Rood Creek Park Camping
Beautiful, quiet camping by the water. There’s about 12-15 spots. We arrived on a Tuesday and spent 2 nights. No problem finding a great spot for our camper van to set up camp and enjoy the views. Very peaceful. Price is right too, its free!

RangerFranks Point of View
On Top Of Hill with 360 Views
We stayed here in November 2020. Set near the Talladega National Forest, Frans has 8 sites and a 360 degree view. It is so quiet your ears hurt. All sites have a sun canopy for your tow vehicle or picnicking. There is no shower house or restrooms. The owners are RV’ers and have laid out the campsites facing west for fantastic sunsets. There are hiking trails on the property and even a trail-buggy you can schedule to use. A donation jar is available for guests who would like to contribute for the cost of operation. Daily, weekly, and a monthly rates are available. Some reviews (on other sites) might mention the road to the campsites being hard to negotiate. We had zero trouble up or down with our 55k pound 45’ Blue Bird. The website has a great list of things to do and see in the area.

Site 204 Sep 9 to Sep 14
Site is a good size located on the shore of Lake Delano under trees. Great view. Fire ring and picnic table equipped. The temp is still hot and humid but there is a breeze which makes it bearable in the daytime, nights are cooler and comfortable. Plenty to explore with Pine Mountain Trail close by. Would stay here again. This site is water and electric only with dump station at entrance.

Bluff Creek Campground at COE Walter F George
Wasted potential
This campground has so much potential to be great. The volunteers were awesome and helpful. They checked on us multiple times during out stay. The grounds were poorly maintained. The gravel area in most sites were overtaken with grass and ants. The water line at our site leaked and the concrete slab was flooded. The road to the boat launch was closed due to a downed tree limb that looked to have been there for weeks. Laundry services had been removed.
On a positive note, deer were plentiful and a great bonus. Wife, infant son, and I left a day early as our tent and bedding had been infested with ants.
Verizon coverage was spotty. Data speeds were very slow if available at all.

GuideCedar Trail RV Park
Reasonable place for extended stay
We needed a place to stay while visiting our daughter and her husband, who is stationed at Fort Benning. Cedar Trail was the only place we found that had a reasonable monthly rate not much for amenities, but a safe convenience place to stay. Sites are priced by the day the week or the month, so if you book 32 days that’s priced at the monthly rate plus one day not at a prorated monthly rate.

Nice COE Campground
This is a typical park where not all sites are created equal. Some are paved, some are gravel. Some have 50 amp, some are 30-amp. Some are perfectly level and some have really steep grades. Some sites are pull-thru, some are back-in. Some are really long, some are much shorter. The roads in the campground are paved, free of potholes, and fairly easily navigable for big-rigs. All sites are pet-friendly and have water and electric. There are no sewer sites. Campsites 1-27 and 85-106 have 50-amp electric while the others are 30-amp. Some sites (40, 47, 50, 52, 65, 80, 84, 87, 89, 101) are “double-unit” (or buddy) sites which is reflective in the $60/night price. There are bathrooms scattered throughout the campground in each loop but there are only two shower houses in the entire campground. Sites 1-16 are perfectly level as are a few others. Reservations can be made online and the website has pictures and descriptions as well as length of site. The campground is very dark at night with the only lights being at the bathrooms. We love dark campgrounds where the moon and stars are bright. Unfortunately, numerous campers left their lights all night which we find really annoying. Our Verizon phone was very spotty and not reliable. We were able to use our portable Dish satellite to get television. There is a dump station located conveniently on your way out which is quite busy on Sundays at check out.

Small but nice
Site 22 full hookup. Small campground with nothing around in terms of town or business. Bathhouses were very well kept. Laundry was $1! Went to Providence Canyon SP. Very interesting hikes and sites. Watch those log trucks they move!

Great Faciliites
A little hard to find but the facilities are very clean and the spots are well laid out. The pool is part of a water park which is only open seasonally, so check the dates if you are wanting to take a dip
Guide to Auburn
Auburn RV parks provide year-round camping within Alabama's eastern plains region at 700 feet elevation. Local campgrounds spread across Lee County where summer temperatures often exceed 90°F between June and September, while winters remain mild with occasional freezing nights. Fall camping season coincides with Auburn University football games, creating high demand for campsites within 15 miles of campus.
What to do
Mountain biking trails: Chewacla State Park Campground features extensive mountain biking networks with varying difficulty levels. "Many areas have killed mtb trails to ride, worth a sniff," notes one visitor. The park contains both beginner-friendly paths and technical sections for experienced riders.
Swimming in natural settings: Several campgrounds offer water recreation during warmer months. At Chewacla State Park Campground, "the lake has a swim platform which has an elevated diving board about 10 to 12 feet high" according to a camper. The park also features a waterfall built by the CCC that doubles as the lake dam.
Fishing opportunities: Lakeside RV Park provides fishing access with reports of "big basses in here pond" from visitors. Some campers bring their own equipment while others use rental options available seasonally at certain locations.
What campers like
Large, level sites: Many RV parks near Auburn feature spacious camping spots. At Bar-W RV Park, "Each site is quite large, I've never seen such large campsites before." The working farm setting adds unique character with occasional livestock sightings.
Proximity to attractions: Campers appreciate locations convenient to Auburn University and local amenities. One reviewer at Eagle Landing RV Park noted they "Spent two days at this park on a premium lot while visiting the University of Auburn. Park was clean and quiet... There's a discount store right across the street - they have everything, which was a plus!"
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses and common areas rank highly in camper satisfaction. "The restrooms near 185 were large and very clean. They were up to date and comfortable to shower in," reported a visitor at Pine Mountain RV Resort, adding that the "campground was the cleanest we'd ever been to."
What you should know
Reservation timing: Football season creates extreme demand for RV camping near Auburn, Alabama. Beyond advance booking requirements, prices may increase significantly during home games with many campgrounds requiring multi-night minimum stays.
Connectivity options: Internet and cell service vary widely between campgrounds. At Auburn RV Park at Leisure Time Campground, one visitor noted they needed "a code texted to you, no other way in!" Other parks like Lakeside RV Park have experienced connectivity issues with one reviewer stating, "The website advertises free high speed wifi and cable. The park has NEITHER."
Site selection importance: Location within campgrounds matters for noise and accessibility. "The sites near us (28-33) all look great for space" at Chewacla State Park, while another camper warned that sites at different parks can be "super close together" with "abandoned trailers everywhere" at some locations.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several parks offer dedicated play areas for children. Pine Mountain RV Resort features "a playground, pool, hot tub, and fun mushroom splash pool" according to a visitor. The resort also has "a nice building available for groups to rent."
Pet policies: Most campgrounds welcome pets but have specific rules. At Camp David RV Resort, visitors can access a "Beautiful paved path leading to dog park, playground, golf course and river walk," though one camper suggests to "wear closed toe or muck boots as there are large stones and broken glass imbedded in all the sites."
Space for activities: Look for campgrounds with room for children to play safely. "We ended up spending more time sitting and watching them just play in the grass than we really thought," noted a parent about their experience with young children at Pine Mountain RV Resort.
Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges: Several RV parks require additional effort for proper setup. At Camp David, a reviewer mentioned "large gravel on road and sites making leveling difficult," while others note similar issues at various locations.
Long-term stay options: For extended visits, different rate structures apply. "Daily, weekly and monthly rates with up charge on electric after 800 kWh" are available at some locations like Lakeside RV Park, where visitors also mention the park "has been updating coming along very well looking so pretty."
Gate navigation: Larger rigs require careful maneuvering at entrance points. Several campgrounds have narrow gates or speed bumps that can challenge wider or longer RVs, particularly those exceeding 35 feet in length.
