Camping at Alabama WMU Camp is always a tremendous experience; swing by Stinking Creek it's a perfect spot to pop by. If you came to camp Holiday Travel Park is a delightful spot to do that, and if you've had enough of Queenstown Lake, Mountain Lake is close by. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Cahaba River, and if you need a location to stay Courtyard Birmingham Trussville is a glorious
