Best Campgrounds near Phenix City, AL

395 Reviews

The eastern side of Alabama is home to Phenix City, where campers can find several good spots to set up. COE Walter F. George Lake Bluff Creek Campground sits on the lake with big camping spots for tents and RVs. Each site comes with a picnic table and fire ring, and the lake is right there for fishing or taking a boat out. Not far away, Providence Canyon State Park has some really interesting hiking - people call it Georgia's 'Little Grand Canyon' because of the unusual rock formations. Florence Marina State Park is another option where you can easily get to the Chattahoochee River. The park has clean bathhouses and a marina if you want to rent boats or get supplies. Weather matters when planning a trip - summers get hot and sticky, while winters stay pretty mild. Most people think spring and fall have the best camping weather. You might need to book ahead for some campgrounds, especially when it's busy. It's smart to check if there are any special rules before you go. The Phenix City area works well whether you want to hang out by the water or walk some trails.
