Camping in Alabama

144 places to stay, each with its nearest town and where our information comes from.

Alabama's most unusual camping is in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta near Stockton, where the Bartram Canoe Trail has wooden platforms built over the water. You paddle in, tie up and sleep surrounded by swamp and cypress, with nothing but the frogs for company. Book a platform and bring a good bug net.

Most of the state's listings are down on the Gulf Coast. Foley, Gulf Shores and the towns around Bon Secour and Magnolia Springs have a long run of RV resorts, and Gulf State Park has a big campground a short walk from the beach. Winter is high season here, when snowbirds come south, and spring and fall are the most comfortable.

A listing is a lead, not a promise. These are places we know about, not places we have confirmed you can sleep tonight. Rules, closures, seasons and fees change, and forest roads and passes close for snow. Check signs and local rules before you commit to a night somewhere, and tell us when something is wrong.
