Foscue Creek Campground welcomes pets at all campsites with clean, well-maintained grounds along the Black Warrior River. The pet-friendly sites feature full hookups, level concrete pads surrounded by pea gravel, picnic tables, and fire rings. Nearby Forkland Campground also accommodates dogs at its approximately 40 waterfront campsites equipped with water and electric hookups. Both established campgrounds maintain security gates that close at 10pm and reopen at 6am, requiring campers to contact park hosts for after-hours access. Tent campers and RV owners enjoy spacious, shaded sites at these Corps of Engineers parks, with Foscue Creek offering the additional convenience of sewer hookups. Campers consistently note the exceptionally clean bathhouses and well-kept grounds throughout both properties. Bathrooms remain stocked with toilet paper and basic supplies.
Dogs can explore the nature trails at Forkland Campground, which offers a calming walk through wooded areas with views of the Black Warrior River and McConnico Creek. Belmont Park provides free camping with pets allowed at its 15 sites, though amenities are more basic with vault toilets and no hookups. The Demopolis area experiences significant mosquito activity around sunset, so pet owners should pack insect repellent for themselves and appropriate protection for their animals. Most campsites feature ample space between neighbors, providing pets with room to relax on-leash at their owners' sites. Foscue Creek's waterfront sites offer direct river access, perfect for dogs who enjoy swimming, though they can be difficult to reserve, especially on weekends. The surrounding waterways provide excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, and wildlife observation with four-legged companions.

GuideWe were looking for a place to overnight. We found this place on the dirt. Full hookups, swimming pool, bath house, dog park, fishing lake, and oh yes! There is a train caboose on site. No real shade, but no matter. LEVEL CONCRETE PAD!
GuideNo shade in this side of the park, but no worries. We needed a place to stay for the night and they had an opening with full hook ups. There’s a swimming pool, dog park, and bath house. Not to mention the level concrete pads!
Kids would love the fact that there’s a train caboose on site. Convenient, super easy to find a spot, and the lady in the office is super sweet.
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.
RangerVery nice large concrete pads with large gravel picnic area. Full hookups, picnic table, fire ring, fish table, pole for light. Our site was river front and saw lots of barrages go by each day. trees around but great views from most sites either of river or water. Can ride bikes down to the Lock and Dam areas. About 2 1/2 miles ride around campground. US Army Core of Engineer campground. Very well maintained! Demopolis, Alabama
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!
RangerThis area was absolutely gorgeous. We took a trip to Alabama a few summers ago to visit family, and decided to do some camping and hiking before we went home. The drive was beautiful. The campground itself is located right next to a lake- Demopolis Lake. We later learned that this lake is actually one of the largest lakes that is on the Black Warrior Tombigbee Waterway. Thought this was a cool fact. It was pretty hot, so having this lake was definitely great. There were tons of people out on the lake fishing, swimming, jet skiing and kayaking. There is a boat ramp too. There is also some really great hiking nearby, which we enjoyed in the morning. The hike we did had some amazing views of the Black Warrior River and McConnico Creek. Nothing like getting to the top of a hike and seeing lakes beneath you! The campground was great, and had everything we needed. There were about 40 campsites total, all set up with water hookups. There is a playground onsite, picnic table area, showers, and laundry! Most campgrounds don't off shower and laundry- so this would be a great place to visit if you plan to stay a few nights/weeks. Just FYI- there are gates which open at 6am and close at 10pm. Loved our stay here, and would definitely come back.
LegendThis is a great boat launch with picnic areas. Well maintained with public restrooms. You cannot camp here, but there is nearby camping facilities in both Forkland and Demopolis.
RangerThis COE park is within a two hours drive of home for us. We visit several times every year. Not a bad site there. Quite and seems out in the country side, but actuall within 3 miles of Demopolis. FHU’s but kinda low water pressure (40 psi). There are 4 GREAT sites directly on the Warrior River, and MIGHT be available during the week.
Campgrounds around Demopolis lie in Alabama's Black Belt region, named for its rich black topsoil. Located at the confluence of the Black Warrior and Tombigbee Rivers, these campgrounds sit at approximately 120 feet above sea level with summer temperatures typically exceeding 90°F. The area's clay-heavy soil can become challenging for tent stakes and vehicle navigation during wet weather.

Nature trail exploration: Forkland Campground features a serene nature trail through wooded areas. One camper described it as "very calming and enjoyable," making it particularly appealing for casual hikers or those seeking quieter outdoor activities.

The COE parks provide vantage points to watch river traffic, with one reviewer calling it "A beautiful, quiet, COE campground... with plenty of access to the river!"
Clean facilities: COE Demopolis Lake Foscue Creek Campground receives consistent praise for maintenance. One camper noted, "Immaculate grounds throughout the campground. Always saw someone working at it," and specifically mentioned "Bathhouse very clean and in good working condition with soap and TP."
Spacious sites: Sites at Jennings Ferry are notably large, with one camper describing them simply as "spacious sites" and another mentioning "Nice level site. Clean. Friendly hosts." The campground features deck overlooks at select waterfront locations.

A reviewer notes it has "15 campsites" with "Bathrooms with running water" and "Two sites can accommodate rigs up to 30 feet," making it suitable for tent campers and smaller RVs seeking no-cost options.
Gate hours: Security gates operate at several campgrounds with strict hours. At Foscue Creek, "Security gates closed at 10p; open at 6a. No overnight entry," requiring campers to contact park hosts for after-hours access.
Limited connectivity: Cell service varies significantly. One camper at Foscue Creek reported "Miserable on Visible (Verizon) and Cricket (ATT). The WeBoost made it usable," while another noted "T-MOBILE 2 bars" at the same location.
