  Family Time Campground

  Break Out the Family Camping Here!

  This little gem is tucked away on the central-eastern side of Alabama, just a 20 or so minute drive from the AL-GA state line, just due south of Columbia, right off the Omusee Creek. Over in these parts you’ll find some solid nature to interact with, trails to hike and of course, all the fun and enjoyment you’d expect being this close to the water. 

  Let me share a bit about Family Time Campground: there’s a sweet little solar-heated pool that’s perfect for a classic sundowner (and not so great for swimming laps!), plenty of shaded and grassy areas for RV and trailers (22 spots in all), spacious long level lots in a private gated community, filtered water and free rentals, newly finished covered pavilion with about a half dozen brand new picnic tables that has a brand new BBQ, children’s playground, community firepit for s’mores and a fully functioning laundry facility. This RV site has full electrical, water and sewage hook-ups, free WiFi and there’s even a fully-stocked kitchen you can access while on site. For those that aren’t hauling their living room behind them, this property also has (3) bunk houses, (3) cabins, (4) camp rentals and even stationary RV’s for rent.

  Insider’s Tip? On Sunday’s this campground offers up "all-you-can eat" pancake breakfast for $4 – you can’t beat this! Of course, there is the famed Coheelee Creek Covered Bridge that apparently people come from all over to see. For a good spot to dine out at, I recommend Log Cabin Restaurant right across the AL-GA state line in nearby Blakely – they’ve got everything you could think of fried, as well as some things that shouldn’t be fried, but taste great regardless! Last tip – if you’re out to kayak or canoe, get out either early or late, as the current during the middle of the day can be quite strong. 

  Happy Camping!

  Frank Jackson State Park Campground

  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!

  Omussee Creek Park

  No Frills Campground Outing

  Omussee Creek Park is tucked away on the central-eastern side of Alabama, just a (couple of) stone’s throws from the AL-GA state line, just due south of Columbia, right off the Chattahoochee River. While there’s not a lot in the way of attractions out in these parts, there is plenty of nature to discover, from covered hiking trails (do bring a machete!), splendid little canals and streams that eventually connect to the Chattahoochee as well as some pretty splendid bird watching from the Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher and American Goldfinch to the never boring Blue Jay. 

  Insider’s Tip? There is the famed Coheelee Creek Covered Bridge that apparently people come from all over to see (I’m not really quite sure why that is although it appears to be one of the singular covered bridges in the state). For a good spot to dine out at, I recommend Log Cabin Restaurant right across the AL-GA state line in nearby Blakely – they’ve got everything you could think of fried, as well as some things that shouldn’t be fried, but taste great regardless! 

  Last tip – if you’re out to kayak or canoe, get out either early or late, as the current during the middle of the day can be quite strong. From a camping standpoint, brace yourself for bringing everything with you that you’ll need. The campgrounds are about 15 acres of pretty flat land with some decent brush around it, complete with typical 30/50 amp electrical, water and sewage hookups. There’s only 3 camping sites for tents all have fire pits with picnic tables. On-site, there’s a canoe launch ramp, covered picnic shelter, fishing hole and several walking trails to choose from. 

  Happy Camping!

  Ozark-Fort Rucker KOA

  Awesome stay

  My kids and I absolutely loved it here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We did tent “glamping” so we had electric, water and wifi nearby but still enjoyed our time away from concrete buildings. We had a fire pit, picnic table, and parking to ourselves. The pool came in clutch since it is very humid and hot over there. It was nice, CLEAN and refreshing. My kids are not too big so we had enough space to play backyard games not sure there is enough grassy area for older kids or adults. You can walk around and down to the pond and check out the surroundings for added entertainment. The bathrooms and showers were tidy and clean. I really did love it here and based on my experience here I will be looking at other KOA Journeys to visit. My experience is based on a tent site and I’m fairly new to camping. Hope this helps!

  The Oaks Family RV Park & Campground

  Great Experience!

  We had a great experience camping here! We’re seasoned tent campers but just bought our first RV and had a ton of questions 😂. Robbie was so helpful and knowledgeable, he made our stay super easy and shared all kinds of helpful tips. Friendly staff and neighbors!

  The campground is very clean, neat and tidy. It’s very clear the maintenance of the grounds is never let go. The concrete pads are level and have plenty of maneuvering space around them(helpful especially if you’re new). The bathhouse has 4 large private bathrooms with showers, toilets, sink and an oversized bench for your stuff. The pavilion has grills, a tv and a massive brick fireplace. The pond is very peaceful and makes for a great spot to watch the sunrise. It’s also full of fish for you to catch and there’s a designated fish cleaning station by the bath houses! There’s also a fenced in miniature dog park! There’s a cell tower nearby so service is great and our HDTV antenna picked up crystal clear. The park is easily accessible from the highway and clearly marked. The gravel road in the campground is tidy, solid and well maintained like the rest of the park.

  We’ll be back again very soon!

  Frank Jackson State Park Campground

  Lakeside camping in southern Alabama

  We stopped here for one night on our way from Alabama to Florida and were pleasantly surprised how much we liked this part of southern Alabama and how nice the park was. After a long days drive it was a perfect place to take our dog for a walk to stretch our legs and settle in to a great campsite. The lake adjacent to our campsite made for a beautiful backdrop for our evening campfire. 

  Turns out this 2,050-acre park is a hot spot for anglers which cruise the 1,000-acre Lake Jackson looking for hungry fish. The ranger told us the lake is stocked bass, bream, crappie and catfish and holds numerous tournaments. We really liked the setting of the campground with many sites being directly on the lake. Our gravel site was a long back-in right on the water and perfectly level for our RV. The park recently added primitive tent sites which offer more privacy and a nice setting away from RVs. Our campsite was set under large trees and we had nice privacy on one side by the other side had a neighbor pretty close. Luckily for us when we were there the park was not crowded and the lack of campers made for a quiet setting.  (Tip: Site #1 has a great view of the water and set off by itself and is probably the best in the park.) 

  For a state park this differs from many in that it has lots of modern features. The 32 RV sites have electric, sewer, water and Wi-Fi and cable! You can even stay for a whole season, if you want. Prices vary widely depending on whether you want a primitive tent site, site on water, or off water. Additional fees of a reservation fee ($4), 3% resort fee, and 12% lodging tax are added to the cost and really add up.

  Amenities include a large playground, swim beach, boat launch, laundry, and restrooms with showers. There are miles of hiking trails winding through the woods and a boardwalk that takes you over to trails on an island. You know you are in the south when the swim beach has a sign that says “Beware of alligators and snakes, Swim at your own risk.”

  During our stay the park was hosting its annual “Scarecrows in the Park” function.  For this event, walking trails are lined with decorative scarecrows made by local individuals, businesses, organizations and school groups.  The scarecrows and scenes they depict are quite creative but some are a little creepy.

  Overall, this is a good place to stay in southern Alabama if you are looking for a nice full hook-up site that is in a pretty setting. The price was on the high side because of all the added fees but it was the perfect location for us to stop on our route.
