Camping in the State Parks

Whether you prefer camping in your air-conditioned RV or hiking deep in the woods to find an isolated spot to put up your tent, Alabama has the right place for you. With over 100 campgrounds ranging from private and state parks to national forests, you're sure to find the perfect spot to sleep under the stars.

Alabama has 22 state parks, with most offering improved and primitive campsites. These include the largest state-owned campsite in America, Wind Creek State Park, featuring 1,445 acres along the shores of scenic Lake Martin.

Mark your calendars so you won't miss the Annual Alabama Coastal Birdfest, October 18-21, to be held in Spanish Fort, Fairhope and Mobile.
