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.
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.

Decatur / Wheeler Lake KOA Holiday
Awesome
We spent a night here on our way to Florida. We originally booked a year ago when it was a KOA, but before we arrived, they switched to Unhitched. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The inside sites had full hookups, but we opted for a waterside site with a view, which was a great choice. They even had live music, and the band was fantastic. I bought a couple of bundles of firewood, and they delivered them to us. We’ll definitely stay here again for a couple of nights next time, as it was worth it. We didn’t use the bathhouse.

Monte Sano State Park Campground
Surrounded by nature close to town
Campground is completely surrounded by nature. The crickets and what not at night were almost deafening but in a good way. The facilities are well taken care of and the staff is friendly. The best water pressure at a campground shower I have ever experienced. Sites are spread out just enough to give you privacy but still a little camp neighborhood. Perfect base camp for activities around the area such as the Space and Rocket Center

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.

Monte Sano State Park Campground
Hiking biking near civilization
Level sites in the woods.good separation between rv sites. Washer/dryer in bath houses. Lots of hiking trails but it has been raining every day so trails r too wet. For July the temp has been very comfortable. Well maintained park. Easy to get to if u follow the directions given by park - don’t follow ur gps.

Lentzville Road
Beautiful
Absolutely beautiful spot. There are trash cans at each of the three pull-offs. However, there is shattered glass, trash, and abused trees at each of the spots. Daily reminder to treat the few free spots we have left with respect and to leave it better than you found it. A woman who camps here frequently warned us about the man that lives near these spots. She said that he and his two dogs will come snoop, but we didn’t have a problem from him, but both of his dogs came down and barked at us in our site at 7 am. They weren’t necessarily aggressive but they definitely weren’t friendly. Besides that, fantastic vibes. If you camp here, I recommend camping at one of the two that are farther away from the guys house and you won’t have a problem with either him or the dogs. Very close to the water, very close to the road. Lots of wildlife so be prepared for fish jumping, critters, branches snapping, snuffling, birds throwing hands, and growling. More here than at most other sites in my experience. You can get great fishing done here but I believe you need a permit. Great stars out here too.
