Really enjoyed this campground. Was peaceful, enjoyed the barge traffic on the river. We didn't fish this trip, but the campers next to us fished daily and caught some nice catfish. Not a lot of campers in the park, sites are FHU which is nice as many COE campgrounds in AL don't have FHU.

Excellent place to go camping with view of the river and tugboats passing by frequently!

We love going to this campground. The spots are spaced out enough to make it feel like you have your own "yard" and some privacy. The bath houses are normally clean. The only negative I can say about Pickensville is that we wished the bath houses had A/C. We have met some great people from all over while we have been there too.

Spent 3 nights here at the end of August, and definitely enjoyed it. The hosts were extremely gracious and helpful. Thanks to them, we took a bike ride over to the lock/dam. Truly enjoyed the scenery and the exercise. There were sections of the Campground that were fairly deserted, and we were surprised by that. It really is a great place.

Thanks to them, we took a bike ride over to the lock/dam. Truly enjoyed the scenery and the exercise. There were sections of the Campground that were fairly deserted, and we were surprised by that. It really is a great place. Our site, Number 114, was ok, though we were a bit disappointed that there was so much growth between us and the river. As a result, it's not what we would consider a water view site. Before we checked out on Monday, we saw the housekeeping and landscaping crews come by to keep everything in order. We didn't use the bath house since our site had full hook ups, but checked it out and found it to be fine for those who might want or need to use it. It's only a few minutes to a nearby town where you can find a Dollar General in case you forgot to pack something. Overall, we enjoyed our time there, and will definitely go again.

I don’t think there’s a “bad” site in the park! Huge back yards, plenty of play space. Something to see and explore everywhere. Excellent for biking and walking. Several FHU sites and riverfront sites with active traffic- barges, fishing boats and leisure craft. Several active and accessible camp hosts. All sites are pretty level. Few nearby attractions and shopping.
