The campground at Moundville Archaeological Park is located in a wooded area on the southwest side of the park. One can walk from the campground to visit the Mounds. Date of visit: Apr 2010 |
 |
We pulled into the campground about 11 AM on a Thursday morning and had no problem finding a site. Check-in is at the Visitors Center. Upon prcoeeding to the campground itself, only three of the 29 sites were taken. We selected site 7 for its mix of sun and shade. It also offered a view across a field towards the mounds. |
 |
Sites are not particularly well-defned, other than by the utility post. You're free to park however you like. Most sites seemed reasonably level, but we did use our leveling jacks to trim it up a bit. Here are sites 11 (in foreground) and 13 (the small trailer). |
 |
Sites 15-13. Railroad tracks are located near the Visitors Center and we saw/heard several trains during our stay. |
 |
Site 16 is on the inside of the loop road. |
 |
Site 24 is a back-in site. |
 |
Site 24 is also a back-in site. Through the trees you can see the Black Warrior River. |
 |
Sites 29-31 are a little more open and close to the bathhouse, which is just to the left. |
 |
The sunniest sites are 3, 4 and 6. |
 |
The bathhouse is pretty basic and is need of a sprucing up. It was reasonably clean and the free showers were hot. It is not heated and is closed from 1 December to 1 March. |
 |
Twenty-eight flat-topped earthen pyramids were built on 326 acres, centered around a large central plaza. Click here for some more pictures of the mounds area. |
