Best Tent Camping near Prattville, AL

Tent camping near Prattville gives Alabama campers several good options with different ground conditions. Prattville City Park Campground has flat, even terrain that makes tent setup easy, with bathrooms within short walking distance. The state park in the Prattville area keeps tent sites far enough apart for good privacy, with big trees providing shade and parking spots not far from where you'll pitch your tent. If you want to get away from other people, the National Forest sites around Prattville require short walks to reach but reward you with smooth ground that tents go up on easily. At Prattville Recreation Area, you'll find built tent pads that include hooks for hanging lanterns. You should book ahead, particularly when camping seasons get busy. Most tent campers come during spring and fall when temperatures are comfortable. Summer gets hot in this part of Alabama, so bring plenty of water and shade gear. Winter camping works too, just bring warmer gear. Each camping area has different things to do nearby like trails and fishing spots. All these camping areas sit close enough to town that you can grab ice, food or other supplies without a long drive. Some campgrounds might close during certain times of year, so check before you plan your trip.

    Gunter Hill

    Quiet in the Shoulder Season

    In New England it's challenging to find a campground that is open in late November/early December but that's certainly not the case in the south! Sometimes I experience the opposite problem, tons of people everywhere thanks to the warmer weather. However, when we pulled into Gunter Hill this time of year we were surprised to see how empty the place was. There were a few large RVs in the area but only one other tent camper like ourselves.

    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. The river also runs pretty close to some of the sites as well. Our site had a nice paved pull in as well as a gravel area with a large picnic table and fire ring. In addition there was a stand up grill available as well. On the other side of the concrete pull in was a nice flat spot for us to pitch our tent. Plenty of room for everything here. Water and electric hookups were easily accessible right in our site. The ground below the water spigot drains well and doesn't create a large mud puddle when you use it, a piece of campground engineering I have come to greatly appreciate. The site has a nice lantern/trash pole that includes a small shelf, great for all sorts of things!

    The bathrooms are nice and were all maintained. We didn't use the showers but the toilets and sinks were more than adequate for morning and evening necessities.

    The location is great, right outside of the city and perfectly placed for us to stop on our road trip from the national park sites in Tuskegee and heading to them in Selma.

    Despite being two females and the campground being relatively empty, we felt incredibly safe. I mention this because this is not always the case when we camp in southern states.

    Gunter Hill

    Clean and spacious

    The 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.

    Prairie Creek Campground

    Quiet, out of the way, and a charming place

    Wifi non-existent.

    sketchy phone service...we have verizon and had very limited coverage.

    great staff...very helpful.

    showers...pressure was great!  restrooms were old(er), but clean!

    Site was very level....ours had good shade...fair amount of space and many concrete pads (but not all).

    Some have raised issues about the ants...we did see ants, but ONLY on the tent walk in area...and there were places there that looked like the ants would have been a real issue.

    Chilton County Minooka Park

    Fine for big RV’s

    It’s more of an RV park than campground. There are spaces for tents, but they don’t have picnic tables. The trees are actually behind the sites. So, don’t think about a hammock. The bathrooms are clean, but there are no showers.

    Kountry Air RV Park

    Clean quiet campground

    We have stayed here many times when were on the road heading  out for the summer.  We had full hook up, a picnic table & there is a small clean restroom near the pool if needed along with a laundry room & place to sit inside if it's hot out.  They have DVD's and some books we trade them where were there. We only stay a night & stay hooked up to the truck. The owners Gigi & her husband work hard to keep the gardens beautiful, the campground maintained & the pool is so clean & refreshing.  You can get propane here. 

    We've stayed 3 different time & had a nice site towards the back with a garden on the side. 

    It's off the beaten path a little but well worth it.

    Wind Creek State Park Campground

    Fantastic

    Everything is perfect. Clean campsites with power and water and fire rings, near by bait store that sells a lot more than just bait. The park rangers and staff are here help and friendly. Restrooms and showers are spotless. The views are amazing.

    Lake Martin Recreation Area

    Needs Major Repairs

    I'm really disappointed in this recreation/campground area. This place should be a prestige Air Force campground but instead it looks like an old abandoned site. Restroom buildings are old, falling apart, and filled with garbage. Docks are a safety hazard and I wouldn't walk on them at all. Roads are in need of major repairs and sites are gravel and not level at all. Some sites you can't even tell they are camp sites. Boats and trailers stored and or parked here looks like they are abandoned. The Commander at Maxwell AFB should be embarrassed to even offer this place as a recreation area. Major funding should be appropiated to make this recreation area into a prestigious campground and recreational area that should be on such a beautiful lake. Glad I was just here as a stopover, I definitely don't recommend this place at all.

    Sherling Lake City Park

    Perfect for RV Camping

    This was a beautiful campground and very well taken care of. However, it was mostly set up for RVs and not for tent camping. Each site has plenty of space and a hookup. There are also central bathrooms and covered picnic benches that work well for groups. If you want to get out and do some hiking there are also trails around the park. Just remember it can get hot here in the summer so be prepared.

    Kountry Air RV Park

    Quiet and friendly!

    This little gem of a campground is kind of off the beaten path between Montgomery and Selma. The owners are very friendly and helpful and gave us a GREAT restaurant recommendation (Kimberleas - in old town Prattville) where we had OUTSTANDING meals! The campground is immaculate and very well maintained with each site carefully leveled with gravel to make set up easy! The sites are well placed and spread out so you don’t feel like you’re right on top of the campers next to you. Just a beautiful and bucolic setting and again, very very nice and helpful hosts! Highly recommended!
