St. Stephens Historical Park

What sets St. Stephens Historical Park Campground apart is its extraordinary blend of rich history, recreational variety, and scenic tranquility. Located in southwest Alabama along the Tombigbee River, this 200-acre park invites visitors to explore the ruins of Alabama's original territorial capital while enjoying diverse activities like hiking over 15 miles of trails, fishing, and swimming in a stunning 70-acre quarry lake with a sandy beach.

The campground offers a range of accommodations, including over 40 RV sites with full hookups, primitive lakeside camping spots, and 9 cabins, making it suitable for weekend getaways or extended stays. Unique features such as an 18-hole disc golf course, horseback riding, and access to boating on both the lake and river add to the appeal. Privacy varies, with options for shaded, secluded sites or those near amenities like the bathhouse.

Just two miles northwest of the present-day town of St. Stephens, the park is a haven for history enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers, and bird watchers alike. Its archaeological significance, complemented by family-friendly recreation, makes this campground a destination truly where Alabama's history and natural beauty converge.
