Brian G. - 22 October 2025
We were going to be in the area for 1 night for a couple of meetings on the following day. There was no way I was going to be able to get done by the 11 am checkout, but they worked with me so that I could have a few more hours. We were in the East lot and pull-throughs were very easy to navigate. Power, water, and sewer were conveniently located. Area was very clean with no "run-down" looking campers. I did walk the dog over to the main lot and all campers there were also well maintained. There is a large grass area along the road for walking the dog and pet waste stations are provided. There is a little interstate noise, but it was not noticeable at all to us, about like being on the backside of a large rest area. We will definitely stay here again. ... Read more

Just an over night stop while traveling. We stayed in East lot which was very easy access from interstate 59. Very level, asphalt pad with full hook ups. Only used electric. A little pricey but was easy to book and no check in. Would stop here again. ... Read more

For what we wanted, an overnight stop, this was perfect. We were able to book last minute. Right off the highway, lots of gas stations and restaurants Sites were long, even and asphalt pads and easy to park in. Pull through were buddy sites but nicely offset so the door did not face each other. Full hook ups were well layed out, easy to reach and clean. The good point about buddy sites is that you dont have your neighbors sewer hoses in your face. I will definately use this again passing through if i need a stop over. For those looking for a resort, this is not for you. ... Read more

The site I was given at the end of 1300 mile trip to see my child at ua was not the agreement that was made on the phone. Site 5, was given us for the week, is a site on the end turn with no sod grass. Neighbors drove thru the cement pad to get their trucks around the campground. We were told upon checkin to take it up with management at begining of workweek- 2 days later. We paid the weekly rental rate. When we asked for a refund as we were leaving the staff admitted to having made a mistake upon booking and entering reservation into the computer, but refused a refund due to policy of not refunding decreased weekly rate. I was very disappointed as we had stayed here before and used their monthly storage this winter. Very bad way to treat a good returning customer. Buyer beware.---- Addendum added 2-25-25: I received a phone call by owner Cody who after viewing review went thru the incident with his staff and office tapes. Mr Cody listened attentively and respectfully. He apologized for mistake, told me where and how things went wrong, and refunded my week stay and offered another week for another time free stay on him. We discussed saftey issue with sire 5 and he seemed interested in my issues of lack of space forcing others to drive thru cement pad. He said he would look into ways of addressing it. Iam impressed with professional way of handling my concerns. ... Read more

We've parked our RV at Sunset RV 2 times when visiting family in Alabama and love it. It's right off the highway, close to all the stores, facilities are clean, folks are friendly, very satisfied and will be back again. Thank you for all your hospitality. ... Read more

A very nice overnight stop off 20/59. Well lit. All utilities were excellent. Nice flat sites. Felt safe the entire visit. We had to extend due to RV problems, they were very helpful and accommodating. Would stay again if we pass through this area. ... Read more
