Service Campground on the Tombigbee River permits pets at all 15 campsites, including the waterfront sites that offer expansive views for dog walking. Campers report the pet-friendly sites are spacious with level concrete pads and gravel areas for pet recreation. Lenoir Landing and COE Coffeeville Lake Service Campground also welcome pets with designated pet waste stations throughout the grounds. The campgrounds feature a mix of tent-only and RV-compatible sites, though most riverfront locations have water and electric hookups that appeal to pet owners needing climate control. Bathroom facilities remain clean and well-maintained despite pet traffic, with hosts regularly restocking supplies and monitoring grounds for waste compliance. Many sites include fire rings and picnic tables positioned to allow pets to remain leashed while families enjoy outdoor meals together.
Hiking trails surrounding Service Campground provide excellent on-leash walking opportunities with multiple terrain types suitable for various dog fitness levels. Pets must remain leashed on all trails and camping areas due to wildlife activity, including wild boars reported at Lenoir Landing that necessitate caution during evening walks. The Tombigbee River offers water access points where calm waters provide swimming opportunities for water-loving dogs, though seasonal water level changes affect bank access. Sites 12-15 at Service Campground receive particular praise from campers with pets due to their peninsula location that offers water views on multiple sides. Barges passing on the river create interesting distractions for pets while maintaining sufficient distance for noise-sensitive animals. A Dollar General store located four miles from Service Campground provides emergency pet supplies, though visitors should bring specialized pet food and medications as local veterinary services are limited.

"I tent-camped at site 15, located at the very end of the campground. Site 15 and 16 are on a peninsula. They are the quietest and most isolated sites at Service Campground."
"It was pretty cold so the mosquitoes were quiet but I imagine they get bad in warmer weather due to the adjacent swamp. I'm pretty sure we heard gators in the swamp at night. Awesome."

Good place to stay
We were looking for a place to overnight. We found this place on the dirt. Full hookups, swimming pool, bath house, dog park, fishing lake, and oh yes! There is a train caboose on site. No real shade, but no matter. LEVEL CONCRETE PAD!

Nice place go slow
Overall I like the campground it is nice and mostly quiet the hiway does produce a bit of road noise but we could not hear it in the camper with the windows closed. Nice little dog park. Lots of turns so go slow and know your rig

LOVE THIS PLACE!
Sure it’s out in the middle of no where but that’s exactly what we were looking for. We stayed at site 35 on the river & it fit our 70 ft long big rig. The camp host are extremely nice and hospitable! The laundry is currently free! The bugs weren’t to bad. Hot tip- walk over past the dam to the “softball field” and it makes the perfect dog park. We were able to get perfect internet with our Starlink

Bonita Lakes RV Park
Nice, clean place to stay
No shade in this side of the park, but no worries. We needed a place to stay for the night and they had an opening with full hook ups. There’s a swimming pool, dog park, and bath house. Not to mention the level concrete pads!
Kids would love the fact that there’s a train caboose on site. Convenient, super easy to find a spot, and the lady in the office is super sweet.

The Best Campground Staff Ever!!!!
It is very easy to drive your rig in this park. I have read some reviews where people talk about the drive into the part as being horrible. When you leave I 20, you drive down a county road. It is the typical width of a county road. So just slow down and it is no problem. We drive a 44’ fifth wheel with a dually truck. Some sites have concrete(not in the best shape) and some have gravel pads. There are many trees but the park keeps them trim away from the roads. It was great to have shade. There is full hookup pull thru sites along with some back in sites. There are plenty of areas to walk your dogs along with a nice enclosed dog park. There are many activities for children– a large sandbox, pool, a water slide, playground, tether ball and a game room. This park is about 2 miles off I 20. It is very quiet. There are a few long timers but primary people stopping for one night Each night it is full and then empty by noon the next day. We were there for several months and paid$525 for the month. This included electricity. When we originally arrived, our plan was to stay one month to visit family. But due to some health issues with ourselves and our family, we ended up staying for over 6 months. The best part of this park is the staff. Each staff is friendly, welcoming and will do anything possible to make our staff so wonderful. The staff take meticulous care of the park including picking up daily all the cigarette butts that people think they can just leave on the ground. Due to their service, they get a lot of repeat customer visits.

Meeting Quarantina, our gently used Flying Cloud 23
We met our camper (and her prior owner) here at ClarkCo State Park. A perfect place to be introduced to her, complete our purchase and get oriented to our new (to us) camper. Lake side, lots of tree coverage has helped the August 95degree MS temps. Friendly neighboring campers, lots of kids swimming and kayaking. We even took the time to walk a trail or two. Dog friendly, easy hook ups. Prefect first camping experience so far.

Clarkco State Park Campground
Woodsy state park with dispersed camping near a lake
State park near Alabama/Mississippi border. Nice park. Chose to do primitive camping for $15 plus tax, but they offer other options too. -dispersed camping -some sites near lake -mediocre fire pits -picnic table -quiet aside from other campers -other campers seem like they get kind of rowdy there, but this was also a holiday weekend -the sites aren’t numbered and are hard to find in the dark because the fire pits and picnic tables are randomly placed throughout the woods. It was like a treasure hunt to find them. -the amenities were far away which is why we’re giving it 4 stars.

Hidden Gem!
We were evacuated to North LA for hurricane Ida. We wanted to find something closer after the storm passed. Found this place in a Google search and called to check availability. We figured we'd be out of luck being that we were trying to book labor day weekend. Luckily, a couple spots were available for us and our friends. As soon as we pulled in Kim greeted us and escorted us to our site, helped us back in, and made sure all of our plugs and hoses were long enough to reach. She even had extras available to lend us if needed. She made sure we were all settled in and everything was good before leaving. We couldn't have been luckier to have found this great little campground! After being cooped up in the camper and leashed outside, we were able to bring all of our pups to the enclosed dog play area that had a great big shade tree to run and run and run. Poop bags and garbage cans were convenient there and throughout the park. They had a nice little pool. Nothing fancy, but just what the kids needed. It wasn't busy in there so they had free reign to wear themselves out(after being cooped up in the campers too). There was a playground area right there between the pool and dog run. Then right next to there was the bath house and laundry room. The restrooms and showers were always clean, and I like that a code was needed to get in, I felt safe going there at night by myself. Since we were evacuating for much longer than we expected, we needed to do laundry too. 4 washers, 4 dryers. We were all so upset since between the 2 campers we had at least 5 or 6 loads of laundry needing to be done(between dogs and sick kids). We asked Kim about it, and the appliance people were there the very next day to fix all of them. She did say they come out once a week to check them all, but I'm sure she had something to do with their quick arrival. The campground is only a few minutes away from the city. There's walmart, walgreens, multiple grocery stores, dollar stores, and so much more. I was even able to bring our pup to a vet'soffice to get his nails clipped. Since we were there for so long we even found specialty coffee shops, nail shops, and an RV supply store all within about a 10 or so minute drive. They also have great wifi! Many of the spots were cement and beautifully leveled. We met a few really great people there, some that were camping, others that were also evacuated, and a couple that were staying there long term for various reasons. We were so lucky to have found Sleepy Hollow to stay when we needed a place most and we can't go back! Thank you Kim for being so gracious and welcoming!
Guide to Silas
Dispersed camping sites near Silas, Alabama provide riverside and wooded camping options along the Tombigbee River waterway. The region features a mix of Corps of Engineers managed areas and state parks within driving distance of Silas. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity from June through September, making spring and fall the preferred camping seasons for most visitors.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Turkey Fork Recreation Area, campers can access multiple fishing spots along the reservoir. "The children enjoyed playing with the perch that would swim up to them," notes Ashley F., while another visitor mentions the campground is "a local favorite" with a "friendly atmosphere."
Hiking trails: Clarkco State Park Campground offers several hiking paths around its lake. "We really enjoyed the hiking trails around the lake. Well maintained," reports one camper. The park features "a mix of playground equipment" and "a small lake with swimming, fishing, and boating."
Water recreation: Several dog friendly campgrounds near Silas offer swimming areas where campers can cool off. "The Tombigbee River offers water access points where calm waters provide swimming opportunities," while Clarkco State Park includes "a private swimming spot" and "a splash pad for kids to play in."
What campers like
River views: Many campers specifically seek sites with water views. "Site #6 on the River, with water and electric. Lots of room between sites, great views on the River Barges," shares Robert E. about his stay at Service Campground.
Clean facilities: Consistently maintained bathrooms are frequently mentioned in reviews. "Bathroom and Showers are clean with hand soap and paper towel. Nice hot water shower," notes one camper, while another states the "bathhouses are very nice and well maintained."
Wildlife watching: Lenoir Landing provides opportunities to observe local wildlife. "Great Sun Rises and viewing 3-5 barges pass each day, very relaxing camp," shares Michael P. The campground offers "several spots with river view and have picnic tables, and flat gravel and dirt areas for campers."
What you should know
Weather considerations: Summer months bring intense heat and humidity. "The mosquitos weren't as bad as I suspected, but the other creepy critters come out in numbers to explore after sunset. That's to be expected being surrounded by water," explains Byron T. at Service Campground.
Wildlife awareness: Campers should remain alert to local wildlife activity. "A word of warning for the spot there are currently a lot of wild boar activity and you can see where they have been rooting around the camp areas," cautions a visitor at Lenoir Landing who recommends being "very cautious after sunset walking dogs."

Tips for camping with families
Best family sites: Select spots away from water during peak mosquito season. "The sites off the river are in dark shaded timber and back up to a low area, so mosquitoes are probably gonna be hungry in the dark shaded timber!" warns one visitor to Service Campground, suggesting riverfront sites might be preferable for families with small children.
Pet-friendly options: Multiple dog friendly campgrounds near Silas welcome pets with certain restrictions. At St. Stephens Historical Park, "The horse flies really seemed to atack the dogs," notes Brian N., suggesting pet owners bring appropriate repellent.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. Joshua D. reports, "Camped in spot #8 directly across from the bathhouse and playground. The kids didn't want to leave and asked to come back," indicating the play facilities were a highlight of their stay.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose sites based on hookup needs and length. "The sites are spacious with level concrete pads," while some locations like Lenoir Landing have "back on spots for larger campers or RVs."
Supply options: Prepare for limited shopping in the immediate area. "There is a Dollar General and gas station 4 miles away if you need to get supplies. Verizon had great reception," shares Christo regarding Service Campground, giving RVers an option for last-minute necessities.
Dump station access: Plan for waste management needs before arrival. At Meridian East-Toomsuba KOA, visitors note, "We were just passing thru but used their dump station. Super convenient and clean. They only asked for a donation," providing a convenient option for RVers in the area.
