Want to stay a few days near Birmingham. According to all reviews I see, there doesn't seem to be much that is acceptable. Anyone know of a place? Location near Birmingham and ease of navigating rv park with a large Class A are of most importance.
The Birmingham area is one of the world's poorest for selection
of an R V Park. Some are
1. Hoover AL.....a city (?) park at an athletic stadium,
well rated by those who stay there.
2. A K O A (if it is still a K O A) in Pelham, which is
well rated, and suitable.
3. My favorite is Tannihill Historic State Park at
mile 100 on I 59/20 south of B'ham.
4. Oak Mountain State Park.
All these are on rvparkreviews.com. P M me with questions

Oak Mountain is about a 15 mile drive from the interstate at 25-35 mph. Rustic state park. Most of the hookups are on the "wrong side". Site B31 is drive thru with the hookups correct. There are two drive-thrus for this particular site - one for parking your car. Lots of room. No trees.
If you want quick on and off interstate access, the Pelham campground is Birmingham South Campground. It is basically a large open field. It does have amenities and is very convenient. It is maybe 5 miles from Oak Mountain.
Oak Mountain is right off the interstate, but has a horrible campground (un-level, 30amp, dirt).
We did find they have a Equestrian campground that's new, and were able to enjoy our 7 days there. The hookups are on the correct side, it's level (gravel), and is the only place in the park with 50 AMP.
There's a Good Sams park there also right off the interstate if you don't mind paying a premium (it's nice).
