About
Oak Mountain State Park is an Alabama State Park offering camping near Pelham. Alabama's largest state park (11,861 acres). Publishes site categories (RV full-hookup, RV water/electric-only, primitive tent, 9 pull-through sites, 12 equestrian sites) but no park-wide campsite total, so total/electric/water/no-hookup counts are left unknown rather than guessed. Coordinate is the OSM-mapped campground area, ~4.9 km from the park office/entrance address used for address/phone.
Fees
Alabama State Parks does not publish a static per-night rate on this park's own pages - its Itinio reservation system (reserve.alapark.com) uses live, date-based dynamic pricing. Check the reservation link for current rates. Pets are allowed at Alabama State Parks, subject to statewide policy: "Pets are always welcome, but may not be left unattended while visiting or staying in an Alabama State Park" and "Dogs must always be on a leash, unless indicated otherwise." (alapark.com/rules-and-regulations, confirmed live.)
