    QUIET AND PEACEFUL

    Driving up to this campground, I almost turned around. But, getting here, I am so glad we didn't! Our site, #34 on the Catoma side, was perfectly level, easy to back in, and a lot of personal space between campers. The view is amazing! The water is right behind us! We have full hookups here, which makes it so easy. There is a small playground area for the kids and a bath house within walking distance.

    Not what we hoped for

    We stayed in the Antioch loop on site 93. The site was super close to 92 and 94. We felt we had no personal space. A couple kept walking through our campsite to get to a boat they had parked at our site. I love rustic but Antioch was not rustic, it was over grown and did not look maintained. We think they are letting the Antioch loop go. If that something you like, over grown and close, Antioch loop is for you. We do plan to come back and will try out the Catoma Loop. Catoma Loop looks more like what we enjoy; spaced out, maintained and welcoming.

    Great Little Campground

    I stayed here for 8 weeks while travel nursing at a local hospital. I had previously moved from another campground I did not feel safe at. Boy was this place a breath of fresh air! The staff was very nice and accommodating! They patrolled the grounds on golf carts frequently. There are only two single serve bathrooms with showers on site, but they were well maintained and also had heat lamps for the wintertime. The laundry room was small with only two slightly dated washers and dryers, but they got the job done. You just had to time it to get in the queue. Each site had a picnic table, but sadly not all of them had fire pit rings. Mine was one that did not. All of the sites were gravel paved, but they were very level. The staff works hard to upkeep the sites by delivering fresh gravel to sites with a tractor when campers leave. The staff was very kind to come by and warn us when we were expecting freezing temps to help prevent our pipes from freezing. They even carried my trash bag up to the dumpster once on their golf cart so I wouldn’t have to! My biggest complaint here was the spotty WiFi, but that’s to be expected at most parks. This park is right up the street from Alabama Safari Park, and there are a few restaurants up the road near the interstate. Overall, I highly recommend this park! Loved staying here, and would definitely return again! It’s a quick hop on the interstate to get to Montgomery or Prattville.

    Nice sites but noisy on race days

    Stayed in the Antioch Loop (older section). The sites are a nice size with gravel. Water and electric. Lots of trees and shade. Nice playground and air conditioned shower house. Saw laundry was available but didn’t use. Lots of Spanish moss. The downside, Saturday night race nearby was really loud. I wasn’t terribly bothered but some people might be. Check the raceway schedule before you book.

    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

    Overnight stay

    We just stayed here overnight on our way to Destin, Fl. I liked this campground our site was very spacious. It had a concrete pad a graveled area too. Each site had a picnic table, a grill and a fire pit. The bathrooms were very clean. The showers were individual small rooms on the end of the bath houses. The water was hot in the showers. I did not notice any bugs or cobwebs in the bathrooms.

    Overnight at Gunter Hill Cmpgrd

    We stayed overnight on site 35. It has full hookups , however the sewer was a bit far from the paring pad. If you have a single black tank hose this may be N issue. However, seeing as we only stayed 1 night I did not plan on hooking up anyway. 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. The park attendant at the entrance was very pleasant and my pass was ready and available in the rack outside the check-in station which made it extremely easy. It was a Thursday night following 4th of July and there were several others there but only a small number of other campers. Reservations can be made online at recreation.gov

    Can't beat the space!

    Love Gunter Hill! ❤️. Wide open and spacious lots here have us spoiled. Clean bathhouse and laundry plus on site boat ramp to the river make it one of our favorite places. Walking trails are great too!

The drive-through wildlife experience is approximately 10 minutes from the campground.

Fishing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds offer fishing access with boat launches. "Great fishing, great sites," mentions Charles K. about Millers Ferry Campground. Most waterfront campgrounds maintain boat ramps that accommodate vessels up to 20 feet in length.

What campers like

Spacious sites with shade: Gunter Hill receives consistent praise for its site layout. "Spacious sites with nice peaceful view! Good price and pet friendly!" reports Vera V. The campground features large sites with concrete pads that maintain their wooded character. Ian D. notes, "It seems like they were able to retain all the trees when they put the pads in, which retains the wooded feel of the campground."

Individual bathroom facilities: Several campgrounds offer private bathroom layouts rather than communal facilities. "The bathrooms were large but could have been better maintained," notes one camper at Gunter Hill. At Kountry Air RV Park, "There are only two single serve bathrooms with showers on site, but they were well maintained and also had heat lamps for the wintertime," according to Stephanie G.

Yurt accommodations: For travelers seeking yurt camping near Selma, Alabama, Chickasaw State Park offers yurt rentals that combine tent-like ambiance with more substantial shelter. Though small, the park provides access to Wilcox County Wildlife Management Area directly across the road for hiking and wildlife observation.

What you should know

Limited facilities at some parks: Chickasaw State Park has restricted amenities. "It only has 3 RV sites and typically offers water and electricity only," warns Dan M. The park sometimes experiences maintenance issues: "Bathrooms were closed for the season and the water is off due to a leak."

Distance from conveniences: Most campgrounds require driving for supplies. At Kountry Air RV Park, "You'll need to drive 14 miles from the exit to the CG," according to MickandKarla W. For Millers Ferry, L&A C. notes "Shopping in town about 15-20 minutes away. Several good restaurants. There is a Piggly Wiggly, True Value Hardware, and Dollar stores. Approx 20-30 min to Walmart."

Tips for camping with families

Swimming options: The region offers several swimming locations for families. "Public lake for swimming, on site, with playground!" highlights L&A C. regarding Millers Ferry Campground. Swimming areas generally lack lifeguards, so parental supervision is required.

Educational opportunities: Historical sites near Selma provide learning experiences for children. The city's civil rights landmarks, including the Edmund Pettus Bridge, offer educational value for school-age children when taking breaks from camping.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling considerations: Prepare for various pad conditions. At Montgomery South RV Park, Jon P. notes, "All the spots are pull through, gravel, and full hookup. Easy in and out." Meanwhile, at Gunter Hill, Rick G. describes "Very long and level concrete pad."

High water pressure: Some campgrounds maintain water systems with significant pressure. "Water pressure in campground is 80 psi," cautions Eleanor the Airstream R. about Montgomery South RV Park. RVers should consider using pressure regulators to protect their plumbing systems.

Sewer connection positioning: Check hookup locations before selecting sites. Richard A. mentions at Gunter Hill that "the sewer was a bit far from the parking pad. If you have a single black tank hose this may be an issue." Extended sewer hoses may be necessary at certain campsites throughout the region.
