Solomon's Garden

42 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents5 acres · Union, AL
We are currently *under construction*. Our forest was damaged by the draught and so there are changes underway. Please excuse our appearance as we shift toward becoming a food forest. Solomon's Garden is a 5 acre homestead located in the Black Warrior River valley. Our site is currently under land work construction, as we are recovering from the pine beetle disaster that has ravaged Alabama. Our beautiful pine trees are no more and we are in the process of rebuilding the campground, planting a food forest and adding an additional shower/toilet facility. We currently have a semi-private camping area in our small orchard that is flat and grassy that we recommend for tent campers on any day. We also have a larger, more remote camp area available on dry days. We expect land work to be complete in June and are eagerly awaiting the grass, wildflowers and native herbs to return following all this spring rain.

Dog-friendly camping in Alabama guide

Overview

No matter where in Alabama your travels take you, from Birmingham to the southern wilderness, chances are you can bring your pets. Dogs are welcome in most Alabama state parks and public areas, so long as theyre on a leash and dont stray off-trail. That means your leashed pooch is free to chase waterfalls in Bankhead National Forest, run through fall leaves in De Soto State Park, and splash along the surf in Gulf State Park. Some parks even offer dog-friendly cabin rentals for an extra fee, including Oak Mountain, Lake Guntersville, and Monte Sano. Though dogs are largely welcome throughout Alabama, pet owners should follow all rules and be respectful, keeping in mind that dogs are not allowed in swimming pools and might be banned on mixed-use trails for safety reasons.
