Best Glamping near Opp, AL

A private, gated road leads to level, stamped concrete pads landscaped with red lava rock around 2 lakes with great fishing either on the water or newly renovated or rebuilt piers lighted for night fishing. They have, likely, the nicest shower rooms you'll encounter on the rv trail. A well equipped camp store has everything you need to get by and some things you didn't realize you need ( hello hammock seats that I had to drop $200 on). They have townhouse cabins and glamping yurts as well as a community center, pool, and laundry room. Full hookups and Wi-Fi. Sites not located on the waterfront are elevated so they still have a water view. Since buying this resort a few years ago, the new owners have poured their hearts and souls into updating this resort into a next level haven for the new generation of the rv lifestyle.

This is an older state park. We had a nice site that backed up to the lake. Only negatives were: the trash bin could have been closer (the exercise though was worth it) and the 'acorns' from the trees made for some loud bangs on the roof. Some nice trails for hiking.

We were in site 22 and next trip would like to try and get 2, 5 or 15

Park located in Opp, AL which was named for attorney Opp who brought the train hub to the town

Very nice staff! Go a little bit extra. Showed us to our spot snd even dusted the services for clean connections! Place was meticulously maintained. Nice visit will be my stop when going through Alabama.

We stopped here for one night on our way from Alabama to Florida and were pleasantly surprised how much we liked this part of southern Alabama and how nice the park was. After a long days drive it was a perfect place to take our dog for a walk to stretch our legs and settle in to a great campsite. The lake adjacent to our campsite made for a beautiful backdrop for our evening campfire. 

Turns out this 2,050-acre park is a hot spot for anglers which cruise the 1,000-acre Lake Jackson looking for hungry fish. The ranger told us the lake is stocked bass, bream, crappie and catfish and holds numerous tournaments. We really liked the setting of the campground with many sites being directly on the lake. Our gravel site was a long back-in right on the water and perfectly level for our RV. The park recently added primitive tent sites which offer more privacy and a nice setting away from RVs. Our campsite was set under large trees and we had nice privacy on one side by the other side had a neighbor pretty close. Luckily for us when we were there the park was not crowded and the lack of campers made for a quiet setting.  (Tip: Site #1 has a great view of the water and set off by itself and is probably the best in the park.) 

For a state park this differs from many in that it has lots of modern features. The 32 RV sites have electric, sewer, water and Wi-Fi and cable! You can even stay for a whole season, if you want. Prices vary widely depending on whether you want a primitive tent site, site on water, or off water. Additional fees of a reservation fee ($4), 3% resort fee, and 12% lodging tax are added to the cost and really add up.

Amenities include a large playground, swim beach, boat launch, laundry, and restrooms with showers. There are miles of hiking trails winding through the woods and a boardwalk that takes you over to trails on an island. You know you are in the south when the swim beach has a sign that says “Beware of alligators and snakes, Swim at your own risk.”

During our stay the park was hosting its annual “Scarecrows in the Park” function.  For this event, walking trails are lined with decorative scarecrows made by local individuals, businesses, organizations and school groups.  The scarecrows and scenes they depict are quite creative but some are a little creepy.

Overall, this is a good place to stay in southern Alabama if you are looking for a nice full hook-up site that is in a pretty setting. The price was on the high side because of all the added fees but it was the perfect location for us to stop on our route.

I’ll start out from the beginning of my experience in a nut shell. On the way to Florida from NE Alabama we experienced our first blow out. Sat on the interstate for 2 hours. Get to our first camp ground and can’t get to an open restaurant and there’s no stores with groceries due to panic buying during hurricane sally. Made do with meatless spaghetti. Woke up the next morning to the camp ground flooded and mostly evacuation. Pulled out of there and ended up staying at a hotel. On our way home we had a second blow out less than 30 minutes after getting on the road. My husband decides that we are going to find somewhere to stay and replace all tires before trying to continue home. I called the lovely folks at oaks family campground and they kindly took us in with no more than a 10 minute notice. They made a point to come speak to us while we set up. Didn’t worry us with payment and check in until we were settled. Gave us directions to the near by Walmart and tire stores. The grounds themselves are simply perfect. Not a piece of grass out of place. It is very quiet and off the main road but close enough to town. Clean well functioning amenities. The concrete pads and wide sites make for an easy set up for any level camper. 10/10 recommend this campground and would give it more stars if possible. Happy camping!

Sometimes you don’t want to leave a great review because then everyone will know how awesome your favorite place is; and then they’ll always be packed. This is one of those times. We love this park for the environment, location, upkeep, topography, the people and so on. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in this area, go here!

Very clean, quiet campground. The campsites were a little less private than we prefer, but if that’s not an issue for you, this is probably a great spot. Campsites #1 and #2 seemed to be the most secluded. Lovely little nature trail and a playground for the kids. Beautiful lake view right off our campsite.

Spent a wonderful few days here with the wife and kids (which are canine, btw). Well kept grounds, superb staff and a lot to do in the great outdoors. Several campsites on the lakefront with great views. And there's an island full of armadillos.

Beautiful, well kept park, shaded sites. Caught a awesome bass!

Nice park. There is still some tree down from storms. And there were tons of ant. We even pretreated around the site and at any part of the camper that touched the ground and we still got ants. They said they are an invasive species from Argentina and were going to be having a specialized treatment done for them. Hopefully that will rid the park of them. We still will go back.

It's a decent place. The staff was super nice! Very accommodating! For the price, almost $50 a night, it could have been allot better. The campground is decent, but the portion between the campground and lake needs a serious cutting! Kinda ruined it for us cause that! The wifi was OK, when it rained, it didn't exist. The bathrooms were decent, not nice, wasn't dirty but decent. I really think if the property were better maintained it'd been a better experience! No pool, there is a swimming area but it's a ways away!

Most sites are located on the lake and have short stairs down the lake. The sites have spaced out trees perfect for hammocks. The sun sets right over the lake. Each campsite was level which makes it easy to setup. Just beautiful! There is a small island with trails that you can walk to. We put up hammocks and the kids took a nice nap right next to the lake. Great time

This was one of the better parks on this trip. Most sites are on the water and with great views of the lake. We chose #2 which was great. Site 1 was a good ways away, behind us so to speak, and to our door side was a good expanse of trees & brush. Site #3 was barely visible. There are about 8 sites on the hill away from the water, close together and seem nice for the largest of rigs. Our tablet & phones both showed available park wifi but it was very intermittent and not reliable. We used ATT & Verizon which both worked fine. Easy drive on good roads. Would definetly return.

Arrived at guard gate and was welcomed by friendly staff. Quiet campground with waterfront site 8. Plenty of space between sites. FHU, level gravel, waterfront site with picnic table, fire ring, and grill. Felt safe, and across the street from bathrooms/laundry. Dated but clean. Woman’s bathroom with showers & bathroom stalls. 2 washers & dryers, as well as a folding table. No dog park, but plenty of nature, paved roads for walking, as well as easy to find, marked trails. 10 minutes to town, with restaurants and a few stores to pick up groceries & necessities. Playground is on the other side of the trails, as well as the boat ramp. Lots of wildlife. Would stay here again!

This place is close to my house, I enjoy camping here and also renting their trailers. Plenty of beautiful nature to enjoy, the lake is beautiful, very clean and well-kept oh, a playground for the littles overlooking the lake, walking trails, fishing, never had a negative experience.

Nice small camp ground only about 25 sites most are directly on the lake.... full hook ups and has a bathhouse and a laundry room. There’s a playground close by and some walking trails....we enjoy it and will go back.

We love this campground. It has level sites, full hookups, cable television, internet and most sites have a view of the water.

Walking trails, playground and clean facilities are all available.

Great picnic area for guests, reunions and more. I used to camp here every year with my family.

Just spent one night but the lake and the walks and the boardwalks are beautiful. Staff was very kind and helpful, gave us a great site ( he could tell we were from far away). Other campers were very friendly, alligators not around. We loved it, and so did our dog!

Nice level concrete pads. Space between sites. Friendly people. Nice playground. Rustic pond with ducks. But, No shade at most sites. Nothing really to do except the playground. Right next to a junkyard. WiFi was overwhelmed and unusable.

This place has a list of issues. For beginners they list they have leveled pads and let me just tell you the are FAR from that. People drive through the campsite all night long doing 30-40 MPH! They have a barn and every night people are over there partying being loud not caring about the people that actually have work the next morning. The washers and dryer’s absolutely suck you have to dry your cloths 4 times for them to be dry!!! I could go on for hours about the terrible experience I had here!

I’ll start out with the PROS. Good service for AT&T and Verizon (3-4) bars. Lots are spaced out, you’re not on top of people.

THE CONS The staff here are very rude! WAY over priced for the area, Unlevel pads, wifi doesn’t connect to my computer nor phone. Sewer pipe doesn’t have threads so I was forced to go out and buy an adapter for it. Also for everyone traveling with your pets. As stated (For your dog to be here is a Privilege)

My opinion doesn’t matter but I’ll refer everyone to go to Cypress landing Rv park instead

We had a great experience camping here! We’re seasoned tent campers but just bought our first RV and had a ton of questions 😂. Robbie was so helpful and knowledgeable, he made our stay super easy and shared all kinds of helpful tips. Friendly staff and neighbors!

The campground is very clean, neat and tidy. It’s very clear the maintenance of the grounds is never let go. The concrete pads are level and have plenty of maneuvering space around them(helpful especially if you’re new). The bathhouse has 4 large private bathrooms with showers, toilets, sink and an oversized bench for your stuff. The pavilion has grills, a tv and a massive brick fireplace. The pond is very peaceful and makes for a great spot to watch the sunrise. It’s also full of fish for you to catch and there’s a designated fish cleaning station by the bath houses! There’s also a fenced in miniature dog park! There’s a cell tower nearby so service is great and our HDTV antenna picked up crystal clear. The park is easily accessible from the highway and clearly marked. The gravel road in the campground is tidy, solid and well maintained like the rest of the park.

We’ll be back again very soon!

We have camped at this campground a couple times and each time we've loved it. The campground is nice and neat and clean, the playground is awesome it has a zipline and it will hold grown-ups we like to play on, it is very well kept, the owners are very helpful and accommodating, will definitely return again. And it's right on the outskirts of town making it convenient if you forgot something at home to run to town and get. This is a new campground Andres I said we absolutely love it
