Does anyone know of any decent camping around Birmingham? I am looking to the north or east of the city since we live in Atlanta and are looking for a short trip with a combined reason. We always want to camp, but have other things we need to accomplish there. Thanks so much.
Mt. Cheaha is nice. It is East of Birmingham on I-20 just before the Talledega Raceway. Probably a 30 minute drive on into Birmingham. Closer to Birmingham is Oak Mountain State Park. I haven't camped there in a while. The park itself is great, I had heard that the campground could use a little work. Try this link to find campgrounds and see reviews. http://www.epgsoft.com/CampgroundMap/index.html
Once you zoom and find a campground, it has links to the campground itself, and links to recent reveiws from other campers.
Thanks so much!
