  They put a massive amount of money into updating this place. This is the #1 best state park campground I have ever been at. Some of the non-5star reviews are people before the updates or people that really should just be at a KOA resort.

  This place has everything, mtn bike, gravel bike, trail running, road running, road biking, golf, equestrian, sailing and fishing.

  It has wifi throughout and almost everywhere in the park has cell reception.

  Wonderful updates

  I grew up near oak mountain and it’s always been a decent campground for the price. After we purchased our first camper this summer we decided to go give it a shot at Oak Mountain before we went further out. We were unaware that they had completely revamped the entire place. The bathhouses were awesome and clean as were the laundry rooms. They had plenty of supplies in the store if you forgot something. We will be returning during the fall. Sites are pretty spacious and well maintained.

  Beautiful campground year round

  Having visited 3 times now, twice before the renovations and now once after, I can confidently say I love this park! I have previously primitive camped here and now camper at a full hookup RV site. Tent sites range from "water in vicinity," "water at site," and "water and 20 amp power at site." Rv sites are water and electric or full hook up. I think all RV sites are now 50/30/20 but I'm not certain. There is a dump station near the exit of the campground. Sites are mostly level/slight grade but found that not all drain very well when it rains, including our site a17.

  The park has so many different activities including -Hiking -Bmx trails -Swimmimg -Archery range And more I can't even remember.

  Flip side watersports operates at 2 locations and paid activities include -wake boarding -Aqua Park And rentals of -Kayaks -stand up paddle boards -paddle boats And -Canoes.

  There are things to do year round and the weather was great for mid July.

  Beautiful Campground

  This state park has it all. A place to swim, numerous hiking trails, playgrounds, etc. The newly remodeled campground is spectacular. The pads are super level (at least in A16. Small tent spots sprinkled in. Saw security and police several times just passing through to check on folks. Love that. We will be back many more times for sure.

  Backcountry Site — Oak Mountain State Park

  A family tradition

  I’ve been going here since I was a kid and it’s one of my favorite places in the world. You’ll never run out of things to do between the endless hiking trails, the museum of wildlife, and the wildlife rescue center. There’s an archery station within the park and a petting farm. The campground is easily navigated with multiple bathhouses per campground so you’ll always have one nearby.

  The campground is wooded with electric and water hookups . Very nice!

  The campground is very nice and woodsy.  The campsites have water and electric hookups.  They have nice paddocks for your horses.  The multiple trails are so beautiful .  I have been here many times.

  Just okay

  I have camped at the horse campground a few times. Nothing fancy there, they are side by side pull thrus similar to a KOA. And the horse trails are nice. This time I camped at the regular campground in a travel trailer. Site A14. Site was pull thru across from camphosts and bathroom. Site was small but nice - water/elec only and pull thru. Picnic table and fire ring, no grill. Camp hosts (woman) was friendly. Asked for assistance in moving a bench so my son could get his wheelchair along the sidewalk to the men’s bathroom: her husband (assume they are married) never came out despite being asked by his wife a few times and me waiting 20 min. On that note, the bathrooms are old and dingy and not ADA at all. But it would have been nice to get some assistance. Overall, this is a good campground if you have young kids and like a lot of activity around you and don’t need anything ADA. Oh and be aware of poison ivy. It was EVERYWHERE

  Quite new and very quiet

  So far there’s nothing here I don’t like! From what I’ve been told, this RV destination has seen significant improvements overs the last 2 years and they are still working on things. Right now there’s about 30-40 spots, spaced out well, and lots of trails! There’s a small lake but it’s only for fishing. Can’t paddle board or canoe here. Dirt bikes and Atv’s have lots of trails to ride! They have a dirt track for dirt bikes or even RC cars which we used the other day. Very clean bathrooms with full showers. Brand new docks to fish from! They’re putting in a sports area but isn’t done yet. Overall, this campground is very nice and for day use really fun if you have dirt bikes or an ATV.

  The customer service was terrible! There was a bit of confusion while checking in and they ended up over charging my card by 40 dollars. Which would have been fine we chose to extend our reservation. However, they don't want to refund my money. I have had to jump through hoops just to gain consideration on the matter. In the beginning I was completely shut down with one excuse after another as to why my transactions from the bank were not accurate. Then I had to print off a official statement from my bank which is not a option. For security reasons they only mail requested statements physically to the address on file aside from the monthly statement issued at the end of each month and its th 8th! So I had to pay another 39 dollars to extend. I used the same card to show the same type of charge previously because we ended up paying cash upon check in. That wasn't enough! Its 2 days after check out and I still don't have my money back. She said the accountant had to review the alleged charge. I was outraged. Not to mention the fact that it wasn't I who made the mistake why was I having to jump through hoops regardless.

  Good For Quick Overnight Stay

  Literally right off the interstate at Tuscaloosa. Much lower noise level than I expected. Definitely a parking lot, without trees. We are in site 9, pretty level gravel site, electric and water hookup only. 2 dump stations are available, 2 dog parks. 30 dollars a night. Mostly long term parking. No firepits or picnic tables. Check in by phone, no office.

  Dirt Bike and ATV trails

  Minooka is a really fun place. They just added several tv hookups and have an almost new bath house with large showers. The playground is also small but nice. Lots of trails to hit on the dirt bikes or ATVs. We go for day riding trips once a month or so.

  Underwhelmed

  The park itself is beautiful, but the campground was trashy in my opinion. We were just traveling through but I wouldn’t want to stay for longer than a night. The campground by the interstate exit was a lot nicer when driving by.

  The spot we had was extremely hard to park in and the hookups didn’t make sense how they were posted. Pavilion looked dumpy and not well kept.

  Huge Park

  PROS 

  Senior discount 

  Reserved 363 days prior to arriving 

  Very friendly check in staff H

  Huge park…very nicely landscaped and neatly mowed 

  Quiet 

  Regularly saw ranger driving through campground 

  A30 level site and nearly full shade coverage 

  Moveable wooden and metal picnic table 

  Metal fire pit with cooking grate 

  Campfire wood for sale at park office 

  Don’t miss the TREE TOP NATURE TRAIL! 

  Good food at The Grille at Oak Mountain State Park inside the Pro Shop at The Oaks Golf Course 

  All major shopping and eateries just beyond the park boundaries in Pelham, Hoover and Birmingham 

  CONS

  $5 reservation fee for making my own on-line reservation 

  Street lights throughout campground 

  Toilet/shower facility heavily used which badly needs updating 

  Campground trash dumpsters are beyond the campground gate…not walkable 

  Poor signage upon entering Park. We stopped at the first building on the right, as it was marked RANGER OFFICE with a large, rig-friendly parking area, but it was not a check-in for campers. Then we went through another gate on the main roadway and it wasn’t the campground check-in either. Campground directional signs after we got through that gate. Glad we didn’t arrive in the dark! 

  Limited and very tight rig parking at campground gate check-in 

  No notice by park on the south entrance roadwork and roundabout construction...horribly tight to maneuver... recommend North entrance/exit until construction is completed…that’s how we departed. 

  Never saw a camp host 

  No WiFi 

  2 bars Verizon

  Large park

  Beautiful large park. One night. Likes the site arrangements - interspersed with tent sites, parking pads at a different angle next to each other. Enjoyed the Peavine Falls Trail on the way out of the park in the morning. Have to buy a trail map. Damp wood from the camp store. TMobile good signal.

  Carry in tent sites

  I had booked a tent site at Oak Mountain - site unseen. The tent sites were across from the RV sites (the RV sites in this area were very close together- there were other RV sites with more distance between). My site had power and water. There were two section on my site. One higher (I assume for tent setup) and one lower, surrounded by a wall of cinder blocks . The power and water hookup was just above the cinder blocks so I assume that area was for table/kitchen set up, or canopy/screenroom. I chose to setup my tent below the wall due to the ground being more level and flat (and a bit more privacy). The site was completely shaded so great for camping in warmer months, and the tent sites were spaced a good distance from each other.
  My only drawback was that this was a carry-on site. You couldn’t park directly on the site. It wasn’t too terribly far of a walk, but it was up and down a steep hill. So me being unaware, did not bring appropriate way to carry my heavy gear 1000 feet or more , up and down a hill. Not a problem if you have a strong man with you, but for this 60 year old bird-it was a challenge. All in all the tent sites are fairly spacious (don’t think you could put an 18 person tent tho) have good space between each site, have power and water and are shaded.
  Drawbacks would be the distance from parking to setup area.

  Quiet beautiful park

  We stayed for three days in December 2021 and really enjoyed it. Camp was about 1/3 full and it felt like we had the whole state park for ourselves. Bath houses were adequate and very clean, little long in the tooth. Four washers and three dryers on site all worked great. Staff was super nice and helpful. Highly recommend the site we stayed at, it was in the back of the camp near the lake.

  Does Not Allow Car Camping

  I was not informed upon check-in that car or van camping is not allowed. The ranger was kind enough to let me stay for the rest of the night but said I was required to buy a tent if I wanted to stay the next night. I politely asked why they had this policy and they couldn't even give me a reason.
