If you coming up north on 65, Oak Mountain State Park off of Highway 119 is beautiful. Just south of Birmingham. If you come up west on Hwy 280 Wind Creek State Park is half between Auburn and Birmingham, another beautiful park. My. Cheaha Park is also nice, never camped here but visit often as we live in its shadow, this is off I 20 east. We camp at Oak Mtn and Wind Creek several times a year. Check out Alaparks.com for more info. One other place we enjoy is a federal park, Coleman Lake, located in the Talladega National Forest, opens back up in March, $12 a night Welcome to Alabama.
