Awesome Campground

The campground is surrounded by creeks, rivers, and hunting land owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. I had a wonderful experience there along with friendly staff. They kept the bathrooms and showers clean.

Frosty January camping

Isaac Creek campground is very well laid out. All of the campground's staff are friendly, helpful, and just pleasant to work with. I stayed on site 45 which had an electrical problem, on going for several months, and although no one could come fix it the weekend I was here, they offered to immediately move me to an open site. The bathhouse was very clean, Can't ground and common grounds were also well kept. The marine museum is closed, looks like permanently. Overall this was a very clean pleasant campground to visit and would recommend it.

Cell data not so good, ended up being a 1 nighter

Arrived on Friday. Looked similar to others I had started at (and we have done plenty COE) Maybe the rain or something. Site has not been cleaned after previous campers. Trash bin at each site, was overflowing. Broken camping table left by previous also, still there. Maybe that’s the penalty for arriving on a long weekend. Would have given it the benefit of the doubt, but T-mobile and Verizon 5G both downscaled to 4G. Download ok, but upload sucked.

Hostess was friendly and real helpful.

Corps of Engineers Campground on the Alabama River with on site host. Well maintained facilities and plenty of retirees who found a good deal. Very long and wide paved sites. Room for large fifth wheel or motor coach plus a vehicle. Lots of fishing boats as well.

Almost perfect

So good. Everything was great, people v friendly. Cell service was spotty at best. 40m from nearest grocery store, so come prepared.

Right on the River

We arrived late to the campground, super friendly campground hosts were more than happy to accomodate us. The campground was clean and tucked away behind trees. Lots of privacy and we even had our own pier out to the water behind our campsite. Would definitely recommend planning ahead because there are no shops anywhere near the vicinity and forgetting something will cost you a good 30 min drive. Looking forward to coming back!

Tiny site along the river, middle of nowhere

You need a boat to enjoy this area, though there are a few sports courts to enjoy while camping. There is a small historic museum and some restaurants and stores about 15 miles away. Simple but clean amenities. All the sites are close to the water, most are quite shady.

Yay: nice wooded campsites with good privacy.

Nay: no complaints but nothing too special. Definitely can flood. Shower house is completely lacking privacy.

Surprise: amazing friendly camp hosts, loved the rocking chairs along the water in the day use area.
