    Chewacla State Park Campground offers pet-friendly sites with full hookups and level terrain for tent camping, RVs, and cabin stays. Located near Auburn, this 696-acre park accommodates pets at all campsites and along most trails with standard leash requirements. Bar-W RV Park and Auburn RV Park at Leisure Time provide alternative pet-friendly camping options with spacious sites where dogs can enjoy the outdoors. Whippoorwill Vineyards, though primarily a winery, occasionally permits overnight camping with pets in their parking area. Eagle Landing RV Park maintains clean pet-friendly facilities, though campers note the sites are positioned relatively close together.

    Dog-friendly hiking trails throughout Chewacla State Park include paths leading to the waterfall and lake, where pets can cool off during summer months. The park's WiFi connection remains strong even in back loop sites, allowing campers to research nearby pet services if needed. Weather considerations are important for pets, as summer temperatures in this region of Alabama can reach uncomfortable levels. Park bathrooms and shower facilities stay clean and accessible for campers returning from trail explorations with their dogs. Some sites experience ant issues during warmer months, so pet owners should inspect camping areas carefully before setting up and keep pet food secured in containers.

      The Backyard RV Resort

      Home away from home

      We 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.

      Camp David RV Resort

      Work in progress

      Great location if you are visiting FT. Benning. Not quite a “resort” yet, but maybe soon. They are under construction, but most spots were full. Felt more like tailgating than camping. Beautiful paved path leading to dog park, playground, golf course and river walk. Recommend screen shelter as there is no shade and it can get hot and buggy. Also, wear closed toe or muck boots as there are large stones and broken glass imbedded in all the sites. Clean port a potty. Do your shopping before hitting the site as the area right around it is very economically depressed. We had a great week long visit with our soldier before he moved on to his next assignment.

      Montgomery South RV Park

      Great little campground off I-65

      Ultra 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

      Maxwell-Gunter AFB FamCamp

      RV Friendly, not so much for tents

      This 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.

      Maxwell-Gunter AFB FamCamp

      Lovely

      Great 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.

      The Backyard RV Resort

      Pretty Setting!

      Honestly, wasn't sure when we first turned in the driveway.  However, very happy with the park!  We were lucky enough to score a site on the water.  Spots are level and decent sized.  Booking was a breeze, staff was very friendly.  We didn't use the bathrooms or laundry room but they look very clean and recently updated.  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.

      Lake Pines RV Park & Campground

      A little hidden beauty

      It’s been raining the whole weekend. Even so, this campground is a beautiful place. The only problems we have had: 1: buildings are not marked. It was hard to determine what was a private cabin vs bath house. 2: (this is a fellow camper issue not campground) someone with a large dog was just letting it run amuck! That is what ruins “pet friendly “ places. Lease your babies!!!
      Like I said, this place is a beautiful campground. Definitely deserves a repeat visit!
