There is also a Sams club right across the street from the Trussville Walmart. Just another option.

Helpful Ap for smart phone: ONP Walmart It's been very helpful for us and provides reviews. The more folks that use it will be better. Tommy

Only problem with staying here is you will want to stay. And worth every minute. The area is Amazing. Larry

We overnighted at a rest area right outside of Birmingham on our way south to Gulf Shores, AL. Pulled in about 11:30 or midnight, found a spot between trucks, hit the bed, pulled out about 7 am.

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.

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

Plug the address into this site. THEN make your decision if you want to stay overnight there with your family. :W
