Wind Creek Atmore Casino RV Park provides a dedicated dog run area, making it convenient for quick relief breaks.

The limited shade at some campgrounds like Wind Creek Atmore requires extra consideration for keeping pets cool during warmer months.

    The Backyard RV Resort

    Home away from home

    We 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.

    Bama RV Station

    Good For Quick Overnight Stay

    Literally right off the interstate at Tuscaloosa. Much lower noise level than I expected. Definitely a parking lot, without trees. We are in site 9, pretty level gravel site, electric and water hookup only. 2 dump stations are available, 2 dog parks. 30 dollars a night. Mostly long term parking. No firepits or picnic tables. Check in by phone, no office.

    Montgomery South RV Park

    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

    Maxwell-Gunter AFB FamCamp

    RV Friendly, not so much for tents

    This 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.

    Maxwell-Gunter AFB FamCamp

    Lovely

    Great 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.

    The Backyard RV Resort

    Pretty Setting!

    Honestly, 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.

    Kountry Air RV Park

    Great Experience

    This 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.
