I lived there for over a year and it's a Dusty gravel pit with a train that shakes the ground and is loud over and over at all hours of the night. I even had to call the authorities to have a snake removed from their dog park. Pick another place for your own sake.... There's no shade. It feels like you bought an RV and live at the sales lot.

I stayed here from February 2025 to January 2026 on a 1 year project and really enjoyed my stay at Bama RV Station. Ronnie is a wonderful host and took real good care of us during our stay. Going to miss it.

I stayed here for over 1 years while working in Tuscaloosa . This was the most reasonable abominations in the area. Very clean facility with a nice bath house and laundry room . Staff was great to work with and very helpful anytime needed. Definitely worth the time if in the area.

Bama RV Station was the perfect spot for visiting our son and hitting an Alabama football game! A close, easy drive to campus was a plus. The price is great, full hook up site, clean and private bathrooms/showers as well as a well kept full laundry room. Ron (campground manager/host, all around great guy) and others at the campground could not have been more friendly and welcoming. We also had a problem with our slide out and Ron had someone here to help us within the hour on a Sunday night after dark! Would definitely stay here again!

Ronny was a great host and they are expanding featuring more amenities! Dog park was Jake and Buddy’s favorite spot! Close to your main stores and a 12 minute walk to Waffle House!
