Trail Notes

What we noticed on the ground

Just south of Birmingham Alabama is a beautiful state Park, Oak Mountain State Park is an exciting place for the whole family! I was truly surprised by how huge Oak Mountain State Park really is! The RV camping loop is 5 miles from the front gate and there is another 10 miles of paved roads! This is certainly an amazing place to spend a few days camping and exploring! We only had a few hours to explore and check out the sites and activities that Oak Mountain State Park has to offer and that was not even close to being enough! Come along with me as I explore Oak Mountain State Park! Your Marketing. Made Easy.

Mapped with our State Parks To The East, LA, ARK, TN, AL, GA, FLA, SC, NC, VA stops.

Campnab

Want the best campsite?

I do too.

I want the right site, on the right dates — not just whatever happens to be left when I make the reservation.

That's why I use Campnab.

I tell Campnab the campground, my dates, and the sites I'm looking for. If one of those sites opens up, Campnab lets me know.

Then it's up to me to grab it through the campground's reservation system.

Campnab doesn't book the campsite for me. It watches for the opening so I don't have to.

👉 Have Campnab watch for your campsite.
