We stayed overnight, we had a back in spot that was level. Had all the proper hook ups including a flag pole and pond view. There were lots of open spots but they did keep everyone close together. The only thing that dropped a star was the sounds from the highway was absolutely overwhelming. It was so loud we had a hard night sleeping. Would not recommend the stay if you’re not staying in something to block out sound.

Beautiful 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.

FHU, paved and level sights, clean and updated bathhouse and clean pool, playground, dogpark, koi pond, horseshoes, cute general store with necessities and souvenirs, propane refill and firewood! Has a quaint pond, with a bridge, and displays colorful lights at night. The Owner, Lori, showed us to our spot, and made sure we had everything we needed and gave us info on local shops and parks. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. We have been to this KOA 3 times now, and can’t wait to go back!

Arrived at guard gate and was welcomed by friendly staff. Quiet campground with waterfront site 8. Plenty of space between sites. FHU, level gravel, waterfront site with picnic table, fire ring, and grill. Felt safe, and across the street from bathrooms/laundry. Dated but clean. Woman’s bathroom with showers & bathroom stalls. 2 washers & dryers, as well as a folding table. No dog park, but plenty of nature, paved roads for walking, as well as easy to find, marked trails. 10 minutes to town, with restaurants and a few stores to pick up groceries & necessities. Playground is on the other side of the trails, as well as the boat ramp. Lots of wildlife. Would stay here again!
GuideThis is an older state park. We had a nice site that backed up to the lake. Only negatives were: the trash bin could have been closer (the exercise though was worth it) and the 'acorns' from the trees made for some loud bangs on the roof. Some nice trails for hiking.
We were in site 22 and next trip would like to try and get 2, 5 or 15
Park located in Opp, AL which was named for attorney Opp who brought the train hub to the town

RangerSweet on and off 231 all paved pull through sites. Catch and release pond, camp store, propane, showers, laundry, close to restaurants. Everyone is escorted to their site by the wonderful owner and her staff.
RangerQuiet, cheap, good cell service, and okay bathrooms. Just watch out for alligators around the pond!

Love the old abandoned bridge
GuideBeautiful views, clean restrooms, and free. Other campers were very friendly. The only reason for a 3 is the rough drive getting there.

Great price for camping with water, electric, dump station. Some issues with flooding in shower house 1. No problems finding another available one with plenty of hot water, space and cleanliness. Most sites were a bit close together - no privacy. Quiet campgrounds with nice view, wildlife and trails. Possibly my mistake in not understanding the alert that water was down in lake, but unable to launch our boat caused the lower rating. Normal size kayaks would have no problem.
ScoutWant to be away from it all - this is the place. Grass sites, some shade.

Great little campground. Several miles of walking paths around (part of) lake. Walk into town is about a mile. Half the sites are on the water, other half backs to trees. Full hook ups, good restroom/shower. First come, pay at the front building.
TravelerNice campground, clean, large sites Good walking trails. Nice facilities.
ScoutGreat campground. Lots of trees and shade. Greeted by host. Bathhouses were clean. Campground was very well maintained. Beautiful lake. Beach swimming area and boat ramps nearby. Wifi works great.
ScoutTrue to the word campground. This place has trees and wildlife and a beautiful lake while also having a laundry facility, bathhouse an wifi. Not like your average luxury rv resorts ( parking lot with a pool). On-site host greets you and gets you checked in as you enter the park. Maintenence crew does a fantastic job keeping the grounds looking great year round. There is also a nearby beach swimming area and boat ramps.

4 RV sites with water and electricity(30/50 amp) hookups(no sewer). Showers and toilets are very close and clean and well maintained.
The family staff is incredibly nice and helpful.
Internet is fantastic, both their Wi-Fi and our Starlink.
Thumbs up.
Guide
Nice place on the lake, well maintained. We wanted to do laundry and try new kind of a campground. Overall positive, but expensive. Sites are really near each other, no privacy. Probably ok for one time. Will go back to the more simple campgrounds. Had Wi-Fi, slow 1-2mgb/s . Att reception is fast.

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE: I made reservations back in August of 2022 for the July 4th, 2023, weekend (11 Months in advance). On my day of arrival, June 29th, I pull into the campground to check in and come to find out, the owner, Matt Fox, had lost my reservation. Matt works from home outside of Chicago. My card had been fully charged for the full stay 11 months prior. I traveled with my truck and 33-foot bumper pull camper for approx. 450 miles to be told I have no camp site. This is a unique campground. I had no other options. Instead of them realizing their mistake and assigning me a site and then making calls to cancel a reservation that was made after mine, they simply turned me away. The onsite managers tried to figure something out by trying to fit a square into a round hole. LOL. Meaning force my 33-foot camper attached to my 4-door truck around a 90 degree turn to then hit the overhang of an adjacent camp site roof over and over an eroded trail. There was no way it would fit is my point. That made me question their knowledge of the camping world. The owners operate off site near Chicago. They micromanage the reservations and local managers have no control over it. This business model is a joke. And this is a clear example of how it does not work. And from what I heard; matt makes mistakes all the time on reservations. They don't keep good records, or they would have never lost my paid in full reservation. This cost me the customer and they don't care. So here I sit, 450 miles from home with the cost to get there, pissed off and agitated knowing that I have an 8-hour drive back home because I have no other options. And a Holiday Weekend! They said they would give me a full refund and I had to ask for 100.00 for gas assistance. But they gave me no confirmation number of the refund. That had to come from Matt! The total trip was around 18 hours and approximately 900 miles which cost me around$400.00 in gas plus a lost vacation day from work. The drive home was very frustrating. I could not believe the way I had been treated. I honestly was in disbelief. It was the owner's fault and not the camp host/managers as the owners in Chicago run the show. And not a very good job at it from my experience. I sent the owners a text and picture of my odometer showing the average mpg and how many miles traveled and the time and ask for a$900 reimbursement. But they refused. How would you feel if you drove that many miles and for that length of time and spent that amount of money for nothing? They do not know what customer service all is about. They got their camp full for the July 4th weekend with over booking so I did not matter. I was nothing to them. They even required full payment up front. They are just looking out for themselves and are struggling apparently. Please, for those reading this, stay away. Its not worth what I went through to walk around naked and have man on man sex in the woods. This place disgusts me from a customer service standpoint.

Level sites. Spacious. Quiet.

As far as the campground goes, the ground is nice and even with fire pits and trees. But the bathrooms and showers are dirty and gross. The staff is lazy and rude. The grounds are rundown. The slides look dirty and unsafe. Over it was over priced for the experience offered.
LegendThis 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.

Lake was wonderful. They have lifeguards during the summer. There’s a small hiking trail from krul to bear lake. Clean bathrooms. Camp sites were clean and decently spaced apart. Campgrounds hosts were extremely kind and helpful.
LegendThis is one of the best campgrounds we've ever stayed! Beautiful, picturesque campsites. A lot of them have lake views. Bathrooms/showers are gorgeous.
We didn't use the pool.
They have a nice camp store/office.
There's a lot of wooden fishing docks. Boats to rent.
The gate has an access code, but they text you with the code. I didn't check my texts, so there was some confusion on my part.
The only negative thing I can think of to say is the sites are rather tight. We had an empty site next to us for 2 nights, so it was all good!
RangerBeautiful, well kept park, shaded sites. Caught a awesome bass!
