Campground volunteers (Kay, Anna, John, Tracy) were helpful in finding a great spot, Alabama hospitality, feeding the deer, just great crew! The facilities were spotless. Laundry available. The campsite we had on the water was tucked upto the lake- deer roam the property. It’s clean in the park would highly recommend! Has, food, grocery, wineries, brewery, all near by.

Upon arrival we were impressed. People seemed friendly and she said we could ride through first to pick a tent campsite. We didn’t like number 50 after reserving over the phone, there was no privacy whatsoever with everyone packed like sardines in their rvs and one person had a BLOW UP BOUNCY HOUSE for their children.

People seemed friendly and she said we could ride through first to pick a tent campsite. We didn’t like number 50 after reserving over the phone, there was no privacy whatsoever with everyone packed like sardines in their rvs and one person had a BLOW UP BOUNCY HOUSE for their children. After we picked a nice campsite away from everyone else, she THEN decided to disclose that the entire section on the east side of the park was closed. That would have been something to say up front. We settled for site 72. Bathrooms were nice and clean. When the reviews tell you that the paper mill stinks and is loud, it literally does smell TERRIBLE, like what I would think the Chernobyl chemical explosion site smelled like. And then the noise ALLL NIGHT LONG. It sounds like banging metal and reverse vehicle beeping constantly. We couldn’t leave quick enough the next morning, and even began feeling nauseous from the burning plastic smell. And my god…the dumpster area and camp areas all around smelled like an actual death camp. We tossed our trash as fast as we could, gagging our way to freedom outside of that campground. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend.

We had fun. The bathrooms, showers and laundry rooms were all clean. We got to see gators. The sites are hit or miss on size and privacy. Our site was huge but there was a site super close to the back of us. It didn't affect us since we were the only campers in our loop. We had water side but didn't really have good access to the water to put kayaks in but several other sites did. Bring mosquito... We had fun. The bathrooms, showers and laundry rooms were all clean.

We wouldn't mind staying there again though.

The only reason not 5 stars is I couldn't get to the water easily. We were in #78. Beautiful. Some choice ones with a better water view and on the main part of the river were 60, 61 and 62.

It's a beautiful place. Trying to get down the hill to fish on site # 57. Is rough I fell and hurt my knee. And after I got to fish. It wasn't worth the one catfish I did catch. With the 20 rigs.i went threw. $ 50.00 worth of sinkers. Eagle claw 3oz. $ 5 + pac. Of 2 team cat fish 5 hooks. Plus barrel swivels. I'm thinking it's a racket. They put a big rope out their about 25-30 ft.... It's a beautiful place. Trying to get down the hill to fish on site # 57. Is rough I fell and hurt my knee. And after I got to fish.

But mabe there is a better spot .near by Not to mention these darn ANTS 🐜 me and the wife have bite marks all over us . They done took over our new Brinkley. We've never had bug problems before .
