There is so much to do and see!!! Friendly staff and campers! There are so many trails and activities. The furnace is amazing! They have so many activities planned throughout each month! The creeks and streams are amazing and beautiful! Every corner you turn you are surrounded by nature, if you just wait a few minutes wildlife will show itself!!!

This is a neat little place to come for a day. I would recommend going on Saturday when most things are open. They have some cool cabins and a griet mill to look at. The hikes are nothing strenuous. The general store is okay but beware the creamery doesn't have scoops of ice cream just prepackaged single serve bars. They have swimming and camping. They also have some old farm buildings and a mini train. Most of the place was pretty empty when we went through the week. It's $5 to get in, $2 to ride the train, and $2 to go to the museum.

This place is fantastic! I love parks with historical value, and Tannehill definitely rates at the top of historical value. The entire park was very clean, it has amazing walking/ biking paths and a herd of deer that lounge in the adjacent woods. There were plenty of rv spots, cabins for rent and small "lodges" with a communal bathroom. I'm planning a trip back next month specifically to visit Tannehill again!

Wife and I first time here. The trails are great easy walking in most places. We started on the school side biking trails. It was amazing area. We switched to some of the easier trails. Great nature hike!!

Absolutely gorgeous park with many RV sites. What a gem! The campground is surrounded by fishing streams and historical sites to explore. We came during the week in the summer for just an overnight visit as we were driving back north from Florida. Not only did we enjoy the peaceful environment, University of Alabama was not too far away - we enjoyed the campus and some local bbq. Would definitely stay here again. And definitely recommend to others.

Amazing park, it really felt like a hidden gem. We tent camped and the primitive sites were located along a small brook. We watched a family of deer cross right next to us. The trails are awesome and the water is beautiful. Great family or couples retreat for a weekend. Bathrooms/showers could use some updating but all in all, a fantastic place to visit.

Tannehill holds a special place in my heart. My grandparents would sell their wares at trade days and my friends and I would spend the weekend roaming every inch of that place. I have such great memories. I love the way it's basically stayed the same all these years. It's something constant and beautiful in a sometimes ugly and ever changing world. It's very special to me.😌❤

Kid friendly. Love floating with the stream of the water. Hiking trails and bike trails were a good length. Train ride could have been longer but for $1 it was cool. The bigger fish were picky eaters.

Let me just say, it's so sad to hear this place lost government funding I'm sure because of it's confederate roots. Once I heard that I was HAPPY to pay to enter. This park was an absolute treasure and i very much enjoyed viewing and walking around all the old confederate iron buildings etc. I take my southern roots seriously and this is what it's all about. Thank you to everyone who works here and helps keep this place alive. So many people enjoying RV camping here made me very happy. 👌🏻
