We're inviting you to connect and grow at our outdoor campground service every Sunday.
For many campers, a wandering and adventurous lifestyle makes it challenging to attend regular church.
But at Wheeler Lake KOA, against the beautiful backdrop of all of God's amazing nature, we've got an outdoor chapel service every Sunday @ 10 am.
All are welcome – it's a non-denominational gathering for praise, scripture, prayer, and coffee. Come & meet your fellow campers.

Overnight Campers: Free
Day Guests: Adults $5 / Kids $4
Alabama's oldest and largest hot air balloon rally is being held this May 28-29, 2022
The Alabama Jubilee features sixty balloons from around the US. Visitors are encouraged to come out for the day to see these magnificent flying machines in action and are allowed to freely walk among the balloons.
Held annually over the Memorial Day Weekend (late May), pilots from across the U. S. gather to compete in various races. This free event lets visitors mingle with the pilots as they inflate and launch their seven story tall balloons. Races are held daily at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. In addition to the balloon races, the festival features live entertainment, arts and crafts show, antique car show, antique tractor and engine show, and an international food court. Saturday night features the “balloon glow” and fireworks on Sunday night.
