Camping near Sterrett, Alabama
Sterrett is a small community in Shelby County, Alabama, positioned between Birmingham and the Talladega National Forest. It sits within easy driving distance of Logan Martin Lake to the east and Oak Mountain State Park to the west, giving RV travelers a base for lake days, forest hikes, and short trips into the Birmingham metro.
Oak Mountain State Park is Alabama's largest state park, spread across roughly 11,861 acres. The campground offers a mix of RV sites with hookups, tent sites, and 10 fully equipped cabins, and the park anchors most RV trips in the area thanks to its trail network, lakes, and beach access.
Smaller and more specialized options round out the choices nearby. Logan Landing RV Resort and Cabins and Safe Harbor RV Park both sit on Logan Martin Lake, Kymulga Grist Mill and Park offers a historic creekside setting near Childersburg, and Angler's Pointe adds another lake-oriented stop. Together they cover everything from full-service resort stays to quiet, tree-shaded creek sites.
Things to do around Sterrett
Oak Mountain State Park packs in an 18-hole championship golf course, a BMX track, marina and Flipside Watersports rentals, an archery range, two swimming beaches, several fishing lakes, the Alabama Wildlife Center, and horseback riding facilities. Trails cover more than 50 miles, ranging from short family walks to long mountain-bike loops, and Peavine Falls is a popular hike.
On the water, Logan Landing RV Resort and Cabins sits on wooded acreage along Logan Martin Lake, and Safe Harbor RV Park offers direct lake access with a boat launch. Bass, bream, catfish, and crappie fishing on Logan Martin is a major draw.
For a change of pace, Kymulga Grist Mill and Park pairs camping with a working Civil War-era mill, a covered bridge over Talladega Creek, and shaded hiking trails. Talladega Superspeedway, Barber Motorsports Museum, and downtown Birmingham attractions are all within an hour.

Central Alabama has a humid subtropical climate. Summers are hot and humid, winters are cool, rainfall is spread fairly evenly through the year with spring typically the wettest season, and occasional light snowfall occurs in winter. Spring and fall are the most comfortable stretches for RV camping, with mild days and cool nights.
Peak season at Oak Mountain State Park runs from March through October, with beach concessions and canoe, kayak, and boat rentals available only over the summer. The park and campgrounds stay open year round, so winter visits mean minimal crowds, though temperatures can dip close to freezing. Weekends fill quickly from late spring through Labor Day.
Severe weather is a real planning factor. Spring brings the highest tornado risk in Alabama, and summer afternoons often produce thunderstorms. Fall generally offers the driest, most stable weather. Winter stays are quiet, but expect some cold snaps and check park amenity hours before booking.
How to book campgrounds near Sterrett
Oak Mountain State Park accepts reservations up to about a year in advance, either online through the Alabama State Parks reservation portal at reserve.alapark.com or by phone with the park office. Campground check-in is 2 PM. Weekends require a two-night minimum, major holidays require a three-night minimum, and holiday weekends must be reserved at least three months ahead.
Private parks handle bookings directly. Logan Landing RV Resort and Cabins and Safe Harbor RV Park both accept reservations by phone or through their websites, and Kymulga Grist Mill and Park is booked through the mill's office in Childersburg. Weekends around Talladega Superspeedway race dates sell out early at every lake property, so lock in dates as soon as the race schedule is published.
What to expect on arrival
Oak Mountain has 84 RV sites and 66 tent sites plus 10 fully equipped cabins, with a mix of full and partial hookups, seven bathhouses near Beaver Lake, and a camp store stocking basics and firewood. Cell reception is spotty in the campground, and Wi-Fi is available at the golf pro shop rather than throughout the park.
Lake parks lean toward full-hookup, back-in style sites. Safe Harbor RV Park sites include water, sewer, and 30 or 50-amp service, and the park is best suited to self-contained RVs.
Kymulga Grist Mill and Park offers 12 RV sites with electric and water hookups in a wooded setting, with walking trails and campsites near Talladega Creek. Expect a rustic, quiet experience with basic facilities rather than resort amenities, and note that the access road crosses railroad tracks on a gravel drive.
