is right off of I-20 so there was lots of road noise all night. There was a very bright vapor light above our site that lit up the whole area."
Ask about seasonal pool access: Some parks offer swimming during warmer months. A Kountry Air visitor shared, "The owners Gigi & her husband work hard to keep the gardens beautiful, the campground maintained & the pool is so clean & refreshing."
Tips from RVers
Check road access routes: Some parks have preferred access routes. Regarding Kountry Air RV Park, one RVer advised, "When we made reservations, we were told to only take exit 179 off I-65 and follow the GPS directions, as any other way will take you on narrow roads, including gravel roads."
Consider site placement for hookups: Utility placement varies between parks. One RVer at Kountry Air noted, "The utilities are in the middle of the pad. We were able to position so we could get to both black tanks with a 10' sewer hose."
Ask about pull-through availability: For those towing vehicles, pull-through sites can be convenient. A Rolling Hills camper shared, "We had a pull through spot so we didn't have to disconnect our tow dolly."
Check site spacing and orientation: Site layouts affect privacy. A Kountry Air RVer mentioned, "The sites are well placed and spread out so you don't feel like you're right on top of the campers next to you."
