Tannehill Ironworks Historical

Great place, we didn’t camp there just used a Day Pass. But it was Awesome, something for almost everyone. From Grandma to young mountain biker riders.

Beautiful place and we enjoyed the historic buildings and museum. Especially the steam train. My daughter loves trains so this made her day. The playground was right beside our site and lots of hiking to be had.

The Good:
•	Beautiful natural setting
•	Historical structures and significance
•	Variety of attractions appeal to a diverse user group
•	Bathrooms seem to be newly remodeled and clean
•	Continued investment in the park to attract more users
•	Friendly staff
Not So Good:
•	Litter EVERYWHERE, from one end of the park to the other. Candy wrappers, broken sewers hoses, used jugs of oil, used latex gloves, large cardboard boxes, cans, etc.
•	Semi-permanent campers in all of the full-hookup sites and at least half of the water/electric sites. Gives off tent city vibes with all the "extra" tents, canvas carports, TARPS, fences, etc.

Stayed in the primitive camping area.  The site was sufficiently private with flat areas suitable for the tents and a fire ring already set up.  Staff was friendly, bathhouses clean and an abundance of portable toilets that were well maintained.    Would have liked to see a bbq in the primitive section available to the tenting cround.  Only bbqs observed were at the pavilions.

Woodcarvers Club 2nd Saturday each month, open to public. Christmas show/sale October.

Camped here in a popup for 5 days in the middle of July.  I got there in the evening after the office was closed but it was not a problem because the deputy was there to give me a pass after I picked my spot. Campground was well shaded but the men's shower/restroom was always hot. The museum was very informative, you can spend several hours there.  I was disappointed that the top part of the furnace was not open.  The campground is only a mile from the railroad tracks and trains used their horns day and night.  If you camp there watch out for kids riding their bikes at night even though they are not supposed to.  I would definitely come back again but with earplugs.
Maybe because it was summer but when I was there the Creamery was serving hand dipped ice cream in several flavors and I think that they were making shakes, too.

We stayed here for almost a week in our 40’ 5th wheel. Sites are adequately spacious. Loop 1 and 2 have full hookups with 20, 30 and 50 amp. Several sites backup to the creek. There are several pull thru sites. The campground map isn’t very informative on the extents of the campsites. They do not do reservations so it’s first come first serve. They let you go pick your site.  If you don’t need sewer hookup, check loop 3. I happened  to pick the one site that was the most difficult to level the rig, site 213, but it was nice to right next to the creek. Great place for kids, riding bikes and walking the dog! Tannehill is about a 30 min drive into Birmingham. We would stay here again. Can’t beat that rate of $30 per night!

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!

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. 👌🏻

Regularly crowded, but chock full of family fun!
