    Overview

    Isaac Creek Campground is located on Claiborne Lake in Alabama's southwest Hill Country. The lake encompasses more than 60 miles of the Alabama River, and Isaac Creek has great appeal to sportsmen, birders, naturalists or those simply wanting to relax in the outdoors.

    Recreation

    The area's waterways offer anglers the opportunity to fish for largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill and catfish. Boating and water sports are also a main draw to the lake, and a boat ramp is provided for easy water access. The vast expanse of surrounding land allows for bow and shotgun hunting for game like whitetail deer, wild turkey and hog.

    Natural Features

    The campground is situated between Isaac Creek and Claiborne Lake, in a forest of hardwood and pine.

    Claiborne Lake Damsite West Bank

    Quite and Relaxing

    The camp ground has two areas along the access Road. Both areas are first come first served. These are sites without power or water hookups, or self contained rustic camping. Sites would allow car, van or larger campers/RV’s. No running water, but toilet facilities. Near dam and lock on ALABAMA river.

    QUIET & RELAXING

    A wonderful January camping trip ! It was about 45° but we stayed cozy by the fire pit . Our site was super close to the water , less than 100 yards! We had a picnic table too, perfect for meals outdoors. Can't wait to come back when it's warmer!

    Claiborne Lake Damsite West Bank

    Not well cared for but convenient to get to

    There was a lot of trash while I was here, there are bins but people didn’t use them? Or they did and nobody has come to get the trash bags? At least a truck beds worth of trash right now. However I am incredibly grateful for this spot, It’s raining and it is a paved easy road to get down in this land of low lying dirt roads, that was clutch. There’s a really nasty vault toilet down the hill, surprisingly there was toilet paper and what looks to be some trails but since it’s raining I probably will not partake.

    Cool dam to watch if you drive down the hill too where the bathrooms are. It’s a shame that those who have used it have abused it, I’m going to clean it up the best I can, it could be a really pretty place.

    There was nobody here in December on a rainy day. There are 2 loops - 1 for tents and smaller rigs and 1 that anything could fit. I wonder if this place gets busy, it is well used.

    Nice RV park, Remote

    Great place. Has laundry, showers. Pool and table tennis in same room as laundry. Snack machine. Cabins. Unfortunately we arrived late and left early so we didn't get to use all the facilities. Wifi was pretty good.

    Very nice and quiet .

    This was a nice spot and was free. You do have to have a reservation. It's a little unlevel and best to back in. Be sure to get a site map, or it will be hard to find.

    Piece of nature heaven!

    Level gavel site! Lots of trees So cool to see lighting bugs at night! Lot of sites on the water not ours though. Trails and nature for walking dogs. Nice playground. Laundry and bathroom needs updated, but clean.Fire~ring, picnic table, and water & electric at each sight. Not a good signal with T-Mobile. Thought we were lost because the dirt road to get to the campground was very narrow and rough. Once arrived near the campground it was fine!

    Great RV Lakeside Park

    Third time at Millers Ferry! Water & electric hook ups . Good water pressure, dump station on property. Our site was paved and easily accommodated our 40 ft Rv/ fifth wheel & Dooley. Each site has a fire ring/with top grate to grill, picnic table, shepherd hook.Bathroom clean another one under construction. Nice playground. $1 for washer and dryer. Lots of sites are gravel as well, but level. Lots of people fish-parking for trucks & trailers at water ramp on property. No dog park, but lots of nature walks and paved roads to walk on. Oh yes, Lots of mosquitoes & ants, bring bug spray for a more pleasant stay! Shopping in town about 15-20 minutes away. Several good restaurants. There is a Piggly Wiggly, True Value Hardware, and Dollar stores. Approx 20-30 min to Walmart, next town over. Public lake for swimming, on site, with playground!

    Worst customer service

    Our family drove over an hour to fish here. Upon arriving at the gate, we weren’t even greeted. A older lady stood up and just stared at us with a mean look. After about a 30 second stare, she finally said“hi”. I said“hi”. Another 15 second stare and she said”can I help you?” Very rudely. I said“yes we’re here to fish”. She said“we’re closed”. I asked what time they close daily and mentioned that google says open 24hrs and their website doesn’t list hours and she said“4”. I said we drove an hour here and you don’t close for another 45 min can we just drive through and look around, it’s our first time here. She said well I’m not charging you. I said this place was recommended to me on Facebook-can we at least look around? She said“no we’re closed”. I said ok what’s the price? She said we’re closed. I said I understand what you’re saying but what is the price? She sat down and refused to answer me. We left. We probably won’t be back. I decided to check around to see their reviews and it seems this lady is rude to everyone. Why has she not been replaced? I believe her name is Tracy. I tried to find out who her boss was by calling and emailing. However, no one answers the phone and she told me via email she’s the supervisor. SHE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED! So many people complain about her!!

    Beautiful but noisy!

    The campground itself is beautiful. The noise level is terrible. So if you are retired or want a nice, quiet place, this isn't it. The sprawling playground that aligns the campsites assures of loud, screaming children at all hours. Further, either there is no noise ordinance, or it is not enforced as loud music is ongoing into the night. Unfortunately, have to strike this beautiful spot off the list.

    Nice quiet campground in a beautiful area

    Large sites with plenty of space between. They rent tubes to float the creek or canoes to paddle the ponds in the park. Ponds have fish to catch, don’t even need an Alabama fishing license to fish. Super quiet.

    Under the Hoof

    10-stars⭐️ Tranquil rural cabin on a working farm/ goats, chickens🌅

    10-Stars⭐️ We came down from North Georgia, to put a contract on a home in Brewton, AL nearby and found this lovely cabin on working Goat, Chicken, Tortoise, etc& Tree farm on AirBNB.:-) Merle& Russ treated us like family, and have stayed friends ever since❣️ They stocked the cabin with all kinds of extra touches& even left us some wine to enjoy after our long trip. Peaceful and tranquil out there. Great hosts and special friends❣️ P.S. We joyfully bought our home there, and even came back to stay at the cabin when we closed on the home and during the moving in process. We moved my precious Momma, Connie, in with us and Mom was able to stay at the cabin that week till we got unpacked& her bedroom/bath suite all ready for her. She fell in love with the tranquility there, too. Merle& Russ checked on her like she was their own Mother, Lordy- we could not have asked for any more special care!! Thank you both!! Love, Donna, Artie and Connie🌅

    Primitive site with fire ring, grill, trash can, , large portapotty and nice water view.

    I’ve camped at Mystic Springs numerous times. I book the group site. Very large & spacious. Perfect for a large group or multiple people. Plenty of room for several tents. It has a fire ring, grill, covered structure with 2 picnic tables, a garbage can and a large portapotty. It’s generally very quiet. It’s a gated site so to me it feels more secure. People do walk through the site occasionally but not too often. It’s primitive camping so no power & no potable water. Most sites have water view.

    Wonderful campground

    True to the word campground. This place has trees and wildlife and a beautiful lake while also having a laundry facility, bathhouse an wifi. Not like your average luxury rv resorts ( parking lot with a pool). On-site host greets you and gets you checked in as you enter the park. Maintenence crew does a fantastic job keeping the grounds looking great year round. There is also a nearby beach swimming area and boat ramps.

    Frosty January camping

    Isaac Creek campground is very well laid out. All of the campground's staff are friendly, helpful, and just pleasant to work with. I stayed on site 45 which had an electrical problem, on going for several months, and although no one could come fix it the weekend I was here, they offered to immediately move me to an open site. The bathhouse was very clean, Can't ground and common grounds were also well kept. The marine museum is closed, looks like permanently. Overall this was a very clean pleasant campground to visit and would recommend it.
