Birmingham South RV Park - Birmingham, Alabama (June 2026)

We stayed in this park seven years ago. Last time we arrived as it was getting dark and left before sunrise. We didn't have an opportunity to actually "see" this campground. This time we arrived in the early afternoon and actually got to see the park.

This was an independent park, but it had the look and feel of a KOA campground.

We were surprised at the nightly rate of this campground. I guess we are used to camping in Corps of Engineers parks, state parks and military FamCamps where the camping fees are more reasonable. 
I guess because we questioned their fee structure, we were assigned a 30 amp only site, which was cheaper than 50 amp sites.

Our first Airstream trailer was a 30 amp unit, so we know how to do 30 amp math. For example, you cannot run the air conditioner and the microwave at the same time because you will exceed 30 amps and blow a fuse. The AC units on Rosie are more efficient than our earlier RV and we decided to experiment by running one AC and the microwave at the same time. It was working until the electric hot water heater turned on and blew the circuit breaker. We switched off the hot water heater and I went outside to reset the breaker. I think 50 amp Rosie has spoiled us.

Since we arrived in the early afternoon, we had time to walk around and look at the park. Our verdict was this is a really nice and well maintained park. We were glad we stayed in the Birmingham South RV Park. 

We noticed that several campers near us followed our lead and didn't unhitch. That told us we were not the only people spending the night there while on the road. 

We got up a little after 4 am the next morning, dumped our black and gray tanks and disconnected the utilities. We quietly left the park and were on the road before 5 am. Our goal was to be home before the heat of the day.
