Bladon Springs State Park

Four mineral springs containing sulfur, iron, magnesium, and calcium form the centerpiece of this 357-acre natural area in western Alabama.

The springs opened as a health resort in 1838, later featuring a grand Greek Revival hotel that accommodated 200 guests until it burned down in 1938.

The mineral waters established this location as a prominent Southern health destination, leading to its recognition as the Saratoga of the South.

The park provides ten campsites equipped with water, 30-amp electricity, and sewer connections, available for twenty dollars per night plus local taxes.

One original spa pavilion remains standing over the main spring, where visitors can still access the mineral-rich waters that first attracted people to this location.
