Let's go camping!
Most Alabama State Parks host modern campsites along with primitive camping. Modern bathhouses and spacious camping pads - many right on the water - make camping in an Alabama State Park comfortable and fun. Many park campgrounds offer senior discounts, allow pets, have onsite picnic tables and grills, and ample parking for visitors. Advance reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and holidays.
