Why not camp at City of Hoover RV Park since you're here at Catfish Lake, and if you need a place to stay Oak Mountain Lodge is a great choice. Catfish Lake sees pretty high levels of rain; through March this area sees the most rain, and the driest month of the year is October. If you came for an overnight stay Pelham Koa Kampground is a great location to camp; there are some pleasant whitewater spots on Yellowleaf Creek - North Fork. Whohoo, so many exciting
