This is a small campground out in the woods behind the owners house. We had a 50 amp full hook-up at the top of the hill for our 34’ Travel Trailer. The road up to the site was a little washed out and steep - used 4 wheel drive - but we did ok. Campsites on the hill are huge … lots of room between other campers.

Campsites on the hill are huge … lots of room between other campers. There are few near the front that were side by side. Didn’t check out the bathhouse, but internet says there is one. Campground is about 6 miles off the highway. Owner was very kind and welcoming, price was right ($40) and it was very quiet and peaceful. Clear night with no nearby lights made it a great place for star gazing! Perfect place to stay overnight or for a few days!

Beautiful place, easy to get to. Geat access to the interstate and to shopping. We're visiting family in the area and found this Park. Reviews are great for good reason. Junior (owner) met us at the entrance, guided us to our site, and stayed till we had set up and made sure everything was as it should be. We have a 38' 5th wheel and had no trouble getting in and set up with full hook-ups. Satelli... Beautiful place, easy to get to. Geat access to the interstate and to shopping. We're visiting family in the area and found this Park. Reviews are great for good reason. Junior (owner) met us at the entrance, guided us to our site, and stayed till we had set up and made sure everything was as it should be. We have a 38' 5th wheel and had no trouble getting in and set up with full hook-ups. Satellite reception is off and on due to trees, but that's not a big deal for us. We did wake up to ants in the dog food bowl the first morning, but a quick trip to Walmart for ant killer cured that. I also sprayed around the jacks, wheels, and all hoses that touched the ground. Would definitely recommend this place! I've read most of the reviews for this place, and a couple of them gave low ratings. I'll say this...if you're looking for a crowded, recreation oriented "resort," this is not your place. On the other hand, you'll find full hookups, easy access, large sites that are well spaced, peace and quiet, beautiful country, and an owner that truly is kind and helpful. Roads are currently easily navigable after 2 days of rain.

We had a great experience here. The owner Junior was super friendly and helpful. The spot is off the road so you get privacy, peace and quiet. Nice area to do some walking. We have a 43’ RV and it was easy in and out. Beautiful woodsy area. Full hook ups.

Small campground owned by the nicest gentleman. Escorted us to our campsite after we arrived late in the evening. We were setup at camp within 5 minutes of arriving. Near Natural Bridges. Park accepts cash but no credit cards. Our site was only $30.00 for full hookups.

We absolutely love this place! I’ve stayed at a lot of RV parks over the years, and Scenic Drive RV Park & Campground is one of the most welcoming and well-run parks you’ll find! The owner and staff are some of the friendliest people you’ll meet, always ready to help, answer questions, and make you feel right at home. The sites are spacious, level, and easy to get into. Clean bathrooms and showers... We absolutely love this place!

Wonderful last minute stop between Atlanta and Birmingham. We called at 6pm tired from all day driving and the owner was so friendly on the phone and the hosts were ready when we pulled in. Ill be saving this one for a return stay. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great location and a great park. It is also one of the cleanest parks I have been to in a long time. Bathrooms and showers are also very clean.

Our Michigan based family of six stayed at the campground over Christmas break. We love to stay at state parks in Michigan and were hoping for a similar experience in Alabama. I’d say it was close to 80% retirees with very few children- which was fine for the most part. It did seem like tolerance for kids was about 50% with a general crankiness level.

We love to stay at state parks in Michigan and were hoping for a similar experience in Alabama. I’d say it was close to 80% retirees with very few children- which was fine for the most part. It did seem like tolerance for kids was about 50% with a general crankiness level. Some seemed to have a scowl on their faces when we passed or said hello. The bike trails were great and the park was kept in great shape with its pickleball courts, and bath houses. The park beaches and beach facilities were beautiful, as well as the pier. The nature center was awesome. On our trip down to Alabama, we spoke with someone who mentioned the state parks had increased their prices not long ago. Probably a reflection of that- but all of the campers seemed to be in tip top shape. We booked this state park due to its heated pool. With kids ages 1, 3, 5 and 9, swimming is a huge part of our vacations. Upon arriving, the pool was 64 degrees. We figured this was due to cold nights, and several park staff members confirmed this on separate occasions. On our third or fourth day there, we finally spoke to a staff member who told us that a pipe had broken and the heater wasn’t working, apparently the plumber was not answering. My kids still took quick dips in the pool, but it did not last long because they were so cold. I’m not sure if it was lack of communication or transparency, but I would have appreciated knowing that the heater wasn’t working. I probably would have booked another campground, or moved us somewhere else. Of note, our campsite had multiple fire ant hills, which I realize are a part of life here. Giving a rating of 3/5 for the campground due to generally heightened crankiness level of campers, and lack of communication regarding the pool heater being broken.

Great place to take the family!! We booked a cottage on the lake for the week and had a blast!! The service is top notch - great breakfast every morning was included, they refilled our firewood each day for that nights' campfire fun, fishing off the dock was fruitful and seeing all the wildlife was just a huge cherry on top!! Will definitely be back!!

The campground was nearly full when we were there the second week in June, but it didn't feel overcrowded. Our site was in the middle of the campground, and this gave us easy access to the pool, the lake, and the beach. The entire area is extremely well maintained and clean. The bathhouse was updated, very clean, and plenty of water pressure for a shower. We ended up adding an additional night, but we had to move sites as ours wasn't available. The campground manager allowed us to move to the new site as soon as the previous tenants left which gave us more time at the beach. The bike and walking paths and trails are beautiful, and our ride to the beach was less than 2 miles. This was our first beach trip in our camper, so the bar has been set pretty high for future trips.

We parked across the highway at the beach. It was $10 for the day. We walked across the pedestrian bridge that goes over the highway. That was pretty cool. Then there was a long elevated board walk that we traversed before crossing a bridge over the canal into the campground. Miles of cleared trails through wooded and marshy areas. Very nice place to visit, it was a cloudy rainy day in early March... We parked across the highway at the beach. It was $10 for the day.

Very nice place to visit, it was a cloudy rainy day in early March. I would love to go back during summer! Only real complaint was a lack of trash receptacles, even in the campground. I've heard this is a good place to see gators, and it is not uncommon to see venomous snakes.
