Within the Black Warrior and Tombigbee Lakes area, Jennings Ferry operates as a US Army Corps of Engineers campground offering year-round access to the Black Warrior River. The entrance requires careful navigation, as campers report a steep turn that can cause RVs to bottom out. Sites accommodate rigs up to 168 feet with electric and water hookups, though full hookups are not available.
The campground features paved sites with several positioned directly along the riverbank. Site 36 includes a large deck overlooking the water, while site 13 allows fishing directly from the campsite. A playground sits centrally located for families with children. Campers consistently note the cleanliness of the facilities and the helpfulness of the on-site hosts. The boat ramp provides direct river access for those arriving by water.
"We pulled in after dark so we couldn't see much at first," notes one camper, who extended their planned one-night stay to three nights. The walking trail loops through the campground, connecting riverside sites with interior camping areas. Roebuck Landing restaurant operates within one mile, while a small store with essentials sits nearby and a full supermarket is seven miles away.
Jennings Ferry works well for RV campers seeking river access and fishing opportunities, particularly those comfortable navigating the challenging entrance road and willing to manage without sewer hookups.
