Great little Park. Easy off the interstate clean tidy. Pull through great utilities. No complaints. Bathrooms very clean. We did use them free coffee in the office which was great because our coffee pot broke. Cute little gift shop friendly staff. We'd stop again. Actually, we are considering extending a stay next time to see the caves.

Beautiful campground near interstate. Level wide spots. Clean and manicured. Plenty of dog areas with poop bags and disposals. Amazing bathrooms- nicest we have seen anywhere in US. Helpful staff. It was our first time there and we were pleasantly surprised and will stay again.

We had the pleasure of staying for a week at Birmingham South RV Park. The grounds are well kept and facilities were spot on! Perfect for us with our 2 Cavoodles (Crumpet and Benji). Our space had plenty of room and a picnic table as well as the staff being super friendly. Thank you for a great experience 😊

Stopped for an overnight on our way to Florida. Our site (#51) was paved, level, and spacious. The park was clean and quiet. There are several permanent trailers there, but plenty of room for short term stays which are located closer to the office. Staff was friendly and accommodating! Price was 1/2 of what our previous night's stay had been near Nashville. Would stay again! We were in our 45' mo... Stopped for an overnight on our way to Florida.
