Best Campgrounds near Gaylesville, AL

My family stayed here for a few months while my husband worked in the area. The new ownership is spot-on what you would hope for! Super responsive, great communication, and immediately fixes any issues. If you call and they dont answer, they are probably helping a customer. Call back in an hour or two. 

Grassy area for kids to play, creek and rock bank area to play as well. Quiet, no crazy parties or loud music. Very honest owners. Highly recommend! 

Laundry on-site, or nearby laundromat 

Library within minutes or 2 more within a 20 minute drive 

Recently upgrading their wifi 

Plenty of homeschool co ops in the area 

2 parks within 5 minutes of a drive 

Oxford lake and Choccolocco park within 20 minute drive 

2 grocery stores, dollar general and dollar tree within 10 minutes of a drive, Walmart etc in Oxford.

Winding Waters is a new, huge, and beautiful RV resort. This is not a campground, but a resort-style RV park with no shortage of amenities and activities. Nightly rate is very reasonable for all the bells and whistles you get. If you are just looking for a cheap, relaxing overnight with no frills, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a fun family vacation spot to bring the kids, look no further.

Just outside Atlanta, the location is prime and beautiful, along the Etowah river. You can fish, kayak, or just relax. There is no shortage of activities for children. The resort's pool is a huge beach-style pool with a hot tub and even a huge waterslide. There is a large playground and huge dog run. They have a large clubhouse and ball courts.

We booked one of their cheaper sites, a classic pull-thru site. To say the least, it was the TIGHTEST pull thru site we have ever booked. We have never had to adjust and shimmy around in a pull thru site before, the whole point is to pull in once and bam you're set up. We could barely even squeeze our tow vehicle (10ft bed dually) into the designated parking spot without sticking out. Even the back in sites would have been a little more roomy. But hey, for all the amenities (that we didn't even use since we were just stopping over for a night) the price isn't awful. For a bit more, you can get your own private dog run or patio furniture.

We were pretty overwhelmed with the sheer amount of RVs in this place. Mostly all big rigs too. It was packed and they have so many sites. So many kids running around, and our neighbor's dog was off leash and ran over to my dog when I tried to take him potty. There are no walking paths in the resort, so people (and kids) are forced to run around on the streets, which are pretty narrow, winding, and uncomfortable to drive a big rig on. Just in general A LOT going on, very busy place. Great place if you like resort style parks, but not fun for an overnight. Since it's new there's no shade at all, so I can't imagine how hot it is in the summer and with all the big rigs blasting their a/c, they may run into electrical issues. But they planted some trees which should alleviate that a bit.

The rules list is pretty strict and extensive, with a bunch of extra fees for weird things like early check-in and personal golf carts. Make sure you read through everything thoroughly before you book. Some rules might be deal breakers for some people. Staff was very kind to us and we wish them the best with their new RV resort!

Our family had a great time camping… we are locals and this was a trial run with our new camper. The camping community here is great! The facilities are definitely dated but we didn’t have to use them so I can’t say what they were inside. The playground was fun for my kiddos although it really wasn’t age appropriate for our 3 year old twins very well. I’m not sure if it was just because it was 4/20 weekend but the only drawback was the pretty regular smell of the devils lettuce… I used to partake myself so I’m not downing any ones way of relaxing. We probably will not be back as I enjoy a little bit more family friendly environments these days.
