Anniston Army Depot RV Park

Very nice location but be sure and call first according to the host only one of the eight sites are for traveling visitors as the rest are for folks working on post. Very nice full hook ups on concrete pad. Train runs directly behind the campground but wasn't a problem for us. Carol the host is very helpful. She stated there is a plan to add more sites but no specific date yet. Food Outlet just off post covers most needs and gas is available just off post. AAFES Shoppette has class VI items and some basics open Monday - Saturday. Great deal for $12.00 if you can get in.

We have family in the Anniston area, so when we come up we try to stay here if they are not full. Never had any problems and Carol is the best. Our truck's engine blew up Thanksgiving 2009, and we had to purchase a new truck. Was not able to get the 5th wheel hitch until that Monday, there was no problem when I called to tell Carol we were not able to leave when planned. Campground is small but very clean and if I had to use the bath house there would be no problem, very clean and they have heat. Can't wait till they make the campground larger.

If you want peace and quit this is the place. This well maintained CG is a great place to stop when traveling threw or for a couple of weeks to catch up on those things to do on the rig. Large Camping World in Anniston. Things to do if you want to drive a bit. Talladega Super Speedway 15 miles, Birmingham 40 miles and Atlanta about a hour and a half. Super market just outside the gate and another about 3 miles away. Laundry is about 12 miles away. The on base shoppette has minor items. Security is high so expect to have your Vehicles and Rig searched every time you go threw the gate coming back on the depot. Value is great Water/ Sewer/ 50 amp / cable for $12.00 per day. Carol and Bob the camp hosts are very helpful.

This was my second visit to this park this summer, as I was on my way back east from the Texas Gulf coast. This is a hidden gem, small but friendly. If you are looking for quiet, inexpensive, but with easy access to I-20, try this little gem.

C.H. left this review: Great little new campground! Wonderful and helpful Campground Hosts! Sites have all hookups in lighted Pedestals at rear of large and level concrete pads. Sewer hookups are in the middle. Large 2 Vehicle asphalt parking pads in front of each RV pad with a picnic table. Bathhouse at end of campground is climate controlled but small with 3 Showers, 1 each: Toilet, Urinal and sink on the Men's side. Floor is currently plain concrete. The WiFi Router is on the Bathhouse, so the signal is little weaker at the other end of the campground, but acceptable. Sites are shaded and back up to woods but are very close together at not quite 20' apart. No on-site Washer or Dryer service but AAFES Shoppette is within walking distance as is a Club. Railroad is visible, nearby and trains are frequent. 4 of the 8 sites were available while I was there, however MWR has rental trailers they move in and out and some guests are there semi-permanently. Hosts advised "long-term" policy will evolve as use/demand grows, and expansion of campground too. Close to Talladega AL, Cheaha State Park with highest point in AL (45 minutes away), and Chief Ladiga Rails to Trails Path ending in Anniston AL (continues to GA Border and on to Smyrna GA as the Silver Comet Trail) - a great biking trail. To clarify the driving instructions for first time Visitors: Once you make the second right turn, after you pass the first large parking lot on your left, as you go downhill and past a narrow grass berm between that parking lot and what appears to be another parking lot, but that second "parking lot" is actually an unnamed street that runs IN Front of Bldg 221 that has perpendicular parking in front of it - which is where you need to turn LEFT (behind the parked cars if a workday). If you miss that turn like I did, the next street for the White (?) meeting retreat on the left leads to a parking lot that when empty is big enough to turn around in.

Great location for Mt. Cheaha State Park, Talladega Forest, Talladega Speedway, Speedway Hall of Fame and Logan Martin Lake. Pay close attention to the directions, especially the left turn right BEFORE bldg 221 or you will be unhooking your toad in order to turn your coach around. Signs are needed to guide campers into the facility. There is a turnaround at the bath house, a bit tight but manageable in my 42 foot MH. Nice setting, tall trees but enough openness to get satellite in most spots. Small park, only 8 spots, but as yet undiscovered, so there is availability. The hosts, the Browns, are wonderful, very friendly and helpful. The showers/restrooms are spartan but clean. There is a shoppette and club within walking distance of the campground. Be aware there is a CSX railroad at the edge of the campground. I didn't notice it, but others may be bothered. I planned on only staying 2 days, but stayed a week. Great weekly rate and monthly rates here. Overall, a good value if traveling along the I-20 corridor in NE Alabama. A great value if going to the Speedway for the Sprint Cup. I camped here in a motor home.
