Nice park with reasonable pricing
Stayed here for two nights. This place has everything we expect in a state park. Good roads, good day use area, great bathrooms, good spacing between campsites, beautiful views and camp store.
Showers were very hot and the bathrooms were very clean!
The best part was the price. I showed up without a reservation and got two nights with water and electric service for real cheap compared to everywhere else we camped for the last 7 months.

Stayed in primitive area and a couple sites are close to water but not a good walk way down to water.

Older campgrounds
It’s a large campground with a lot of full time campers on site. Nice lake at 102 sq acres in size. Did have an issue that most sites are only 50 or 30amp hookups only, so I had to borrow a 30 to 120 adapter. The hiking trails were closed which sucked since I was looking forward to a hike with the dog. They are building a new pool. Good luck getting a lakeside site since I was told only 8 are available and are full most of the time.

Great
We will be back in the fall for an extended weekend trip. Staff was super friendly and helpful helping us find ice cream during a storm rolling thru. The site we had was up hill facing the lake which worked out with a small trailer.

Only one night
First impressions pulling in I was thinking it was going to be awesome but while setting up we noticed thrash all over. The wife picked up a full bag of garbage while I was setting up. It was around 7pm we noticed that this camping area is a special spot for tweakers and some sketchy people. They did keep to themselves which worked out. I’d say this location isn’t that bad if you’re a believer in the 2nd and watching out constantly. The camper next to us decided to run the loudest generator from 8pm on. Going to the restroom early am noticed a guy up and watching from a distance. Also someone in the stall having a weird intense conversation with himself and was in there for over a hour. Park does have the possibility of being a great campground with some improvements and someone keeping out the tweakers.

Quick night stay
Ended up at this location after a crappy night in Alabama. It was very clean nice location. Very nice Mississippi State Park Campground. All the staff were very friendly and Gary was a great guy that we chatted with for a bit after checking in. Restrooms were clean and air conditioned. Family type campgrounds with friendly happy campers. We will be back a lot more in the future.

Campground by the lake
We camped over the weekend in the old part of the campground. All sites have a firepit and a picnic bench. The sites are not very leveled and some were kinda flooded after heavy rain. It was just a bit run down. The bathhouse was old but clean and had good water pressure. The sites on the other side of the lake were absolutely beautiful and definitely newer. A lot of things in the campground were closed like the pool, lodge, and nature center. It seems they were under construction. The park has several trails to hike on. We did the one starting on the swinging bridge. They was good water access from a creek along the way, which was perfect for the dogs to cool off. We also visited Tupelo, which is about 50 min away. It was very interesting to see, where Elvis was from. I'm not sure if I would camp here again. Maybe in the late fall or winter time, when it's not so hot and humid.

Great spot
We had one of the primitive tent sites. It was great and hardly anyone else was at the park. Too cold for the water when we went. Bathrooms could have been nicer but better than nothing.

Only a small area is for short term , no wifi
No wifi per office with no known date of repair. Relatively quiet, lots of vehicle traffic and golf carts. Office staff is very helpful and friendly. Majority of park is longterm. Dog friendly, no dog park at location. Close to shopping but far enough away for quiet.
Laura D.GuideJ.P. Coleman State Park Campground
JP Coleman camp spots are close to the water!
We stayed on campsite #55. It was back away from the water but we had a clear view to the water. Beautiful park.

Needs TLC
The campground is quite large with lots of things to explore. A lot of the roads, especially around the campsites were in need of repair. I had full hookup with 30 amp service, though not all of the sites have sewer. All of the lakeside sites are taken up by resident campers (of which there are a lot). I had absolutely no cell service through Verizon and my T-Mobile 5g internet had no reception either (even with a booster). Luckily, I was able to rely on my Starlink. A lot of the buildings looked like they had seen better days, but were maintained as well as they could be. Staff were nice and pleasant. Meriwether Lewis death/gravesite was nearby and interesting to check out. Not a whole lot else to do in the area. There is a low bridge (11ft) that you need to pass under to get onto the Natchez Trace Parkway. If you can’t fit, you have to take Napier road north several miles. There is a wal-mart in town about 20 or so minutes away.

A beautiful great location
So many bad reviews for this site. Complainers!! Yes big hills and horrible roads in the park, but your in the sticks, sooo.... Plenty level spots. Some Sites are full and some are partial hook-ups. Plenty spots w easy access and plenty not so easy. Wifi is available to purchase $25 for the week, no issues thus far. Beautiful location. Natchez Trace Pkwy has plenty to learn and explore!!! Cute, lively little towns nearby that have kept up that old town look with awesome shops! In Hohenwald there is an elephant sanctuary. It has a location in town to teach about that sanctuary (No elephants are kept there)

Quick Trip
Park has huge potential! The refurbished sites are level and nicely laid out with water a sewer. The older sites not so much. Plenty of hiking trails, disc golf, fishing and kayaking available.

Dismals Canyon Cabins and Primitive Campsites
Cabins are nice but expensive
Located in Northwest Alabama, not far from the Sipsey Wilderness, Dismals Canyon offers an unparalleled camping experience that stands out in the state. While it may lean toward the higher end in terms of cost, the memories you create during a special weekend getaway here are absolutely worth it. During our most recent visit, we chose to stay in one of the cozy cabins, but the campgrounds also present an excellent lodging option. These cabins feature a generously sized kitchen, a warm and inviting living room complete with a fireplace, and two comfortable bedrooms. Outside, there are ample spaces perfect for relaxation and al fresco dining. The campgrounds are situated just across the street from the rest of the park and require a short stroll to reach. They offer a variety of camping choices, each with its unique appeal. For more detailed information about these options, you can refer to their website. A standout experience during our stay was embarking on the night hike the first evening we arrived. This adventure allowed us to explore the canyon in the darkness before immersing ourselves in its beauty during daylight hours. We were fortunate enough to enjoy a private tour on a Friday night and were treated to a mesmerizing display of glow worms, which call this canyon home. While the trails within Dismals Canyon may not be particularly lengthy, you'll find yourself utterly captivated by the allure of the surroundings. Be sure to allocate a full day to fully explore and lose yourself in the canyon's enchantment. In summary, Dismals Canyon delivers a camping experience like no other in Northwest Alabama, close to the Sipsey Wilderness. Whether you opt for the cozy cabins or the campgrounds, you'll be treated to a remarkable getaway. Don't pass up the opportunity to embark on a night hike to witness the canyon's beauty illuminated by the glow worms. With its captivating charm, Dismals Canyon guarantees cherished memories.

Beautiful Campground at the River!
I really liked staying here. Lots of space in the forest and a few spots right at the water. Almost no one here in July 2023. Free!

Serene, quiet little getaway
Really enjoyed the views. Some of the old spots are tight, but still doable with a smaller rig. We stayed at site 4 (old side) as it was our first time staying there. The site was great as it was looking over the lake and not a far walk to the bathhouse and tank dump if you need them. No sewer hook ups at old sites, but do have them at the new ones. When we left, we went to the new side and it’s a lot nicer with sewer hookups.. even had handicap spots.

Pool was out of order. Roads needed a lot of love. Wifi was not good. General store was nice and employees were all nice. Close to Merriweather Lewis's final resting place.

Nice and secluded
Beautiful campsite surround trees. Very quiet and secluded. There is water and electric hookups at each site and a dump station on the grounds as you leave. This was a very clean and safe campground. I loved being away from everything and in nature. Lots of trails to explore.

Primitive Camping
Great camping spot. Quiet and very spacious. We had the entire primitive side to ourselves. Plenty of amenities, close to all the waterfalls and nature trails. The beach was an awesome bonus. The price for primitive was a tad extreme.

Park is located on the Tennessee River in Florence Alabama. No length of stay restrictions in off season. Reasonable site density with tables and paved pads. Bathrooms are horrible, so bring your own

Our favorite campsite
We love this campsite, nestled away in the backwoods relatively easy to get to. We go here all the time, the rangers are always nice and constantly watching/riding around making sure there is no one causing trouble. New campsites with full hookups are coming soon but even the older ones are nice, just no sewer. And most of the older sites are on the water
NapunaniLegendJ.P. Coleman State Park Campground
Nice Lake View...but
PROS
We were able to reserve 368 days prior to arrival
Very friendly and helpful check-in clerk
Fantastic view of the lake from site 45
Mostly quiet except for campground party animals until 3am!
Concrete parking pad
BBQ grill
Fire ring constructed of concrete pavers
Coin-operated washers/dryers in shower/toilet facility
Small playground, pool and mini-golf course
Good jumping off point for Shiloh Battlefield
CONS
Campsite 45 was full of litter…cigarettes butts, bones, bottle caps, pieces of chalk, straws, melted soda bottles…just nasty
Fire ring made of concrete pavers full of ash and trash upon arrival…again nasty Pedestal BBQ grill full of trash and ash upon arrival…more nastiness
Campers ignored basic rules/courtesy/respect such as keeping dogs on leash and walking through occupied campsites at anytime. One camper walking through our site complained to us our chairs on our site were in THEIR way.
No senior discount
Narrow site
Site 45 not level
Site 45 mostly fun sun
Basically we didn't experience any of the campground rules being enforced so obviously there is no management oversight at this State Park
Never saw a park ranger drive through the campground (Saturday-Monday)
Never saw a camp host or a campsite for a camp host
Campground quiet hours not enforced
Posted "No Swimming” from campsites along lake, but that didn’t stop a sole and no one enforced it
Concrete picnic table at end of parking pad, so at the bumper of the camper
Sites very close to each other with no vegetation between sites, so no privacy what so ever
Street lights throughout campground, so not dark sky friendly
Small playground, pool and mini-golf course not walkable from campground
Trash dumpsters outside of campground…not walkable
Twisty, steep and narrow roadway into campsite...not for novice rig drivers
Due to short campsites, tow vehicles had to be creative with parking, sometimes blocking most of the campground road, again no enforcement efforts
No WiFi
1 bar Verizon
