Fishing, Trail riding, Hiking, and Primitive Camping Fishing is available in the 100-acre lake. Primitive roads throughout the forest provide a scenic view for trail rides. The longleaf forests provide ample habitat for viewing many native wildlife species including: deer, turkey, quail, rabbit, fox, bobcat, squirrel, and non-game species as well. The Alabama Hiking Trail Society has established and maintains a hiking trail around the lake. Each of these recreational activities requires a daily permit which can be obtained at Geneva State Forest Lake.
This 25-acre park offers a boat ramp, primitive RV and tent sites (first come-first serve), picnic areas, restrooms, hiking, and fishing.
This is a 38 acres private ranch with 3 full camper / horse trailer hook ups. The dirt road has very little traffic, for nice quiet walks. 'The Loft' is a common area with shelter and seating in the loft of the red Barn to enjoy conversation, while watching the mules graze or observe the hummingbirds when in season. There is a community fire pit with a nice stack of firewood when weather permits.. You'll be parking on a uneven grassy area for full hook ups. We have lots with water and shelter if you are traveling with your horses at no additional charge. 2 hook ups have no max length. The 3rd is a back into site, it is limited to 30' overall. You are able to disconnect your truck if you are over on length.
$40 / night
Guide
Note - I drive a 20’ van - so non level is ok for me but these sites were not level - but I spent 2 nights sat/sun - and it was gorgeous especially for sunrise. Wish I could have stayed longer but I didn’t want to get stuck there in the rain - it was about 5 miles of dirt roads to get in there and they were well maintained but I didn’t want to risk it.
There are 2 hiking trails - more like atv trails that go to either side of the lake from the campground. You can go further into the forest but it was deer hunting season so I didn’t explore.
It was so peaceful and the sunrises over the lake were breathtaking.
$5 a day and there is a QR code on the board to pay, or you can by an annual pass for $40 if you plan on staying at least 9 days it’s worth it. It doesn’t hold your place on the form unless you create an account which is why the dyrt link doesn’t work.
Overall if I’m passing through again I would go back.
Also appreciated the free trash cleanup, clean porta potties and picnic tables. No fire rings really but you can tell where people burn campfires.
It’s a well maintained park and you can tell a lot of love has gone into it. Even had a ranger come through!
GuideBeautiful park to camp next to the lake with 2 fishing docks. No bathrooms just port a potty. The camping price is $2 per night, no reservation is needed, and is online payment.
GuideBeautiful views, clean restrooms, and free. Other campers were very friendly. The only reason for a 3 is the rough drive getting there.
ScoutWant to be away from it all - this is the place. Grass sites, some shade.
GuideThis place has a lot of amenities pool, fishing, horse and atv trails that are great for beginner horseriders. Bathhouses are pretty nice cabins are great and affordable. Stalls or paddocks for your horses fresh water. Also has an arena to ride in. The camp sites don’t have a lot of shade but you can cool off in the pool. This is not a campsite in the deep woods it’s out in the open so don’t expect a woodsy feel although the trails make up for it they are well kept.
