There was a lot of trash while I was here, there are bins but people didn’t use them? Or they did and nobody has come to get the trash bags? At least a truck beds worth of trash right now. However I am incredibly grateful for this spot, It’s raining and it is a paved easy road to get down in this land of low lying dirt roads, that was clutch. There’s a really nasty vault toilet down the hill, surprisingly there was toilet paper and what looks to be some trails but since it’s raining I probably will not partake.
Cool dam to watch if you drive down the hill too where the bathrooms are. It’s a shame that those who have used it have abused it, I’m going to clean it up the best I can, it could be a really pretty place.
There was nobody here in December on a rainy day. There are 2 loops - 1 for tents and smaller rigs and 1 that anything could fit. I wonder if this place gets busy, it is well used.

Level gavel site! Lots of trees So cool to see lighting bugs at night! Lot of sites on the water not ours though. Trails and nature for walking dogs. Nice playground. Laundry and bathroom needs updated, but clean.Fire~ring, picnic table, and water & electric at each sight. Not a good signal with T-Mobile. Thought we were lost because the dirt road to get to the campground was very narrow and rough. Once arrived near the campground it was fine!

Third time at Millers Ferry! Water & electric hook ups . Good water pressure, dump station on property. Our site was paved and easily accommodated our 40 ft Rv/ fifth wheel & Dooley. Each site has a fire ring/with top grate to grill, picnic table, shepherd hook.Bathroom clean another one under construction. Nice playground. $1 for washer and dryer. Lots of sites are gravel as well, but level. Lots of people fish-parking for trucks & trailers at water ramp on property. No dog park, but lots of nature walks and paved roads to walk on. Oh yes, Lots of mosquitoes & ants, bring bug spray for a more pleasant stay! Shopping in town about 15-20 minutes away. Several good restaurants. There is a Piggly Wiggly, True Value Hardware, and Dollar stores. Approx 20-30 min to Walmart, next town over. Public lake for swimming, on site, with playground!
Scout
The campground is surrounded by creeks, rivers, and hunting land owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. I had a wonderful experience there along with friendly staff. They kept the bathrooms and showers clean.
ScoutThis is one of my favorite places to spend a few days. It is by a beautiful lake and a friendly, well kept campground. It's also close to home so it is easy to run down and get out of town.
Guide
We stayed in spot 36. We we're very close to the water with a little cutout to walk down to the water. Bathrooms were clean but had no AC, they we're fairly close to the site. Pull through site was easy to park but required side to side leveling. Verizon cell service was okay, bounced between 1-2 bars with 10-20 mbps. Quite a drive from Montgomery but well worth it for the morning views out over the water. Just a warning that the ants were crazy! We're still cleaning them out of our camper.

Scout
Level sites. Spacious. Quiet.
ScoutLarge, well kept sites. Horrible bathrooms a long walk from many sites. If the urge hits, you won't make it. Bring your own if you can.
ScoutDon’t let the partial dirt road fool you. What a find. Secluded, quiet, plenty of wildlife and great fishing. Can’t wait to go back.
LegendIsaac Creek campground is very well laid out. All of the campground's staff are friendly, helpful, and just pleasant to work with. I stayed on site 45 which had an electrical problem, on going for several months, and although no one could come fix it the weekend I was here, they offered to immediately move me to an open site. The bathhouse was very clean, Can't ground and common grounds were also well kept. The marine museum is closed, looks like permanently. Overall this was a very clean pleasant campground to visit and would recommend it.
Guide
Quiet levelish sites, with friendly staff. Walked the campground and visited with several other residents and they were happy to chat.
LegendArrived on Friday. Looked similar to others I had started at (and we have done plenty COE) Maybe the rain or something. Site has not been cleaned after previous campers. Trash bin at each site, was overflowing. Broken camping table left by previous also, still there. Maybe that’s the penalty for arriving on a long weekend. Would have given it the benefit of the doubt, but T-mobile and Verizon 5G both downscaled to 4G. Download ok, but upload sucked.
Hostess was friendly and real helpful.
GuideTalk about a nice campground! Secluded, quiet, right on the water. Only thing that would make it better is full hookup.
GuidePrairie Creek Campground was mostly empty during our 1 night stopover. It is an attractive, wooded campground with mostly shaded sites. Sites along the lake tended to be closer together than I like, but with great views. Sites across the street tended to offer a little more space and, in some cases, more privacy. There were only two other occupied sites in our loop at the opposite end of our section. I had picked a secluded, wooded campsite away from the lake, but was able to move to a secluded, lakeside campsite which turned out to be one of the most enjoyable of our 6 week trip. The bathhouse was old, but clean. It was pleasant to walk the dog around the campground with the added benefit of also being able to walk through the old abandoned campground that was destroyed by a hurricane.
TravelerWe are hosts at a us army Corp of engineers camp site. Very isolated with full amenities on the Alabama river system.. David and Lora Fitch.
GuideAccess: very rough road on the short section of dirt. Older area First impressions: old and very minimally kept up Sites: well spaced,clean,big, I would suggest clearing some of the brush and smaller trees for a better water view Bathroom/shower: need updating but extremely clean and well stocked Host: extremely friendly and talkative,very helpful Positives: peaceful, wildlife,great fishing, decent boat ramp,away from big cities Negatives:updating needed, better road going in,clean up the area around the piers maybe replace piers, clean up brush around the sites, clean up the front host site where a camper burned, clean up the old picnic tables around the area that ain’t being used.
GuideThis is a lovely quiet campground with well spaced sites.
Ranger
A somewhat hidden off the beaten path campground. Approximately 10 sites along the Alabama river. Good catfish fishing. Water hookups. Clean outhouses (in the off season at least). Large paved parking pads. Boat launch. I drove through Two miles of red mud to get to the paved access road
RangerA fun find! Large sites and a few with a private (in the off season) dock. Good bird watching, turtles and gators. Quiet when I was there. Host on site. Nice private showers.
Ranger
Well this site was interesting. I checked it out but as a solo traveler my gut said nope. It’s free and the host at Issac Creek said it is safe. An outhouse and defunct ferry system that was very cool. It’s a long drop from the hard road to the camping area. Wet conditions could make for an adventure getting out. Clearly not maintained. I’m not saying no, just be prepared.
RangerCorps of Engineers Campground on the Alabama River with on site host. Well maintained facilities and plenty of retirees who found a good deal. Very long and wide paved sites. Room for large fifth wheel or motor coach plus a vehicle. Lots of fishing boats as well.
ScoutSuch a sweet campground! Very close to the interstate. Extremely affordable for full hook ups. Pull through and back in sites available. The only things to mention that are not the norm are. We didn't have to make a reservation and did not have to pay until the next morning. Also, no soap in the public bathroom. Just FYI. Perfect for just an overnight.
Traveler
Small road side park that the state had turned over to the County some years ago.
It only has 3 RV sites and typically offers water and electricity only.
Nothing more than a class "C" should stay.
Tent camping is welcome.
Bathrooms were closed for the season and the water is off due to a leak.
There is a dump station located by the restrooms.
There is WMA property across the road that could be accessed for hiking.
GuideNice large sites. Many with full hook-ups. Clean, well cared for park. Fishing, hiking in park. Golf course next-door.
