About
Paul Grist State Park is located on a peaceful 1,080-acre lake surrounded by southern pines and hardwoods near Selma, Alabama. The park offers 11 modern RV campsites equipped with water, sewer, and 30/50-amp electrical hookups, each positioned to overlook the lake. For those preferring a more rustic experience, primitive tent camping sites are available at a lower rate. An ADA-accessible bathhouse is located near the campground and cleaned daily. Beyond camping, the park provides extensive recreational opportunities including 15-20 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails winding through the wooded landscape. The lake supports fishing for bass and bream, with boat rentals available on-site. A swimming beach offers warm-weather recreation, while picnic pavilions with barbecue grills accommodate day-use visitors and group gatherings. Reservations are made directly through the park office rather than Recreation.gov. Senior citizens (62+) and those with 100% disability status receive a 15% discount on camping fees, excluding holiday weekends.
Directions
Follow Alabama Highway 22 East from Selma. Signs lead directly to the park. Can also access via Dallas County Road 37 or Summerfield Road from Selma. Park address: 1546 Grist Road, Valley Grande, AL 36701.
