Clean and hospitable.

Isolated yet only one hour and a half from Mobile, AL. Plenty of room at each site. Well kept facilities. Hot showers. Located on Big Escambia Creek. Tubing and horseback riding available in season. Secure campground. Well kept secret.

Lots of activities

Visiting here it looked like a pretty new site off of I65 on the way to Montgomery. They have several nice RV spots with available tubing and swimming. The spots are pretty large but there is not really any privacy since everything is in open loops. They also have a tent only section but I was unable to take a look since the recent rain in the area made it inaccessible. They have tons of cool activities to do around the reserve and the guys at the front were very friendly. It is definitely a site worth checking out if you are in the area and want a campground that provides both a place for sleeping and activities to explore. Just remember it can get pretty hot in this area in the summer.
