Best Tent Camping near Camden, AL

I believe the parks budget was severely cut years a ago and this park is managed as best it can with limited personnel. Great hiking trail for a quick half day visit and also plenty of room on the ponds dam for tent camping!

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.

The tent sites are walk in only...guess I missed that bit of info when I reserved. The guy at the gate was nice enough to change us from the furthest site to the closest...with 2 kids in tow I definitely didn't want to carry all the our supplies in! Sadly the sites were infested with ants!! They were everywhere..inside everything and we had to toss food that was in containers...just gave us the jitters! Spray killed many of them but we used an entire can and still had ants!

The bath house and washer/dryer were clean.

Ppl were friendly. The lake wss gorgeous

We 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.

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

The camp ground has two areas along the access Road. Both areas are first come first served. These are sites without power or water hookups, or self contained rustic camping. Sites would allow car, van or larger campers/RV’s. No running water, but toilet facilities. Near dam and lock on ALABAMA river.

We stayed here for one night while traveling through Alabama. Looks like most of the sites are level with concrete parking pads. Many great waterfront sites with lots of big shade trees. No sewer sites, but the bathrooms are centrally located and an easy walk. This campground even has a laundry with pay washer and dryers.

Wifi non-existent.

sketchy phone service...we have verizon and had very limited coverage.

great staff...very helpful.

showers...pressure was great!  restrooms were old(er), but clean!

Site was very level....ours had good shade...fair amount of space and many concrete pads (but not all).

Some have raised issues about the ants...we did see ants, but ONLY on the tent walk in area...and there were places there that looked like the ants would have been a real issue.

We had an excellent experience at Foscue Creek. We were the only tent campers in the park, as it looked like most of the residents were longer-term RVers. Most of the sites are along the creek/river, and each has a table, fire pit, water, electric, and a hook for hanging things. The bathrooms were the cleanest bathrooms I've seen at a public campground. The river is lovely at sunset, and there are tons of birds and other wildlife within the park. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

I've been sneaking out of town for the last couple of months on my motorcycle you see I have recently got into Hammock camping… as I was looking for a destination I wanted to go somewhere out-of-the-way so I found this little state park in Alabama called Roland Cooper State Park the most clean,friendly and kept up State Park I believe I've ever been to the employees were most helpful and truly enjoy their job I was envious I am now thinking off workamping….. if you haven't heard of this you must check it out I believe it's a perfect fit for people like me I took the wife just a few days ago to swing over night….. now when I say swing I mean in a hammock… lol… she absolutely loved it . if I didn't know better I would think the park was brand-new so this is my new getaway spot ... I drive 200 miles each way and let me tell you this it's worth every inch…. but don't take my word go see for yourself and explore a great outdoors

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.

Full hook ups but not a relaxed vibe due to parking lot configuration

The park itself is beautiful very quiet and the sunsets are amazing. The staff are very friendly and the prices are good.

We live about 45 minutes from this campground. Planned a last minute trip for 2 days and had an absolute blast. It was middle of the week so we nearly had the place to ourselves. My son and I enjoyed the fish while my wife enjoyed a good book on beautifully shaded lot #13. The hosts were helpful and extremely nice.

Perfect. What was expected.
