Oak Mountain is a beautiful state park. Sites were level, with full hook ups available and good tasting water. The bathhouse was ideal: several heated and private toilets, showers, and sinks each in their own handicap accessible unit. There are numerous hiking trails and opportunities for outdoor activities. We stayed there while visiting historical sites in Birmingham. One downside was that the campfire wood was too dense to make a good campfire. We couldn't even split it with the hatchet. If you like campfires, bring plenty of fire starter and plan to hunt for kindling.

Loved the fall view from our cabin. Great value. Easy nearby hikes. Nater center wonderful with great info. Looks like they work hard to reduce invasive plants...but the bird window looked like invasive nandina may be present. Windows protected by bird friendly surfaces. Thanks! Reds were sasafrass, sumac, tupelo, sourwood, red maple, and even some dogwood!

Great place to run, hike, trail run, bike, kayak and any other outdoor activities you can think of. Trails are well marked and you can also get a trail map at the front gate when you enter the park. They have a bunch of fun events at Oak Mt from biking & bmx track races to 5K and many other races on a weekly basis. There is also a beautiful golf course and great campground.

We loved the Double Oak lake! It's never too crowded and the atmosphere is refreshing. This was our last lake day of the year today with the kids and the weather was perfect. There is a beach volleyball court and Pavillion acquired grills. If you don't want the beach part there are grassy park areas to picnic, there is a concession stand that offers gear and snacks.

We had a fantastic time at Oak Mountain State Park! The changes made in the last few years have been amazing. The bath houses are great, the lots are large, and there is so much to do!
