Isaac Creek in Franklin offers several pet-friendly camping options with clean facilities and riverfront sites. Pets must be leashed at all times throughout the campground. The Corps of Engineers campground features full hookup sites with electricity and water, accommodating both tent campers and RVs. Each site includes a picnic table and access to clean bathhouses. Campers note the campground is tucked away behind trees, providing privacy between sites, with some campsites offering their own pier access to the Alabama River. Magnolia Branch Wildlife Reserve also welcomes pets, featuring spacious sites with full hookups and primitive camping options in a natural setting.
Dog owners should be prepared for limited cell service at most campgrounds in the area. Isaac Creek is approximately 40 minutes from the nearest grocery store, so campers should arrive with all necessary pet supplies. The area provides good opportunities for dogs to enjoy shoreline walks and water access, though swimming areas may have specific pet restrictions. Magnolia Branch Wildlife Reserve offers multiple fishing lakes and creek access that pets can enjoy while leashed. Sites are well-maintained but lack privacy screening between them. Campers report the reserve's sprawling playground aligns with many campsites, making it better suited for families with pets rather than those seeking a quiet retreat. Gates at Magnolia Branch close at 4:00 PM during winter months.

Love's RV Hookup-Evergreen AL 225
Great place to stop over for the night. Includes dog park
We came across this Love’s Truck stop today with RV parking and hookup. I didn’t see a dump station, but there is water and electric with parking for RVs. Also, they sport this cute little fenced in dog park for those who need a place to let their dogs play and potty without a leash. Thanks Love’s for the place to stop over.

Good Overnight Stop
Good place to stop overnight. Got a pull through site # 18 and didn’t have to disconnect. Sites have full hookups. Con is that the next morning I had small black ants streaming along my front & rear door frames. Be sure you spray or do something to keep them off your equipment.

Clean and quiet
Stayed in the back of the property being it was all that was left, but it worked out. The spots at A1-7 are very tight together but it is away from everything else making it quiet and somewhat secluded. It would be a great area for a group event. Would stay here again but in a different location in the campground.

Work stay
I stayed at this campground because of a project that I was working. It is a nice little campground. It has two swimming pools, tennis courts, clean restrooms and a friendly staff.

A Great Place to Relax
Good site, lots of room, site only 30 amps. Love this place. Come here often just to relax.

Lake Stone Campground
Quiet surprise
This was a second outing for our new camper. I like to mention the surrounding area as resources like grocery stores hardware stores and such can sometimes be important. With that said there were grocery stores and hardware stores nearby in case supplies are necessities are required. Park itself was a small loop with both inside sides and lakeside sites all of which were clean and accessible. The camp hosts were supportive and very nice while the showers and bathroom were clean and serviceable. About the only noisy part about the park were the geese where they were in the middle of breeding season still a very enjoyable place. The lake side park offers a small fishing pier and shoreline fishing and kayaking. Some of the sites had picnic tables that needed minor servicing but still usable. Water and electricity on site and both paved and unpaved sites available. I think we will definitely go back!

LOVE THIS PLACE!
Sure it’s out in the middle of no where but that’s exactly what we were looking for. We stayed at site 35 on the river & it fit our 70 ft long big rig. The camp host are extremely nice and hospitable! The laundry is currently free! The bugs weren’t to bad. Hot tip- walk over past the dam to the “softball field” and it makes the perfect dog park. We were able to get perfect internet with our Starlink
