We will be traveling from new orleans,LA to gatlingburg,TN next month, I plan to lay over a night in the birmingham,AL area at the wal-mart supercenter on 59. Has anyone had any experience in that area? Good or bad all comments are appreciated.Jeff

I'm not familiar with the area you are going but, did you check:Free CampgroundsFree CampgoundsMaybe there are options to WalMart.

When we go to Gatlinburg we usually make a stop over in Fort Payne. Desoto State Park is one of the best state parks in Alabama. Full hookups include W/E/S and cable. Don't know about the Walmart, they usually don't have a good view and no hookups.

If you want to call it an early day, there is a Bass Pro shop right off the highway in Montgomery, ALclicky

I've stayed at the Sam's Club on I59 in Trussville (NE side of B'Ham). I felt perfectly safe. But I normally feel safe in the Sam's Club parking lots as they have better security and the store is closed (means no wee hour drive thrus with a loud radio booming away). I have a Sam's Club business membership and also can get in the store early. They generally have a pot of coffee brewed so I get a free cup to wake up with. My Sam's Club membership really pays off for me.
