  They put a massive amount of money into updating this place. This is the #1 best state park campground I have ever been at. Some of the non-5star reviews are people before the updates or people that really should just be at a KOA resort.

  This place has everything, mtn bike, gravel bike, trail running, road running, road biking, golf, equestrian, sailing and fishing.

  It has wifi throughout and almost everywhere in the park has cell reception.

  Oak Mountain State Park Campground

  Wonderful updates

  I grew up near oak mountain and it’s always been a decent campground for the price. After we purchased our first camper this summer we decided to go give it a shot at Oak Mountain before we went further out. We were unaware that they had completely revamped the entire place. The bathhouses were awesome and clean as were the laundry rooms. They had plenty of supplies in the store if you forgot something. We will be returning during the fall. Sites are pretty spacious and well maintained.

  Oak Mountain State Park Campground

  Beautiful campground year round

  Having visited 3 times now, twice before the renovations and now once after, I can confidently say I love this park! I have previously primitive camped here and now camper at a full hookup RV site. Tent sites range from "water in vicinity," "water at site," and "water and 20 amp power at site." Rv sites are water and electric or full hook up. I think all RV sites are now 50/30/20 but I'm not certain. There is a dump station near the exit of the campground. Sites are mostly level/slight grade but found that not all drain very well when it rains, including our site a17.

  The park has so many different activities including -Hiking -Bmx trails -Swimmimg -Archery range And more I can't even remember.

  Flip side watersports operates at 2 locations and paid activities include -wake boarding -Aqua Park And rentals of -Kayaks -stand up paddle boards -paddle boats And -Canoes.

  There are things to do year round and the weather was great for mid July.

  Average Park-Would return

  *Cabin 3 Stars- Older cabin that had some maintenance and repair issues, generally clean however several minor details needed some cleaning attention, would also benefit from a fresh coat of paint throughout, could use a pressure wash outside *Campground 3 Stars- very peaceful and quiet, nice lake overlook areas, minimal shade, gravel roads *Amenities 3 stars- many amenities yet minimally maintained and showing age and wear *Staff 5 stars- Very friendly, helpful, and responsive

  Beautiful Campground

  This state park has it all. A place to swim, numerous hiking trails, playgrounds, etc. The newly remodeled campground is spectacular. The pads are super level (at least in A16. Small tent spots sprinkled in. Saw security and police several times just passing through to check on folks. Love that. We will be back many more times for sure.

  Mainly RVs

  This is a beautiful place. If you’re looking for more primitive and secluded places to camp this place is mainly for POEPLE with rvs.

  The Ridge Outdoor Resort

  Nice site

  This is a motocross, zip line and paint ball camp. The people that checked us in were great. Charge was $5 per person. So $11.00 for us. The sites are grassy. We are the only ones here so we pulled up to the bath house. They will be out to turn on the hot water in a bit. Quiet. Relaxing after a day of seeing the sites. I have 2 bars on my Verizon.

  Backcountry Site — Oak Mountain State Park

  A family tradition

  I’ve been going here since I was a kid and it’s one of my favorite places in the world. You’ll never run out of things to do between the endless hiking trails, the museum of wildlife, and the wildlife rescue center. There’s an archery station within the park and a petting farm. The campground is easily navigated with multiple bathhouses per campground so you’ll always have one nearby.

  The campground is wooded with electric and water hookups . Very nice!

  The campground is very nice and woodsy.  The campsites have water and electric hookups.  They have nice paddocks for your horses.  The multiple trails are so beautiful .  I have been here many times.

  Big Wills Creek Campground and Tubing

  Below expectations but with some work this place could be really good.

  The Good:

  The staff member that checked us in was really friendly and polite. She was a delight to talk to and did a great job explaining the information we needed to know. 

  The C57 lot is right beside the dam and put in area for tubing. It was nice to sit out back and hear the water rushing through the opening in the dam. 

  The site had 50 and 30 amp service, water and sewer. Everything worked great. The site was pretty close to level. 

  After the tubers were done for the day, the creek was a pretty quiet area. The fish were biting and several folks pulled up some nice bass throughout the stay. 

  Tubing is included with the stay.

  The Bad:

  The roads are gravel (well mostly dirt) and are full of potholes. They aren't maintained very well at all. 

  Coming into the park you pass an area with a bunch of full-time campers sitting nearly on top of each other. It's a rough looking area that you will need to pass by with entry or exit. 

  The grass wasn't maintained very well and there were clippings blown everywhere. The picnic table was covered, there were piles of grass all over and the grass / weeds on the walk down to the creek were knee high. 

  The firepit was full of trash and glass. I didn't even bother with it. It was also closer to my neighbor than my campsite. His firepit was an old rim.

  Very little gravel to park the RV on. Mostly grass. 

  No room between campers. My neighbors awning was basically on top of my hookups. 

  Despite a lengthy list of rules, I didn't see any being enforced. Neighbors were shooting fireworks, open glass containers all around the water, no quiet time enforcement, etc...

  Thought there would be more spaces

  The management and office personel were very friendly. Sadly every spot you might be a le to see the lake from was already taken by what seems to be someone living there full time. Not many even close to level spots. It is sad because it is on such a lovely lake.

  Just okay

  I have camped at the horse campground a few times. Nothing fancy there, they are side by side pull thrus similar to a KOA. And the horse trails are nice. This time I camped at the regular campground in a travel trailer. Site A14. Site was pull thru across from camphosts and bathroom. Site was small but nice - water/elec only and pull thru. Picnic table and fire ring, no grill. Camp hosts (woman) was friendly. Asked for assistance in moving a bench so my son could get his wheelchair along the sidewalk to the men’s bathroom: her husband (assume they are married) never came out despite being asked by his wife a few times and me waiting 20 min. On that note, the bathrooms are old and dingy and not ADA at all. But it would have been nice to get some assistance. Overall, this is a good campground if you have young kids and like a lot of activity around you and don’t need anything ADA. Oh and be aware of poison ivy. It was EVERYWHERE

  nice but cramped

  we stayed in a tent site in dec '22'' , the sites are very close together and the tent  site we were on hardly had enough space for our 3 person backpacking tent . there are fire pits, grills, and tables available on each site as well as water  . we appreciated the security gate and extremely clean and heated bathhouses with showers . the park has a nice playground and a pool we were unable to try during the winter months .  the campground is very close to town and as so expect alot of noise from traffic

  The customer service was terrible! There was a bit of confusion while checking in and they ended up over charging my card by 40 dollars. Which would have been fine we chose to extend our reservation. However, they don't want to refund my money. I have had to jump through hoops just to gain consideration on the matter. In the beginning I was completely shut down with one excuse after another as to why my transactions from the bank were not accurate. Then I had to print off a official statement from my bank which is not a option. For security reasons they only mail requested statements physically to the address on file aside from the monthly statement issued at the end of each month and its th 8th! So I had to pay another 39 dollars to extend. I used the same card to show the same type of charge previously because we ended up paying cash upon check in. That wasn't enough! Its 2 days after check out and I still don't have my money back. She said the accountant had to review the alleged charge. I was outraged. Not to mention the fact that it wasn't I who made the mistake why was I having to jump through hoops regardless.

  Underwhelmed

  The park itself is beautiful, but the campground was trashy in my opinion. We were just traveling through but I wouldn’t want to stay for longer than a night. The campground by the interstate exit was a lot nicer when driving by.

  The spot we had was extremely hard to park in and the hookups didn’t make sense how they were posted. Pavilion looked dumpy and not well kept.

  CONS

  $5 reservation fee for making my own on-line reservation 

  Street lights throughout campground 

  Toilet/shower facility heavily used which badly needs updating 

  Campground trash dumpsters are beyond the campground gate…not walkable 

  Poor signage upon entering Park. We stopped at the first building on the right, as it was marked RANGER OFFICE with a large, rig-friendly parking area, but it was not a check-in for campers. Then we went through another gate on the main roadway and it wasn’t the campground check-in either. Campground directional signs after we got through that gate. Glad we didn’t arrive in the dark! 

  Limited and very tight rig parking at campground gate check-in 

  No notice by park on the south entrance roadwork and roundabout construction...horribly tight to maneuver... recommend North entrance/exit until construction is completed…that’s how we departed. 

  Never saw a camp host 

  No WiFi 

  2 bars Verizon
