Major renovations are underway right now at the campgrounds in Oak Mountain State Park in Birmingham, Ala. The park is renovating over 150 campsites, according to WBRC.
The campground at Oak Mountain State Park was built back in the early 1970s, and park leaders say for the last 50 years there haven’t been any major improvements because they haven’t had the money.
However, that changed in May 2022 as Alabamians voted for a bond issue giving $80 million for state parks. Oak Mountain is now receiving a portion of that money and is using it to make improvements to several areas of the park.
Visitors will see new bathrooms, a check-in station, electrical and plumbing upgrades, a new playground for kids and a dog park at the campgrounds.
