      Excellent

      Amazing cg! Site Catoma 33. Back in site water behind. But cliff is too intense to go down. Gorgeous site, huge, shady, and across from restrooms. Boat ramp. Rode bikes around, but not many places to go besides cg. Friendly hosts and great place!

      Very nice campground

      Wow, this is such a pretty campground! Our site is absolutely huge! I absolutely love all of the trees!! Unfortunately, it’s still 97° out. 🤣 We are in the shade for most of the day. With a fan, it wasn’t too bad sitting outside in the shade. I am so excited to see the lightning bugs. We don’t have them in my part of FL.

      We have one bathhouse near our site (across from site 34), which appears to be older. I do love that the water is regulated and will only be on for a short amount of time. The lights have a motion sensor, which is a great idea. Unfortunately as I was getting dressed, the light turned off and wouldn’t turn back on. I had to open the door and flail around to get it to turn back on. Sorry for anyone who may have witnessed that. lol I was covered up, I promise. The water did not drain where the changing area is. The water just puddled there. We ran across the bathhouse by site 71 and that one is way better. It has AC too, which was nice in this heat. Yes, we use the showers at campgrounds. This also has washers and dryers, but both washers are broken. 😞 Our RV shower is really small and I like to actually move my arms around while showering. Please don’t criticize us for our decision.

      Our unfortunate event: while sitting outside, something smell really rancid. Unfortunately, people before us lost their dog. We walked down to look at the water and that’s when we discovered the body. 🥺 I called the front office and they were able to confirm that it was the lost dog. We were unable to sit outside most of the time because of the decay smell drifting up to our site. We hoped the ranger would have come here to pick up the body for the people, but they never showed up. Not the camp hosts responsibility at all and I’m not blaming them. I hope the owners were able to get some closure, but I can’t imagine how they feel.

      Lovely federal park

      If you have a boat and are a fisherman you will love this park. We had a spot right on the water. Views were beautiful. Brought our kayaks but didn’t use them as it was a bit chilly and windy. Would definitely. Return. Only downside - lots of poison ivy!! And the bathrooms were rundown and dingy.

      Great little campground off I-65

      Ultra clean Good Sam campground located just off I-65. Staff was wonderful and engaging. Expect a former Marine to escort you to your site, rain or shine. It was pouring buckets when we arrived and he insisted on taking us literally across the street from the camp store to ensure we had everything we needed.

      All lots appeared to be pull thru and level. Due to rain, we kept our Airstream connected to the truck and just connected water and electricity. Leveling was minimal (fore/aft) with no need for blocks or boards.

      Recommend staying in sites closer to camp store, as they are farthest from interstate. We barely heard it from site 2.

      Laundry room was clean and available to wash/dry lots of towels due to rain and wet dog. Water pressure in campground is 80 psi.

      Large fenced dog park at north end and plenty of green space for walking your puppy. Just be aware there are rabbits all over the place.

      Propane is available on site and the camp store has a little bit of everything. And there’s a Love’s truck stop at the exit as well.

      Great spot for an overnight stay on your trip. You won’t find a nicer staff or a cleaner campground!a

       this is a great campsite. You might need four-wheel-drive to get up to the ruins, but maybe not. Mary the caretaker of the area could easily tell you and is a great communicator and very helpful. I highly recommend this area.

      Very spacious sites in Catoma loop. Stayed in site 65 with great access to bathroom/shower house and volleyball net. Beautiful park with some fantastic lakefront sites. Clean, well kept, very affordable rates, and very friendly staff. Some online information suggests the gates close at night. The guard confirmed you are never locked in and can leave at any hour.

      Restful stop off I-65

      This is a nice campground just off I-65 in Alabama. Convenient for trips to the Gulf Coast, New Orleans, or farther west. Previous review said only 18 sites, but there are 28 now. Clean showers and laundry. Sites are paved with grass between. Not much shade. We were there in late February so it was ok. Would be hot in summer. Free shuttle to the casino. Just $37 per night but with $5 gaming credits you could come out ahead if you feel lucky. Probably the smallest for area I’ve ever seen at a campground! Nice and restful, sat out in the evening listening to the mockingbirds.’

      The place is big

      But also poorly signed and the front desk is pretty unhelpful. She asked if I had been here before and I said no and yet she never explained there was a code to get in. Frustrating at best. It is a huge campground, can't imagine the number of people in the summer. Seems I drove past some wilderness areas and hikes on the way in. We won't get to explore them on this visit.

      STAY AWAY

      We live full time in an RV, stay at hundreds of campgrounds and this is the WORST experience we’ve ever had!!! The owners son in law goes around harassing people for the littlest thing and driving around taking pictures of you and your RV!!! This guy is EXTREMELY rude and disrespectful. My husband left a review of the issues we had up until this post and the next day he got into my husbands face about half of our rug being on the grass when he has seen it multiple times(the other times he came banging on our door). When my husband said he can be nicer about it, he told him he will escort us off the property. There are multiple reviews saying the same thing below about this guy with the owners saying“he does not reflect our values” but they are LYING and in on it!! If you guys care so much about the damn grass then don’t own an RV park! Mark my words, this will be the worst stay you ever have and will ruin whatever relaxing trip you were trying to go on.

      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).

      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.

      Hidden Gem right on the water

      We stayed in spot 36. We we're very close to the water with a little cutout to walk down to the water. Bathrooms were clean but had no AC, they we're fairly close to the site. Pull through site was easy to park but required side to side leveling. Verizon cell service was okay, bounced between 1-2 bars with 10-20 mbps. Quite a drive from Montgomery but well worth it for the morning views out over the water. Just a warning that the ants were crazy! We're still cleaning them out of our camper.

      We stayed in spot 30 on the Catoma loop. We we're very close to the water but obscured by the trees and underbrush. The sewage hookup was very nice to have on a 1 night trip. Bathrooms were clean but had no AC, a little bit of a walk from our spot. Pull through site was easy to park and didn't require any leveling side to side. Verizon cell service was okay, bounced between 1-2 bars with 10-20 mbps. Close enough to Montgomery but still felt very isolated and quiet.

      A nice place to be for a while!

      Traveling through the area fairly often, I stayed here every other week over a 3 month period. The host was very friendly and oriented me to things I might need in the area. (Groceries, Hardware store, Food, etc.) Every check in gets escorted to their campsite, guided in, and he personally checks the water hook up and the power pole to make sure it works. Ground crews are constantly out making sure the areas stay neat and clean. The sites are gravel and are mostly level, I believe the most I had to adjust was 1.5". Every site has a concrete patio with a table. The laundry and showers are cleaned every day and work as expected. Washer is $2 and dryer is $2. Lots of long term renters present in the campground, but I never had a bad interaction with any of them. Large fenced in area for dogs, but being dogless in my travels....I never used it. There is an open field that connects to an oyster bar on the West side of the park with descent food. To the South of the park is a small pond with a walking track.

      All in all this is a GREAT place to stay. the only reason I gave 4 stars is that there's not a lot of shade. Every site has a small tree next to it, but it's not much.

      Serene, gorgeous, well stocked — perfect

      I was blown away by every aspect of this beautiful place. It was impeccable, secluded but still accessible by my 2WD car, plus a walk down a hill to the site. I came well prepared with water, camp stove, etc — but didn’t need any of it! Anything I could think of to feel comfortable, the hosts are one step ahead. The charm of the tent is taken up a notch by the led lights powered by a car battery— genius! I didn’t even need my flashlight. Bed was clean and beyond comfy. The compost toilet was clean and came with clear instructions. Everything was easy to find and the hosts were quick to respond. The place got me super inspired for what’s possible to live comfortably, but simply, and reconnect with the land. My only regret was that I couldn’t stay longer, I will definitely be back soon.

      Good Overnighter or Short Stay Option

      This review is based on a short-term stay versus a destination campground(CG). We traveled into the CG on the US highways following our RV GPS from FL with no issues getting to this CG. Check-in was very easy, and we were guided to our online reservation first choice, end site 19. Our check-in person was concerned we might not like pulling through site 19. He was correct, as this site was too short and had an incline at the unhitch point. We proceeded to the newer area, where we were given the choice of pull-through sites 97& 98, which were both FHUs and flat. We chose 98, which was fairly level and plenty long enough for our 5th wheel and F450. The sites in this CG are close to each other. There were no trees so that we could have put out our satellite, but there was no need due to the great cable selection. We got 3 bars on Verizon and used our MifI for what little internet we needed. We tried but could not connect to the CG's WiFi. They have very good water pressure, so we used a reducer. Where we were in the back of the CG, we could still hear the highway. There was no formal dog park, but plenty of areas to walk your dog. This is an older park with many permanent and seasonal residents. We were impressed that, for the most part, there was not that“trailer trash” look, and the residents were friendly. There are newer water and electric sites in the 100s area in front of where we were. There’s a shower house and laundry, but we did not use these facilities. This CG is a good short-stay option.

We were in Spot #15 which sits directly in front of one of the several bodies of water on-site. Kickback sports a pool, laundry facility, game room, general store, large tv room, hiking/bike trails, large water slide (separate from pool), and a very strong wifi signal. The entire staff was extremely courteous and very helpful. Already looking forward to our next stay there!

      The Backyard RV Resort

      Nice and clean, pricey vs. amenities

      This place is now called"The Backyard RV Resort". Gravel roads and pull-thru sites. Stayed overnight while passing through. Convenient to I-65. Can hear Highway and trains outside but didnt bone inside my RV. A little pricey($69) versus the amenities offered. Staff was very friendly on the phone when I called to reserve a spot. Excellent coverage from AT&T. Didnt connect to their WiFi. Would stay here again if visiting the area. Might look for cheaper alternative if just passing through. We camped at The Backyard RV Resort in a Travel Trailer.
