Best Tent Camping near Fort Rucker, AL

I really appreciated having the separate tent area, which always makes for a quieter camp. The sites are right on the water and have a nice breeze. There are a few trees spread about, but definitely not a lot of shade or privacy. But even a holiday weekend, the tent sites were not all full when I went. A bit of a trek to the restroom (but also made the tent site area quieter from the rest of the campground, which is quite large). Has a small swimming area, but was pretty overgrown and not that enticing while I was there. This makes a pretty good camping base to explore Providence Canyon and the even closer George T. Bagby State Park and Kolomoki Mounds. Also, exceptional sunsets from the tent sites as they face west!

Cotton Hill campground was a great pick. Staff-Helpful Location-Ft Gaines, GA Site-97/98 nicely shaded with lake access 20 steps away. Amenities-clean bathrooms, water, electric close by. Site-tent site clean and included bench, prep table, fire ring, park grill, and hooked post to hang food, trash from. Wildlife-deer every morning, bald eagles, kingfishers, huge white and grey herons, alligator.

Recommendations-bring or buy live bait for fishing..none close by. Tent site is crushed/compacted fine gravel and is difficult to get pegs into..bring a hammer and metal pegs. Would definitely come again.

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!

This review is from an overnight(Harvest Host) point of view versus a destination campground. GPS brought us through Dothan, AL to the campground with no issues. Rosemount is a new campground and we decided to try our first Harvest Host overnighter at this CG as we had recently had our lithium battery setup installed and would have backup power if needed. We had called the day prior to see if they had a Harvest Host spot available and were told yes and the owner explained how it worked. We were asked to call about an hour out, which we did and were warmly greeted by the onsite campground manager upon arrival. They had one other RVer coming in so we were told to pick one of the remaining empty spots. We chose site 7 that had FHUs and 50 AMP service. A requirement of Harvest Host is to make a purchase, but since the campground doesn’t sell anything, they just charge$10 for the night and you can use all of the hookups. From looking at the website, the regular price is$40 for a RV site. The CG has 15 RV sites that have FHUs. This was a newer campground and a work in progress. Our site was fairly level and the utilities were to the rear. The CG was about half full with transient or permanent guests who were very friendly and quiet. The CG is in a country setting with plenty of space that included tent camping(there were none when we were there). There was a restroom/shower house/laundry(2 washers and dryers) facility. The facility was very clean. They also had a covered picnic area and an area with corn hole and horseshoes. There was also a small fenced dog area, but the CG has fields on two sides so we took our two pups there to run. They have WiFi but we did not use it. For the price of$10 this was a good overnighter.

It used to be an awesome campground before the new owners took over, yes the new people have improved the place a lot and has made it a lot prettier, but unless you have a camper or RV your pretty much Sol. They offer a free primitive spot for tints but it's not the greatest pretty much maybe a half acre lot with places to pitch a tent, no firing, they do have a big pavilion at that spot but pretty boring honestly. They won't rent you a camper or RV spot to pitch a tent either, website says cabins coming soon but we've been watching the website for about two or three years now and still haven't seen any cabins.

We used to camp this place every weekend in our tents but sadly we don't go there anymore because of the new rules and owners. Never had a problem paying whatever the RV site cost was to camp there on the tent until they took over.

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!

Lake surrounds all sites. Beautiful setting.private baths.huge amenities center. Fishing and glamping tents

This is a very clean, well kept campground. They have cabins, rv/camper spots, and tent spots. Nice dock for fishing, not alot to do for older kids, there's a small playground for smaller kids.

Primarily setup around Scuba Diving. Dive shop on site. Cabins, group cabins, tents and RV sites. Although a great place, not recommended for children. A lot of cussing in the dive shop by staff. Other then that Great.

Ashley here with The Dyrt. The details are in the name. Plenty of space to park your RV or pitch a tent. BBQ provided. Check them out and come back here to leave your review.

I've been here a couple of times for diving and hanging out with friends this place was great. They have rooms available, cabins available, RV spots, and areas to set up a tent. There are many things to do on property. Swimming, diving, water slides, swings, bike trails hiking trails, and Jeep trails.

Real nice campground that is free by reservation only, book at camplife.com. Three small spots that are ideal for smaller setups or tents. The sites are pretty close together, but each has it's own pavilion, fire ring, grill and trash can. From here it's a short paddle to Cypress Springs. We are visiting in late Febraury and the water has just receded below flood stage. This campground does flood so be mindful of that when planning a visit. Two bars of Verizon 4G.

I have stayed there on several occasions traveling with a fifth wheel camper. It's a very pretty and peaceful place. There is a small pond that you can fish in or if no one is fishing and you have a dog that loves water, they can go for a swim. It has lots for all types of campers and RV's. Its kept up very well and stays clean. If I remember correctly they have a shower room and a laundromat. Just a short distance from Troy, Alabama. All the staff are great people and as long as you follow their park rules the staff is delightful.

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
