Birmingham Al

[elkhartjim]

I've gone through RV Park Reviews and it appears from them, there aren't any descent cg's in the Birmingham area. Chelse or any of you Georgians (is that what you are?) have any referrals. Understand, if its not great, everybody in the RV world will know about it.

Seriously, any advice would be appreciated. By the way Chelse...how far is Six Miles from BH, maybe I'll just come there.

Re: Birmingham Al

Jim, there is Oak Mountain State park just south of Bham and a private park which is nice but kind of pricey at Pelham just south of Bham both off I-65. Tannahill is on I-59 south of bham. If you are this way let me know. I'll get the name of the Pelham CG and get back. Archer stayed there when he was passing thru so he may give you some advice on the Pelham CG. Tannahill is a old furnace that the yankees :angry: destroyed, I know war is war, and is kind of interesting. Sites are rustic, close but ok. Good paved roads getting there. Oak Mnt is ok with full hook ups and good paved roads getting into the park. There is a pretty steep hill but short going into the cg. The Pelham is right on 65 at the Pelham exit go right to first light take a right and you are there.

Re: Birmingham Al

Jim , Chelse is from Alabama so he is not a Georgian, but one of us good ole boys here in the south. If you need any help here in Georgia let me know and I will see what I can do for you. Now you have a good trip to Bham. :laugh:

Re: Birmingham Al

Jim, Pelham was just fine. Clean and easy to get around with MH, Tow Dolly and Car on dolly. Went to dinner with Chelse so did not stay around the campground long.....rest/sleep stop on the way to Florida a couple years ago.

Re: Birmingham Al

Hey Archer... Chelse never mentioned anything about dinner.

Re: Birmingham Al

Re: Birmingham Al

Tannehill CG is one of our favorite cg. We stay in section 3 where there are no sewers but the deer come up to the rv. Dont even think about staying there in Oct. you cant get in the place

 

[C Nash]

Re: Birmingham Al

Tannehill was also one of our favorites until the restaurant burned and now the new one is closed or was a month or so ago.
Oak Mountain is also ok but kind of run down the last time we were there. Fishing pretty good and the paddle boats or fun. Horseback riding also great for the back trails but guess that would'nt interest a Texan. :laugh: Jim or you just passing through or on business or none of my business? :laugh:
