About this campground

Moundville Archaeological Park in Moundville Alabama offers full hookup RV and tent camping in a shaded setting on the grounds of an archeological site. Occupied from around A.D. 1000 until A.D. 1450, is a large settlement of Mississippian culture on the Black Warrior River in central Alabama. At the time of Moundville's heaviest residential population, the community took the form of a three hundred-acre village built on a bluff overlooking the river.

What campers say

Moundville Archaeological Park features large, striking Native American earthen mounds and strong river views—the main mound is notably tall. The grounds are pleasant for walking, with signage, brochures, replica structures, a gift shop and a small museum. Museum displays and on-site artifacts are limited and some exhibits are restricted for cultural reasons, so visitors seeking deep archaeological detail may be disappointed. A few mounds have stairs that can be climbed while others are off-limits. Staff are reported as helpful and admission is affordable. Take insect repellent in warmer months. Overall, a worthwhile stop if you're in the area.
