There was a lot of trash while I was here, there are bins but people didn’t use them? Or they did and nobody has come to get the trash bags? At least a truck beds worth of trash right now. However I am incredibly grateful for this spot, It’s raining and it is a paved easy road to get down in this land of low lying dirt roads, that was clutch. There’s a really nasty vault toilet down the hill, surprisingly there was toilet paper and what looks to be some trails but since it’s raining I probably will not partake.
Cool dam to watch if you drive down the hill too where the bathrooms are. It’s a shame that those who have used it have abused it, I’m going to clean it up the best I can, it could be a really pretty place.
There was nobody here in December on a rainy day. There are 2 loops - 1 for tents and smaller rigs and 1 that anything could fit. I wonder if this place gets busy, it is well used.
Guide
Friendly staff. Mountain biking. Campsites with them without electricity and water. Great place to stay.
Traveler
Great place. Has laundry, showers. Pool and table tennis in same room as laundry. Snack machine. Cabins. Unfortunately we arrived late and left early so we didn't get to use all the facilities. Wifi was pretty good.

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. Site 16 has a bit more space and is closer to the parking spots. Site 15 has a small pathway leading down to the water for easy fishing. The site already had firewood, but the hosts pointed out a pile near the bathhouse that campers were free to take. The sun rises right in front of both spots and disappears behind trees by 3pm. 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. Owning a boat would be a major plus here! It was a great trip and I'd definitely return!
ScoutThis was a nice spot and was free. You do have to have a reservation. It's a little unlevel and best to back in. Be sure to get a site map, or it will be hard to find.
GuideI was quite pleased with our stay here. Camped in spot #8 directly across from the bathhouse and playground. The kids didn't want to leave and asked to come back. A few families and many fishermen filled the campground. Everything was clean with very minimal trash that we helped to pick up. Camp hosts were friendly and efficient.
Guide
Hosts are friendly and helpful. Campground is well maintained and offers good amenities for the price. Bathhouse is clean, well stocked and functional. Campground had a mix of families and fishermen. The tent only sites feel a little sterile compared to other places I've tent camped but the RV sites are nice and shaded. Facilities are wheel chair accessible. Will definitely stay here again

Our family drove over an hour to fish here. Upon arriving at the gate, we weren’t even greeted. A older lady stood up and just stared at us with a mean look. After about a 30 second stare, she finally said“hi”. I said“hi”. Another 15 second stare and she said”can I help you?” Very rudely. I said“yes we’re here to fish”. She said“we’re closed”. I asked what time they close daily and mentioned that google says open 24hrs and their website doesn’t list hours and she said“4”. I said we drove an hour here and you don’t close for another 45 min can we just drive through and look around, it’s our first time here. She said well I’m not charging you. I said this place was recommended to me on Facebook-can we at least look around? She said“no we’re closed”. I said ok what’s the price? She said we’re closed. I said I understand what you’re saying but what is the price? She sat down and refused to answer me. We left. We probably won’t be back. I decided to check around to see their reviews and it seems this lady is rude to everyone. Why has she not been replaced? I believe her name is Tracy. I tried to find out who her boss was by calling and emailing. However, no one answers the phone and she told me via email she’s the supervisor. SHE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED! So many people complain about her!!
TravelerThe campground itself is beautiful. The noise level is terrible. So if you are retired or want a nice, quiet place, this isn't it. The sprawling playground that aligns the campsites assures of loud, screaming children at all hours. Further, either there is no noise ordinance, or it is not enforced as loud music is ongoing into the night. Unfortunately, have to strike this beautiful spot off the list.
Guide
So well maintained, it is way back in the woods. Cell service was on the struggle bus the whole time, but overall this is a great little place.
GuideLarge sites with plenty of space between. They rent tubes to float the creek or canoes to paddle the ponds in the park. Ponds have fish to catch, don’t even need an Alabama fishing license to fish. Super quiet.
Guide
Great price for camping with water, electric, dump station. Some issues with flooding in shower house 1. No problems finding another available one with plenty of hot water, space and cleanliness. Most sites were a bit close together - no privacy. Quiet campgrounds with nice view, wildlife and trails. Possibly my mistake in not understanding the alert that water was down in lake, but unable to launch our boat caused the lower rating. Normal size kayaks would have no problem.
Scout
Clean restrooms, reasonable fees (cash only), on-site manager friendly, but makes sure rules enforced to keep campground clean and family friendly.
Guide
I’ve camped at Mystic Springs numerous times. I book the group site. Very large & spacious. Perfect for a large group or multiple people. Plenty of room for several tents. It has a fire ring, grill, covered structure with 2 picnic tables, a garbage can and a large portapotty. It’s generally very quiet. It’s a gated site so to me it feels more secure. People do walk through the site occasionally but not too often. It’s primitive camping so no power & no potable water. Most sites have water view.
TravelerGreat stay, open spaces. Could pick up trash more often. Three great sites: 7,8, and 9. 1 &2 are joined.
Scout
The campground is surrounded by creeks, rivers, and hunting land owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. I had a wonderful experience there along with friendly staff. They kept the bathrooms and showers clean.
GuidePark is specious, nice big level site on asphalt - we didn't need to put blocks at all. Right of the river. The bad: too many bugs, ok we are in the humid south b, on the river, so bugs are to be expected. But, even with insects repellent - they still came, no relief. We had to be inside the RV. Other issue: no trash cans nearby. Ok, so we are fine with 1 trash for several sure. But no, the 1 trash was at the entrance, 300 yards away. More: you can go and swim in the river even when it's 10ft away. You have to go to the day camping , all the way on the other side of the trv parking. Internet for ATT is bad, maybe 1mb/sec download. If it wasn't for the beautiful setting I would give it just 3 stars. But the river is so nice, so 4stars

I have been going here since I was a little boy and was finally able to take my wife to camp here. I love this place. The road to the damp grounds are very sandy and iffy when it rains. The camp site itself is nice and private. The bath house needs cleaning from the roaches and spiders. It also has a small playground. The canoe trip is a must!!
Scout
Beautiful park, love that it is smaller and felt secure. Enjoyed walking on the dock and view of the water. Went on a treed hike. Not to bad in shade with the water breeze for June.
Scout
Very nice, quiet. love this place. Second time here. Same spot. Just love it
Traveler
Lake was wonderful. They have lifeguards during the summer. There’s a small hiking trail from krul to bear lake. Clean bathrooms. Camp sites were clean and decently spaced apart. Campgrounds hosts were extremely kind and helpful.
ScoutBig camping spaces- semi private. Kayaking trails all around in the park and local. Close by to big city life but camping in the wild yonder
GuideWhile the tenting sites were inexpensive at $15 per night, the campground is next to I-65 and the noise levels are extremely high. Only one of the 4 bathrooms was available and it was an unusable mess. In addition, part of the door frame had broken and a board with long nails was hanging down, waiting to fall on an unlucky bathroom user. There was no attendant when we checked in and someone was in our reserved space. You would be much better off parking overnight for free at the Cracker Barrel the next exit towards Mobile.
TravelerI camped for 4 nights at site 7 next to the river. Beautiful and quiet.
GuideGate closes at 4:00 PM (Feb). Restrooms sketchy. But nice sites
GuideApparently it is permanently closed. We called and either the phone lines were disconnected or the Maine state forest office had no information on it. Perplexing.
Guide
We just stopped here for the night on our way to Florida. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The campground (mostly grass, but there are a few cement pads) is well kept, spacious and quiet.
