    Hitchinpost RV Park and Campground

    Great spot

    Host was very friendly, and very patriotic. Cute dog parks, with water for the dogs, and a swing for you to hang out on while you wait for the dogs business to be done.  There is a petting zoo with baby goats and piglets here too.

    Cotton Hill

    Large sites, most have shade, great camping

    The sites are well spaced, most are water front and easy access to water or have water view. They have full hookups!! Great Verizon and AT&T signals. Some sites are at the beach if you have kids. Took fishing boat, kayak and Ebike. Has two walking trails, playground, large dog park, fish cleaning station and huge beach. Bathrooms are very clean and large and hot water in the wintertime and placed throughout the park. Also a nice laundry facility.Camp hosts were nice and helpful. Had full moon while here and the nice time was beautiful as well as fabulous sunrises and sunsets. Our two golden retrievers loved it. It is south of the nat line but no bugs or misquotes in January! We will be back.

    Alliance Hill RV Resort

    Such a nice park!

    Beautiful, quiet country setting. Loved it!! Saw deer, many birds and gorgeous sunsets. Spacious sites with cement pads. Full hook-ups except cable. Able to get multiple channels with antenna only. Very nice clubhouse, pool, restrooms and laundry. Everything inside and out is immaculate. Fenced dog park with toys and obstacles. Gated RV park so only park guests are driving in. Manager, Stacey, cheerful and kind. Obviously enjoys her job. Park is within easy driving distance to 4 state parks and several small towns so we took day trips to sightsee. Would definitely stay here again if back in the area.

    COE Walter F George Lake White Oak Creek Campground

    Beautiful campground with great sites

    Stayed December 2019 for a long weekend. The sites are all very nice with fire ring, lantern pole, picnic table, small counter height table, and concrete pad for your camper or tents. Ample additional parking available. Bathrooms were well maintained. We stayed in the Oakwood loop. River Chase loop has the best playground. Staff were very friendly. Several dump stations as well as a dog park. Would like some more hiking trails.

    Florida Caverns RV Resort

    Newer campground

    Newer RV park. Clean restrooms. Pool and dog park are some of the amenities. There is a boat ramp and docks/slips, but the lake was almost empty - no fault of the campground. Some sites are paved some are not. No privacy between sites. Electric capacity lacking. Only had an amp hookup but needed outlets for our popup. No fire rings - need to rent. There is a store/gas station at the front of the park. Would not stay again for personal preference.

    Florida Caverns RV Resort

    Nice resort and friendly Stagg.

    Nice campground resort. Within 10 mins to everything you need from Walmart to Hospital. Very nice Clubhouse with a kitchen that can be reserved by guests. Nice pool . Nice laundry room. And a workout room . The only downfall I have noticed is being able to hear the traffic from 90 in the evenings but not a big deal to me. Nice restrooms with showers . Fenced in dog park. Everything you need for a great stay !


Guide to Cowarts

Campgrounds near Cowarts, Alabama offer rustic to full-service camping options within a 30-mile radius. The region features predominantly flat terrain with mixed pine-hardwood forests and multiple water features including creeks and small lakes. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity, making spring and fall the most comfortable camping seasons in this southeastern Alabama location.

What to do

Explore underground formations: At Blue Hole Campground — Florida Caverns State Park, visitors can tour limestone caverns with unique formations. "The caverns are a must see in this park. Come early before they open as there is a line," advises one camper. Tours fill quickly, especially on weekends.

Fish in stocked ponds: Kelly Creek RV Park maintains a catch-and-release fishing pond with a dock. "There is a catch and release pond," notes one visitor who enjoyed the amenities during their stay.

Hike through varied terrain: Multiple trails wind through the region's natural areas. At Kolomoki Mounds State Park Campground, "There are several easy hiking trails and the Native American mounds and museum add some interesting history to any camping trip," according to a recent visitor.

Paddle local waterways: Creeks and small lakes provide opportunities for kayaking and canoeing. At Omussee Creek Park, visitors should "get out either early or late, as the current during the middle of the day can be quite strong," according to local knowledge.

What campers like

Spacious sites: Kelly Creek RV Park receives praise for its generous campsites. "Sites are very big and there was lots of space. We took the dogs for a walk down along the creek, through some nice woods and a meadow," notes one camper.

Wildlife viewing: Natural surroundings provide opportunities to observe local fauna. "Saw a turkey gobbler in the driveway when I pulled in. Owner says there are about 40 in the area and a few deer," reports a Kelly Creek RV Park visitor.

Historical attractions: The Native American mounds at Kolomoki provide educational value. "The park is an important sacred site (I suggest visiting the mounds at sunrise), but also has great modern recreational opportunities," shares one camper who appreciated the historical significance.

Clean facilities: Dothan RV Park maintains well-kept amenities. "Clean, quiet RV park with great amenities, fast WiFi and cable tv. Full hookups with 30/50amp electric and cable tv," reports a satisfied visitor.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Falling Waters State Park waterfall may not always flow. "Unfortunately, there hadn't been any rain during our visit, so the falls were dry, but the trails were still worth walking," shares one visitor.

Site spacing varies: Some campgrounds offer more privacy than others. At Falling Waters State Park Campground, "Sites are level gravel with a picnic table, fire ring, and even a handy towel-drying rack. They're spaced nicely, not too close to neighbors."

Limited amenities at some locations: Omussee Creek Park provides basic services. "Brace yourself for bringing everything with you that you'll need. The campgrounds are about 15 acres of pretty flat land with some decent brush around it, complete with typical 30/50 amp electrical, water and sewage hookups."

Reservation recommendations: Popular campgrounds fill quickly. "The campground only has a little over 20 sites, keeping the whole place nice and on an intimate scale, especially if you are able to snag one of the lake-side campsites," notes a Kolomoki Mounds visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Use multiple recreation options: Family Time Campground offers diverse activities. "There's a sweet little solar-heated pool that's perfect for a classic sundowner, plenty of shaded and grassy areas, children's playground, community firepit for s'mores."

Visit educational sites: Historical attractions provide learning opportunities. At Kolomoki Mounds, "We learned a lot and our youngest earned to Jr. Ranger Patch. Buddy sites to share. Lots of Geocaching!"

Take advantage of playgrounds: Several campgrounds maintain play areas. "The play ground was very nice and the covered pavilions were nice," reports a visitor to Falling Waters State Park.

Budget-friendly meals: Some campgrounds offer affordable dining options. At Family Time Campground, "On Sunday's this campground offers up 'all-you-can eat' pancake breakfast for $4 – you can't beat this!"

Consider shopping access: Proximity to stores matters for extended stays. "Right on highway 231 south of Dothan, AL. All sites have been upgraded to level concrete with full hookups. Bring groceries and ice as there is no campstore. Dollar General is next door but they are out of ice. Walmart is less than a mile."

Look for pet exercise areas: For pet friendly camping near Cowarts, Alabama, adequate walking space is important. "We took the dogs for a walk down along the creek, through some nice woods and a meadow, it was a nice walk," shares a Kelly Creek RV Park visitor.
