Creekside Camp near Hurricane Park!

Super nice host. I have already re-booked. Campsite is primitive, but spacious. No power or water at the site, but the host offered to let me use his water at the house if I needed it. Feels safe. The site is in a subdivision, and is a short drive away from food and grocery stores, as well as the University of Alabama. One thing to note is that the site is at a lower elevation than the road, so pack lightly to minimize the trips back up the hill. Awesome customer service!

It’s a beautiful spot, and the host pays a lot of attention to it. It’s what might be called semi-remote, because it’s completely tucked away and private, but at the same time, the residential neighborhood is just over the rise on both sides. The frogs and whatnot are quite exuberant at night—which is delightful—but you still hear the odd pickup with undersized mufflers or a few trains. So this is a great spot for someone who likes the reassurance that civilization is not too far away. We slept very well.
