It is important to note that there are two distinctly different camping facilities located on Redstone Arsenal - an RV Park and the Easter Posey campground.  The RV Park has 42 paved sites and can handle the largest of RV’s.  Easter Posey is located on the Tennessee River, highly wooded and RV’s over 30 feet are NOT recommended.  When speaking with Outdoor Recreation Personnel be certain you specify which facility you are discussing.  This article contains information about the RV Park.

We spent a week at Redstone Arsenal RV Park located near Huntsville, AL in late September 2010.  We called the Outdoor Recreation Office as we entered Alabama on I-65 traveling from the north.  The representative at Outdoor Rec took our registration information and gave us a site number so we would not have to stop at the office.   I would strongly recommend registering by phone; hours are 0930-1700 CST daily – (256) 876-4868.  The staff at Outdoor Rec makes it very convenient.   A sign will be posted at your site with your name, dates of stay and your receipt stapled to it. Reservations are permitted up to 60 days in advance.  Do not attempt to take your Motor home or trailer to Outdoor Rec Office; there simply isn’t room.    If you prefer to pay in person, park at the RV Park and then return in your toad or Tow Vehicle.   Rates are $20 per day, $120 per week or $480 per month.  There is also a self check-in box outside the bath house at the RV Park for after hour check-ins.  There is a Camp Host sign at the RV Park itself but we did not see anyone there during our stay.
