    Gunter Hill Campground's pet-friendly sites provide spacious concrete pads with full hookups in the newer Catoma Loop, while the Antioch Loop offers more rustic water and electric sites better suited for tent camping with dogs. Both areas feature clean bathrooms, hot showers, and peaceful wooded surroundings along the Alabama River. Kountry Air RV Park welcomes pets at their well-maintained property with level gravel sites and full hookups. Camp Sherrye on the Coosa offers pet-friendly accommodations with water, electric, and sewer connections in a riverside setting. Jackson Lake Towne of Spectre maintains a well-manicured lawn where pet owners can enjoy visits from the property's friendly goats while camping. Peach Park RV Park provides convenient overnight stays with concrete pads and full hookups for travelers with pets along Interstate 65.

    Dogs must remain leashed throughout all campgrounds in the Marbury area, with owners responsible for proper waste disposal. The large dog run at Camp Sherrye connects to their playground area, allowing supervised pets to exercise while children play nearby. Hiking opportunities abound on walking trails at Kountry Air RV Park, while Gunter Hill offers waterfront sites with boat access for fishing excursions with four-legged companions. Local wildlife sightings require pet supervision, particularly regarding snakes in warmer months. The campgrounds maintain quiet atmospheres conducive to peaceful stays despite being conveniently located near attractions. Full-time maintenance staff keep campground grounds clean and well-groomed for comfortable pet outings.

      The Backyard RV Resort

      Home away from home

      We are baaaack! We came back on Friday, the 26th and decided to stay a week. Shannon and his wife, Stacey have the gift of hospitality. We feel safe here with the hidden location and security cameras. Our dogs enjoyed the dog park and walks through the woods and around the lake. I enjoyed the watching the cows and dog herding the goats through the clearing. There is also a playground for kids.

      Peach Queen Campground

      Great campground with friendly staff

      The staff here is wonderful. They've helped us adjust to full time RV Life over that past 4 months. The residents here are very friendly as well.

      They have a dog park at the front and a large field in the back door our dog to run and play. The pavilion is also great for getting out, even in rainy weather.

      The pool is amazing. Plenty of chairs and umbrellas to rest and our kids love the slide.

      Montgomery South RV Park

      Great little campground off I-65

      Ultra clean Good Sam campground located just off I-65. Staff was wonderful and engaging. Expect a former Marine to escort you to your site, rain or shine. It was pouring buckets when we arrived and he insisted on taking us literally across the street from the camp store to ensure we had everything we needed.

      All lots appeared to be pull thru and level. Due to rain, we kept our Airstream connected to the truck and just connected water and electricity. Leveling was minimal (fore/aft) with no need for blocks or boards.

      Recommend staying in sites closer to camp store, as they are farthest from interstate. We barely heard it from site 2.

      Laundry room was clean and available to wash/dry lots of towels due to rain and wet dog. Water pressure in campground is 80 psi.

      Large fenced dog park at north end and plenty of green space for walking your puppy. Just be aware there are rabbits all over the place.

      Propane is available on site and the camp store has a little bit of everything. And there’s a Love’s truck stop at the exit as well.

      Great spot for an overnight stay on your trip. You won’t find a nicer staff or a cleaner campground!a

      RV Friendly, not so much for tents

      This is an okay campground but really caters to RVs. There's a whole lot of concrete, perfect for recreational vehicles but not so much for tent or hammock campers. It's more of an RV resort of sorts.

      Tent sites are cheap at $5/night but you're limited to only 7 nights. Which probably won't matter to a tent camper here, as I would think being here for that long would be a bit much.

      There are a ton of amenities here, including an old softball field turned into a dog park of sorts. There is a nice little lake but that's about it in terms of 'natural' amenities. Okay spot if you just need a place to stay the night but I wouldn't prolong a visit here. Also sort of loud given its close proximity to the train tracks.

      Birmingham South RV Park

      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.

      Kountry Air RV Park

      Natural & Beautifully Wooded

      My husband's job requires constant travel. We stayed here for five weeks for a job in Selma. I absolutely LOVED this campground! GiGi and Don work tirelessly six days a week. If there were 8 days in a week, they would work 7. Beautiful flowers, more trees than I have ever seen in a campground, fenced dog park, seasonal pool, bathrooms with a shower, large laundry room/sitting area at the front of the park, book/DVD swap, second laundry room being renovated at the back of the park, propane filled on site and safe walking within the park (hills). Some road noise but not obnoxious. Will absolutely stay here again if we are in the area.

      Lovely

      Great campground for military, large level sites. Long term sites have covered patios. Full hookup, no wi fi. Laundry rooms, 1.00 to wash and dry, with efficient cycles. Lake with playground and large dog park. Exceptionally friendly staff. Quiet and we'll maintained. Shower rooms available, although have not used. You do hear planes going over but not too loud as some AFB's we've stayed at. Relvery plays at 6:30 am, Star Spangled Banner at 5:00pm, and TAPS at 9pm, not offensively loud, kinda like it. Would highly recommend and will be staying awhile great monthly rates. Great Verizon signal.

      The Backyard RV Resort

      Pretty Setting!

      Honestly, wasn't sure when we first turned in the driveway.  However, very happy with the park!  We were lucky enough to score a site on the water.  Spots are level and decent sized.  Booking was a breeze, staff was very friendly.  We didn't use the bathrooms or laundry room but they look very clean and recently updated.  Also has a very nice fenced in dog park for off leash play time.

      Our AT&T had 5 bars and streamed videos with no problem.  Verizon had 4 bars as well.


    Guide to Marbury

    Prairie Creek Campground offers spacious waterfront campsites along the Alabama River with multiple concrete pads and water/electric hookups. Many sites sit right at the water's edge, allowing campers to fish directly from their site with shoreline access. Located just 23 miles southwest of Marbury, this Corps of Engineers campground features mostly shaded sites and well-maintained bathroom facilities, though campers should be prepared for limited cell service with most carriers.

    What to Do

    Fishing from your campsite: At Prairie Creek Campground, many sites provide direct water access for fishing. "We saw huge paddlefish jumping out of the water, many birds and deer on the nature trail. Bring fishing poles," notes Jess S. The shoreline access lets anglers catch gar, blue catfish, and crappie without leaving their site.

    Kayaking and canoeing: The Alabama River system provides excellent paddling opportunities. Campers can "drop our canoe in the water from the boat ramp to explore Woodruff Lake which was fantastic," according to Zachary K. The multiple boat ramps make water access simple for paddlers of all experience levels.

    Trail exploration: Oak Mountain State Park Campground features extensive hiking trails about an hour north of Marbury. "Oak Mountain is a big state park with lots to do (golf, biking, archery, lots of trails that are very well marked, petting zoo, very neat trail with rescued owls, turkeys and red hawks, and more)," reports Scott C. The trails range from 1 to 15 miles in length.

    Swimming and water recreation: Most campgrounds in the region offer swimming opportunities during warmer months. "Large lakes for fishing, swimming or canoeing," mentions Scott C. about Oak Mountain State Park. Water temperatures remain comfortable for swimming from late April through early October in most areas.

    What Campers Like

    Spacious, level sites: Gunter Hill receives consistent praise for its well-designed campsites. "Large sites, shaded, have sewer hookups, concrete pads, many on a beautiful lake," writes druann B. The campground's recent renovations have improved site quality with "large concrete pads, as well as water and electrical hook ups," according to Ian D.

    Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the thoughtful layout at area campgrounds. "The sites are nicely spaced out so even if there had been a lot of people there, it wouldn't have felt too crowded," reports Sarah C. This spacing helps maintain a more natural camping experience even when parks are busy.

    Quiet atmosphere: Pet friendly camping near Marbury tends to be peaceful, especially during weekdays. "It was a Thursday night following 4th of July and there were several others there but only a small number of other campers," notes Richard A. about Gunter Hill. The tranquility makes these campgrounds ideal for those seeking to escape noise.

    Wildlife viewing: The natural setting around Kountry Air RV Park creates opportunities to observe local wildlife. "Just a beautiful and bucolic setting," mentions Steve D. Many campers report seeing deer, various bird species, and occasionally small reptiles during their stays.

    What You Should Know

    Ant prevention: Several campgrounds in the Marbury area require preparation for ants, especially in warmer months. At Prairie Creek Campground, "the only negative was the amount of ants, which we kept out of the camper with comet," advises Nate S. Bringing ant prevention supplies is strongly recommended for all sites.

    Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies widely between campgrounds. "Sketchy phone service...we have verizon and had very limited coverage," reports Wolf P. about Prairie Creek Campground. However, sites closer to Montgomery typically have stronger signals, with Gunter Hill offering "Great Verizon signal and numerous free digital TV stations to choose from," according to Rick G.

    Seasonal considerations: The best camping weather near Marbury occurs from March through May and September through November. Summer months can be extremely hot and humid, while winter camping remains available but with significantly cooler temperatures. "We stayed in winter... being right on the lake and having the ducks swim up really thrilled our dogs," notes Erin L. about winter camping at Wind Creek State Park.

    Reservation timing: Most campgrounds fill quickly for weekends and holidays, especially waterfront sites. Reservations should be made at least 3-6 months in advance for prime spots during peak season (April-October).

    Tips for Camping with Families

    Playgrounds and activities: Multiple campgrounds offer dedicated children's areas. Gunter Hill features "a sizable modern playground right next to the bathhouse," according to Richard A., while Wind Creek State Park Campground has numerous recreational options including "mini golf, a beach area for swimming, and plenty of fishing spots," as noted by Romeo M.

    Pet and child-friendly areas: Camp Sherrye on the Coosa provides combined play spaces. "They have a large dog run, but it is connected to the playground," mentions Brittany V., making it convenient for families with both children and pets to recreate together.

    Swimming safety: Most waterfront sites have natural shorelines rather than developed beaches. "Sites along the lake tended to be closer together than I like, but with great views," reports Terry P. about Prairie Creek. Parents should supervise children closely around water areas, especially where currents may exist.

    Educational opportunities: Several parks offer nature programs and wildlife viewing opportunities. Oak Mountain features "a very neat trail with rescued owls, turkeys and red hawks," according to Scott C., providing educational experiences for children.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup positioning: At Gunter Hill, some campers note sewer connection challenges. "The sewer was a bit far from the parking pad. If you have a single black tank hose this may be an issue," warns Richard A. Bringing extension hoses is recommended for most pet friendly RV camping near Marbury.

    Leveling requirements: While many sites feature concrete pads, some still require adjustment. At Wind Creek Atmore Casino RV Park, "While they are paved sites, we found that you do have to level out still by around 3 inches," notes Brittany V.

    Site selection strategy: Waterfront sites offer the best views but tend to be more exposed to weather. "We moved to site 18 which was level with the water and pretty wide open," mentions Nate S. about Prairie Creek, highlighting how different sites within the same campground can provide varied experiences.

    Entrance and navigation tips: Several campgrounds have specific entrance requirements. For Kountry Air RV Park, "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," advises MickandKarla W.
