Gunter Hill Campground provides spacious pet-friendly sites in two distinct loops near Montgomery. The Catoma Loop offers concrete pads with full hookups, while the Antioch Loop features more rustic gravel sites with water and electric connections amid abundant shade trees. Both areas welcome pets with standard leash requirements. The Backyard RV Resort (formerly The Woods RV Park) includes a fenced dog park for off-leash play, making it popular with traveling pet owners. Capital City RV Park maintains a large fenced area for dogs with concrete patios at each campsite. Most campgrounds in the region permit pets at no additional charge but expect owners to clean up after their animals and keep them leashed when outside designated exercise areas. Maxwell-Gunter AFB FamCamp features a spacious dog park created from a converted softball field.
Pet exercise opportunities abound throughout Montgomery's surrounding campgrounds. Jackson Lake Towne of Spectre welcomes campers with pets and even features resident baby goats that occasionally visit campsites. Several campgrounds offer paved roads ideal for dog walking, with Gunter Hill providing access to hiking trails and water recreation. Montgomery's camping options generally maintain pet-friendly policies year-round, with most sites available regardless of season. Summer heat requires special consideration for pets, with shaded campsites particularly valuable during warmer months. The prevalence of Spanish moss at Gunter Hill creates a distinctive atmosphere for pet walks. Campers report feeling safe and secure at these pet-friendly locations, with many parks featuring regular security patrols that monitor the grounds while ensuring leash rules are followed.

Restrooms/showers were ok. Could use some TLC."

LegendGood, level spots. Well-spaced but not private.
About 50% full on the night we stayed and lots of really nice camping rigs. Saw no tents except ours (roof top tent).
Dollar General near the entrance and only about 20 minutes from Montgomery.
Couple of nice playgrounds for kids to run off energy.
Restrooms/showers were ok. Could use some TLC.
Definitely would stay here again. Not sure I would for a whole week though.
GuideWe stayed in spot 36. We we're very close to the water with a little cutout to walk down to the water. Bathrooms were clean but had no AC, they we're fairly close to the site. Pull through site was easy to park but required side to side leveling. Verizon cell service was okay, bounced between 1-2 bars with 10-20 mbps. Quite a drive from Montgomery but well worth it for the morning views out over the water. Just a warning that the ants were crazy! We're still cleaning them out of our camper.
TravelerWe 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.
ScoutReservations made yhe night before online. The campground has not changed nanes yet but will be known as Unhitched Montgomery. Some short time stays and a bunch of long term stays. Clean bathhouse and great outdoor gathering areas, really like "the hangout" area. Pet friendly. Laundry available. It seems secluded but there are a lot of conveniences nearby. People at front desk were very friendly. Easy pull through sites. Highly recommend.
LegendThis is another one of the U.S. Military Campgrounds (similar to the Maxwell/Gunter AFB one in Montgomery) and similarly, it caters primarily to RVs. There are a few tent sites available but they aren't very nice or well maintained. The whole campground is a bit run down and in need of attention and updating.
There is a boat launch and beach area. However, I wouldn't recommend spending much time in the beach area due to the large amount of garbage and pet waste. Oddly, dogs are allowed within the park but only if you are camping in a camper or RV. Dogs are not allowed in the tent camping area which I find odd.
We stayed here while visiting family in the area and I wouldn't stay here again. There isn't much to do unless you have a boat so you would be better off finding a different place to spend your time.
RangerUltra 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
LegendThis 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.
GuideGreat 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.
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.
Montgomery area campgrounds provide diverse sites for RVs and tent campers within central Alabama's coastal plains. The region sits at approximately 240 feet above sea level with mild winters that extend the camping season compared to more northern locations. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F from June through September, making shade and water access important considerations.
Water recreation at Gunter Hill: The campground sits along the Alabama River with fishing access and boat launches. "We stayed overnight on site 35. It has full hookups, however the sewer was a bit far from the paring pad. If you have a single black tank hose this may be an issue," notes Richard A. about Gunter Hill.
Visit the dog park: The Backyard RV Resort features a dedicated area for dogs to play off-leash. "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," reports Stephanie about The Backyard RV Resort.
Enjoy family recreation: Camp Sherrye offers multiple activities. "They boast a kayak launch, but I'm assuming the river may have washed it out a bit… We wouldn't use it due to the rocky drop off at the end. They have a large dog run, but it is connected to the playground," explains Brittany V. about her experience at Camp Sherrye.
Concrete pads and site spacing: Gunter Hill's renovated sites offer stability for all equipment. "We had a nice stay in site 67. The campground was renovated sometime in the not too distant past with large concrete pads, as well as water and electrical hook ups. Many sites have full hook ups, all at a reasonable price," writes Ian D.
Reliable utilities and amenities: Montgomery South RV Park maintains clean facilities and helpful staff. "Staff is wonderful, campstore is well stocked. Sites are all full hookup pull through. Restrooms smelled like Men's showerhouses and laundry facility was dirty," notes Brandie B., offering a balanced perspective.
Security features: Many campgrounds offer security measures that campers appreciate. "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," shares Denise about The Backyard RV Resort.
Military base rules apply: Maxwell-Gunter AFB FamCamp operates differently than public campgrounds. "Relvery plays at 6:30 am, Star Spangled Banner at 5:00pm, and TAPS at 9pm, not offensively loud, kinda like it," explains Victoria G. about the daily bugle calls.
Seasonal considerations: Winter camping offers particular advantages in the Montgomery area. "In New England it's challenging to find a campground that is open in late November/early December but that's certainly not the case in the south! Sometimes I experience the opposite problem, tons of people everywhere thanks to the warmer weather," notes Sarah C.
Wildlife encounters: Some campgrounds feature animal residents. "The host is so welcoming! Clean restrooms. The baby goats were a fun little surprise!" writes Jena S. about her stay at Jackson Lake Towne of Spectre.
Entertainment options: Kick Back Ranch offers numerous activities included with your stay. "Nestled back in the woods this hidden gem is a find! Very clean, friendly staff, tons of free activities with stay, and fun for the entire family!" reports Adam T.
Safari experiences: The Alabama Safari Park is located near some campgrounds. "Tip for travelers with kids: If you are trying to burn time with kids, the safari park is nearby and was a great way to burn some energy," suggests Kristen M. about activities near Montgomery South RV Park.
Multi-generational gatherings: Some locations accommodate family reunions well. "We stayed at Kickback Ranch over the Christmas holiday, and it was the perfect setup for our family. I reserved an RV site for my teardrop camper—it was peaceful, quiet, and had everything I needed to unwind. I also booked a few cabins for the rest of the family," explains Pete G.
Hookup positions: Site layouts vary between campgrounds. "The sewer was a bit far from the paring pad. If you have a single black tank hose this may be an issue," warns Richard A. about Gunter Hill.
Internet reliability: Connectivity varies significantly between parks. "Strong wifi signal. The entire staff was extremely courteous and very helpful," reports Tim G. about his stay at Kick Back Ranch.
Pull-through site availability: Capital City RV Park offers convenient access. "Spaces are a little tight, but had our own patio and typical campground layout. Lots of long timers. Hosts/Owners were really nice and accommodating," notes Gordon D. about the spaces.
