    Peaceful

    Many sites decorated for Halloween. Even little trick or treaters. Many sites on the river. Cool to watch the working barges going by. And lots of armadillos.

    Friendly Creek-Side Find

    RV spots are suitable for car camping, although a bit close together with bright street lights and showers are outdated. Still, the camp host treated me kindly, and I enjoyed the scenery and walkability!

    Off grid quiet and beautiful.

    Beautiful small park. Great riverside pull thru spots. All spots are sizable. Lots of wildlife. Hosts are very helpful. Off grid and quiet with the occasional boat.

    Bright light and road noise

    Stopped for an overnight on our way home to Atlanta from a trip out west. Not much of a park. Most sites are long term or semi permanent. Only 6 available for regular RV. Water, 30/50 amp electric & sewer There is a small laundry room The office wasn’t open but we had reservations and had received an email about our site and directions. WiFi was poor. It is right off of I-20 so there was lots of road noise all night. There was a very bright vapor light above our site that lit up the whole area. There is a small dog walking area.

    Off the beaten path

    Its not impossible, just slow going. Roads to get here are narrow, hilly, and twisty, but in good condition. If you have a rig longer than 30ft and want room to breathe, get a pull-through site. The campground doesn’t do the best job at marking how to get to each site and some site number posts are knocked over, like Site #16, which makes it a little tricky to navigate. Water pressure is on the low side compared to other campgrounds. But the site views and peace & quiet are worth it.

    Quiet in Feb

    Nice river front sites on the Ten-Tom waterway. You get to watch river barges approaching the lock/dam. HOT showers. Facilities are aging but in good condition.

    Dump Station!

    This is a great place to dump your tanks. Only one problem and we expect it to be resolved soon. The charge is $5.00 but there is no one to pay! The sign claims you can pay in the park, the dump is outside the park, at the entrance or exit. Afterwards we continued to “in the park” to pay with our 53’ rig with car in tow. We looked for a place to pay we gave up and had to try to turn around running over the curb with Motorhome and car we thought we should just mail the fee. A BOX AT THE DUMP STATION SEAM TO BE A SIMPLE FIX.

    October in lots 40 and 42

    The campground was full for the fall holiday. However, the energy was great. It was our first time at the park. The hosts were very helpful. The showers and bathrooms are dated but clean. The best views are located on the water in the lots 80-85. Level spaces and easy to back in.

    Easy Off Interstate

    We stayed at Sunset West, which is the same RV park, but just about 5 minutes down the road. Amenities were only available at the east location. This included a small office, laundromat, and shower room. We had site 57, which was a level blacktop site that had sewer, water, cable and electricity. Dumpster located on site for trash. Loud traffic noise. But, with all that, it was 45.33 with tax.

    Great But Noisy Around Holidays

    I tent camped with two kiddos in spot #30 and we had a lovely view of the woods. Each spot has a gravel platform and some of my stakes wouldn’t grab but the tent held up. It was noisy at night with some folks partying but eventually it died down. Spots are a bit close (you can see the camper parked across the street from us) and you can easily hear comings and goings of other campers. It was May when we camped here and hot and very humid during the day. Cooler but still super humid at night. Each site has a nice fire ring, picnic table and a grill.

    The guy at the front gate was super nice and helpful.

    My kids enjoyed hiking and the bball court (where some other kids congregated). The nets were barely hanging on but still playable. The bathrooms were clean.

    Great family getaway

    Shady & spacious campground along the Tenn-Tom with a boat ramp on calm water just off the main channel. Take your bikes and kayaks!

    Beautiful

    This campground was amazing. Our site was right off the lake. The scenery was beautiful, it was quiet, the sites are pretty spread out. Camp sites 3-12 is where you want to be. There is a playground for kids, a boat dock if you have one, or you can just fish right off your site. The camp host was a very helpful and sweet man. We loved this campground and will definitely be back.

    Great for a weekend getaway

    Busy campground but enough space so it doesn’t feel like your neighbors are right on top of you. Plenty of shade and many spots have a direct view of the Tenn-Tom Waterway.

    Loved the beach and trails!

    Overall, this is a very nice and convenient campground. We really enjoyed the beach area and the trails. Lots of mountain bikers throughout the weekend. It did have shower houses but we did not use any because we lucked out and got a full hook up site I will say most of the sites are not level, I have some broken concrete and need some TLC. We stayed in the B loop and loves the proximity to the playground and beach. Seems like there could have been numerous full-time residents staying in Loop A.

    Quiet and peaceful

    Sites 5 and 8 are our favorite. Really, any site on the small lake is great. Those are the smaller number spots. Almost always one available. Large hands in the smaller lake. I haven't even had a bite in the larger lake. This is our local campground and we go a few times a year. No WiFi and very little cell signal, as camping should be. We love it.

    Nice Place

    Nice little quiet place. Camp hosts are very nice and helpful. Electric and water at site with dump on property. If you’re interested in fishing it right on the water and I hear it’s good fishing.

    Worst Campground, but Cheap!

    PROS 

    Over 65 discount resulted in$15/night 

    Quiet 

    Moveable Wooden metal picnic table in good condition on concrete slab 

    Pedestal BBQ grill 

    Toilet/shower building has AC 

    Clean toilet/shower building 

    Ample TP, paper towels and soap available in toilet/shower building 

    Trash barrel at each campsite 

    Park very close to Louisville

    2 bars T-MOBILE


    CONS 

    No personnel at entrance gate at 1pm and again at 230pm but was at gate 415pm Phone number posted at entrance gate office so I called, but no one answered so left voice message. Still waiting on a call back…yes still...

    Site reservation posted to site electrical box which is not viewable from roadway 

    No ranger drive thru campground 

    No park host 

    Not dark sky friendly as there are street lights at sites 15 and 11 with 3 street lights at the toilet/shower building 

    Few of the 15 sites here are level side-to-side. We had to get creative in our site #4 as when parked on the asphalt pad we did not have enough leveling equipment so had to straddle pad with door side on the gravel. 

    Huge pot holes in the asphalt parking pass site 

    #4 No campfire“ring” at campsites so we just has a fire on the ground 

    No privacy from any other site 

    Shower curtain for toilet stall “doors” in both men and women 

    No park WIFI

    Good times

    Really nice state park. Recently updated picnic tables. Nice quiet spots. We tent camped on a camper spot. Only complaint is that the showers could use a good remodeling, very dated. Other than that had a great time.

    Spacious sites

    We are staying in site 25 and it’s absolutely amazing. We are camping with family who have the spot beside us in the front. Directly behind us is the playground which is a total win if camping with kiddos. Will return.

    Nice overnight stopping spot on an AL State Road in Cottondale, AL. Park has 93 mixed pull-thru and bac-in sites. 1-33 are on the office side of the road with 34 - 93 on the opposite side. Price is great at $33 a night.

    Park has only 1 Bath/shower on the office side and no Bath house on the larger site side. FHU sites are more than acceptable.

    PARKING LOT CAMPING

    We stopped here just for a quick overnight stay on our way to Louisiana. Gravel spots with a concrete slab in front. Definitely just a no frills parking lot with full hookups. No trees, no playground, no pool, no picnic table, no fire ring. There are 2 parking areas. The first area has the office, laundry and bathroom. Our site was 53. Each site faces the one parking next to you! See pictures. But, for 29 dollars a night for full hookups, it's ok.

    Good For Quick Overnight Stay

    Literally right off the interstate at Tuscaloosa. Much lower noise level than I expected. Definitely a parking lot, without trees. We are in site 9, pretty level gravel site, electric and water hookup only. 2 dump stations are available, 2 dog parks. 30 dollars a night. Mostly long term parking. No firepits or picnic tables. Check in by phone, no office.

    Over all, great camp

    The camp was quiet, restrooms clean, camp host very nice. Unfortunately the laundry wasn't working on our visit. Water and electric on or spot. Dump station by the bathhouse. After 10 pm the gates are locked up. So if you need to leave you have to contact the camp host.
