Heart of the Country

8 sites · RVs, Tents12 acres · Bay Minette, AL

Heart of the Country is our home and also your own personal twelve acre state park whenever you stay with us! We are less than 15 minutes from Interstate 10 and from Interstate 65. I offer a half-dozen campsites, all either on a relatively level paved driveway or grass. Power (20 amp and 30 amp) and water is available. We have two 30 amp campsites, which are first come, first served. WIFI is available! (please ask for password). We have a portable toilet for your use. This is a Longleaf Pine sanctuary with lots of nature trails. This is also a hobby farm with livestock (Donkey, two Goats, a Duck and a flock of Chickens). I feed the livestock grain every morning usually between 8 and 9 am, and again hay before dusk. You are always welcome to join me and I'll introduce all of them to you! My dog, Homer, is our very friendly welcoming ambassador who will enthusiastically great you upon your arrival. I put him up in his kennel each evening around dusk, then lock him in his shed until morning which keeps him from backing during the night. We also host an AirBnB, so other guests may be here as well. Texting via the app is our preferred mode of communication. If you call, please leave a message if I can't answer, and I will call you back. We are slowly updating the site photos. Use them only to determine your price, for example: A site with 30 amp power and water is $25 per night. A site with 20 amp power and water is $20 per night. A boondocking site (no power) is $15 per night. All sites have access to a porta-potty and water. Suggested local attraction: Blakeley State Historic Park is four miles away.

Dog-friendly camping in Alabama guide

Overview

No matter where in Alabama your travels take you, from Birmingham to the southern wilderness, chances are you can bring your pets. Dogs are welcome in most Alabama state parks and public areas, so long as theyre on a leash and dont stray off-trail. That means your leashed pooch is free to chase waterfalls in Bankhead National Forest, run through fall leaves in De Soto State Park, and splash along the surf in Gulf State Park. Some parks even offer dog-friendly cabin rentals for an extra fee, including Oak Mountain, Lake Guntersville, and Monte Sano. Though dogs are largely welcome throughout Alabama, pet owners should follow all rules and be respectful, keeping in mind that dogs are not allowed in swimming pools and might be banned on mixed-use trails for safety reasons.
