Best Tent Camping near Auburn, AL

This is another one of the U.S. Military Campgrounds (similar to the Maxwell/Gunter AFB one in Montgomery) and similarly, it caters primarily to RVs. There are a few tent sites available but they aren't very nice or well maintained. The whole campground is a bit run down and in need of attention and updating.

There is a boat launch and beach area. However, I wouldn't recommend spending much time in the beach area due to the large amount of garbage and pet waste. Oddly, dogs are allowed within the park but only if you are camping in a camper or RV. Dogs are not allowed in the tent camping area which I find odd.

We stayed here while visiting family in the area and I wouldn't stay here again. There isn't much to do unless you have a boat so you would be better off finding a different place to spend your time.

We tent camped during football season. They have clean facilities. Several trails. We will go back.

Full Hookups, easy entry, paved sites, Quiet park, Park Manager Jeff is wonderful. There's a haunted antebellum mansion, a hiking trail and a huge picnic area and playground. It's a City park with only 30 RV sites and the rates are very reasonable. We're only 15 minutes from Tiger Town Mall and serious shopping and about 20 minutes from Auburn University. Highly Recommend staying here unless you need all the amenities in the world. If you need a place to stay that is quiet, reasonably prices, well maintained and close to anything you need to get to this is your place.

We tent camped here on site 23 in February 2015. Sites were spacious and spread apart! Almost all sites were on West Point lake or had lake views. Bath house was clean but a very long walk! They need a few more so it's not so far from some sites. We will be back!

We were there back in June. We had spot 96 and we tent camped. The spot was recommended in another review and it was wonderful. Right beside the water so the kids were able to play in the water most of the time. My family enjoyed it and it was our first camping trip. We are looking forward to going back.

Campground is fairly large with lots of sites for RVs, a few Cabins, yurts, and even tent sites. There is a really nice and well maintained pool, hot tub, and splash area for small kids. The RV sites near the pool are concrete pads and well spaced out. The sites below the pool area are a little tighter and un-level and our lot was covered in ants. Since we arrived late at night we didn’t realize the amount of ants until we woke up to them crawling all over our camper. 30 amp circuit was not adequate. The breaker continually tripped while using small kitchen appliances. Other than that we had a great time and really appreciated the trash pickup twice a day and the Dollar General that was only a 1/4 mile down the road.

We had a great time here. Nice large site. Biking was great, good hills a little hard on these novice riders 🤣 there was also a bike trail just outside the gate that was paved and Paralleled a roadway...several geocaches. The city of Auburn was close and beat too. Drank milkshakes on the lawn of Auburn University. If you are there on a Sunday check out Auburn City Church!

Chewacla State Park is adjacent to Auburn, AL, and it stays busy due to the proximity of the school and city. I stayed twice for a geology class and found the campsites and amenities to be wonderful. The trails around the park are not very extensive, however there are mountain biking trails covering most of the park. The main hiking trail runs down to a small waterfall where you can spread out and roam as you please. Both times I visited it was very busy, but that did little to detract from the experience. Just don't visit with the intent of seclusion.

First time in this area and very pleased with the campground and site. Close to Auburn and Tuskegee. Site utilities were in good condition and we enjoyed the area. Verizon signal good.

Spent two days at this park on a premium lot while visiting the University of Auburn. Park was clean and quiet. Hook-ups worked as expected. There’s a discount store right across the street - they have everything, which was a plus! Will stay again.

Even though you are technically within the city limits of Auburn, you really feel like you are away from it all. Perfect for camping with the Boy Scouts or just a day of hiking with the family, there is something for everyone here. Covered pavilions, fishing, hiking, camping, bike trails, you name it, there is something for everyone. My preference is to hike, but if camping is your thing, there are plenty of options, from primitive camping to RV spots. Try this hidden gem!

This is a great campground just off the interstate with great swimming, biking, and a waterfall. It has a lot of history related to Auburn University and is popular with students as well as past generations of students. But it continues to be a good family friendly destination. Flat campground with good services. We recently stayed in a cabin after staying in the campground years prior. The cabins are built by CCC and are lovely historic dwellings with great stone fireplaces and wood work. We were in cabin 2, the sofa bed needs to be replaced. The lake connector trail goes in front of the cabin but down the hill. On a Saturday in spring this trail is highly trafficked. The cabin comes with a flat bottom john boat but our was actually TAKEN after we unlocked it. The park rangers could care less when we reported it. The experienced mountain bike trail is just next to the cabins and is a great obstacle course for kids learning. The playgrounds are old and outdated but this can be a good thing to those nostalgic for swinging metal playgrounds. The concrete diving pier on the lake is a classic with an old school high dive. We were not there during football season for our second stay but it is very hard to get a cabin in the fall. It is a great family destination for the day or the weekend.
