Chewacla State Park Campground
Reviewed Jul. 16, 2018

Avoid during football season

This is a great campground just off the interstate with great swimming, biking, and a waterfall. It has a lot of history related to Auburn University and is popular with students as well as past generations of students. But it continues to be a good family friendly destination. Flat campground with good services. We recently stayed in a cabin after staying in the campground years prior. The cabins are built by CCC and are lovely historic dwellings with great stone fireplaces and wood work. We were in cabin 2, the sofa bed needs to be replaced. The lake connector trail goes in front of the cabin but down the hill. On a Saturday in spring this trail is highly trafficked. The cabin comes with a flat bottom john boat but our was actually TAKEN after we unlocked it. The park rangers could care less when we reported it. The experienced mountain bike trail is just next to the cabins and is a great obstacle course for kids learning. The playgrounds are old and outdated but this can be a good thing to those nostalgic for swinging metal playgrounds. The concrete diving pier on the lake is a classic with an old school high dive. We were not there during football season for our second stay but it is very hard to get a cabin in the fall. It is a great family destination for the day or the weekend.
