Sunset RV operates as a basic overnight stop just off Interstate 20 in Cottondale, functioning primarily as a parking lot with full hookups rather than a traditional campground. The facility divides into two sections, with the office, laundry, and bathroom facilities located in the first area while the larger camping section sits across the highway.
Sites consist of gravel spaces with concrete pads, accommodating RVs up to 50 feet with 30/50 amp electric, water, and sewer connections. Most sites house long-term residents, leaving only six spots available for transient campers. The layout places sites facing each other directly, creating a compact arrangement without trees, picnic tables, or fire rings. Road noise from the adjacent interstate continues throughout the night, and bright vapor lighting illuminates the camping areas.
Cat R. describes it as "definitely just a no frills parking lot with full hookups." Management provides reservation confirmations via email with site assignments and directions. WiFi service proves unreliable according to recent visitors. A small dog walking area serves pet owners, though the bathhouse requires crossing the highway from the main camping section.
Campers needing a quick interstate stop before continuing toward Bama RV Station will find this location serves that purpose at $29-32 per night.
