A very nice park. Gated access keeps out the through traffic. Campsites are mostly level and fairly large. We had an end site so it was larger than most. A modern coated metal picnic table and fire ring are in every site. Very large lake with swimming and other water sports available. We will definitely be staying here again in the future

My daughter (8 yrs old) and I hike the Megan Glen and then to Kings Chair. It was long for her but rewarding to see Kings chair overlook. Very beautiful.

I'm new to Alabama but I have fallen in love with Oak Mountain State Park. I mean just look it's gorgeous 😍. I love fishing and there are plenty of spots for that, They have a beach area for the kids, summer camp, bounce playground on the water, rentals, plenty of trails, picnic areas, lodging for horses, archery and cabin rentals. I'm sure it's probably more adventure out here than what meets the eye. Come out and see for yourself!!

Started mountain biking with my new mountain ebike, little help up the hills you know. Having a great time. $2 entrance fee for 62+ is really nice. Oak Mountain is beautiful and other bikers, hikers and staff are all very friendly. I'm planning on showing up at Oak Mountain at least twice a week until the day I kill over. Hopefully, that day won't be cause I ran into a tree.

Very nice facilities for camping. We brought our kids BMX bikes and they had a blast at the BMX track! Everything is a drive so I would definitely bring a bike or electric scooter, electric bike, mountain bike, etc. if in a motorhome. Spacious and individual bathrooms with showers, laundry facility is nice but does not offer change — you have to get it from the camp store and only available during select hours.

The trails are well marked and offer options for all skill levels. Whether you’re hiking, biking, or just looking for a relaxing place to walk and take in the views, this park delivers. The park is very clean and well maintained, which makes the experience even better.

Amazing pictures from this place! Peavine falls is an amazing place to soak in the scenery and watch birds and wildlife. The road up to peavine falls is very steep, so make sure that your car can handle it.

Our first time visiting. They have an amazing 18 hole golf course, the views are fantastic, sadly I can't say the same for my golf game. Miles of trails, gorgeous scenery. Horse barns and trails, bring your own horse. A lovely hike to the Peavine waterfall. The Alabama Animal Center, is located in the park, it is a great place to visit. I LOVED this park, but you probably already figured that out.

My favorite place in Alabama! December 28th 2025...last Sunday sunset over the lake..... Ill take it! (I also added pics from my 2025 adventures) I moved to Alabama July of 2025 and Oak Mountain Park has been my go to place... From the mammothmarch (20 mile hike), to blue grass concerts, hiking, mountain biking,drawing,picnicking/grilling with family and friends, camping, to paddleboarding on the lake....it has so much to offer. The staff is friendly and they do an amazing job keeping the park clean!

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!

This place was amazing! Beautiful views and me and my daughters first time hiking. You have to pay to enter the park. And maps were a $1. Walked a trail and also visited the treetop area with the injured owls that were taken in. Very interesting visit. Would definitely go again.
