MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Alabama State Parks System has overnight accommodations available at several parks as thousands of Floridians and others evacuate in the advance of the landfall of Hurricane Irma, including Lakepoint State Park in Eufaula.

As of midday Friday, only Rickwood Caverns State Park in Warrior and Meaher State Park in Spanish Fort were already at full capacity.

Dry camping – camping in self-contained recreational vehicles/campers that do not require hook-up of any kind – will also be allowed in state parks’ parking lots. Each RV must have its own clean water supply, although campers will be allowed to fill tanks at the parks’ nearest available source. RVs must also be able to contain all wastewater (gray and black) with no emptying of any wastewater tank onto the ground, but owners may use park dumping stations.

All rooms will also be made pet-friendly for evacuees. The normal pet cleaning fee will apply.
