What to do
Visit nearby wildlife attractions: The Alabama Safari Park is just minutes from Montgomery South RV Park, making it a popular activity for campers. "If you are trying to burn time with kids, the safari park is nearby and was a great way to burn some energy," notes one visitor. The park offers drive-through animal encounters where visitors can feed various exotic species.
Explore historic downtown Prattville: Just 14 miles from Montgomery, this charming area offers restaurants and shopping near Kountry Air RV Park. "We received a great rundown of the local area, including restaurant suggestions that looked really good. Unfortunately, we were only overnighting here and did not have the chance to enjoy Prattville," shares a recent camper. The historic downtown features 19th-century architecture and local boutiques.
Fish in on-site ponds: Many rv parks near Montgomery, Alabama feature fishing opportunities. "There is a small pond that you can fish in or if no one is fishing and you have a dog that loves water, they can go for a swim," mentions a guest at Deer Run RV Park. These catch-and-release ponds typically don't require licenses but check with camp hosts for specific rules.
What campers like
Friendly staff and personal service: Reviewers consistently highlight exceptional service at Montgomery area campgrounds. "They escorted us to the parking spot and waited outside to make sure we had everything in order before heading out! Very nice people and good location for late night arrival," shares a guest at Montgomery South RV Park. Another camper notes that at Kountry Air RV Park, "both Don and his wife came by at separate times to ensure we were settled in, to include asking if we needed propane."
Level sites with concrete patios: Many campsites near Montgomery feature well-maintained, level sites. "Our check-in person was concerned we might not like pulling through site 19. He was correct, as this site was too short and had an incline at the unhitch point. We proceeded to the newer area, where we were given the choice of pull-through sites 97 & 98, which were both FHUs and flat," explains a visitor to Deer Run RV Park.
Pet amenities: RV sites around Montgomery often include dedicated pet areas. "There is a nice dog park. As we travel through the area, we will place this CG on our return list," notes a camper at Kountry Air RV Park. Many parks provide fenced areas where dogs can run off-leash and designated walking paths.
What you should know
Interstate noise varies by location: Highway noise can be significant at some campgrounds. "The only thing that dropped a star was the sounds from the highway was absolutely overwhelming. It was so loud we had a hard night sleeping," reports a Deer Run RV Park visitor. Request sites furthest from highways when possible.
Water pressure considerations: Several parks have notably high water pressure. "We got 3 bars on Verizon and used our MifI for what little internet we needed. We tried but could not connect to the CG's WiFi. They have very good water pressure, so we used a reducer," mentions a camper at Deer Run RV Park. Bringing a pressure regulator is recommended.
WiFi quality differs between parks: Internet connectivity varies significantly. At The Backyard RV Resort, one camper noted, "Our AT&T had 5 bars and streamed videos with no problem. Verizon had 4 bars as well." However, other parks may have limited connectivity, particularly during peak usage times.
Tips for camping with families
Seek out parks with playground facilities: Several RV parks offer dedicated play areas for children. "There is a playground for kids," mentions a camper at Wind Creek Atmore Casino RV Park. These areas typically include swings, slides and climbing equipment suitable for various age groups.
Look for parks with pools during summer: Swimming pools provide relief from Alabama's summer heat. "There was a shower room, restrooms, laundry facilities available and all were clean. A huge beautiful pool and a children's pool, all were kept up nicely," shares a visitor to Auburn RV Park at Leisure Time Campground. Most pools operate seasonally from May through September.
Consider cabin options for mixed groups: Some families prefer a mix of RV and cabin accommodations. Montgomery South RV Park offers both options, making it suitable for extended family gatherings with different camping preferences. The park's layout allows groups to reserve adjacent sites for socializing while maintaining separate sleeping quarters.
Tips from RVers
Arrive before dark when possible: Many parks offer escort service to sites, which is more difficult after sunset. "We drove the 14 miles from the exit to the CG with no issues. We were greeted by Don on his golf cart, and his wife, Gigi, checked us in at the office," explains a Kountry Air RV Park visitor. Daylight arrival also makes hookup and leveling easier.
Be aware of seasonal differences: Summer months bring higher temperatures and humidity. "We were there in late February so it was ok. Would be hot in summer," notes a Wind Creek Atmore Casino RV Park guest. Spring and fall offer more moderate conditions for outdoor activities.
Consider site location for overnight stays: For single-night stays, request sites away from permanent residents. "This CG is a good short-stay option," mentions a Deer Run RV Park visitor. "There was no formal dog park, but plenty of areas to walk your dog. This is an older park with many permanent and seasonal residents. We were impressed that, for the most part, there was not that 'trailer trash' look, and the residents were friendly."
