Love this rv park for an overnight stop. Easy in and out. Convenient location. RV area is within a parking lot with pads that are all 45 ft. Parking tow vehicles and trailers is available in adjacent areas of the complex. Fun atmosphere with sports events within complex.

Great Facility and Awesome Staff that's very helpful. Food court for big events and healthy food options. Also smaller snack bar section for fast visits during events. Highly Reccommended for any sporting event or tournament.

We stayed here over night on a Saturday while traveling from Arkansas to South Carolina. It was easy access, clean and well lit. The last 3 days had been wet and muddy while traveling so the clean asphalt was a welcome sight. We arrived after dark and it was easy to set up our travel trailer because the lighting is great. We have a dog and there is plenty of grassy/mulch areas for them to potty and play. I liked that each site has a trash can, so no excuses not to clean up after your pet and family. The reservations were easy to take of online. We would definitely stay there again.

I guess Google wants me to review this place. We don't have an RV, and only visited this place for the BBQ competition. The location was very well lit with plenty of hook up points. There is a lot of parking so there should be plenty of space for your RV.

A very good stopover location. It's part of a huge Birmingham sports and events complex. Sites are back-to-back, full service, 50 amp pull-throughs in a parking lot adjacent to the sports stadium and event center. It's well lit and has plenty conveniently placed trash containers. There is no security but police patrol the area. We feel quite safe. There's no office or amenities (pool, playground, camp store, etc.). Guests select a site and register online or at the kiosk. We like staying here. Easy off and on I-459.

We came here due to Hurricane Michael. It is probably the perfect overnight stop. It is one large parking lot that was easy to maneuver, even with our 41ft 5th wheel. There are trash cans at each hook up so you dont have to walk to a dumpster. Getting in and out was a breeze.

Interesting place on the back side of a sports complex. You think you are turning into the WRONG place, but just keep going through the big stadium parking lot and you'll see the "RV Parking" area... Great for an overnight, but mostly unmanned place on the side of the park where we were. Ask for a lower numbered space (>60) if you want to be close to the Finley building and facilities...

Excellent place for an overnight stay. It’s a parking lot with full hookups, all pull thru spaces, you can ride your bikes for an exercise or run, no laundry or anything like, no kids activities but my kids didn’t mind, they played ball and rode their bikes anyway. Spaces seems to have 30&50 amps all throughout. The 30 amp on my spaces shut off on me twice so a little touchy since I’ve stayed in other parks the last 7 days with no issues but I wouldn’t fault the site for this. I have a 36ft fifth wheel and parked the pickup sideways in front and it works just fine. Anyway, would stay here again for an overnight stop or if visiting anyone in the area.

6/2018 Update: I upped the review to 3 stars: Water pressure has been increased to a good level so disregard initial review. Secondly, they have lowered the rates to 35/220/725 (daily/weekly/monthly) from those quoted below. That's worthy of the improvement of the rating. There have been heated exchanges among guests with online reservations for a specific site and guests that arrived with no reservation and choose their spot based on vacancies at the time they arrived. Mind you, this place is NEVER full (excepts SEC tournaments) and there is no supervision of arrivals/departures. There is a drop box for you to include payment and site information if you arrive without a reservation or are unaware of online reservations. Neither guest is at fault, it really is a problem trying to function with two different styles of reservation management. Hire a camp host to check in arrivals in light of what reservations have already been made or drop site specific online reservations, chose one or the other and take this burden off guests and their immediate negative feelings about the park and Hoover. Secondly, they are doing construction on the southern most edge of the park with blasting, noise and dust. They start early and work on the weekends if weather permits. It can be noisy and dirty. Yesterday a blast sent mud/dirt/small rocks in the air and hit 3 coaches parked on the construction side. If you don't like that, park closest to the building. You have been warned. PLEASE NOTE if it is HOT outside: you are parked on asphalt and heat radiating off the surface is tremendous. Be sure your AC's are in good working order ESPECIALLY if you are leaving pets in your camper during the day or at a minimum have a way to check inside temps in case it gets too hot for your fur babies! ORIGINAL REVIEW First the good - the park is close to I-459 and easy on/off for travelers. All sites provide full hookups. It is located in the midst of a plethora of commercial facilities from quaint boutiques to Wal-Mart and Costco just a couple of miles away...convenience galore! Now the bad - since the park re-opened 6/2017, water pressure is remarkably low so much so that flushing and washing hands at the same time is dismal. Sites are short, our 45 ft motorhome hangs out front and back and that is without our tow car but sites are wide enough to pull the car to the side and out of the pathways. There is no cable TV and internet is like most other parks, spotty and slow. However it is located close enough to Birmingham that you can get local channels over the air if you have an antenna. Most all sites are deceivingly sloped and leveling can put your steps a bit high. There is no shade to speak of, mostly just a parking lot. There are no other services/features for this campground. No office to check in/out or make inquires of, no bath house or restrooms, no clubhouse or public gathering place, no pool or tennis courts, no picnic tables, no playground, no dog park, no landscaping between sites, well...you get the picture. Lastly, they are priced at $49 nightly, $282 weekly or $903 monthly for a parking lot with power, water and sewer.

Perfect place to stop if you are in the area and just need to PARK your RV. Took care of reservation on line, including window pass. Never saw a human, so not sure what happens if there is a problem but we didn't have any even with a pretty strong storm passing through.

If you are looking for a scenic RV parking experience, this is not the place. It is just a large parking lot. That being said, it is a well and in a very nice area close to shopping. I had a question and contacted the Hoover Met staff. The man I spoke with was very nice and even gave me the heads-up about a car show here at the facility. I would recommend this park to anyone exploring Birmingham and the surrounding area.

RV park was everything advertised. A parking space with hookups. I realize that a major construction project is going on, but there is NO signage directing to an exit. The entrance/exit is too narrow. I can only imagine the traffic nightmare during a large event.

Great place, if you're not looking for just a place to hookup. It is not a campground, so folks who rated it a 3 because of it had the wrong expectation. I did not see a comfort station, but each site has sewer. It was very easy to get in and out and hookup. Guy, who runs it, was very nice. Only problem, and reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that they so not have someone answering voicemail if Guy is out. Management needs to get someone to answer calls for him on the reservation number. The phone service also seemed like it wasn't working right. The staff seemed like they would bend over backwards to help you out if needed.

3 stars because of the area, there is alot to do around here. I'm not sure of the building concept though. Unfortunately there was construstion going on so I picked a spot away from it not thinking what events may be held at the complex. There ended up being a basketball event in which people were parked between the rv's and returning to their cars late in the night. Teams just getting done playing, loud. I feel if there was more order to this system things would be better. Possibly flag off a area away from your paying guest for event attending vechicles to park.

It is very clean,we really liked it. No cable but guests wi fi and its pretty fast. All parking is on black top because are in RV parking for hoover met sports complex. There is no office so you have to call a maryland area code and number . We would use it again.
