Check the raceway schedule before you book."

TravelerGood place to stop overnight. Got a pull through site # 18 and didn’t have to disconnect. Sites have full hookups. Con is that the next morning I had small black ants streaming along my front & rear door frames. Be sure you spray or do something to keep them off your equipment.
ScoutNo power, no water, grasses, room for 2 or 3 campers, just a quiet place to rest for the night. Be sure to pick up what you bring. Leave no trash. Free. No need to call for reservation. Just be respectful.
ScoutThis immaculate campground/manufactured home seller is easy off I65 and easy back on. Has laundry, playground, dog park, showers, restrooms, tv lounge vending machines, wifi, AND FULLhookup. Enjoyed one night.
Would definitely stay again.
GuideStopped in late for an overnight on our way to Gulf Shores. Nice level concrete sites Seems secluded…for a non dispersed campground. The bathrooms however were terrible. One non -functional One over flowing and clogged One has a line as if you were at a rock concert with only porta johns.
Pretty sad for a $45 fee.
Hopefully they get that figured out and we can make it a regular stop when headed south
LegendWe stop here often and love how easy it is to get to from route 80 and not too far from I-65. There are two sections– Catoma Creek and Antioch Loop– both of which are very different. The Catoma Loop is full hook-up (50 and 30 amps) with a nice, level paved driveway and gravel patio. Sites in this loop have more space between campsites so you don’t feel like you are right on top of your neighbor. This loop is more open and less treed but there are a few shade trees. The waterfront sites are really nice with great views of the sunset. The only problem with this section is that it is more desirable and therefore more crowded. The Antioch Loop is the older more dilapidated section of the park. The roads are old concrete that are now full of potholes and loose gravel. The area is heavily treed so there is lots of shade but very little grass in between and around sites. Trees and shrubs have not been trimmed for a long time and overhang the roads and campsites. The sites are gravel with large gravel patios. Many of the sites are not level and have pretty bad slopes to them. Bathrooms are located towards the front of the section so pick your site accordingly if you want to be close to the restrooms. The bathhouse was extremely old and looked like it belonged in a state prison. The doors on the bathroom stalls where falling apart and I needed my shoulder to get out of the stall. This section is very unkept and old– definitely get a site in the Catoma Loop if you can. There is a boat launch, each loop has a playground, and group shelter. Dump stations are located in each loop. Garbage dumpsters are located near the entrance of the park so you either have to drive your garbage or take a fairly long walk. Check in is 4 and check out is 3 so make sure you don’t plan on coming very early as your site may be occupied until 3.
GuideThe park was beautiful and well maintained. The sites were big and the prices were low. The only downside was we couldn’t stay longer due to my wife’s allergies and it was too hot. We’ll visit it again during fall or spring when the temperatures allow us to in joy it more.
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.
TravelerGunter Hill is a great stopping point for our travels to Florida- easy access, nice sites
ScoutGood site, lots of room, site only 30 amps. Love this place. Come here often just to relax.

The area sits at approximately 240 feet elevation and features multiple waterfront camping locations along the Alabama River system and Lake Jordan. Most campgrounds maintain consistent cell service except during severe weather events.
Fishing opportunities: At Prairie Creek Campground, campers can catch various fish species in the Alabama River. "We saw huge paddlefish jumping out of the water, many birds and deer on the nature trail. Bring fishing poles," notes one visitor. The campground provides direct water access from many sites.
Historical exploration: Visit Fort Toulouse-Jackson Park Campground to explore preserved French and early American forts. A reviewer explained, "This is a National Historic Site with preserved/restored sites of historic French and early American forts from the 1700s-early 1800s." The park hosts frontier re-enactments throughout the year.
Wildlife viewing: Drive 25 minutes south to enjoy Alabama Safari Park near Hope Hull. "If you are trying to burn time with kids, the safari park is nearby and was a great way to burn some energy," recommends one camper at Montgomery South RV Park. The safari park provides a convenient activity during downtime or rainy weather.
Spacious waterfront sites: Many campers praise the generous sizing of sites at Gunter Hill, particularly those along the water. "Large sites, shaded, have sewer hookups, concrete pads, many on a beautiful lake," reports one reviewer. Another mentioned, "Very long and level concrete pad. Great Verizon signal and numerous free digital TV stations to choose from."
Privacy between campsites: Several parks maintain good spacing between sites. "The sites are nicely spaced out so even if there had been a lot of people there, it wouldn't have felt too crowded," writes a camper about Gunter Hill. "Large old trees with beautiful Spanish moss provide plenty of shade in the sites."
Well-maintained facilities: Cleanliness stands out at Kountry Air RV Park where one visitor noted, "The owners Gigi & her husband work hard to keep the gardens beautiful, the campground maintained & the pool is so clean & refreshing." The campground receives consistent praise for its upkeep and landscaping.
Pest management: Ants can be problematic at some locations, especially during warmer months. "We were there first week of October... trailer was invaded by a horde of little black ants," reported one Prairie Creek camper who suggested, "Jim the gate guy told us to put comet around tires." Several reviewers recommend bringing ant control products.
Seasonal considerations: Shoulder seasons offer quieter camping experiences. "When we pulled into Gunter Hill this time of year [November/December] we were surprised to see how empty the place was," noted one camper. Lower humidity and temperatures make fall and spring particularly comfortable for outdoor activities.
Road access concerns: Some campgrounds have specific route recommendations. At The Backyard RV Resort (formerly The Woods RV Park), visitors note its convenient location: "Convenient to the highway. Can hear it but not too bad." For Kountry Air RV Park, reservations staff advise "to only take exit 179 off I-65 and follow the GPS directions, as any other way will take you on narrow roads, including gravel roads."
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas. At Gunter Hill, "The site is right across from the bathroom/showers which are individual rather than community type layout, and they were clean and well maintained. For the kiddies there is also a sizable modern playground right next to the bathhouse."
Walking trails: Look for campgrounds with nature paths for children to explore. "Fishing, hiking and lots to do in nature," reports one camper about Gunter Hill. At Jackson Lake Towne of Spectre, families can enjoy unexpected encounters: "The baby goats were a fun little surprise!"
Security considerations: Families appreciate well-monitored campgrounds. At Capital City RV Park, campers note the "24 hour security patrol on golf cart. Very safe and quiet. Friendly staff. Speed limit enforced." This provides peace of mind for families with children.
Hookup positioning: Be prepared for varying utility layouts. At Gunter Hill, one camper noted, "We stayed overnight on site 35. It has full hookups, however the sewer was a bit far from the parking pad. If you have a single black tank hose this may be an issue."
Reservation timing: For premium waterfront spots, book well ahead. "Booked sites with friends months ago for a one night stay on the way to Columbus, MS. As such, we were able to book FHU sites along the water," shared a Gunter Hill camper, highlighting how early planning secured better locations.
Leveling requirements: Most sites require minimal leveling. At Montgomery South RV Park, "Leveling was minimal (fore/aft) with no need for blocks or boards." Similarly, at Kountry Air RV Park, "each site carefully leveled with gravel to make set up easy!"
