"It is located only about 20-40 min outside downtown. Oak Mountain has several of options of things to do away from just camping and hiking (which of course are also great to do here)."

ScoutNo power, no water, grasses, room for 2 or 3 campers, just a quiet place to rest for the night. Be sure to pick up what you bring. Leave no trash. Free. No need to call for reservation. Just be respectful.
ScoutThis immaculate campground/manufactured home seller is easy off I65 and easy back on. Has laundry, playground, dog park, showers, restrooms, tv lounge vending machines, wifi, AND FULLhookup. Enjoyed one night.
Would definitely stay again.
ScoutVery nice campsites, great facilities, WiFi strength excellent and plenty of things to do.
GuideStopped 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
LegendConveniently 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.
TravelerNothing fancy here, but exactly what you need for a stopover. The park is peaceful and clearly well run, with full hookups and a nice pool to cool off after a day of driving. It has that classic former-KOA feel to it — clean, simple, and functional.
Don’t be deterred by the industrial area surrounding it — once you’re inside, there are so many mature trees you won’t even notice what’s outside the gates. The whole place stays surprisingly quiet.
Check-in was great — they actually drive you to your site to make sure everything’s hooked up and working before they leave you to settle in. Small touch, but it makes a difference. They also sell ice on site, handy if you’re running low.
If you’re passing through and need a reliable place to land for the night, you can count on this one.
ScoutThe park features a pump track and BMX course, Flipside Watersports cable wakeboarding, inflatable aquapark obstacle course, marina rentals, basketball courts, pickleball court, nature programs, Peavine Falls, Oak Mountain Interpretive Center, an 18-hole golf course and driving range, two beaches and swimming areas, six fishing lakes, picnic areas, playground, pickleball court, archery range, Alabama Wildlife Center, and horseback riding facilities.

ScoutWe stayed here for a few days. Grass is beautiful and mowed, facilities were about normal. The beach is nice and fishing was uneventful. Overall a super quiet place that is a true diamond in the rough. 18$ a night for full hookups. Picnic tables at the sites have wasps. BRING WASP SPRAY! ATT had zero service.
RangerMy 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.
