Gunter Hill's spacious campsites welcome pets throughout the park, with most sites positioned about 90 feet apart in wooded areas along the Alabama River. Kountry Air RV Park provides a dedicated fenced dog park where pets can exercise off-leash, while The Backyard RV Resort (formerly The Woods RV Park) features both a dog park and walking paths through wooded areas around the lake. Prairie Creek Campground offers pet-friendly sites with water views and concrete parking pads. Most campgrounds in the Prattville area maintain standard leash requirements, typically six feet or less, and request that owners clean up after their pets. Montgomery South RV Park includes a large fenced dog park at the north end with plenty of green space for walking dogs, though campers should be aware that rabbits are prevalent throughout the grounds. The park is ultra clean with staff who escort guests to their sites regardless of weather conditions.
Dog-friendly hiking opportunities exist around several Prattville-area campgrounds, with The Backyard RV Resort offering trails through woods where pets can observe local wildlife including cows and goats. Gunter Hill provides quiet paths for dog walking with peaceful water views. During summer months, pets should have access to shade and water, as Alabama temperatures frequently reach the 90s. Prairie Creek Campground features an abandoned section destroyed by a hurricane that now serves as an additional walking area for dogs. Most campgrounds provide water hookups at sites where pets can refill water bowls. Veterinary services are available in both Prattville and Montgomery, approximately 10-15 minutes from most campgrounds. Campers report feeling secure at The Backyard RV Resort with its hidden location and security cameras, making it comfortable for overnight stays with pets.

RangerThe park is quite with widely spaced sites. Most sites are about 90 feet apart. One section has FHU’s. Wooded area so satellite TV will be challenging in summer, but park is close to Montgomery so over-the-air stations are plentiful. Many sites are on the water and can fish from the bank. Park is about 10 miles from Prattville if shopping and restaurants are your thing.
LegendThis review is based on a short-term versus destination campground (CG). When we made reservations, we were told 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. 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. 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. We were led to pull through site A with FHUs. Getting to our site was a little narrow but very doable. The site was level and pleasantly spacious both at and between sites. The utilities are in the middle of the pad. We were able to position so we could get to both black tanks with a 10’ sewer hose. We got 2 bars on Verizon, and their WiFi was better than most CGs this size. Both Don and his wife came by at separate times to ensure we were settled in, to include asking if we needed propane. The CG is mainly full-timers that include a small community of retired military. They have dedicated sites for short-term stays. There were transient workers as we heard the familiar Cummings diesel start-ups in the wee hours of the morning. There is some road noise, but not bad. They have a nice dog park. As we travel through the area, we will place this CG on our return list.
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.
TravelerThe staff here is wonderful. They've helped us adjust to full time RV Life over that past 4 months. The residents here are very friendly as well.
They have a dog park at the front and a large field in the back door our dog to run and play. The pavilion is also great for getting out, even in rainy weather.
The pool is amazing. Plenty of chairs and umbrellas to rest and our kids love the slide.
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.
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.
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.
GuideHonestly, 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.
Prattville-area campgrounds sit along the Alabama River in the central part of the state, about 80 miles south of Birmingham. Campers find summer temperatures averaging 90-95°F from June through August, with milder spring and fall seasons ideal for outdoor activities. Camping options include riverside RV sites with concrete pads, tent-only areas, and sites with pull-through access for larger vehicles.
Kayaking on Alabama River: Access the water from several campgrounds with boat ramps. At Prairie Creek Campground, "We dropped our canoe in the water from the boat ramp to explore Woodruff Lake which was fantastic," notes Zachary K.
Visit Alabama Safari Park: Located just minutes from Montgomery South RV Park. "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.
Bird watching: Many waterfront sites offer opportunities to observe local wildlife. "We saw huge paddlefish jumping out of the water, many birds and deer on the nature trail," according to one Prairie Creek Campground visitor.
Explore historic Prattville: The downtown area features 19th century architecture and is within 15 minutes of most campgrounds. Campers at Kountry Air RV Park report receiving "a great rundown of the local area, including restaurant recommendations that looked really good."
Spacious waterfront sites: Most riverfront campgrounds feature well-spaced sites. At Gunter Hill, "The sites are nicely spaced out so even if there had been a lot of people there, it wouldn't have felt too crowded. Large old trees with beautiful Spanish moss provide plenty of shade in the sites."
Clean, accessible facilities: Many parks maintain well-kept bath facilities. One visitor to Prairie Creek noted, "Showers pressure was great! Restrooms were old(er), but clean!"
Level concrete pads: RV sites typically feature concrete parking areas. "Very long and level concrete pad" at Gunter Hill according to Rick G., while Montgomery South RV Park offers "great long level sites and easy on/off access from I-65."
Wildlife observation: Opportunities to view local animals are plentiful. The Backyard RV Resort (formerly The Woods RV Park) lets visitors "enjoy the watching the cows and dog herding the goats through the clearing."
Seasonal ant challenges: Summer months bring increased ant activity. One visitor to Prairie Creek Campground advised, "Be aware, we were there first week of October, happy camping," regarding the ant situation, while another noted "Bring prepared and you'll be fine."
Limited shade at some parks: Montgomery South RV Park offers convenience but "there's nothing special about this stop except the convenience and fantastic customer service." Another visitor mentioned that noise from the nearby interstate and train tracks might be noticeable.
Military presence: Maxwell-Gunter AFB FamCamp has specific protocols. "Relvery plays at 6:30 am, Star Spangled Banner at 5:00pm, and TAPS at 9pm, not offensively loud, kinda like it," notes Victoria G.
Water level variations: River access points may change with water conditions. At Camp Sherrye on the Coosa, "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."
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas. At Gunter Hill Campground, "For the kiddies there is also a sizable modern playground right next to the bathhouse," according to Richard A.
Walking trails: Many parks maintain flat, easy trails for all ages. One camper at Prairie Creek mentioned it was "pleasant to walk the dog around the campground with the added benefit of also being able to walk through the old abandoned campground that was destroyed by a hurricane."
Security considerations: Parents appreciate well-monitored facilities. At The Backyard RV Resort, visitors report feeling "safe here with the hidden location and security cameras," while Montgomery South features "24 hour security patrol on golf cart. Very safe and quite."
Weather planning: Summer visits require heat preparation. "During winter months, pets should have access to shade and water," suggests one camper, noting Alabama's hot temperatures require frequent water breaks for children and pets alike.
Hookup positioning: Check sewer connection placement before parking. At Prairie Creek Campground, one RVer noted "the sewer was a bit far from the parking pad. If you have a single black tank hose this may be an issue."
Water pressure awareness: Bring regulators for high-pressure systems. "Water pressure in campground is 80 psi" at Montgomery South RV Park according to one visitor.
Road access considerations: Some campgrounds have specific navigation recommendations. Kountry Air RV Park advises "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."
Pull-through availability: Many parks offer convenient pull-through sites. "All sites 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."
