Most RV campgrounds near Woodville, Alabama sit along Lake Guntersville, a 69,000-acre reservoir on the Tennessee River. The area experiences mild winters with occasional freezes and humid summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90Ā°F. Campgrounds in this region typically operate year-round but with varying seasonal rates that increase during spring and fall fishing tournaments.
What to do
Waterfall exploration: 30 minutes from Woodville, visitors can access Little River Canyon National Preserve where Little River RV Park & Campground serves as a convenient base. "Little River Canyon features many waterfalls and hiking! It's beautiful," notes Shea M. Another camper adds, "The canyon is gorgeous and provides for some amazing views especially if you drive the entire scenic road and stop at all the lookouts."
Golf access: 45 minutes west in Hartselle, Quail Creek RV Resort offers direct access to golfing. "The campground is on a golf course and has an Inn right on the course," explains a recent visitor. Though convenient, campers note that "the course is not very well maintained, but it does get a lot of play."
Military history: Visit Redstone Arsenal for those with military ID access. "This area is a fisherman's paradise with lake Guntersville and the Tennessee river a few miles down RT 69. Huntsville is only a 30 minute drive and there are many things to see and do there," notes a camper who stayed at Georgia Mountain RV Resort.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Campers repeatedly praise the upkeep at Redstone Arsenal RV Park & Campground. "This is a fantastic campground featuring level pull through concrete pads that can accommodate any size RV. It is quiet location with a Great dog park," says David R. Another reviewer mentioned, "They have Laundry. Showers and bath. Full hook up."
Pet accommodation: Most campgrounds welcome pets, with dedicated areas at some parks. "We had a very generous spot and were able to receive the WIFI! The campground is hilly, which makes it even more appealing for me as I wanted to camp in the mountains amongst nature," notes a camper at Little River RV Park.
Off-interstate convenience: For overnight travelers, Northgate RV Travel Park provides easy access from I-65. "Exit 354 dumps you off onto 31. Watch for gravel driveway at the end of the ramp so slow down so you don't miss it," advises Beth R. Another camper adds, "Simple and not fancy. But fits the bill when needing a place with electricity and dump and fill water!"
What you should know
Military base restrictions: Redstone Arsenal requires proper military identification. "You must have access to military base to use," notes one reviewer. Another advises, "Use Gate 8 near the commissary and BX versus 9. Gate 8 gives you an easier drive to the campground."
Limited amenities at some parks: While full-service parks exist, others offer basics only. "This is a bare bones CG with no amenities. Most of the sites have FHUs," explains a camper at Northgate RV Travel Park. Another notes, "No bathhouse, pool or anything so just basic RVing."
Road conditions: Approach with caution on rural routes to Wills Creek RV Park. "The facility is dated, but clean and an easy on and off on the way through," mentions Scotty W. At Quail Creek, one camper warned: "Be careful driving here the road is very narrow and no shoulders. We met a school bus on the road and ended up having to go into the pit next to the road."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Families appreciate dedicated play areas. "There is a great playground and dog area," notes a camper at Quail Creek RV Resort. Another adds, "I would definitely recommend this campground for families or people who are full time RVers!"
Duck pond activities: Children enjoy wildlife viewing opportunities. "This is my go to campground in fort Payne Alabama. The owners are super nice!! There is a pond with cute ducks!!" shares Haley H. from Little River RV Park.
Budget-friendly firewood: Plan evening activities around campfires where allowed. "You can buy a bundle of fire wood for $5," notes a camper at Little River RV Park & Campground. For campgrounds without fire rings, bring alternative evening entertainment.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Many RV campgrounds near Woodville require leveling blocks. "The sights weren't particularly level, all gravel and the grass appeared hastily sown over unleveled soil with large clumps of clay and rocks present," reports Randy G. about Jones Farm RV Park.
Utility placement considerations: Check hookup locations before selecting sites. "The turn at the end of the new sights was a bit sharp if you have a long rig," notes one camper about Wills Creek. Another mentions, "The utilities are in the middle of the pad and you can maneuver to suit your needs."
Access road navigation: Large RVs require careful planning on approach roads. "Watch for gravel driveway at the end of the ramp (no visible sign) so slow down so you don't miss it," advises a Northgate RV Travel Park visitor. Another notes, "There's a deep ditch on either side of the driveway when you pull in, so keep an eye on how your rig tracks."
