Camping at Gunter Hill near Montgomery

Public campground · Montgomery · 140 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreation at Gunter Hill centers on the river: a boat ramp gives easy access to Catoma Creek and the Alabama River for boating, water sports and abundant fishing for crappie, bass and catfish. For hunters and wildlife watchers, the nearby Lowndes Wildlife Management Area spans roughly 12,500 acres and provides prime hunting for deer, turkey and hogs as well as opportunities for waterfowl and small-game pursuits; birding and wildlife viewing are strong here year-round.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (67,307 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
