Best Glamping near Clio, AL

Very nice staff! Go a little bit extra. Showed us to our spot snd even dusted the services for clean connections! Place was meticulously maintained. Nice visit will be my stop when going through Alabama.

This is a good fishing destination. Campground has a sandbox and playground but for a little more you can get a hotel room. Boat rentals available for fishing and close to the museum of wonder in seale, alabama

We stopped here for one night on our way from Alabama to Florida and were pleasantly surprised how much we liked this part of southern Alabama and how nice the park was. After a long days drive it was a perfect place to take our dog for a walk to stretch our legs and settle in to a great campsite. The lake adjacent to our campsite made for a beautiful backdrop for our evening campfire. 

Turns out this 2,050-acre park is a hot spot for anglers which cruise the 1,000-acre Lake Jackson looking for hungry fish. The ranger told us the lake is stocked bass, bream, crappie and catfish and holds numerous tournaments. We really liked the setting of the campground with many sites being directly on the lake. Our gravel site was a long back-in right on the water and perfectly level for our RV. The park recently added primitive tent sites which offer more privacy and a nice setting away from RVs. Our campsite was set under large trees and we had nice privacy on one side by the other side had a neighbor pretty close. Luckily for us when we were there the park was not crowded and the lack of campers made for a quiet setting.  (Tip: Site #1 has a great view of the water and set off by itself and is probably the best in the park.) 

For a state park this differs from many in that it has lots of modern features. The 32 RV sites have electric, sewer, water and Wi-Fi and cable! You can even stay for a whole season, if you want. Prices vary widely depending on whether you want a primitive tent site, site on water, or off water. Additional fees of a reservation fee ($4), 3% resort fee, and 12% lodging tax are added to the cost and really add up.

Amenities include a large playground, swim beach, boat launch, laundry, and restrooms with showers. There are miles of hiking trails winding through the woods and a boardwalk that takes you over to trails on an island. You know you are in the south when the swim beach has a sign that says “Beware of alligators and snakes, Swim at your own risk.”

During our stay the park was hosting its annual “Scarecrows in the Park” function.  For this event, walking trails are lined with decorative scarecrows made by local individuals, businesses, organizations and school groups.  The scarecrows and scenes they depict are quite creative but some are a little creepy.

Overall, this is a good place to stay in southern Alabama if you are looking for a nice full hook-up site that is in a pretty setting. The price was on the high side because of all the added fees but it was the perfect location for us to stop on our route.

Great small campground. Site #20 was a large pull through. Full hookups. Some sites tend to flood. Camp is on lake George. This is a busy lake for motorized boats and fishing. I went kayaking on the lake. If you kayak across lake you are in alabama. Bathhouses were well kept and nice laundry facilities. This park has a full service marina. This park is about 9 miles to Providence canyon. There is a brewery close by but was closed due to covid. Campground was very well kept. Marina area and lake had a lot of trash and debris. Some of the trash along shore could have been from recent floods but the amount of trash I saw kayaking was extreme. Park has several fish cleaning stations and a lighter pier. There was also a floating dock at campground for fishing, launching kayaks.

This little gem is tucked away on the central-eastern side of Alabama, just a 20 or so minute drive from the AL-GA state line, just due south of Columbia, right off the Omusee Creek. Over in these parts you’ll find some solid nature to interact with, trails to hike and of course, all the fun and enjoyment you’d expect being this close to the water. 

Let me share a bit about Family Time Campground: there’s a sweet little solar-heated pool that’s perfect for a classic sundowner (and not so great for swimming laps!), plenty of shaded and grassy areas for RV and trailers (22 spots in all), spacious long level lots in a private gated community, filtered water and free rentals, newly finished covered pavilion with about a half dozen brand new picnic tables that has a brand new BBQ, children’s playground, community firepit for s’mores and a fully functioning laundry facility. This RV site has full electrical, water and sewage hook-ups, free WiFi and there’s even a fully-stocked kitchen you can access while on site. For those that aren’t hauling their living room behind them, this property also has (3) bunk houses, (3) cabins, (4) camp rentals and even stationary RV’s for rent.

Insider’s Tip? On Sunday’s this campground offers up "all-you-can eat" pancake breakfast for $4 – you can’t beat this! Of course, there is the famed Coheelee Creek Covered Bridge that apparently people come from all over to see. For a good spot to dine out at, I recommend Log Cabin Restaurant right across the AL-GA state line in nearby Blakely – they’ve got everything you could think of fried, as well as some things that shouldn’t be fried, but taste great regardless! Last tip – if you’re out to kayak or canoe, get out either early or late, as the current during the middle of the day can be quite strong. 

Happy Camping!

Great place for a quick stop.

Engineer beach is fun and family friendly! The campsites and facilities are clean. A dump station is conveniently located at the entrance of the park. The bath house also has a laundry room. There is a small park with a swing set, teeter totter, and basketball hoop. There is also a boat dock which is convenient for accessing Lake Thollocco. I definitely recommend this campground as long as you don’t mind the helicopters going over at all hours of the day and night.

This military RV campground was very nice. The pull through site that we were assigned provided privacy as it was situated off to itself. However because of the vast amount of trees we were unable to use the satellite and WiFi was not available, but the Rec room had plenty of books.

Great military campground. Water and electric, on site dump station. Laundry room clean and good price. Large sites that are spaced well for privacy. No wifi, but good cell phone service. Would highly recommend

Injoyed my stay here . Beautiful clean peacefull place.  Great for the whole family

We were looking for something to do this weekend and we decided to camp at Florence Marina State Park and explore Providence Canyon.

First off, Florence Marina is beautiful from the time you drive through the entrance to when you reach the campground! There's a boat ramp, fishing pier, a private fishing dock for campers and mini golf.

The campground is a bit small and some sites are close together but not too cramped. There is a camp store, located in the park, with many items that you may have forgotten to pack, as well as fish bait and fishing supplies!

The bath house (comfort station) appears to be recently renovated and is cleaned multiple times per day. The bath house has several showers, including ADA accessible shower stalls.

The campground host was constantly cleaning the bath house and picking up trash around the campground. The Ranger patrolled the campground on a regular basis, as did the Stewart County Sheriff's Office.

The only downside to our weekend camping trip was the gnats!! The campground host told us that the gnats aren't usually as bad, however, the recent heavy rain is the cause of them being so bad this particular weekend.

Other than the gnats, this is the perfect place to pitch a tent or set your travel trailer up!

Providence Canyon State Park is only 9 miles from Florence Marina and it is a must-see!! We spent Saturday morning hiking there before returning too our site.

FYI: There isn't much, as far as shopping goes, in the area so grab your groceries before you arrive! If you must go shopping, Eufala, AL is approximately 24 miles away and that is your closest large store (other than a Dollar General in Georgetown…approximately 16 miles from the park).

We have Verizon Wireless and we had 1-2 bars of LTE during our stay...sometimes our signal would revert to 3G and be painfully slow!!

Another perk, if you just can't go without, is the sites have cable TV connections...we did not use this service but some campers did.

This campground is great for people that like to fish. Providence canyon is close by which is great!

This is a boater campground and marina. It is nice and flat, with sand sites. Water and electric at the sites sites, plus a dump station. We ended up near the campground dumpster so it wasn’t pleasant. It is a short drive to Providence Canyon State Park. There were armadillo in the woods, and blue birds. There is a museum, but it was closed when we were there. There are many nicer State Parks in Georgia!

This park is located in the small town of Omaha, GA, you will need to plan your stay accordingly for supplies as there is no shopping available within a few miles. The town of Eufaula, AL is 20 miles away and Lumpkin, GA is about 16 miles away, these are the closest places to get supplies and food. This park is a great place to plan fishing activities on the Walter F. George Reservoir (Lake Eufaula). There is a well equipped marina for short and long term boat storage/docking and also includes fish cleaning stations on site. There is a boat launch area and the camp store is equipped for most of the fishing supplies you will need.

The camp ground is an improved campground which includes water, electric, sewer, tables and grills. The roads through the campground are paved with ample room for maneuvering all classes of RV’s without issues. The bath houses are very clean and well equipped. For detailed information you can visit the Park’s Website at https://gastateparks.org/FlorenceMarina. There are a few trails for hiking down by the waters edge but we didn’t use them during this stay.

The only negative we can offer is the area was very wet when we visited due to rain the days before. Many camp sites were not useable with visible water standing and the areas around the bath houses were also flooded.

This was a fun campground enjoyed with others for the weekend.  They have a lake with john boat rentals along with mini golf.  There are signs posted to watch for gators.  Omaha Brewery is only 5 miles away.

We stayed here so we could camp in close proximity (9 miles away) to Providence Canyon State Park. Florence Marina is geared mostly towards those who want to get out on the lake in boats, but we enjoyed walking the little nature trails and kayaking in our down time between hiking over at Providence. It was very clean and the staff were very accommodating to our needs.

Good place for boating, fishing and kayaking! The campground offers hookups, a table and grill. There is also a restroom and bathhouse that was very clean. It was a really pretty place! As far as hiking, I would visit Providence Canyon nearby!

We stayed in site # 16 it has full hook up. The park was busy it was Halloween they have a haunted boat ride and a hayride.  Great place to spend Halloween. It was decorated well and there was a fest going on we won a basket of goodies. We walked to the lake there were so many dragonflies it was cool. The birds were swooping up the dragonflies it was interesting to watch. We would go watch sunset at the lake funny our phones read Al. time not GA time.

We had a good time in the park you can kayak or rent a little boat it was cheap.  We rented a boat my husband fished and we drove around the lake. You can have a AL. or GA fishing license here the lake runs through both states. Lots of blooming Lilly's, big oaks with moss, shorebirds and gators. 

Close to this park is Providence canyon which looks like a small Bryce canyon except it was created by poor farming. It's a neat place to see about 6 miles from the park. There's an old church there and some real old graves. There's a nice hike along the rim you can hike down in the canyon too.

Went into Eufaula to Antique and check out the town. The drive there and back is pretty.
