4. Heard WMA Campground No. 3
Be the first to review!•5 SavesRoughing it at its finest. Down dirt roads and through thousands of acres of a wildlife management hunting preserve, these primitive campsites are available for tents and RVs on a first-come, first-served basis. An ideal location for hiking the backwoods. A quintessential night under the stars and a cozy campfire makes this a nature lover’s paradise.

5. Star Point Reserve
Be the first to review!•3 Photos•6 Saves21 acres of raw untouched primitive camping land next to beautiful Lake Martin, Alabama. Campsites are far apart from each other so you can enjoy your privacy.
The property is completely untouched for a true nature experience. If you're looking for a place with modern life amenities this campground is definitely not for you. Each campsite is 1 acre apart so you have a lot of privacy. Bring your binoculars or telescopes to enjoy a beautiful stargazing experience.
Campers are required to park and walk to their campsites so there's no cars inside the reserve. Everything you bring in, you are required to take with you.
A 55 gallon tank of fresh water is provided to each site for your convenience. There is no electricity so bring your flashlights and solar power banks if you need to power your devices.
We are only 3 minutes to the Pace's Point Boat Ramp in case you bring your canoe, kayak or just want to go for a swim.
There's a porta potty on site for your convenience.
This is a very private campground with limited availability. Contact us to book your experience in advance so we can make sure we're available.
Thank you for visiting us.
Be blessed.

6. Pine and Oak Campsite
Be the first to review!•5 PhotosEscape to a private campsite in rural Alabama. The property is surrounded by forest and wildlife. There are several places to hang a hammock and plenty of room for outdoor games like cornhole. Enjoy making smores by the campfire and gazing at the stars.
The city of Columbus is about 25 minutes away and offers white water rafting, zip lining, axe throwing, a river-walk, and other activities. There are plenty of lakes and rivers to go fishing. Auburn is about 40 mins away.
The site offers an outhouse, fire pit, fire pit grill rack for cooking, platform (which can be used for small/medium tents) and a hiking trail that is about 1/3 of a mile.
Please note, the site has a road but during heavy rain the road can accumulate mud. Suggest 4-wheel drive vehicles for rainy conditions. Otherwise, cars are able to access campsite and park at site. Hipcampers can also park at the front of the property and walk about .25 miles to site if unable to drive. Please message me beforehand if you are worried about driving conditions.
The property is surrounded by hunting land so please be mindful of property lines and do you best to stay on the trail. Also, expect gunshots in the distance every once in a while.
Property also has natural wildlife like coyotes, snakes, spiders, ants, etc.. Alabama can also get very hot during June, July, August. Please prepare accordingly.
My wife and I bought this property in 2021 with the goal of turning this land into a homestead. She is currently in the army. My mom and stepfather live at the front of the property and will be able to help accommodate you if needed. Meeting at the front of the property is not needed.

Busy Campground
Good lake access/sunset views/boat ramp. Tends to be quite a busy campground, so getting a prime spot in peak season can be difficult. Management noted to be on the stricter side.

Chattahoochee Bend State Park
Maiden Voyage
We just bought our first RV and it was a 22 foot Class C. We decided to stay close to home to try it out, learn everything on it in a forgiving place. Chattahoochee Bend was perfect. Drive through spot for our RV with 50AMP, 30AMP, water and dump service. The place is clean, quiet and in great shape! Electric bikes made it all the more fun, since the single road in, out and all about is quite hilly. Plenty of hiking trails!

Pretty state campground
We had some flubs with this campground. We put the wrong address in our GPS resulting in us arriving too late to use the pool. Then we neglected to pick up our paperwork and had to drive back to the main building to get it and we drove past the campground host on duty so we didn’t get firewood. Our campsite was pretty: flat, spacious, shaded with trees, but it was frustrating to drive past the even prettier spots right on the lake and realize that’s what I should have booked!! Several people were out enjoying evening fishing as we drove past to our more woodsy loop.
We were here all of 12 hours - it was a nice stopover on our route further south. Really quiet and absolutely spotless bathhouse! I really was bummed about not getting to the pool (it was not open the next day) - we will come back!

Nice site, well maintained
I am getting back into camping for the first time in a very long time. Went to FDR State Park because it’s only about 30 minutes from home. Booking site 111 was easily done online. I arrived after the office had closed but my reservation sheet with instructions was left in a box on the door for me to pick up. Great park with nice lake for fishing, kayaking, paddle boating as well many hiking trails. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Visited Dowdell’s Knob which gives a fantastic view…no wonder it was FDR’s favorite picnicking site when visiting Warm Springs. I would definitely recommend and will be back, but next time will be spring or fall because summer was just too hot.

Bush Head Shoals Park
a hidden gem
We found this campsite while looking for an overnighter while traveling. We are on a motorcycle so we checked with Raven to make sure we would be good. The roads are gravel but well maintained. We had no problems getting in. The spots are well maintained, no power or water, so be prepared. For the price, you won't find a better campground.

Spent two days at this park on a premium lot while visiting the University of Auburn. Park was clean and quiet. Hook-ups worked as expected. There’s a discount store right across the street - they have everything, which was a plus! Will stay again.

No longer a campsite
I called ahead and found they use to be harvest hosts and that is when they had campers. They no longer host but did allow me to sleep there for the night. Every friendly people and quiet location next to a muscadine vineyard. Nice enough to allow me to use their plumbed restroom as well (I'm in a tiny camper).

One of our favorites!
We loved this campground! Definitely one of our favorites. The campsites are spacious and private. The amenities are all close by and were super clean the entire time we were there. The playground is more geared toward older children, but it was very well taken care of.
Our campground hosts at the time (Dennis and Colleen) were so welcoming and friendly. They were always quick to offer a wave and friendly smile every time we saw them. Lisa, the maintenance host, was also fantastic! We enjoyed getting to know all 3 of them.
The hiking trails are all very clearly marked, and we enjoyed exploring during our time there.
The closest town is about a 45 min drive, but we didn’t mind at all. Just make sure to stock up before heading to the park.
We can’t wait to visit this park again. So far it is one of our favorites!

Can’t wait to come back!
The owners Raven and Phillip are fantastic hosts! They were very easy to communicate with. They met us at the campground to make sure we knew where everything was and to see if we needed anything. We scheduled a kayak trip for Saturday, but needed to change the time. They were very accommodating. The campground was clean, the sites were extremely spacious. You could easily fit two 6 person tents. They have Ice and firewood available. You just grab it and either venmo Raven or drop money in the drop box. There is a nice hiking trail right across from site 1. There were plenty of trees around the sites to hang hammocks. They have 2 vault toilets, which are lit at night which is nice. We will definitely be back!

First impressions
Just arrived mid Sunday afternoon. Booked a site 4 months ago to find we have been allocated a different site. Reception closed and the promised man to greet us wasn’t expecting us, therefore we have no info about the park. There is no cable tv as your site says and we have yet to be able to join the wifi! No park plan. Not impressed - at the cost of our site per night, we expected a lot better.
We spend three months a year on the road and are experienced travellers.
Hoping things improve!

Great Overnight Stay
In order to get in the campground, you have to have a code texted to you, no other way in! We had a pull through spot (I). The spot was slightly unlevel on the right side.Although there was loud interstate noise, it was still peaceful with the babbling creek in front of our site. There was a shower room, restrooms, laundry facilities available and all were clean. A huge beautiful pool and a children's pool, all were kept up nicely.

Nature at its best
Easy booking, check in, and hook up to electric and water. Beautiful, serene surroundings. We didn’t get to do all the fun stuff available like the pool and the hiking trail since it was just an overnight stop but we will be back.
Caitlin S.GuideR. Shaefer Heard Campground
Spacious lakefront sites
Great, quiet park with lots of walking and biking trails nearby. All the sites are wooded and spaced out so you don’t have any issues with privacy. From what we could tell, all of the sites have direct lake access. We visited in July and because of the tree coverage, we were able to sit outside most of the day without getting too hot. This is definitely one of our new favorite parks!

Our first tent camping experience
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They have an amazing staff that made us feel welcomed and safe. Their pool and splash pad is nicer than most hotels. The site bathrooms/showers and laundry area are kept in very well condition. We saw all types of wild life, deer, boar, and a variety of birds. 10/10. Can’t wait to go back.
