Walker County and Smith Lake
As the Walker County seat, Jasper sits about 13 miles south of Clear Creek Recreation Area, which lists 102 RV campsites on Lewis Smith Lake. We list Jasper as a service town, about 86 road miles from Thorsby.
General information. Every situation is different, so call us about yours.
Jasper is about 86 road miles from our base in Thorsby, which is far for a mobile service. For that reason we treat Jasper as a town to talk through rather than a promise. Call 205-955-3054 and tell us the problem and where the RV is parked, and we will say whether and when a visit can work. Cullman is about 41 road miles from Jasper.[1]
Start with what you can see: a dirty return filter, blocked airflow around the unit, or a camper parked in full sun. Many owners find a roof air conditioner works hardest on humid afternoons, so a unit that cools in the morning and fades later is worth a closer look. If the compressor will not start or the unit freezes over, call us and describe what you see.
Our work happens at a driveway, campsite or storage lot, so a campground can be a possible place to meet, but the distance from Thorsby is long, so call first. A campground may have its own rules about outside service, so check with the Forest Service or whoever runs the place where you are parked. Fees and openings are theirs to confirm.[4]
It depends on what you run and how long you stay. The Forest Service lists electric hookups at every Clear Creek site, but a spot with limited power leans on your batteries, charge controller, wiring and any panels. We can look over that setup, and the size you need depends on your appliances, so tell us what you run when you call.[4]
It is a sensible habit. Summer storms and tropical-storm rain can find a weak spot around vents, skylights, seams and sealant lines, and a small leak often shows up first as a stain or soft spot inside. Look the roof over when it is dry, and call us if you find cracked sealant or a stain so we can talk through next steps.
Jasper is the county seat of Walker County, in north-central Alabama. The Forest Service describes Clear Creek Recreation Area, the largest recreation area in the Bankhead National Forest, as sitting on the shore of Lewis Smith Lake about 13 miles north of Jasper. The Encyclopedia of Alabama calls the lake an Alabama Power reservoir of about 21,000 acres.[2,3,4]
Our only base is in Thorsby, about 86 road miles from Jasper, which is a long haul for a mobile service. For that reason we do not treat a Jasper visit as a given. Call 205-955-3054, tell us what is wrong and where the RV is parked, and we will talk through whether and when a visit can work.[1]
If your camper spends summers at the lake, hot afternoons put a heavy load on a roof air conditioner, and strong summer or tropical-storm rain is a good reason to look over roof seams and vents. Those are general points rather than local findings, so treat them as a checklist for your own rig.
The Forest Service places Clear Creek Recreation Area on the shore of Lewis Smith Lake, about 13 miles north of Jasper.[4]
Clear Creek lists 102 RV campsites, and the Forest Service says each one has water and electric hookups at 30 and 50 amp.[4]
Lewis Smith Lake is an Alabama Power reservoir created in 1961 that covers about 21,000 acres.[3]
A state wildlife agency page lists the Walker County Public Fishing Lake at 163 acres, about 3 miles southeast of Jasper off U.S. 78, and notes it was closed for renovation, so check its status first.[6]
U.S. 78 runs east and west through the middle of Walker County and connects it to Birmingham, and Interstate 22 links the county to Jefferson and Marion counties.[3]

Call 205-955-3054 and tell us what is wrong and where the RV is parked. Our work is done at a driveway, campsite or storage lot, and we can then discuss whether a Jasper visit is possible, and when.
