We are in a quiet area with access to a town aprox. 18 miles away. We are about 45 minutes from the Alabama River and an hour from Millers Ferry. There is a Robert Trent Jones golf course near by and we are about 2 1/2 hours from the beaches. With a total of 265 acres, we have 2 ponds and a creek for fishing and recreation. The land consists of open fields and woodlands. Pitch your tent in one of our beautiful grass covered fields and enjoy access to 263 acres of pure nature.

Now is the perfect time to come and enjoy exploratory hikes and leisurely walks along our many roads and trails!

FHU, paved and level sights, clean and updated bathhouse and clean pool, playground, dogpark, koi pond, horseshoes, cute general store with necessities and souvenirs, propane refill and firewood! Has a quaint pond, with a bridge, and displays colorful lights at night. The Owner, Lori, showed us to our spot, and made sure we had everything we needed and gave us info on local shops and parks. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. We have been to this KOA 3 times now, and can’t wait to go back!

Arrived at guard gate and was welcomed by friendly staff. Quiet campground with waterfront site 8. Plenty of space between sites. FHU, level gravel, waterfront site with picnic table, fire ring, and grill. Felt safe, and across the street from bathrooms/laundry. Dated but clean. Woman’s bathroom with showers & bathroom stalls. 2 washers & dryers, as well as a folding table. No dog park, but plenty of nature, paved roads for walking, as well as easy to find, marked trails. 10 minutes to town, with restaurants and a few stores to pick up groceries & necessities. Playground is on the other side of the trails, as well as the boat ramp. Lots of wildlife. Would stay here again!
GuideThis is an older state park. We had a nice site that backed up to the lake. Only negatives were: the trash bin could have been closer (the exercise though was worth it) and the 'acorns' from the trees made for some loud bangs on the roof. Some nice trails for hiking.
We were in site 22 and next trip would like to try and get 2, 5 or 15
Park located in Opp, AL which was named for attorney Opp who brought the train hub to the town

We had some rain but wasn't a big deal. The site we had was superb as had plenty of elbow room and with all the trees and bushes, could not even see the camper next to us. Great location if you want to drive into Pensacola. Was nice walk to the river with all the sandbars.
GuideThis campground has spacious campsites and not too far from a river. The river has soft Sandy bends, Perfect for swimming in. The campground has electric sewer and water. The restrooms were very clean here.
Guide
The camp ground is nice the lake is beautiful. Verizon cell signal 2 bars. Cash only for payment
TravelerBlackwater River State Park is a hidden gem. Yet another one of the state of Florida's fantastic state parks. You don't need the beach when you've got the pristine white sands of the shores of Blackwater river. The river and the surrounds are super quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Tubing, kayaking canoeing are all super here as is the bike riding, if you know where to go, (hint: follow the road to the boat ramp just north of the entrance).
GuidePlenty of sites Hot shower flushable toilet hiking trails pond to fish what more do you need
RangerSweet on and off 231 all paved pull through sites. Catch and release pond, camp store, propane, showers, laundry, close to restaurants. Everyone is escorted to their site by the wonderful owner and her staff.
RangerQuiet, cheap, good cell service, and okay bathrooms. Just watch out for alligators around the pond!
Guide
So well maintained, it is way back in the woods. Cell service was on the struggle bus the whole time, but overall this is a great little place.
GuideHospitable staff, nice trails, great scenery and wildlife, clean restrooms with great water temperature and pressure. Very nice sized campsites and some are concrete pads. All look pretty level.
GuideBeautiful views, clean restrooms, and free. Other campers were very friendly. The only reason for a 3 is the rough drive getting there.
Guide
We arrived and everything was dry. The next morning, our site had literally turned into a pond. By the time I finished packing up to leave, I literally looked like I jumped in the river with all of my clothes on. Haha I guess that’s camping in Florida for ya. The park was nice overall. The bathrooms were okay. Full hookups and lots of trees so our service was a little spotty.
ScoutWant to be away from it all - this is the place. Grass sites, some shade.
Guide
This campground is closed indefinitely. If you drive past it, there's a new area people are using where a port a potty has been placed, but I don't reccomend staying there. It's right on the road and was very crowded.
GuideNice site. It has everything you could want for a paid site, hot showers, river access, electric, water, fire put and picnic table, playground, etc. I had a problem with racoons every single night as soon as it got dark. They fearlessly approached my camp site and didn't hesitate to take anything they could find. Please stop feeding the wildlife
Traveler
Great little campground. Several miles of walking paths around (part of) lake. Walk into town is about a mile. Half the sites are on the water, other half backs to trees. Full hook ups, good restroom/shower. First come, pay at the front building.
TravelerNice campground, clean, large sites Good walking trails. Nice facilities.
ScoutGreat campground. Lots of trees and shade. Greeted by host. Bathhouses were clean. Campground was very well maintained. Beautiful lake. Beach swimming area and boat ramps nearby. Wifi works great.
ScoutTrue to the word campground. This place has trees and wildlife and a beautiful lake while also having a laundry facility, bathhouse an wifi. Not like your average luxury rv resorts ( parking lot with a pool). On-site host greets you and gets you checked in as you enter the park. Maintenence crew does a fantastic job keeping the grounds looking great year round. There is also a nearby beach swimming area and boat ramps.

4 RV sites with water and electricity(30/50 amp) hookups(no sewer). Showers and toilets are very close and clean and well maintained.
The family staff is incredibly nice and helpful.
Internet is fantastic, both their Wi-Fi and our Starlink.
Thumbs up.
Guide
Nice place on the lake, well maintained. We wanted to do laundry and try new kind of a campground. Overall positive, but expensive. Sites are really near each other, no privacy. Probably ok for one time. Will go back to the more simple campgrounds. Had Wi-Fi, slow 1-2mgb/s . Att reception is fast.

I have been going here since I was a little boy and was finally able to take my wife to camp here. I love this place. The road to the damp grounds are very sandy and iffy when it rains. The camp site itself is nice and private. The bath house needs cleaning from the roaches and spiders. It also has a small playground. The canoe trip is a must!!
GuideGravel sites and generally level Clean large bathrooms Water , electric and sewer at campsites Was able to get phone connection with no problem Access to water was beautiful and sand beach’s awsome

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE: I made reservations back in August of 2022 for the July 4th, 2023, weekend (11 Months in advance). On my day of arrival, June 29th, I pull into the campground to check in and come to find out, the owner, Matt Fox, had lost my reservation. Matt works from home outside of Chicago. My card had been fully charged for the full stay 11 months prior. I traveled with my truck and 33-foot bumper pull camper for approx. 450 miles to be told I have no camp site. This is a unique campground. I had no other options. Instead of them realizing their mistake and assigning me a site and then making calls to cancel a reservation that was made after mine, they simply turned me away. The onsite managers tried to figure something out by trying to fit a square into a round hole. LOL. Meaning force my 33-foot camper attached to my 4-door truck around a 90 degree turn to then hit the overhang of an adjacent camp site roof over and over an eroded trail. There was no way it would fit is my point. That made me question their knowledge of the camping world. The owners operate off site near Chicago. They micromanage the reservations and local managers have no control over it. This business model is a joke. And this is a clear example of how it does not work. And from what I heard; matt makes mistakes all the time on reservations. They don't keep good records, or they would have never lost my paid in full reservation. This cost me the customer and they don't care. So here I sit, 450 miles from home with the cost to get there, pissed off and agitated knowing that I have an 8-hour drive back home because I have no other options. And a Holiday Weekend! They said they would give me a full refund and I had to ask for 100.00 for gas assistance. But they gave me no confirmation number of the refund. That had to come from Matt! The total trip was around 18 hours and approximately 900 miles which cost me around$400.00 in gas plus a lost vacation day from work. The drive home was very frustrating. I could not believe the way I had been treated. I honestly was in disbelief. It was the owner's fault and not the camp host/managers as the owners in Chicago run the show. And not a very good job at it from my experience. I sent the owners a text and picture of my odometer showing the average mpg and how many miles traveled and the time and ask for a$900 reimbursement. But they refused. How would you feel if you drove that many miles and for that length of time and spent that amount of money for nothing? They do not know what customer service all is about. They got their camp full for the July 4th weekend with over booking so I did not matter. I was nothing to them. They even required full payment up front. They are just looking out for themselves and are struggling apparently. Please, for those reading this, stay away. Its not worth what I went through to walk around naked and have man on man sex in the woods. This place disgusts me from a customer service standpoint.
