Quiet, not any privacy, you had to drive to hike. Zero service or WIFI.

So clean. Shower house and bathrooms clean and big. Gorgeous views. Lots of things to do in the park.

Great location, water views. Only negative is that the wifi is not strong, but Verizon signal is great.

The pads are very uneven and there are just not many amenities. Very close to sports fields though.

The remodel has been finished. All the trees are gone. no more shade. There are all new sites, for RV's only, no more tent camping.  The rates have also increased, so expect to pay $75+ per night to stay there.

We were the only trailer in loop D. It was quiet and very enjoyable! Being right on the lake and having the ducks swim up really thrilled our dogs. The bathrooms were very clean. I imagine that summer is a very different experience, but we enjoyed it!

We just spent some time at several of Alabama’s state parks. This is by far the best state park that we went to. I can’t wait to go back!

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.

Don't be fooled by the name. This is not paradise, nor is it a resort. This is a trailer park for permanent residents.

Just up the Chinnabee silent trail from the turnip seed campground heading towards the pinhoti sits this awesome campsite. A nice open area in a pine thicket, this large site has 2 fire rings and is big enough for even large groups to spread out. It’s also right next to a creek for an easy water source and about 50 yards down a side trail so it’s nice and private. A few people walked down to see the site but nobody disturbed me. I will definitely camp hear again.

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.

So so so worth going, I didn’t leave to go anywhere, the hikes was awesome to see. The camp site I stayed was beautiful woke got to see the sun set. I rode my motorcycle there so for anyone who ride there motorcycle just be aware there some uneven site for your motorcycle to park. Unless you’re tall and you don’t have problem handling your bike. I’m 5,0 so it was learning curve me to see if I could handle my motorcycle up hill and down hill for campsites

Layover on our way to NM. Easy in and out. Gravel lot and level. Nice campground with amenities for kids. Self check in believe because it was the off season. Meet me at canoeing campground right off the river.

A gorgeous serene park with great staff, spacious spots, beautiful views and tons of hiking!

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.
