Alabama State Parks does not publish a static per-night rate on this park's own pages - its Itinio reservation system (reserve.alapark.com) uses live, date-based dynamic pricing. Check the reservation link for current rates. Pets are allowed at Alabama State Parks, subject to statewide policy: "Pets are always welcome, but may not be left unattended while visiting or staying in an Alabama State Park" and "Dogs must always be on a leash, unless indicated otherwise."
