Stopped for an overnight on our way home to Atlanta from a trip out west. Not much of a park. Most sites are long term or semi permanent. Only 6 available for regular RV. Water, 30/50 amp electric & sewer There is a small laundry room The office wasn’t open but we had reservations and had received an email about our site and directions. WiFi was poor. It is right off of I-20 so there was lots of road noise all night. There was a very bright vapor light above our site that lit up the whole area. There is a small dog walking area.
Guide
Small well appointed museum to see. Information panels at the important mounds. Since we visited last year some improvements have been made to the camp sites. Level sites. 4 pull through with full hook ups for bigger rigs. This is a small campground, all sites have water and electricity with dump site as you leave camping area. Also much needed improvements to bath house.
GuideNice open sites and easy to access your site. Basically an RV park. All very big class A motor homes. No public bathrooms just a couple construction potties. Full hookups on most sites so it’s very doable for a couple of nights
Legend
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.
GuideMost of the pads were filled with long-term residents. The owners were very nice. The rate was reasonable. Our gravel pad was not wide enough to be a) level and b) slide/awning out at the same time. The electric hook-up was at the opposite end of the pad from the water and sewer hook-ups. Some neighbors were friendly, others were a bit suspicious of us as interlopers based on how many times they walked past our area. Overall, would only stay again in a pinch.
Ranger
Very nice RV park next to the casino. Easy access off the Interstate. Concrete pads with full hookups, dog run, small bath house and playground for the kids
RangerThis is a casino RV park and looks to by new. Pads are hard surfaced and spaced far apart. Grounds well kept and full hookups available. Walking distance to casino and they offer a shuttle.

This campground is set up mostly for people who either want a long term space for their RV or to stay in a yurt for a couple of nights. The whole place is set up to have easy access to the water and it does this really well. There are multiple docks and plenty of spaces to tie up your boat. Additionally, the lake is really enormous so you can be out on the water all day. Don't expect a lot of privacy or space when staying here but it is perfect if you want a long term place to stay and access the water without having to pay the high prices for a house in the nearby area.
ScoutThis is a great campground that has ONLY long term camping so you really get to know your neighbors. The power is not included but the prices are very reasonable.
Our lot is spacious, gravel pad with a cement patio.
Scout
Great people Always willing to help, loves our long term stay here. Mr. Gerald, Mr. Teddy & Mr. Scott are always more than willing to work with you & help in any way. Loves everything about this place. Family friendly, atv park.
Guide
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.
Guide
Flat paved spot to park RV for home base while fishing/boating. No bath house, Full hook-up's though. Functions perfectly. Restaurant at marina and marina/store great. Staff courteous and helpful. Will be here again when fishing and boating.
Traveler
The view is fantastic if you are lakeside- but it stops there. Most rentals are along one row and a couple of the lakeside sites. Sites are very unleveled with minimal gravel but almost all have a 6x9 concrete pad. No pool, no fire rings, spotty wifi and frequent brown outs on power. Both shower points smell horrible but appear clean otherwise. Lots of long-term vehicles. People are friendly and pets are welcome.
Legend
Overall, this is a very nice and convenient campground. We really enjoyed the beach area and the trails. Lots of mountain bikers throughout the weekend. It did have shower houses but we did not use any because we lucked out and got a full hook up site I will say most of the sites are not level, I have some broken concrete and need some TLC. We stayed in the B loop and loves the proximity to the playground and beach. Seems like there could have been numerous full-time residents staying in Loop A.
ScoutThis is a very nice place for an overnight stay. If your looking for amenities, this is not the place for you. Clean, nice management, easy in and out. I will stay here again. Full hook ups, including water sewer, electric and cable for $29/a night. No complaints here! Just off the interstate, I feel safe here! If you need a bath house close, again, probably not the place for you. Because it's across the highway. Close to everything in Tuscaloosa. No 5 stars because it sufficient for camping, not much more! Which is what we do!

We have stayed here many times when were on the road heading out for the summer. We had full hook up, a picnic table & there is a small clean restroom near the pool if needed along with a laundry room & place to sit inside if it's hot out. They have DVD's and some books we trade them where were there. We only stay a night & stay hooked up to the truck. The owners Gigi & her husband work hard to keep the gardens beautiful, the campground maintained & the pool is so clean & refreshing. You can get propane here.
We've stayed 3 different time & had a nice site towards the back with a garden on the side.
It's off the beaten path a little but well worth it.

RangerOak Mountain State Park has a great campground. Our site was A5 and was a full hook-up, pull-through site. A5 was not the greatest site in the campground, but it was still good. The sites are spaced well apart and all are shaded. The state park has a golf course, stables, 2 beaches, kayak/canoe rentals, bike lane through the park, and lots of trails.
We liked our experience so much that we stayed there on the way home!
LegendWe stayed at Sunset West, which is the same RV park, but just about 5 minutes down the road. Amenities were only available at the east location. This included a small office, laundromat, and shower room. We had site 57, which was a level blacktop site that had sewer, water, cable and electricity. Dumpster located on site for trash. Loud traffic noise. But, with all that, it was 45.33 with tax.

Payne Lake East is primitive camping that costs $6 dollars a night. From here you can access the amenities on the west shore. We are here in mid February and all but one of the full hook up sites on the west side are occupied. However, on the east side there is only one other camper. The lake is very pretty and has an area for swimming and a boat launch. On the east side the water is shut off this time of year, but it is available at the dump station. The east side offers a pit toilet, picnic tables and lantern post at each site. Apparently there are alligators here, but they are seldom seen this time of year per the campground host. Two to Three bars of Verizon 4G LTE

Great campground for overnight stay. 30/50 amp hook-up Water Sewer Concrete pads Playground Separate picnic area Easy back-in spots 10 available (first come, first served) no reservations
We came in late & paid in the AM at Peach Park Express $35 for overnight stay.
From I65S, take exit 205, turn left off ramp, turn left onto Bradberry Lane (between Whataburger & Peach Park), RV park on right by lighthouse (no signs).
ScoutVery well maintained RV park. Store and gas station on site
Guide
Safe Harbor RV Park was convenient and perfect for an overnight stay. Spaces are long and level. No extras, no picnic tables, no shower houses, however everyone was friendly, and we had no issues with the water/sewer/electric. Wifi and internet weren't great, but we were tired and not interested in watching TV anyway. Some road noise but it didn't keep us awake. Seems to be lots and lots of permanent residents there and just a few travelers coming and going. We'd stay here again if we're passing through. The owner at check-in recommended The Ark restaurant to us, which is within walking distance. We ate there and it was delicious. We appreciated the recommendation.
Traveler
Very well laid out, clean, and cool RV park. Easy access to highway, very spacious and new bathrooms and showers. Very much enjoyed our stay.
Traveler
When we arrived the grass was very tall. They did mow today. Just not my site as we were occupying it. It has full hook ups. Not very much shade. My site has none. The bathrooms are dirty. The pool is a nice size. It could use a vacuum. There is a decent size jungle gym at the playground. My 8 year old son has been having a great time playing with other kids there. There is a nice sized fenced in dog park. There is a swing to sit on. However, it’s all busted up and not usable. There is a nice sized pond. I haven’t been to it yet. There is supposed to be wifi. I don’t see the network when searching for it. We have our own hotspot. It runs on the t mobile network. Except, we don’t have a signal here. I haven’t met anyone who runs this place. Honestly if my son wasn’t having as much fun playing on the playground we would’ve left after the first night. We booked 3 nights as to break up our drive. I definitely wouldn’t stay here again.
GuideThe grounds are well maintained and the staff is on top of things. Great location on the lake, close to everything. So close you don’t even need to leave the RV park to see the frequent fireworks or the huge pelican gatherings.
LegendVery large park with lots to do within the park including golf, archery, several lakes, and hiking. We had hoped to hike to Peavine Falls, but since we arrived on the first day after Daylight Savings, we ran out of daylight and needed to get an early start the next day. As with other parks we have been in this fall, the lake was closed for swimming for the season.
The campground is more than five miles from the entrance to the park and is quite large. It was surprisingly crowded for the first Sunday in November. We did not have reservations but were able to secure an electric site (a frost warning was in effect, so we wanted to be able to use our heater). We could have had our pick of tent (no hookup) sites. Many of the sites had the feel of an RV park. There was no privacy/separation between the sites and the sites vary significantly in size and quality. Some are pull-through, some are paved, some are gravel. Site 9 was level but not all of them were. Each site had a very large picnic table and fire ring. Check-in is at a small store that has some basic supplies but you are within 20 miles of Birmingham and the surrounding suburbs so you can easily stock up on groceries and other needed supplies before arriving.
The bathrooms and showers were a little worn but serviceable. It was appreciated that they were heated.
What is it about trains and campgrounds? As soon as we settled in for the night, we started hearing the very loud trains throughout the night and into the next morning!
An ok campground but unless we were going to take advantage of some of the activities available, we probably would not camp here again.
ScoutThis wasn’t our first visit to Birmingham South RV Park in Pelham, AL but it will almost assuredly be our last! I wish I could give this visit ZERO stars. On a previous visit, the campsite host/manager knocked on our door and asked our son to move his car, despite the fact his car was properly parked on our site and not obstructing the lane. They have no less than 3 sets of speed bumps at the entrance to the park. I dislike speed bumps in a parking lot, and I definitely am not a fan of them in RV parks. Who wants to traverse those in a HD truck with a heavy camper?? If you are concerned about speeding, put up a gate at the entrance. The attached photos of the concrete in disrepair at our site speak for themselves, and the photo of the grass may not look like much, but conceal a dangerous hole I rolled my ankle in. As if that were not enough, we were finishing up breakfast with our son who was visiting locally and at 10:58AM and then again at 11:06 I get a phone call from the park office reminding me check out is at 11AM and asking if I wanted to extend my stay. Look, I get that check out times are there for a reason, but we already were mostly packed up, had all our water lines disconnected and just had the electric connected to keep our dog safe in the heat. It isn’t like this is a hotel room you have to clean and turn over for the next guest. It is a beat-up and(in this case) crumbling piece of pavement. So rude and pushy. Never again…
