The best camping near Lake Lurleen State Park guide

Overview

About

With everything from an 18-hole golf course to 23 miles of trails, it looks like you're going to have to take a few more "sick" days off work than planned. Lake Lurleen State Park brings together the best of resort vacationing and outdoor trekking, whether you're interested in boating around the 250-acre lake or just lying out on the beach. Grill up some fresh-caught largemouth bass for dinner, or head on over to the dining room. Conveniently located near the towns of Tuscaloosa and Northport, you can party down at the University of Alabama campus or check out one of the art festivals come fall time. How many days can you take off, again?
