Bells Landing

Managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Bells Landing provides both drive-in and boat-in access along Alabama's waterways. The campground accommodates RVs up to 20 feet and offers tent camping with designated pads, though recent visitors report maintenance issues with leaf-covered sites making tent areas difficult to locate. Basic amenities include drinking water, restrooms, picnic tables, fire rings, and trash service, with one bathroom facility serving the entire campground.

Campers can access hiking trails from the site and utilize the boat ramp, which remains in good condition according to recent reports. The campground tends to stay relatively uncrowded, though cleanliness and upkeep have declined in recent years. For additional camping options in the region, explore campgrounds near Camden.

Needs maintenance

I was driving through and hoped to find a beautiful campground to come visit. However the campground needed maintenance and a good cleaning. The boat ramp is still in good condition, but the campsites were covered in leaves and I couldn’t even see the tent pads. If this had been updated, it would be a nice quiet park.

Great area!

My family and I visited Alabama a few years ago while on a family reunion. We decided to do some camping the last 2 nights we were visiting. We stayed here, and really enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the tent area, and just set up 2 tents (there was 4 of us). The campsite fit both tents, had a table and fire ring. We spent the evening around the campsite roasting marshmallows. The place we stopped at ran out of chocolate and crackers, so we only had mallows. It was still super yummy. Bring your own so this doesn’t happen to you :). The campground was clean, although there was only 1 bathroom. It didn’t smell very good, so we were pleased that we weren’t close to the bathroom for that reason! Kinda felt bad for the people who had campsites near the bathrooms. Also, we really appreciated that there was a dumpster onsite as well. I think this helps with keeping the place clean. We found a hike to do in the morning and it was great. For my first visit to Alabama, I definitely enjoyed it and hopefully it won’t be my last!
