1 campground with availability this weekend
Chickasaw State Park Campground near Gallion, Alabama has glamping accommodations in yurt settings within a scenic roadside park, offering a distinctive alternative to traditional camping. The area also includes Miller's Ferry Campground and Meridian East-Toomsuba KOA as sites offering elevated outdoor stays. One guest noted, "We loved it. It was when I was a child but I can remember it like it was yesterday." These glamping options feature amenities that regular campsites don't provide, including electricity, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and protection from the elements. While Chickasaw is smaller with limited sites, the yurts provide a cozy retreat for those seeking a blend of camping with basic luxuries. The accommodations place visitors near water recreation at Miller's Ferry and close to wildlife viewing in the WMA property across from Chickasaw.
The sites offer nature-focused activities while providing a comfortable base from which to explore. A recent visitor mentioned, "This is one of my favorite places to spend a few days. It is by a beautiful lake and a friendly, well kept campground." The KOA location at Meridian East-Toomsuba supplements glamping with an elaborate water slide, swimming pool, and game room—making it particularly appealing for families. Water access is a highlight at Miller's Ferry, where glamping accommodations place visitors alongside the Alabama River. Fishing opportunities abound, with many sites situated with water views. The glamping locations maintain proximity to small towns for basic supplies, with Meridian offering dining options approximately 15-20 minutes away. Summer months typically see the highest demand, with reservations recommended for the limited glamping accommodations, especially during peak seasons when visitors seek the comfort of structured canvas and wood accommodations with natural surroundings.

TravelerNice location in the woods. Down side is occasional traffic on country road that is right along the pull thru sites and some kind of salvage yard down the street. Almost don’t notice the noise from either during the day and no noise late afternoon, evening. Camp host is super nice and everything is clean and working.
ScoutNice refreshing pool and lots of things to do while taking it easy. Extremely clean camp ground, and the restrooms and showers are spotless. I gave this camp ground 5 stars, the only thing I would change is I wish you had more space in between camp sites. Awesome place, we will be back.
GuideWe were just passing thru but used their dump station. Super convenient and clean. They only asked for a donation. Very kind couple!
TravelerThis was a great place to stay overnight. Gravel sites . New owners are making improvements. Road to the campground was narrow and a little bumpy getting there but was reasonable for an overnight stay. The owner was super nice đź‘Ť
TravelerPeaceful! Wish it had more trails but it was nice.
LegendThird 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!
GuideIt is very easy to drive your rig in this park. I have read some reviews where people talk about the drive into the part as being horrible. When you leave I 20, you drive down a county road. It is the typical width of a county road. So just slow down and it is no problem. We drive a 44’ fifth wheel with a dually truck. Some sites have concrete(not in the best shape) and some have gravel pads. There are many trees but the park keeps them trim away from the roads. It was great to have shade. There is full hookup pull thru sites along with some back in sites. There are plenty of areas to walk your dogs along with a nice enclosed dog park. There are many activities for children– a large sandbox, pool, a water slide, playground, tether ball and a game room. This park is about 2 miles off I 20. It is very quiet. There are a few long timers but primary people stopping for one night Each night it is full and then empty by noon the next day. We were there for several months and paid$525 for the month. This included electricity. When we originally arrived, our plan was to stay one month to visit family. But due to some health issues with ourselves and our family, we ended up staying for over 6 months. The best part of this park is the staff. Each staff is friendly, welcoming and will do anything possible to make our staff so wonderful. The staff take meticulous care of the park including picking up daily all the cigarette butts that people think they can just leave on the ground. Due to their service, they get a lot of repeat customer visits.
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.
LegendGreat space between sites, pet friendly, nice bathrooms and showers, friendly and helpful host, clean site with concrete pad and picnic table and fire pit! Water access nearby and fun swimming area and playground! Our family had Lots of fun & We will definitely be back!
