      Overnight Stay

      We stayed overnight, we had a back in spot that was level. Had all the proper hook ups including a flag pole and pond view. There were lots of open spots but they did keep everyone close together. The only thing that dropped a star was the sounds from the highway was absolutely overwhelming. It was so loud we had a hard night sleeping. Would not recommend the stay if you’re not staying in something to block out sound.

      Beautiful park to camp next to the lake with 2 fishing docks. No bathrooms just port a potty. The camping price is $2 per night, no reservation is needed, and is online payment.

      Blue Springs in July '

      We camped here recently as a large family group. While our camping space could barely be called that, the park was quite nice. It was clean and well maintained, the bath house was clean, and there was lots of room for the grandkids to play and ride bikes. The springs area was shady, and the springs themselves were awesome (if you can stand the verrry cold water). The customer service was great.

      This is an Amazing KOA

      FHU, paved and level sights, clean and updated bathhouse and clean pool, playground, dogpark, koi pond, horseshoes, cute general store with necessities and souvenirs, propane refill and firewood! Has a quaint pond, with a bridge, and displays colorful lights at night. The Owner, Lori, showed us to our spot, and made sure we had everything we needed and gave us info on local shops and parks. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. We have been to this KOA 3 times now, and can’t wait to go back!

      Small, Alabama State Park, in Opp

      Arrived at guard gate and was welcomed by friendly staff. Quiet campground with waterfront site 8. Plenty of space between sites. FHU, level gravel, waterfront site with picnic table, fire ring, and grill. Felt safe, and across the street from bathrooms/laundry. Dated but clean. Woman’s bathroom with showers & bathroom stalls. 2 washers & dryers, as well as a folding table. No dog park, but plenty of nature, paved roads for walking, as well as easy to find, marked trails. 10 minutes to town, with restaurants and a few stores to pick up groceries & necessities. Playground is on the other side of the trails, as well as the boat ramp. Lots of wildlife. Would stay here again!

      Another great state park

      This is an older state park. We had a nice site that backed up to the lake. Only negatives were: the trash bin could have been closer (the exercise though was worth it) and the 'acorns' from the trees made for some loud bangs on the roof. Some nice trails for hiking.

      We were in site 22 and next trip would like to try and get 2, 5 or 15

      Park located in Opp, AL which was named for attorney Opp who brought the train hub to the town

      Beautiful!

      Great little campground. Several miles of walking paths around (part of) lake. Walk into town is about a mile. Half the sites are on the water, other half backs to trees. Full hook ups, good restroom/shower. First come, pay at the front building.

      Fantastic overnight stop

      I give this park a 5 star because it's easy, quiet, not crowded, great WIFI and the owners are here and hands on. We called ahead and the owner just said pull in a pick the spot you like then you can pay with a cc or cash. The end spots are $35 plus tax a night, the other sites are $40 with a patio and outdoor wrought iron tables and chairs. 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, it was a nice walk. They even have a catch and release pond. Laundromat and private bathrooms were very clean too. Its also a mile off the hwy so it's so quiet. We will make this our go to traveling through ozark/Dothan Alabama

      Wonderful campground

      True to the word campground. This place has trees and wildlife and a beautiful lake while also having a laundry facility, bathhouse an wifi. Not like your average luxury rv resorts ( parking lot with a pool). On-site host greets you and gets you checked in as you enter the park. Maintenence crew does a fantastic job keeping the grounds looking great year round. There is also a nearby beach swimming area and boat ramps.

      Great value for money with a spring on the doorstep.

      4 RV sites with water and electricity(30/50 amp) hookups(no sewer). Showers and toilets are very close and clean and well maintained.
      The family staff is incredibly nice and helpful.
      Internet is fantastic, both their Wi-Fi and our Starlink.

      Clean, nice views, private and luxury, ssites too close

      Nice place on the lake, well maintained. We wanted to do laundry and try new kind of a campground. Overall positive, but expensive. Sites are really near each other, no privacy. Probably ok for one time. Will go back to the more simple campgrounds. Had Wi-Fi, slow 1-2mgb/s . Att reception is fast.

      Lost Reservation: Cost me 400.00 in Gas/18 Hours' Drive Time/Vacation Day

      POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE:  I made reservations back in August of 2022 for the July 4th, 2023, weekend (11 Months in advance). On my day of arrival, June 29th, I pull into the campground to check in and come to find out, the owner, Matt Fox, had lost my reservation. Matt works from home outside of Chicago. My card had been fully charged for the full stay 11 months prior. I traveled with my truck and 33-foot bumper pull camper for approx. 450 miles to be told I have no camp site. This is a unique campground. I had no other options. Instead of them realizing their mistake and assigning me a site and then making calls to cancel a reservation that was made after mine, they simply turned me away. The onsite managers tried to figure something out by trying to fit a square into a round hole. LOL. Meaning force my 33-foot camper attached to my 4-door truck around a 90 degree turn to then hit the overhang of an adjacent camp site roof over and over an eroded trail. There was no way it would fit is my point. That made me question their knowledge of the camping world. The owners operate off site near Chicago. They micromanage the reservations and local managers have no control over it. This business model is a joke. And this is a clear example of how it does not work. And from what I heard; matt makes mistakes all the time on reservations. They don't keep good records, or they would have never lost my paid in full reservation. This cost me the customer and they don't care. So here I sit, 450 miles from home with the cost to get there, pissed off and agitated knowing that I have an 8-hour drive back home because I have no other options. And a Holiday Weekend! They said they would give me a full refund and I had to ask for 100.00 for gas assistance. But they gave me no confirmation number of the refund. That had to come from Matt! The total trip was around 18 hours and approximately 900 miles which cost me around$400.00 in gas plus a lost vacation day from work. The drive home was very frustrating. I could not believe the way I had been treated. I honestly was in disbelief. It was the owner's fault and not the camp host/managers as the owners in Chicago run the show. And not a very good job at it from my experience. I sent the owners a text and picture of my odometer showing the average mpg and how many miles traveled and the time and ask for a$900 reimbursement. But they refused. How would you feel if you drove that many miles and for that length of time and spent that amount of money for nothing? They do not know what customer service all is about. They got their camp full for the July 4th weekend with over booking so I did not matter. I was nothing to them. They even required full payment up front. They are just looking out for themselves and are struggling apparently. Please, for those reading this, stay away. Its not worth what I went through to walk around naked and have man on man sex in the woods. This place disgusts me from a customer service standpoint.

      Old and run down. The staff are lazy

      As far as the campground goes, the ground is nice and even with fire pits and trees. But the bathrooms and showers are dirty and gross. The staff is lazy and rude. The grounds are rundown. The slides look dirty and unsafe. Over it was over priced for the experience offered.

      Good Overnighter or Short Stay Option

      This review is based on a short-term stay versus a destination campground(CG). We traveled into the CG on the US highways following our RV GPS from FL with no issues getting to this CG. Check-in was very easy, and we were guided to our online reservation first choice, end site 19. Our check-in person was concerned we might not like pulling through site 19. He was correct, as this site was too short and had an incline at the unhitch point. We proceeded to the newer area, where we were given the choice of pull-through sites 97& 98, which were both FHUs and flat. We chose 98, which was fairly level and plenty long enough for our 5th wheel and F450. The sites in this CG are close to each other. There were no trees so that we could have put out our satellite, but there was no need due to the great cable selection. We got 3 bars on Verizon and used our MifI for what little internet we needed. We tried but could not connect to the CG's WiFi. They have very good water pressure, so we used a reducer. Where we were in the back of the CG, we could still hear the highway. There was no formal dog park, but plenty of areas to walk your dog. This is an older park with many permanent and seasonal residents. We were impressed that, for the most part, there was not that“trailer trash” look, and the residents were friendly. There are newer water and electric sites in the 100s area in front of where we were. There’s a shower house and laundry, but we did not use these facilities. This CG is a good short-stay option.

      Excellent RV Hideaway

      We stayed here from 29 Apr - 13 May 2023. We originally reserved a spot for 1 week but,had such a positive experience, we extended it for another week. We were in Spot #15 which sits directly in front of one of the several bodies of water on-site. Kickback sports a pool, laundry facility, game room, general store, large tv room, hiking/bike trails, large water slide (separate from pool), and a very strong wifi signal. The entire staff was extremely courteous and very helpful. Already looking forward to our next stay there!

      Outstanding

       This is one of the best campgrounds we've ever stayed! Beautiful, picturesque campsites. A lot of them have lake views. Bathrooms/showers are gorgeous.

      We didn't use the pool.

      They have a nice camp store/office. 

       There's a lot of wooden fishing docks. Boats to rent.

      The gate has an access code, but they text you with the code. I didn't check my texts, so there was some confusion on my part.

      The only negative thing I can think of to say is the sites are rather tight. We had an empty site next to us for 2 nights, so it was all good!
