Best Campgrounds near Eufaula, AL

269 Reviews

Camping near Eufaula, Alabama centers around Lake Eufaula (Walter F. George Reservoir), with multiple established campgrounds along its shoreline in both Alabama and Georgia. The area includes several Army Corps of Engineers (COE) campgrounds, state parks, and private RV parks that accommodate tent campers, RVs, and cabin stays. Lakepoint Resort State Park Campground in Eufaula provides year-round camping with full hookups, while White Oak Creek Campground offers lakefront sites with water and electric hookups. Across the state line, Florence Marina State Park and Cotton Hill campgrounds in Georgia provide additional options for water-based recreation.

Most campgrounds in the Eufaula area are open year-round, though some COE sites like Hardridge Creek Campground operate seasonally from March through September. Summer months bring hot, humid conditions with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F, while winters are generally mild. Insect activity is significant, particularly during warmer months. According to campers, "the bug population was booming with gnats and mosquitoes" at certain lakeside locations. Verizon cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, with most campgrounds reporting good coverage. Reservations are recommended, especially for weekend stays during peak fishing season, and can typically be made through Recreation.gov for COE sites or state park websites.

The camping experience varies significantly between developed and primitive sites. Rood Creek Park Camping offers free primitive camping with a 14-day limit, featuring basic amenities like outhouses and trash collection. In contrast, developed campgrounds like those at Lakepoint Resort provide full hookups, showers, and camp stores. Many sites feature waterfront locations with fishing access, boat ramps, and fish cleaning stations. Wildlife viewing opportunities include waterfowl, herons, eagles, and alligators. As one camper noted, "The lake had several signs denoting the presence of alligators," which affects swimming options at some locations. Proximity to Providence Canyon State Park, often called "Georgia's Little Grand Canyon," provides a unique day trip opportunity for hikers staying in the area.

    Rood Creek Park Camping

    Perfect Spot

    Perfect camp spot. Drove a dirt road through farmland about a mile or so and took a left at the end towards the campground. Only one other campsite taken. Each site has a trash can and a picnic table. It was awesome. Had my own bathroom setup, so didn’t check theirs out, but they have a small facility. We did see a small gator in the creek. Woke up to fog on the water. It was beautiful!

    Also had 1-2 bars of service with T Mobile.

    Chewacla State Park Campground

    Close to Buc-ees and I-85!

    I called on Sunday afternoon and immediately connected to a young lady who assured me that a site was available. The loop is nicely designed, full hookups, passing your target on the left (better visibility). There are glamping tents for rent. Several hiking trails, including a waterfall trail are inside the gate checkpoint. The park is close to town, meaning abundance of food options and cheap gas (2.499) on June 6, 2025.

    Lakepoint Resort State Park Campground

    Memorial Day weekend

    Lakepoint Campground is an absolute treasure! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, well-maintained, and peaceful everything was. The campsites are spacious and thoughtfully laid out, providing just the right amount of privacy while still feeling connected to the natural surroundings.

    The lake views are breathtaking—perfect for early morning coffee or a sunset stroll. We enjoyed fishing, biking, and just soaking in the beauty of the area. The trails are well-marked and offer a great variety for all skill levels. Plus, the wildlife sightings were a real treat—deer, birds, and even a curious raccoon or two!

    Restrooms and showers were clean and well-stocked, which is always a huge plus.

    Highly recommend to anyone who loves the outdoors!

    Rood Creek Park Camping

    Beautiful location for peace

    This was a beautiful and quiet spot to camp. The most awesome part was the price, free! There is a time limit, you can only camp for 14 days out of 30 unless you've contacted the Parks department and gotten permission for a longer stay before you arrive. We came in on a Tuesday and there was plenty of spaces available. 

    The park does have a number of local "regulars" who come out to enjoy the park on the weekends and some as part of their "monthly rotation" for camper living, they were nice folks. We stayed for our 2 weeks and it seemed that Thursdays were the busiest day as people were traveling through and ended up "overflowing" from the Florence Marina Campground that is just 5 min up the road.

    There is no water or power so it's definitely a "primitive camp" area and there is one permanent outhouse which they refill toilet paper in each Friday when they also pick up the trash from the camp trash cans. 

    We rented a JohnBoat, aka Dingy for the WestCoasters, for $35 for 4 hours from Florence Marina and so had use of their showers on that day. Eufaula has a few laundromats so we did our laundry there to get in and out efficiently. Next time we stay here I'll probably choose a laundry/shower day and rent a paid site from Florence for that day but not move my tent and just go use their shower and laundry facility (laundry does have a small cost per load). I also got ice and firewood a couple of times from Florence when I needed a restock and didn't want to go far.

    Deer Run RV Park

    Good Stop Over

    Our GPS led us directly to the campground (CG) on US-231, conveniently located on the west side of Troy, AL. Check-in was quick and hassle-free. We stayed at site 60, which featured full hookups (FHUs) and a level cement pad with well-positioned utilities. Water pressure was high, so we used a reducer. The CG offers WiFi, but we couldn’t locate the guest network during our overnight stay. This wasn’t an issue, as we relied on our Starlink and T-Mobile home internet, which performed well despite just one bar on our phone. Verizon reception was also solid at three bars. The CG provides cable, which we didn’t use, but our camping friends in site 59 confirmed it worked well. The older section of the CG is shaded with mature trees, while the newer area has fewer, making it ideal for satellite users. Compared to our last visit a few years ago, the only noticeable upgrade was the addition of tiny houses near the office. The CG remains clean and well-maintained. One downside was the heavy traffic at our site from long-term residents returning from work, many of whom didn’t observe the speed limit. Deer Run also offers water and electric sites in the newer back section, which we plan to request for future short stays.

    Florence Marina State Park Campground

    Truck Camping with the family

    The camp sites are so close together which wasn’t good. Lots of people and no one respected others sites. At all hours they was walking through other peoples camping spots. There was about a dozen kids ages 5-10 that ran around til 10pm and was hiding in the bathrooms and showers being loud and making it a game. No parents in sight. So I didn’t get to shower til they finally stopped. The hosts are so sweet though and even showed us where the alligators are. Didn’t see any but it was cold. Greet laundry for a dollar!
