Parking for tent camping was a bit awkward and throwing away trash required a hike. Not a great situation for a handicapped person. The park itself is beautiful, well kept and peaceful. Lots of cute little critters to discover.

Not as many shaded sites as we have found at other state parks. Long drive once inside the park to the campground - 5 miles from one direction and a windy narrow 2+ Mile drive in the other direction. Very nice amenities though and close to any and all shopping. Nice managers!

Great place with fun hikes. Got the solitude I was looking for even in a crowded camp ground. Great staff that were super helpful guiding my day hikes. Top park in Alabama!

Needs updating. Needs wifi. Love the staff. We stayed 17 days. We had a great time. If you're a man, be sure to cough if you are in the restroom and you hear someone come in. They'll open the curtain right up on you and there you will be in all your glory. Plus the toilet is a little tall so you're really exposed. But hey, I don't have anything to hide.

This is my go to for a close weekend getaway, my kids love this place and the staff are A+. Tons to do, hiking, archery, biking, BMX, swimming, kayaking, fishing, waterfalls, geo caching, there are a couple of beach areas also. They have events and activities all year long. The nature center is really nice with a board walk bird exhibit. There is a really nice new playground surrounded by picnic tables and a lake view. The campground is nice spacious sites and lots of shade!!

The park and Peavine Falls are lovely - though it was quite a workout descending to and ascending from the falls! The people who work there are pleasant, as well. My sister and I camped for two nights and it was peaceful and refreshing.

Nice, quaint little campgrounds. Not very private though unless you go primitive. Staff was super friendly. Nice light trail at the front the camping grounds and lots of activity at the Park itself. The Park is AMAZING. Great activities for all ages. Favorite was the Treetop Trail.

Well run campground. Very accommodating if involved in an event, elsewhere in the park. Bathhouses could use some updating, facility used to have WiFi but hasn't worked in years. We're local so we come here often. Park has a lot to offer so no shortage of things to do, while you're here.

I was born in Alabama and raised in Birmingham so I'm very familiar with Oak Mountain State Park. I know Oak Mountain is one of the larger state parks in the state and it's very beautiful and has lots of activities. So I was extremely disappointed in the campground. It's very old and really could stand to be updated. Many of the sites are ridiculous in the sense that they are right on the road and you have absolutely no privacy or that they're so close to the trees you can't even get your awnings out. It is near to one of the large lakes in the park, but unfortunately the only campsites down by the lake are tent sites. Now, for a tent camper they do have lots of tent sites and they're very large and have the privacy that the camper sites lack. Many of the camper sites have absolutely no shade or they're so close to the trees that it's almost impossible to back your camper into it or to let your slides out or your awnings. I was also disappointed in the playground it was large but really had nothing but swings and a slide. That could stand to be updated too. Personally I did not use the bath houses, but they seemed there seem to be plenty of them. If you plan to camp here in a camper, I suggest that you actually personally drive to the campground and look around at the campsites, before you try to select one, to make sure that your camper will fit in it.

Simple campground. Clean restrooms. Good location. Would be nice if there were dish sinks. Water and fire pits available. Nice lake for swimming, fishing and boating!

Campgrounds are spacious and provide enough space for the biggest tents. wish more people could clean up after themselves, but hey what can you do. just love the park as a whole its so great!

We stayed here for three months and were asked to move our lot 4 times! The scenery, hiking, activities, and camping are great but the facilities are absolutely disgusting! They advertise free WiFi but unfortunately this is just a straight lie and even after asking multiple times to have this fixed or to receive compensation for the false advertising, we were met with apathy and indifference.
