Lenoir Landing

Our second trip here. We came last April and hammock camped at the same location in #3. This year we have a popup and closer the site with the absolute best views of sunset and sunrise right on the bank of the Tombigbee. The river is much higher than last year due to the recent storms which makes it even more magnificent. Cell phone coverage is still marginal at best but useable for basic data needs. Att is ok, Verizon is marginal, and T-Mobile is emergency calls only.

The are is quiet and gorgeous. Picnic tables rough at the site. I have a cassette toilet, so the “outhouse “ was a perfect spot to empty. My two little dogs loved it.

For the price(free) it's not too bad. The primitive toilet definitely doesn't feel like home and it seems the litter bugs abound but it's super quiet and peaceful. Campsites right on the rivers bluff. Laying in my hammock I can look out over the water while listening to the sounds of nature. Small boat launch seems pretty active. The trash bins are full and would benefit from being emptied more often. About half a dozen usable primitive sights that seem to be free and first come first served. No employees, attendants, or camp host have been discovered. There seem to be several campsites that are missing amenities. The usable sites have a parking space, gravel tent pad, picnic table, fire ring and lantern hook. None of the water fountains appear functional so there does not seem to be any running water. There is a nice hammock station installed by Troop 44 which is quite nice. Can't wait to see the sunrise over the Tom Bigbee river in the morning.
