    Meridian East-Toomsuba KOA

    Used dump station only

    We were just passing thru but used their dump station. Super convenient and clean. They only asked for a donation. Very kind couple!

    Lenoir Landing

    Worked for the night - quiet but neglected

    We needed a spot that was somewhat remote for the dogs and this worked. Several pull off spots for camping from the entrance to the boat ramp. No fees. Some spots graveled and maintained with views of the river. Locals are nice and helpful. There are garbages and no one cares if you make a fire - very few campers on a Sat night - downsides - composting toilets gross, no functional water running and the river is gross, lots of trash - boat traffic, lots of bugs (specifically despite wearing long pants / using repelant we both got 100’s of chiggar bites) - 1 bar reception

    Overnight stay

    This was a great place to stay overnight. Gravel sites . New owners are making improvements. Road to the campground was narrow and a little bumpy getting there but was reasonable for an overnight stay. The owner was super nice 👍

    Payne Lake Spillway

    Spillway recreation area

    The Payne Lake spillway is a nice place to have a picnic and view the lake. There is a pavilion with four picnic tables underneath it and then there are isolated picnic tables around the area. They have fire pits and grills nearby for cooking. There are also bathrooms across from the pavilion. The boat ramp for the lake is right down the road from the spillway parking area. No camping is allowed in this area of the campground.

    Moundville Archaeological Park

    Tent camping not recommended

    The rv sites look maintained. Tent camping is not. Ground is unkept so be careful of sticks poking holes in the floor. If you have a truck-mounted tent, you will have to get an RV site as you have to carry your tent a short ways. The rest of the park is great.

    Forkland Campground

    Right on the water

    Had a nice spot right on the water. Lots of fisherman here and each site has a fish cleaning station. Place to put your boat in right when you enter the campground. Lots of mosquitos when the sun goes down so bring your spray.

    COE Demopolis Lake Foscue Creek Campground

    Peacefull and Cheap

    As an advid RVer its always hard to meet the title requirements. The park is easy to access off Hwy 80 and we chose a pill through {site 17} the site was clean and free of leaves, the park host even called us the morning of and let us know the site was open, she asked for a 1 hour heads up to be ready for our check in, all was ready when we arrived, she checked our senior pass and received a great deal at $12 per night. We had plenty of T-mobile service and streamed to our TV with no problem. Be prepared fro some mosquito action at around 5PM, so streaming TV will come in handy. Will book again this park, very pleased.
