Early April, 2025. Burchfield Branch Park Campground, near Brookwood, Alabama, is administered by…read morethe US Army Corps of Engineers. It is open to the public, with advance reservations required and made through Recreation.gov. Burchfield is near Holt Lake on the Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway, and offers camping, boating, swimming, a large playground, picnicking, and more. The campground has 36 sites, most with electric and water hookups; tent camping is also allowed. There are also showers, a dump station, and trash receptacles. We camped at picturesque site #2, a back-in site along the Warrior River. The site was 45' long and paved, with a picnic table and electric and water hookups. No issues for us to access this site in a 20' class B, but it might have been challenging to maneuver in a large RV. Many sites are tight and close together, but we still had privacy as the sites on both sides of us were empty. The price was excellent, $28 with hook ups, and only $14 for holders of the NPS Senior Pass. We regrettably stayed here for only one night, which was an error in planning on our part. We were traveling between Montgomery and Birmingham, AL, not fully appreciating how remote and off the beaten path this campground is. It's many, many miles off the interstate, requires you to travel down many narrow roads, and is far, far away from cell service and basic amenities (groceries, gasoline, restaurants, etc.). Our journey also took us through miles and miles of desolate land that is being mined. And, did I mention that it was pouring rain for hours of our journey? This resulted in a very wet campground so we cocooned in our RV, not really enjoying our surroundings or what the campground offered. We were on our way to Birmingham the following morning. In retrospect, we should've stayed closer to Birmingham, or at least stayed longer to enjoy the campground. Be sure to note that advanced reservations are required, and the gate is locked at night for safety so be sure to arrive before closing. The coordinates for the park are: 33.43896,-87.36165.

I also had a rum pina colada/ hurricane mixed slushy. Ozan also doubles as a distillery. They offer a small plate menu plus some pizzas. We didn't order any foods. The winery is really pretty and aesthetically appealing! As we walked up, I loved smelling the grapes in the vineyard! It was cool being back here for the first time in many years. Can't wait to return soon!!!

It truly felt like the space was reserved just for us to relax, enjoy some girl time on our trip, and savor delicious wine samplings. The customer service was absolutely top‑notch. Although there was only one employee working, she was incredible--friendly, engaging, and attentive. She took the time to chat with us, offered great recommendations, and consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. It's the perfect place to take a break, enjoy the scenery, and unwind with great wine and even better service.

What a time we had! Just finished a girls night out with the Eat Drink Ride Food tours. It was soo…read moremuch fun and so worth the cost. We had a total of five stops to taste food, dessert and drinks. First stop was The Seafood King located in Lakeshore. We had a sample of the seafood basket which included shrimp, sausage, corn cob and a potato. Nice taste. Not over seasoned or under. Just right. It was a nice sample of some of the food they offer. Second stop was Jake's Soulfood in Hoover. We took a quick picture by Comedian Joys cutout then proceeded to sit for our food tasting. We had fried chicken, mac n cheese, cornbread and rice with beans. The chicken was cooked fresh and I personally would have liked a little more seasoning on the chicken but that's my preference. It was still good and so was the mac n cheese. This is when I started getting full. I did take the food I couldn't finish from Jake's home. Third stop was The Whole Scoop also located in Hoover. We were treated with a cone or bowl of ice cream (one scoop) of any flavor they had. The options were plenty. Our guide did advise us not to get vanilla, chocolate or strawberry because we can get those anytime. We needed to explore new flavors. I did... I got the dark chocolate raspberry truffle (I think that was the name). It was delicious and was a nice break from eating food. Yummy Then we traveled to Trussville and stopped at La Calle. We had tacos there. Nice spot and the tacos are authentic. They have a taco bar where you can additional toppings or get sauces. Our last stop was Corbeau Wine Bar. I have wanted to visit them for a while and now was my chance. We had a wine sample then had a quick tour of the wine bar concept. It's pretty amazing because you can sample as many wines as possible (for a fee and depending on the ounces). A great way to try before you commit to buying a full bottle of wine. The price points were reasonable. Overall a great fun experience with friends with cool music playing while we traveled. We danced some and sang along to a few songs. This is definitely an experience you should try.

I was so caught up having fun that I didn't take many pictures and videos. At midnight, we had a toast to the new year of 2022! I definitely recommend you give this tour bus a try!
