Blue Creek Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Drive-in access at Blue Creek Park involves steep grades and tight curves, so rigs larger than 30 feet should approach with caution, particularly after dark. The route down to the boat launch includes a sharp final hill where oncoming boat traffic can be an issue. Campers arriving from the south are better off skipping Watermelon Road entirely. The single restroom sits up the hill from the lower launch area. Amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, and trash service, and pets are welcome. Those exploring camping near Tuscaloosa will find this spot works best for self-sufficient campers with smaller rigs who want water access.

Boat launch is worth it for solar

We have a 30ft class A and I would not recommend coming in at night it's doable but it was a lot steeper in some sections than we expected. We went all the way down to the boat launch and the last hill and curve is no joke I would recommend having someone go out ahead to make sure no boats are coming up before making your way down especially if you're bigger than 30ft. Weather was great, and with the breeze that comes through, we didn't have to use our ac in full sun on a 85° day. Be prepared to be self sufficient the one bathroom is up the hill. If you're coming from the south I would take the extra time and not use watermelon rd my brakes got a little hot and you'll have plenty of downhill no need to add to it.
