We did an extended stay and have absolutely loved it. The location is super convenient. The lots are clean, well kept, and beautiful. Scenery is great and the events are fun. Clubhouse is fun, laundry room and public bathrooms are always clean and well kept, pool is nice (when weather permits). The staff is some of the best people I’ve ever met.

Great overnight stop for us! Made our same day reservation with very friendly staff, entered after hours and picked up our site packet at the office building. Easy, level concrete pad to park on in FHU pull through site. Well kept park, clean and quiet. Will definitely stay again during our travels through Alabama!

They are quick to resolve any maintenance requests & extremely friendly at the office, it’s the kind of place that once you walk in it immediately feels like home. I have been staying here for over a year with my partner and we’ve enjoyed every second of it. The location is super convenient 10 minutes to university & 40 minutes to Montgomery!! We love going to the pool, attending the events, going on walks around the pond and trails, fishing the ponds, and sometimes we will ride bikes around the trails! There is a large selection of lots and if you aren’t happy with where you are the staff is very friendly and quick to move you somewhere more to your enjoyment. They are planning on adding a community garden and we are very excited for it!!! 10/10 place!!

The park is very pretty with two ponds. It is very quiet and all the campers have been very friendly. One of my favorite parts that I found near the end of my semester is that Deer Run has a social room that you can host events or just use the oven. One slight inconvenience is the wifi only really works at the bathhouse.
