Dense tree coverage creates a campground where RVs and vegetation compete for space at Point Mallard City Campground in Decatur, Alabama. Katie D. observes "It's hard to tell if there are more trees or RVs on the property." The angled sites help with maneuvering despite the tight quarters, though narrow roads require patience during busy periods.
The campground maintains year-round operations with full hookups accommodating RVs up to 60 feet. Sites include electric, water, and sewer connections, plus access to restrooms, showers, and a dump station. A mix of short-term visitors and long-term residents creates a community atmosphere, with many permanent setups featuring wood porches and established outdoor spaces. Daily trash pickup eliminates trips to dumpsters.
Point Mallard Water Park sits within biking distance, while a six-mile walking and biking trail follows the Tennessee River. Two playgrounds serve families with children. The golf course at the campground entrance provides additional recreation. Special events occur during Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekends. A camp store operates daily until 5 p.m., and 24-hour laundry facilities handle washing needs.
Vehicle traffic and golf carts move through the campground regularly, though Cathy A. notes it remains "relatively quiet" despite the activity. Bathroom cleanliness varies according to reviews, with some reporting maintenance issues. WiFi service has experienced extended outages. The location provides access to Decatur shopping while maintaining distance from urban noise.
For additional overnight options, campers can explore places to camp around Decatur. Reservations help secure preferred sites during peak seasons and holiday weekends.
