Campgrounds along I-65 north of Birmingham AL

We are heading to the Florida panhandle coming from Southwest Ohio. Looking to overnight north of Birmingham AL. Any suggestions, we have stayed at Texas tea in the past looking to get a little further this trip.

Thanks

  • Gadsen Ala. Noccalula Falls Campground. ph #256-543-7412
    It is a city operation
    oops just noticed I65 you want sorry
  • If you're coming down I65 the closest to the Interstate and around Birmingham would probably be Oak Mountain State Park. The Alapark websight is down but I'm sure you could google and find information.

    Here's the contact info:
    Oak Mountain State Park Campground, Cabins, Golf
    Web reservations will be available soon
    OakMountain.StatePark@dcnr.alabama.gov
    Campground: (205) 620-2527
    Cabins: (205) 620-2524
    Golf: (205) 620-2522

  • There are campgrounds in the Cullman area just north of Birmingham and there is one in the Hanceville area. I believe they are all listed in RV Parks Reviews and all are probably ok for overnight.
  • Cullman Campground, Cullman, AL about an hour north of Birmingham. http://www.visitcullman.org/campings.html
  • Just South of Birmingham is a new KOA campground

  • a very nice and inexpensive cg a little further south is sherling lake in Greenville AL. its about 2 miles off 65, we have stayed there many times for a night.

    My parents live in Harrison OH also, it takes them about 11.5 hours to Greenville.
  • We travel this route quite often going down to Henderson Beach.

    Oak mountain park is excellent. However, if you are using your GPS it will give you bad directions (unless they have corrected it in the past year), so follow your map.

    We try to get a night at Cullman. It is fine for an overnight and the folks here are very very nice. Quick off and on for I65.

    Glad to hear there is a new KOA south of Birmingham. May try that on our next trip down.

    Have a great trip!!
  • How about Rickwood Caverns State Park just north of B,Ham
