Pine Glen Recreation Area

Insanely peaceful and quiet. Even with a full campground the sites are all spaced far enough from each other that you won’t hear your neighbors. Have camped here multiple times and would definitely go back again. Plus you can do a little hiking along the river and up the ridge if you want!

Pining for Peace

First of all, a lot of sites were underwater.  Not the campgrounds fault it had been rainy, just saying.  However, the fact that all the water faucets were inoperable is another thing.  Very disappointing.  On a more positive note, however, it is very secluded and quiet.  I will be back one day!

Could be better

A very remote location with trash cans and vault toilets. Crashed for a night and was very nice. The road in is long and pretty bumpy so be prepared for that. Would definitely stay again. Glad it hadn’t rained before because I could see how other people said it floods. 

Very Remote

Stayed here Saturday 4/23/22. Was exactly as described. Got there at noon with plenty spots available. (There were still 4-5 spots available upon bedtime) Many sites had picnic tables, fire rings, and tent pads. I put $5 in the fee box (i think it may be $3?). I camped in my car in site 11. Has vault bathrooms that were stocked with toilet paper. Sites are spaced out pretty well. There’s about 4-6 miles of gravel road leading up to the campsite. Google Maps got me there just fine from Cheaha state park (1 hr). Overall no cell service for AT&amp;T &amp; Verizon - For Verizon, I had 1 bar pop up twice for a few minutes. No lighting at night- be sure to bring plenty flashlights. Has a nice little creek you can walk over to. Lots of families, friendly folk around at my neighboring campsites.

Simple

For $3 this campground was worth it all in all. Points to consider:
-The drive in is 8 miles in on an unpaved, backcountry road with varying inclines on slippery mixture of clay and gravel through hunting recreation area. We were in a Ford Explorer. Everybody else was in trucks. Good for them. 
-Seemed to be no hiking trails in immediate area so you’re confined once you get there if you were hoping to explore outside of the campgrounds..unless your car is well equipped for that backcountry road in. You can take a walk on the road that gets you there. We did find an interesting old cemetery off the trail. 
-no potable water
-no electricity 
-there are port a potties
-it’s beautifully silent out there aside from fellow campers
-sits along a creek
-it’s $3
