We camped at the Gunter Hill Campground in a Class B RV in late March, 2025. Administered by the…read moreU.S. Corps of Engineers, there is much to love about this campground. There are 142 camping sites, with those numbered 1-75 having been improved. Our site was waterfront on the backwaters of the Alabama River, which offered tranquil scenic views and entertainment as we watched boats pass. The setting was natural, with many trees. Our site was huge, with a long, flat, and paved pad. The site had a picnic table, and full hook-ups. As a federal campground, the prices ($30, with hookups) were reasonable, especially with a 50% discount ($15) for holders of the NPS Senior pass. The campground has a nice playground for the kids, and laundry facilities. Plus, it's in relatively close proximity to Montgomery.
One point off on my rating for two reasons -- (1) the campground is across the street from the Montgomery Motor Speedway. Unfortunately, there was a race on the evening when we were there, and there was a lot of noise from the racetrack although it did end before our sleep time. Otherwise, the campground would've been very peaceful. (2) the showers/restrooms are centralized, and quite a trek from our site.
We definitely recommend this campground, and would return if we visit Alabama again.
