"This site backs up to a draw and each evening just before dust we could watch the deer walk up through.
The bathhouse is centrally located, newer, and cleaned daily."
"On top of Monte Sano in the woods and a world away from the town -- although it's close by. So many trails to run or walk and a playground for the kiddos. This has primitive camping as well as W/E/S."
"We exited off on 14A to gate 9 where we went through the gate and then did a u-turn to take us back down past the golf course to the CG. We had no problem doing the u-turn with our 40' fifth wheel."
"You must have access to military base to use. They have Laundry. Showers and bath. Full hook up. No trees for shade. Very hot. Needs mowed and more cleaning."
$25 - $250 / night
"We ended up fishing til daylight because the river was physically only 10 steps from our tents. The campsite had just enough light to be able to see go get to the restroom and showers."
"The park is about 200 acres and the RV sites are located through gate one. There are three rows of sites and the best ones in my opinion are the ones located against the treeline/creek. "
$14 / night
"If you are looking for a Cave experience in Norh Alabama that little kids can handle, this is it."
"state employees live fulltime within walking distance of the campsites."
"This is a nice state park in a small town in north Alabama. The lake is really pretty and the campground has a nice view of it."
"Bath house clean and functioned normal. Sites really don't have water views on even on the water that we saw. They have boat ramps and docks/slips. Tons of deer in the park. Drive slow dusk to dawn."
$17 - $50 / night

$19 - $22 / night

"Stayed at site 74 lakeside, plenty of room. Great site"
"Walking distance to water park. Sites are very nice, although a little close to each other."
"Very friendly staff, clean bath houses and next to a fun water park. Located in Decatur, AL, you are close to grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants and more!"
ScoutThis is a beautiful place about 15 minutes from my house. Unfortunately it’s only open to military and DoD.
ScoutNice concrete pads, park is ran very well by the city...clean and organized campground
TravelerOvernighted at campground. Decent sized sites with FHU. Clean restrooms and showers. Gravel sites. Campground right near off ramp allowing easy access. Traffic noise from interstate was not bad. Great place to stay while traveling through.
TravelerNothing fancy but great for an overnight stay. We stopped late afternoon on a Sunday. There were no other RV’s so we just picked a spot. Sites have power and water and back up against a tree line facing the lake. Stop by City Hall in Stevenson to register. We paid $10.
ScoutI just followed the cords with Google maps and led me to a gated area with no trespassing signs... guess a lot can happen in 5 years... don't recommend this spot anymore.
LegendGeneral: Small (36-site) campground in two loops; only the upper has a bathhouse. It is about a ¼ mile walk from the lower to the bathhouse.
Site Quality: Sites are gravel and vary; some are back-in, some are pull-through and some are parallel. Site 32 was very generous in size although not completely level. There was one picnic table, one set of water/electric utilities, and two fire rings (not sure why there were two). This site could easily fit a large Class A or two smaller campers.
Bath/Shower House: Clean and heated. The toilets and showers have a curtain for privacy which IMO feels less private. When I was in the shower, someone opened the curtain not realizing (!) that someone was in there. Warm water at the sinks and showers was appreciated on a damp and chilly day. There is also a clean laundry facility - $3/wash and $2 to dry. The laundry room also has a microwave oven.
Activities: There are daily cave tours; we have been in many caves and this one is very nice. By the lower loop is a small climbing wall. There are also hiking trails and gemstone mining, although we did not take advantage of either of these. We were there for the Cave Run - a 10km or half marathon where the last 1.2 miles AND finish are INSIDE the cave, which was very cool!
Mason, the camp host, was great. Upon our arrival, he escorted us to our site in his golf cart (entirely not necessary but welcomed) and went over what we needed to know including the WiFi password (otherwise we had no service on Verizon). Be sure to go to the office (up a very steep hill or you can drive) and ask for your 15% senior discount if applicable (you need to show proof you are old!).
GuideWe stayed one night of three planned and checked out early . Not mowed, sites were wet and buggy. Would be a decent place if yu wanted to be by your boat.
TravelerEasy access to Interstate. Very friendly and helpful staff. A winter storm was headed our way and the made sure we were aware and prepared.
LegendOur GPS brought us right into the campground (CG) that is conveniently located off I-65 and US-31. Check in was pleasant and quick. They take cash or check.We were assigned pull through site D-1(water and electric 50/30/20 AMP) behind the office. The advantage of this site, is that it has a yard area as the other sites do not. This is a bare bones CG with no amenities. Most of the sites have FHUs. The pad was plenty long enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and F450 plus fairly level. However, if you unhook and leave, you have a long, slightly curved road to back up on to get back in position to hook your rig up unless the site next to you is empty. The utilities are in the middle of the pad and you can maneuver to suit your needs. Water pressure was good at 50 psi and we got 4 bars on Verizon. There’s no Wifi here but due to this CG being a parking lot, no issues with satellite. Like other reviewers stated, there’s a deep ditch on either side of the driveway when you pull in, so keep an eye on how your rig tracks. This CG filled up the Saturday to Sunday we overnighted and we were assigned one of the few water and electric only sites, but were still charged$45 same as the FHU sites? Overall, this CG worked for our needs.
