Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park Campground welcomes pets throughout three campground areas adjacent to a creek, with more spacious sites in sections 2 and 3. Campers can bring dogs to both primitive tent sites and full-hookup RV spots with water, electric, and sewer connections. The park maintains clean, well-lit bathroom facilities with codes provided at check-in, though some campers note bathhouses could use attention. Outdoor activities for pets include hiking trails alongside a creek, with plenty of shade trees providing cover during hot Alabama summers. All pet waste must be properly disposed of in trash receptacles located throughout the campground. The park enforces leash requirements for all dogs, with security regularly patrolling the grounds. Both Oak Mountain State Park and Deerlick Creek also accommodate pets at their campsites. Camping photos and user guides for Green Pond, Alabama are available on The Dyrt.
The natural spring called Bubbling Springs provides a unique experience for campers with dogs, offering a refreshingly cold water source even during hot summer months. Pet owners should prepare for varying weather conditions, as summer temperatures can be extreme while providing appropriate shade and water for animals. The creek running through Tannehill offers dogs cooling opportunities, with many families allowing their pets to splash in designated areas. Primitive camping sites position campers right across a narrow creek from RV sites, which can create some noise considerations for those seeking quiet environments with pets. The park features multiple trails suitable for dog walking, though visitors should be aware that certain times bring increased crowds, particularly during special events like Trade Days held the third weekend of each month. Wildlife encounters are possible, so keeping pets secured is essential for their safety and the protection of natural resources. Birmingham South RV Park provides an alternative pet-friendly option with 99 sites available year-round.

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

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.

No Longer Open
This RV park is no longer open. It has been abandoned for some time. At one time it was very nice. I remember visiting it when it first opened. Do not plan on staying at this campground.

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

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.
Guide to Green Pond
Camping options near Green Pond, Alabama cluster around the Warrior River basin at approximately 400 feet elevation. The terrain consists of rolling wooded hills with limestone outcroppings that create natural water features throughout the region.

What to do
Creek exploration: Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park features a creek system perfect for dogs and humans to cool off during hot weather. "The creek is peaceful and adds great ambiance, but there's no designated access area for wading or swimming. That said, lots of kids were playing in the water right near their sites," notes Randi P. The park maintains miles of hiking trails marked by difficulty level.
Historic ironworks tours: Visitors can explore restored 19th century structures including furnaces, a mill and blacksmith shop. "The park is also full of historical buildings like an old mill, furnace, blacksmith shop, and restored cabins (some are available to rent)," according to Randi P. The historical aspects provide educational opportunities between outdoor activities.
Trade Days events: Plan around the monthly vendor market at Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park. "If you visit during one of their Trade Days weekends, you're in for a treat—it's like a huge flea market with over 400 vendors, food stands, and all kinds of local treasures," explains Randi P. The markets occur the third weekend each month.
What campers like
Secluded camping areas: Burchfield Branch Park offers sites that feel completely private despite being established campgrounds. "Site 17 had a small path to the bathroom for short natural stroll," notes Genie C. The campground features waterfront sites and others nestled along small streams.
Digital disconnection: Some campgrounds offer a true break from technology. "There is no reception here…cell phones and aircards won't work…so if you want to disconnect it's an ideal place to do so," explains Linda G. about Burchfield Branch Park. This feature provides a rare opportunity for complete immersion in nature.
Waterfront access: Several pet-friendly camping options provide direct water access. "We had a blast. The beach was closed when we went but we still enjoyed all the trails and basketball goal! We stayed right on the river in the perfect spot," writes Meredith M. about Deerlick Creek. The river access points allow for kayaking and fishing directly from campsites.
What you should know
Varying bathroom facilities: Quality and accessibility of restrooms varies widely between campgrounds. "The toilet/shower facility heavily used which badly needs updating," notes Napunani about Oak Mountain State Park. Consider bringing portable shower options during peak seasons when facilities may be overtaxed.
Reservation systems: Each campground handles booking differently. For Tannehill, "The process is easy—you just pull in, find a site, and register/pay the next morning," according to Randi P. Other parks require advance reservations, especially during busy seasons.
Wildlife considerations: Dogs may encounter wildlife including snakes. "I have heard that snakes are in the area so even though I haven't seen any myself, I am careful with my pup," Linda G. warns about Burchfield Branch. Proper leashing becomes especially important for pet safety.
