Sherling Lake Park & Campground
Overview
Sherling Lake Park & Campground offers a serene escape in the heart of the Camellia City. Located just outside Greenville, Alabama, this city-operated park is highly regarded for its peaceful lakeside setting and lush surroundings. It serves as an ideal midpoint for travelers navigating the I-65 corridor, providing a harmonious blend of natural beauty and modern convenience. The park’s centerpiece consists of two beautiful lakes that create a calm, picturesque backdrop for any RV stay.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Butler County, the park is tucked away among rolling hills and towering loblolly pines. While the environment feels secluded and deeply connected to nature, it is only a few miles from the conveniences of downtown Greenville. The landscape is defined by the sparkling waters of Sherling Lake and its proximity to the acclaimed Cambrian Ridge Golf Course. This unique placement offers visitors the chance to enjoy a quiet, rural atmosphere without sacrificing easy access to local southern dining and essential services.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground features 41 spacious sites equipped with full hookups, including 30 and 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer. Each site provides a level pad and enough space to accommodate most modern rigs comfortably. On-site facilities include well-maintained bathhouses, a laundry room, and a scenic walking trail that loops around the water. For recreation, guests can utilize the picnic pavilions and the playground, while the lakes provide excellent opportunities for fishing and electric-motor boating.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the immediate proximity to the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, which is located adjacent to the park grounds. Downtown Greenville offers a charming look at local history and deep-rooted southern culture. Nature lovers can explore the Camellia Trail or spend a quiet afternoon fishing for bass and bream from the lake's banks. For those looking to explore further, the historic district offers unique architecture and a glimpse into Alabama's rich heritage.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal destination for active retirees and golf lovers looking to spend their days on the greens at Cambrian Ridge. It also perfectly suits families seeking a quiet, safe environment where children can play and explore the outdoors in a natural setting. Because of its convenient location near the interstate, it is an excellent choice for long-distance travelers who want a high-quality stopover that offers more scenery and tranquility than a typical roadside park.

Nice Campground. Concrete Sites. Lakes Are Relaxing. No Bath House. Wish We'd Known That The Bath House Was Torn Down But We Made Do. Both Campground Hosts Were Super Friendly. If We're Ever Back In The Area We'll Stay Here Again.

The campground was clean and the one staff personnel I met was nice. However, there are zero amenities and the office building was locked and empty every day we were there. We rely on bathhouses so we booked this campground but when we got there, there wasn't one despite it being on the map they gave us when we checked in. Also, I've been camping for almost 2 years now and I've never had both my camper and tow vehicle be completely infested with ants after the first night. It was honestly horrendous.

We stayed here for 1 night. It was very pleasant and the staff was great. I generally really enjoy these city owned campgrounds; this one was great. It's easy to get in and out and close to the highway. It's part of a larger park so there is a very nice lake to check out and a big playground. This has a very throwback feel, which I super enjoyed. From the phone call for a reservation to the paper receipt for our camping spot. No reservation # no email receipt... and yet no issues with anything when we arrived. They escorted us to our site and even offered a different site that was a little more private with a small deck. Sites are large and spread out; ours was full hook-ups. It was super quiet. There seems to be a mix of longer term and short term here. I don't think they have a bath/shower house. I would definitely stop here again. Even with it being an older park, there were signs of it being well cared for. If you like more old school type parks that feel like a dispersed park then you will enjoy this. Since we were just here for the night I don't know what the area is like for activities. It felt very safe. Thanks for offering such a nice.camping experience.

Nice place, easy stay, would caution very hilly sites

It was not a pleasant stay. NO amenities. The office is hard to contact, no email confirmation and had to pay cash. Had to ask for a picnic table. No place to go during Tornadoes, they locked everything to avoid any liability. Do NOT recommend, unless you're just staying 1 night.
