Get Away From It All At This Remote And Beautiful Campground In Alabama

Published May 31, 2024

Just a half-hour's drive south of the state capital of Montgomery and four miles off of Interstate 65, you'll find a Heart of Dixie hideaway at Sherling Lake Park and Campground. Pull up your RV or pitch a tent and fish, birdwatch, and hike to your heart's content.  Even if only for a weekend, you will feel a world away from everything but beautiful nature at this picturesque campground in Greenville, Alabama.

When you're ready to escape in Central Alabama, there are 41 different spaces waiting for you at Sherling Lake Park. All have water and power and 30 also have sewer hookups.

Bass fishing in the two lakes is a big draw, and golfers will love the adjacent Cambrian Ridge, which is part of the esteemed Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. The family of Daniel M. Sherling and W.T. Smith Lumber Company donated the 300-acre property to the state in 1947 and opened three years later as part of an ongoing Alabama Department of Conservation initiative to increase public fishing lakes statewide.

If you want to drop a line, there is a fishing fee of around $4 for ages 16 and older. You also can rent boats with or without motors, as well as life jackets.

While fishing is a popular pastime at Sherling Lake, you don't have to be an angler to enjoy its beauty. The two lakes are connected by the Phillip Herring Walking Trail, which runs along the shore of both.

The park is part of the Alabama Birding Trails, which calls it "the best woodland migrant site available for miles." The overall birdwatching list here is long! Look for several different woodpeckers, flashy indigo buntings and blue grosbeaks, field sparrows, Eastern bluebirds, common yellowthroats, prairie warblers, hawks, wild turkeys, and many more.

Leashed pups are welcomed and a familiar sight around campsites and the trail.

A playground, pavilions, a small conference center, and a bathhouse round out the amenities. High ratings on guest review sites say the amenities are tidy and the staff is friendly and helpful, too.
