Here are our top family-friendly Alabama RV destinations and the new inventory units built to take you there.

1. Wind Creek State Park & Lake Martin (Alexander City)

Located just a short drive from our Opelika lot on South Fox Run Parkway, Lake Martin is a premier destination for fishing, swimming, and watersports. Wind Creek State Park offers waterfront RV sites where the kids can fish right outside your door. • The Ideal Rig: Sunset Park RV travel trailers. As the only Sunset RV dealer in Alabama, RV Roadway offers exclusive access to these compact, lightweight models. They are easy to tow down state routes and fit seamlessly into woodsy waterfront campsites. • Family Highlights: Bunkhouse layouts give the kids their own cozy sleeping space, while power awnings and outdoor Bluetooth speakers turn your campsite into a lakefront paradise.

2. Oak Mountain State Park (Pelham)

Sitting right down the road from our Calera lot on County Road 87, Oak Mountain is Alabama’s largest state park. Offering mountain biking, cable waterskiing, a beach area, and horseback riding, it’s an action-packed destination for active families. • The Ideal Rig: Forest River RV Puma or Cherokee bunkhouse travel trailers. • Family Highlights: Features like outdoor kitchens with LP griddles, mini-fridges, and deep slide-outs mean you can feed a hungry crew after a long day on the hiking trails without heating up the cabin.

For stunning panoramic views and crisp mountain air, head to Cheaha State Park, the highest point in Alabama.
