  Worst customer service

  Our family drove over an hour to fish here. Upon arriving at the gate, we weren’t even greeted. A older lady stood up and just stared at us with a mean look. After about a 30 second stare, she finally said“hi”. I said“hi”. Another 15 second stare and she said”can I help you?” Very rudely. I said“yes we’re here to fish”. She said“we’re closed”. I asked what time they close daily and mentioned that google says open 24hrs and their website doesn’t list hours and she said“4”. I said we drove an hour here and you don’t close for another 45 min can we just drive through and look around, it’s our first time here. She said well I’m not charging you. I said this place was recommended to me on Facebook-can we at least look around? She said“no we’re closed”. I said ok what’s the price? She said we’re closed. I said I understand what you’re saying but what is the price? She sat down and refused to answer me. We left. We probably won’t be back. I decided to check around to see their reviews and it seems this lady is rude to everyone. Why has she not been replaced? I believe her name is Tracy. I tried to find out who her boss was by calling and emailing. However, no one answers the phone and she told me via email she’s the supervisor. SHE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED! So many people complain about her!!

  Beautiful but noisy!

  The campground itself is beautiful. The noise level is terrible. So if you are retired or want a nice, quiet place, this isn't it. The sprawling playground that aligns the campsites assures of loud, screaming children at all hours. Further, either there is no noise ordinance, or it is not enforced as loud music is ongoing into the night. Unfortunately, have to strike this beautiful spot off the list.

  Nice quiet campground in a beautiful area

  Large sites with plenty of space between. They rent tubes to float the creek or canoes to paddle the ponds in the park. Ponds have fish to catch, don’t even need an Alabama fishing license to fish. Super quiet.

  Beautiful state park

  Beautiful park, love that it is smaller and felt secure. Enjoyed walking on the dock and view of the water. Went on a treed hike. Not to bad in shade with the water breeze for June.

  Big camping spaces- semi private

  Big camping spaces- semi private. Kayaking trails all around in the park and local. Close by to big city life but camping in the wild yonder

  Hidden Gem in the Alabama Woods!

  We stayed here for Christmas of 2021. This place was gorgeous! Lakes and rivers everywhere and the views were incredible. Lots of waterfront sites available. We had our annual multi family meet up with a fifth wheel and our converted bus. Both campers were welcomed and accommodated. Full hookups and primitive camping available. Nice bath house and laundry facility. Playground. Horse stable for overnight. If you enjoy hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking or horseback riding this place Is for you. 30 min from the WindCreek Casino Atmore and local shopping.

  Great stop for the night

  I camped here for one night in the improved tent campsites at bartram campground. The site had trees to hang my hammock, a fire ring, water, and a picnic table. You walk maybe 50ft from your parking spot to the site in the woods. The bathroom was clean, had a light, very soft toilet paper, and hand sanitizer. Would definitely stay here again!

  Weekend Stay

  Great park with a ton of historically preserved areas from the 1800’s.

  Bugs are not nearly as bad as I expected. Lots of wildlife including deer that come very close. Some sites are level some are more difficult to level.

  Peaceful Camping in the Woods

  Quiet and clean

  Parked in a clearing with 2 5th wheel renters on it...walked back into the woods along a trail and chose one of several camp clearings. Level ground, dry, lots of deer. We will return!!

  Great wooded area close to attractions

  We stayed a few nights enroute to our final destination and really enjoyed this campground. It is very close to Mobile, but also very secluded. There is alot of space between sites and lots to see and do within the campground also. Hiking and biking trails, a boat excursion and a history tour of the area.

  Beautiful historic park

  This place is rich in history and is absolutely beautiful. We came in on a Tuesday in July and had the tent section to ourselves. It was quiet and secluded. The ground was a bit wet from the morning rain but we were able to find a dry spot to set up camp. There are numerous trails to explore and they are all marked for easy exploration. The only downfall about this place was the showers. The water pressure was basically non existent. Besides the shower situation this place is a 10 out of 10. If you are a nature lover and historic buff then this is the place for you !!

  Giant Spots!

  Giant Rv spots that were very spaced and secluded. Staff were great although not very attentive. We left out in the evening to visit friends and they wanted to know what time we’d be back. We said we weren’t sure and they seemed a little out off because they had to “close the gate”. They just said if we came back “late” and the gate was closed to close it behind us. Lol.

  Don’t plan on bathrooms cause the facilities are basically porta potties. Not a problem for us though but could be for others.

  Quiet nights, beautiful days

  If you bring nothing but a love of history this is the perfect spot for you.

  If you bring your family, this is the perfect spot for you.

  If you bring a horse, a bike, or good hiking shoes this is the perfect spot for you.

  If you bring a need for getting back to nature, a good book and a tent, this is the perfect spot for you.

  We booked in the improved camping section and came in a little later than I had wanted to set up. We arrived at 7:00pm. I have never been greeted by a more enthusiastic staff member who just kept saying we would love it. She had know idea how true her words would be for us.

  Two nights under stars and immaculate quiet. (To the point where we couldn’t help but laugh (quietly) when our fire cracked loudly a couple times. We set up at dark and the stillness was so calming. We had a group with a baby next to us so we were trying to be extra quiet but everyone was so behaved I was taken aback- never had a camping trip so serene.

  We heard coyotes at a distance which was amazing.

  Woke up to begin the junior ranger packet for our kiddos (provided at checkout) and hiked and explored all day. We were super happy at the food truck that was there so we didn’t have to go off site for lunch. (Probably just a weekend thing?) Loved seeing the horses on the trails and the easy bikes for our 5 and 7 year old. Second night we got back to the campsite and enjoyed some down time then woke up to explore the civil war battlefield again before we left.

  Sites were immaculate with water and power. Bathrooms were fine, no sinks but sanitizer and again water at our site.

  My husband didn’t have any interest in coming, now he wants to make it a biannual (at least, event).

  Great campsite!

  Full hookups, playground for kids, lots of little lakes and river access throughout the park. It was too cold for water activities during our stay, but we had a wonderful time walking around and exploring the property. Quiet, clean spots. Wonderful atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

  Close to home favorite

  Campground itself isn't large only about 50+ sites. Most are full hook up with less then 20 being power and water only. Very well maintained and always making improvements.

  Sites~ most are spacious but need more tree growth to have the illusion of privacy. Pads are gravel but fairly level. Some back up to water.

  Bathhouse~ The newest BH is very nice, well maintained and clean. 4 shower stalls with doors and curtains. They are about to start construction on a second BH.

  Things to do~ No real biking or hiking trails. Small lake/lg pond to fish in and river for swimming. They offer tubing trips through the campground $5 per person and it's maybe 2 hrs with stops. Horseback riding trails and accommodations.

  Great campground for hanging with friends and lounging at the river, clean and well maintained. If your looking for activities and places to go this is not the best choice.

  Quiet Getaway

  Love this park. We stayed with a tt. HUGE sites, very secluded. If I look really hard through the woods I can see a neighbor. Very clean, well kept. We were here for Mardi Gras so not as much hiking as we would normally do. We will be back for the trails.

  My Go To

  I absolutely adore Blakely, The whole park is very well maintained and all facilities are clean, staff is friendly and helpful. Trails are well marked and unless there has been a storm are very well maintained. So many activities can be had depending on when you go. They  have fun Blue grass bands at night around a large bonfire and food truck. 

  The delta boat tours are fantastic. The walk way on the bay is great. The campgrounds primitive are well kept and have individual fire rings and pick nick tables. 

  Love love love this spot, could not recommend enough.

  Enjoyable tent camping I

  We were assigned site 6. We were surrounded on 3 sides by woods but had neighbors directly across from us and diagonally. We were there for Mother’s Day weekend, which was cooler than normal with lows in the 50s. Friday night it rained and was quiet. Saturday the park was very busy, partly because things were finally opening up after quarantine. Mostly easy hiking with a variety of distances throughout the park from the campground. Boat tours not running when we were there. There is a boat launch if you want to bring your own. Bathhouse has restrooms on one side and showers on the other. The bathhouse serves as the public restroom for day use as well which made it very crowded at times. Food truck on Saturday for lunch was a nice surprise. Would go back again!
