"We stayed here for one night while traveling through Alabama. Looks like most of the sites are level with concrete parking pads. Many great waterfront sites with lots of big shade trees."
"Sites along the lake tended to be closer together than I like, but with great views. Sites across the street tended to offer a little more space and, in some cases, more privacy."
"Great hiking trail for a quick half day visit and also plenty of room on the ponds dam for tent camping!"
$26 - $32 / night
"This is one of the cleanest campgrounds I've ever stayed and it's centrally located between Montgomery and Selma, as well as a nice stop en route to Florida."
"The river also runs pretty close to some of the sites as well. Our site had a nice paved pull in as well as a gravel area with a large picnic table and fire ring."
"Also known as Bob Woodruff Park, located right on the Alabama River, there's access to swimming, hiking, fishing and of course boating."
$14 - $26 / night
"Very isolated with full amenities on the Alabama river system.. David and Lora Fitch."
"I thought I was lost I had traveled so far off the beaten path. Suddenly I see a sign! Whew! Surrounded by water this campground was not very full in November."

"Great camground, with plenty of access to river. There is even a beach for swimming!"
"It is by a beautiful lake and a friendly, well kept campground. It's also close to home so it is easy to run down and get out of town."
"This little gem of a campground is kind of off the beaten path between Montgomery and Selma."
"When we made reservations, we were told to only take exit 179 off I-65 and follow the GPS directions, as any other way will take you on narrow roads, including gravel roads."
TravelerWe stayed at Kickback Ranch over the Christmas holiday, and it was the perfect setup for our family. I reserved an RV site for my teardrop camper—it was peaceful, quiet, and had everything I needed to unwind. I also booked a few cabins for the rest of the family so everyone could have their own space. The Wagon Wheel cabin ended up being our gathering spot—it was spacious, well-stocked, and made meals and family time easy and comfortable. We were able to hop on the Wi-Fi when needed, and the outdoor grills came in handy for cooking a few good meals together. The staff were kind and helpful anytime we had questions, but otherwise let us enjoy our stay without interruption. It was a great winter getaway, and having everyone close but with their own privacy made it even better. Would absolutely come back.
ScoutThe host are very nice and very helpful. This was a group event. The spots are very close and perfect from group camping.
LegendThe Payne Lake spillway is a nice place to have a picnic and view the lake. There is a pavilion with four picnic tables underneath it and then there are isolated picnic tables around the area. They have fire pits and grills nearby for cooking. There are also bathrooms across from the pavilion. The boat ramp for the lake is right down the road from the spillway parking area. No camping is allowed in this area of the campground.
TravelerPeaceful! Wish it had more trails but it was nice.
LegendThis is a great spot to stay the night. The casino has an actual full RV park here as well, but they also allow overnight parking in the RV day parking area, or even in the regular car parking lot if you prefer. The RV parking area is there for patrons to use while they’re inside gambling or eating at the restaurant, so they expect that people will want to park there for the night on occasion, since the casino is open 24hrs. We stayed for free in the RV parking area for the night with no issues. We went in to the RV park office to ask permission and the manager was very nice and welcoming.
Huge grassy area for the dogs. Great night, very quiet. There are 3 actual RV “spots” and then about 5 more level concrete pads, if the spots are taken. Nobody else stayed the night when we stayed there. This spot seems to be where the sheriffs like to come and chill.
ScoutWe had a nice stay in site 67. The campground was renovated sometime in the not too distant past with large concrete pads, as well as water and electrical hook ups. Many sites have full hook ups, all at a reasonable price. It seems like they were able to retain all the trees when they put the pads in, which retains the wooded feel of the campground. Some sites are right on the water. The bathrooms were large but could have been better maintained. All around a very nice campground.
TravelerExactly what the Dr ordered. The camper sites were full, but I can run self contained for a few days with no problems. I can see the bathhouse. No neighbors. Goats are visiting this morning. Well manicured lawn. Owner answers the phone and escorted me to my site. I won’t need an escort next time! Price cannot be beat. Super safe as well- No worries Wonderful spot
LegendBooked sites with friends months ago for a one night stay on the way to Columbus, MS. As such, we were able to book FHU sites along the water. Very long and level concrete pad. Great Verizon signal and numerous free digital TV stations to choose from.
TravelerAs an advid RVer its always hard to meet the title requirements. The park is easy to access off Hwy 80 and we chose a pill through {site 17} the site was clean and free of leaves, the park host even called us the morning of and let us know the site was open, she asked for a 1 hour heads up to be ready for our check in, all was ready when we arrived, she checked our senior pass and received a great deal at $12 per night. We had plenty of T-mobile service and streamed to our TV with no problem. Be prepared fro some mosquito action at around 5PM, so streaming TV will come in handy. Will book again this park, very pleased.
