Birmingham South Campground - Pelham, Alabama (June 2019)

Our first impression of the Birmingham South Campground was that it was formerly a KOA property. It had the look and feel of a KOA. 

We weren’t able to ask any employees about the campground's past because we arrived after the office closed and left before it opened the next day. 

We were traveling without reservations and tried to get a night in several state parks only to find out they were full. We used the AllStays app on our iPhone to locate Birmingham South and we were glad when they said they had space for us. Since we would arrive after the office closed, our reservation and receipt were on the late arrival board next to the office. 

We weren’t the only late arrival that evening. A motor home pulled in ahead of us and there were several other reservations posted on the late arrival board after we picked up our information. 

We were very tired as we pulled into our site. We quickly connected Rosie, our 25 foot Airstream trailer, to the utilities, walked the dog and got ready for bed. 

Here are some specifics about this campground:
  • Our site was a pull thru
  • Our site was gravel and required a few leveling tools 
  • Our site had 20, 30 and 50 amp electrical service 
  • Our site had a water connection 
  • Our site had a sewer connection 
  • Our site had a cable TV connection 
  • The park had WiFi service. We were not there long enough to use it
  • AT&T placed four bars of 4G service over our site for voice and data 
  • The park had clean restrooms and showers 
We were up early the next morning and on the road again. We wonder how the campground looks in the daylight.
