8 reviews for Oak Mountain State Park
Circus Campground
By Saje, 11/30/08
If you are looking for peace and quiet...a bit of nature in your world...FORGET IT! People burn plastic, building lumber, etc...all against the rules, but no one stops them --- so there is a foul, toxic fog in the evenings. The Host's dog barked almost constantly, literally hours on end - which is grounds for Immediate Kick-Out for anyone else - AND got other dogs barking in the process! A virtual concert, if you are into that sound...PLUS, the unsupervised, screaming children...let's not forget them! The bath houses are kept clean, as a Pro...but the employees will leave the door open and freeze you out if you happen to be showering when they come to clean - they prop the door open and the shower is directly in front of the exit door. Be aware also, that they change terms/conditions/rules WITHOUT changing them in the literature or online - I found that interesting. Oh, I almost forgot...if you decide you want to stay longer and don't pay before your 11am Check-Out Time - they kick you out!!! I don't understand this Campground - they seem to WANT it empty. It reminds me of children that don't want others playing in their tree fort. I have camped all over the U.S. and have never seen anything like it.

First visit and won't be my las
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/16/08
This was my first time visiting your Beautiful State Park. I would encourage anyone if you want a camping getaway this is the place to go. You have so much to offer here and topping of after a great day of adventures you can sit back and relax and have a camp fire.....what a way to end a great day only to know there is more out there the next morning. I certainly will be back. I am from Ontario, Canada. Thanks for a great holiday and spectacular adventures.

Excellent Park
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/10/04
We've been going to the park since the children were small. It's a beautiful place to picnic, hike, view nature, camp, golf, go horseback riding, etc. Great for family reunions, etc.

Excellent camp site.
By Greg, 07/06/04
Employees are friendly, helpful, willing to make your stay there an enjoyable time. Campsites are well positioned, with only a few sites crammed together. Maps are not very accurate, but overall the site is GREAT! Staying again next weekend!
