Small but nice
Site 22 full hookup. Small campground with nothing around in terms of town or business. Bathhouses were very well kept. Laundry was $1! Went to Providence Canyon SP. Very interesting hikes and sites. Watch those log trucks they move!
Rusty R.GuideAuburn RV Park at Leisure Time Campground
Great Faciliites
A little hard to find but the facilities are very clean and the spots are well laid out. The pool is part of a water park which is only open seasonally, so check the dates if you are wanting to take a dip

Very Rude Staff - Sites directly adjacent to active train tacks
If I could give these guys 1/2 a star, I'd go with that. Their applaingly rude behavior truly deserves no stars. Though they advertise as a place that offers month to month business, my husband and I were offering them a guaranteed month to month business for a good bit of time while working in the area, however long they would work with us on, bouncing to another place if we exceeded their desired amount of time, and both people we spoke with- a woman one day and a man named Justin another, were very rude and"uppity/snooty". We have a 2023 Primetime Sanibel Widebody 5th wheel, 43 feet in length, very nice condition, and are two professional people(my husband an Operations Manager for a billboard company and I a Bid/Dept Manager for a Food Distributor, with a combined income of over$175k per year) and their response was"we wouldn't be a good fit" after we spoke with them guaranteeing we would abide by their strict rules. When we mentioned we may once in a blue moon babysit our grandkids while there, before I even finished my sentence, we were given a very terse response which was a strong indicator they do not want kids there. Obviously not family friendly. They mentioned not wanting"trashy trailers" and"trailer trash" type people in their campground- of which we aren't, but wow, the judgement- and that they currently have some campers they are"trying to be rid of", so camp with ease or expect to be thrown out. They want only new campers there, and royalty. I guess if you take a stab at them you'll have to see if you meet their high standards or contrarily meet their definition of"trailer trash". Beware, if your camper, though well maintianed yet only a 2021 model, you're trailer trash. Again, very picky, very high standards, strict rules, unbending, uppity, and just rude with a"holier than though" attitude. Apparently not very interested in keeping their business running either. We drove through the park on 4/20/26 and over half their campsites were empty. I wonder why. Yet, they turn down guaranteed month to month business for a time we were willing to allow them to designate. We will gladly take our business elsewhere to a much friendlier staff at a nicer, more secure campground nearby we have recently learned of- where we won't have to listen to trains pass behind us all day, and can watch kids be kids and play. Sad thing is, we've given them our business before while in Columbus, but never will again, and will tell all we know of a large group of campers we are affiliated with of their rude, snooty ways. Traveling through the area? I'd recommend staying elsewhere. Corps of Engineer parks on nearby West Point Lake(Amity, Shaefer Hard, Holiday, and WhiteTail Ridge), a campground on nearby Lake Harding(Blanton Creek), two near Fort Benning(one GA side- Camp David, the other AL side), one in Fort Benning(Uchee Creek), a KOA in nearby Americus, Ga and Auburn RV Resort in nearby Auburn, AL to name just a few. That is, unless you like to hobknob with the snooty folk.

Quiet and well kept
Quiet, well maintained park with plenty of room between sites, it’s $5 a day paid via a drop box at the front. Also has a boat launch.

Decent Campground
We used Trip Wizard, Waze, and Google Maps for navigation. Approaching from US-231 to US-80, the directions from Florida prompted a U-turn to reach Sassafras Circle, and traffic was heavy since the campground (CG) sits near I-65 by the TA Travel Center and several fast-food restaurants. We later realized a left turn at Arby’s provides a much easier entrance into the CG. Check-in was quick and easy, and we received a helpful information packet before being escorted to pull-through site 402 with full hookups. The site was more than long enough for our 40' toy hauler and F450 and was fairly level. Utilities were nicely positioned near the middle of the pad. Sites in this CG were spaced nicely apart, though not especially spacious. Site 402 was considered a premium site, but there was no picnic table or fire ring, and only a couple of sites had those features—site 403 on the end cap included a nice fire pit and picnic table. Along with a fishing pond and a few minor amenities, the“resort” name felt a bit generous. We had 2 bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile. Water pressure was strong, and management recommended using a pressure reducer. The CG information noted fast internet with no need for cable; however, our speed test showed about 18 Mbps download. The open layout with no trees would make satellite easy to use. There is a small fenced dog area, and additional space around the property worked well for leashed walks. Overall, this was a good CG for an overnight stop or even a few days.

Hollins Hunting Camp
Great quiet spot and good road in
There are probably 7-8 sites here but sites are not numbered. Several can handle RVs. Because of the poor signage I would encourage arriving during day light. We arrived just after sunset and it was raining so we grabbed the first spot on the left at the top of a hill. Our unit is 30ft and had plenty of room to maneuver and find a level area. There were a few other hunters camping down the road but other than the occasional car we heard no one. Never heard any shooting either. There are spots where people built campfires but no rings.

What to do
Mountain biking at Chewacla State Park: The park features extensive trail systems with varying difficulty levels designed specifically for mountain bikes. A camper noted, "Many areas have killed mtb trails to ride, worth a sniff, the camp fees are a bit steep for a state park in my opinion beyond that great." Trails range from beginner-friendly paths to technical challenges for experienced riders.
Fishing at Wind Creek State Park: Located on Lake Martin's shores, this park provides excellent fishing opportunities with boat rentals available. According to a visitor, "This is a great family campground with a boat launch on lake Martin. Good swimming, adequate shade." The park offers both motorized and non-motorized boat rentals from two different locations.
Hiking to waterfalls: Several campgrounds feature waterfall hikes, with Chewacla State Park offering an accessible waterfall trail. As one camper described, "The hike was easy and not very long. The trail loops around the lake and brings you to a waterfall on the back side of the lake. The waterfall is easy accessible and you can get as close as you wish."
What campers like
Large, level sites: Many campgrounds in the area provide spacious camping spots, particularly at Bar-W RV Park. A camper mentioned, "Each site is quite large, I've never seen such large campsites before." These generous sites offer more privacy than typically found at crowded campgrounds.
Lake access and swimming: Wind Creek State Park's lakefront location makes it popular for water activities. A reviewer shared, "Tent camping with family during Hurricane evacuation. Beautiful park, numerous bath houses, laundry, camp store, playgrounds, mini golf, and so much more. Secluded campground with RV and tent sites right on Lake Martin."
Proximity to Auburn University: Several campgrounds provide convenient access to Auburn University events. At Spring Villa Campground, a visitor noted, "We're only 15 minutes from Tiger Town Mall and serious shopping and about 20 minutes from Auburn University." This makes these sites particularly popular during football weekends.
What you should know
Seasonal popularity: Campgrounds near Notasulga experience peak demand during Auburn University events. Availability becomes extremely limited during football weekends, with sites booking months in advance.
Winter camping benefits: The winter months offer a quieter camping experience with fewer crowds. A camper at Wind Creek State Park Campground shared, "We were the only trailer in loop D. It was quiet and very enjoyable! Being right on the lake and having the ducks swim up really thrilled our dogs. The bathrooms were very clean."
Facility conditions vary: Maintenance quality differs significantly between campgrounds. Some campers report issues with facilities at certain locations. One visitor noted, "Both men's and women's restrooms had trash all over floor, showers that didn't look to have cleaned in quite some time and toilets full of yuck."
Tips for camping with families
Look for campgrounds with play areas: Several parks feature dedicated children's facilities. A visitor to Eagle Landing RV Park shared, "Spent two days at this park on a premium lot while visiting the University of Auburn. Park was clean and quiet." The park offers convenient facilities for families.
Consider Water activities: Lakes and swimming areas provide built-in entertainment for children. One camper mentioned, "This campground is a better place for the summer not much to do in the winter. It's a place for swimming, fishing, and boat riding."
Pack for variable weather: The Alabama climate can change quickly, particularly in spring and fall. Temperatures can swing 30 degrees in a single day during transitional seasons, requiring layered clothing and weather-appropriate gear.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Many sites in the area require leveling equipment. At Chewacla State Park Campground, a camper advised, "The loop is nicely designed, full hookups, passing your target on the left (better visibility)." However, natural terrain often creates uneven sites requiring blocks or jacks.
Connection quality varies: Cell service and WiFi capabilities differ significantly between campgrounds. One camper reported, "Great location, water views. Only negative is that the wifi is not strong, but Verizon signal is great." Backup connectivity options are recommended for those needing reliable internet access.
Grocery access: Most campgrounds provide easy access to supplies. A visitor noted, "There's a discount store right across the street - they have everything, which was a plus!" Many camping areas are within 15-20 minutes of major shopping areas, making resupply convenient.
