    Heart of Dixie Trail Ride

    Trails Horse/Atv

    This place has a lot of amenities pool, fishing, horse and atv trails that are great for beginner horseriders. Bathhouses are pretty nice cabins are great and affordable. Stalls or paddocks for your horses fresh water. Also has an arena to ride in. The camp sites don’t have a lot of shade but you can cool off in the pool. This is not a campsite in the deep woods it’s out in the open so don’t expect a woodsy feel although the trails make up for it they are well kept.

    A must stop on the way to the beach

    This is a gem in south Alabama with the most perfect cold water to cool that Alabama heat. The cabins are more like FEMA trailers but they have some sort of AC. Consider yourself glamping Alabama style and you will be fine

    Blue Springs State Park Campground

    Family Fun Destination

    The main attraction in this state park is the spring fed pool. There is a lot of nice grassy areas plus a playground but everyone was in the water. I tried it but found it too cold even though August in Alabama is very hot. Campground seemed a little cramped but acceptable. Bugs became a real issue as the sun began to set. Come armed with repellant.

    Blue Springs State Park Campground

    This is a great out of the way park.

    It is clearly an older park with not much recent love. It is clean but not perfect.

    The sites have older hookups but they are functional. The campsites are not level and some of them you have to guess where to put the trailer. We stayed on April 8& 9 (Thursday and Friday) and found it mostly empty! At night, the only sounds were the nature sounds of a very active forest.

    The springs are very pretty and great for a natural spring. We did not swim but were very impressed with the cleanliness of the water. 

    I would recommend staying here if you were close by. I would not drive that far out of my way for it. Great for a night or two.

    Blue Springs State Park Campground

    The spring here is nice. But it is over crowded and trashed.

    The spring is beautiful and flows into a little creek... this place has the potential to be a good spot but the staff and the people who visit really need to step up and clean this place. It looks like the staff has abandoned the place. Their was food left all over the ground from the people visiting. Trash was overflowing from the cans. The bathrooms were filthy and infested with flies. The trash cans being full and the bathrooms are really the worst part. This place would be good to visit on a week day early in the morning. I don’t recommend staying on the camp ground. I wish I would have taken pictures.

    Geneva State Lake

    Beautiful and secluded

    Note - I drive a 20’ van - so non level is ok for me but these sites were not level - but I spent 2 nights sat/sun - and it was gorgeous especially for sunrise. Wish I could have stayed longer but I didn’t want to get stuck there in the rain - it was about 5 miles of dirt roads to get in there and they were well maintained but I didn’t want to risk it.

    There are 2 hiking trails - more like atv trails that go to either side of the lake from the campground. You can go further into the forest but it was deer hunting season so I didn’t explore.

    It was so peaceful and the sunrises over the lake were breathtaking.

    $5 a day and there is a QR code on the board to pay, or you can by an annual pass for $40 if you plan on staying at least 9 days it’s worth it. It doesn’t hold your place on the form unless you create an account which is why the dyrt link doesn’t work.

    Overall if I’m passing through again I would go back.

    Also appreciated the free trash cleanup, clean porta potties and picnic tables. No fire rings really but you can tell where people burn campfires.

    It’s a well maintained park and you can tell a lot of love has gone into it. Even had a ranger come through!

    Wilderness Landing

    Great for free

    Beautiful views, clean restrooms, and free. Other campers were very friendly. The only reason for a 3 is the rough drive getting there.
