Great tent campground. Lots of privacy. Water spikes and grill and picnic table on site. The bath house was pretty clean though the shower head wasnt great. They were really close to the tent sites though. There's also a swimming hole right across the street from the tent sites which was also really nice! The caverns were beautiful. Will definitely go back!

If you’re tent camping, sites B64 and B65 are a bit isolated in their own area and right on the water. Not much shade (though 65 next door does have a tree) so better for the cooler months, but you can fish or kayak right from your spot! Tent sites are on $14/night, and usually have good availability, so a great deal.

I really appreciated having the separate tent area, which always makes for a quieter camp. The sites are right on the water and have a nice breeze. There are a few trees spread about, but definitely not a lot of shade or privacy. But even a holiday weekend, the tent sites were not all full when I went. A bit of a trek to the restroom (but also made the tent site area quieter from the rest of the campground, which is quite large). Has a small swimming area, but was pretty overgrown and not that enticing while I was there. This makes a pretty good camping base to explore Providence Canyon and the even closer George T. Bagby State Park and Kolomoki Mounds. Also, exceptional sunsets from the tent sites as they face west!

Staying 3 nights, very secluded lots of trails if you like hiking. Very nice people. I’m tent camping so probably a little different for RV’s
TravelerCotton Hill campground was a great pick. Staff-Helpful Location-Ft Gaines, GA Site-97/98 nicely shaded with lake access 20 steps away. Amenities-clean bathrooms, water, electric close by. Site-tent site clean and included bench, prep table, fire ring, park grill, and hooked post to hang food, trash from. Wildlife-deer every morning, bald eagles, kingfishers, huge white and grey herons, alligator.
Recommendations-bring or buy live bait for fishing..none close by. Tent site is crushed/compacted fine gravel and is difficult to get pegs into..bring a hammer and metal pegs. Would definitely come again.

We called ahead to reserve tent sites and ensure they had electric and water on every site. Upon arrival, we were told all sites to the right edge (water side) and right of the road were tent sites. However, the first half of this row has electric for rv’s only. Moving down the row, the sites had no electric or water hookups. The last sites were in complete sun and next to a boat ramp. All the sites had trash on the ground and none had picnic tables. The showers were just curtained off from the bathroom with no privacy, hook or bench. The staff was unwilling to help and we left without staying.
GuideLoop A space 3 tent camped right next to the water. All sites have w/e, bathrooms were not the best. Dirty, broken or difficult to use flushers, no paper towels. Campsites and grounds were good. Clean, organized and equipped. Grass was long and damp so we camped on gravel. The long grass had many many tiny bugs and mosquitoes.

We tent camped in February 2019 on site 47 right on Lake Eufaula! Bathhouse was clean. Most sites are either on the lake or have a view of the lake. Bring your fishing poles and boats, lots of activity on the water! We want to try sites 49, 50, 51, 60, 61, 92, 122...these are on our list as the best sites. We will be back!
ScoutWe started off at the rv / tent campground. Not too private but very clean. We moved to tent only site when one was available. Peaceful, clean facilities, hot showers and a firepit. Poles for hammocks too. Helpful staff and firewood on site to purchase 5$

I camped at this park as a child and will always remember hearing the animals from the zoo in the middle of the night. The lions roaring and the monkeys howling isn't something that many campgrounds can offer. There is plenty to do at the park including fishing, boating, bmx and mountain biking, frisbee golf, a splash park, great playgrounds, and of course you must walk through the zoo. There are currently 44 RV sites, 18 tent sites, and several camper/cabins.

We love this park. There are only a few sites, so even if everything is booked there is not a crowded feeling. The pads are gravel, so if you are tent camping, it can be difficult to get stakes in. The sites are well placed and easy to get into; both the pull through and back in sites. The staff drives through the grounds regularly to check on things and are very pleasant and helpful. The bath house and showers are clean and well maintained. There are several easy hiking trails and the Native American mounds and museum add some interesting history to any camping trip.

My kids and I absolutely loved it here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We did tent “glamping” so we had electric, water and wifi nearby but still enjoyed our time away from concrete buildings. We had a fire pit, picnic table, and parking to ourselves. The pool came in clutch since it is very humid and hot over there. It was nice, CLEAN and refreshing. My kids are not too big so we had enough space to play backyard games not sure there is enough grassy area for older kids or adults. You can walk around and down to the pond and check out the surroundings for added entertainment. The bathrooms and showers were tidy and clean. I really did love it here and based on my experience here I will be looking at other KOA Journeys to visit. My experience is based on a tent site and I’m fairly new to camping. Hope this helps!
GuideThis beautiful, and historic Park is one I'd like to revisit. My husband and I spent only one night there, as a pit stop along a long drive between South Florida and Texas.
We were so impressed with the beautiful nature around us. Admittedly, we didn't have time to go into the caverns this trip, and therefore need to go back when we can. We did get to hike around the grounds a bit, and enjoyed every minute of it.
We chose a tent site, which required a very short hike from our car. This is the first time we had done that, and although the city side of us may worry around our car and it's contents, it sure made us feel more in the woods than we were. It was quiet and beautiful, having a campfire surrounded by nothing but sky-high trees.
They did experience damage from Hurricane Michael, but I plan on revisiting once things are repaired!
LegendSmall, well maintained park and sites, with 30/50 amp and water hook ups. A pleasant surprise when we arrived, after miles of rural driving! GPS took us the correct way, but seemed we were lost! Staff greeted us at entrance, gave us a map and explained how to get to our site. It was raining, and our site was back-in and downhill, mostly level with gravel, a picnic table, has a fire-ring with grill grate. Bathhouse is clean and impressed how the trash area and dump station were placed away from campers. The dock/pier, and boat ramp, are at the back part of the campground, The amenities are nice and there is outdoor cleaning sink behind the bathhouse, sitting area overlooking the river, the fish cleaning station, fire pit area, trails, and canoe/kayak drying area. 3 concrete sites, as well as tent sites. Lots of spacing between most of the sites, some are waterfront. Wildlife is plentiful and the trails are a great way to enjoy it all! We will come back! And it’s only $20 a night!
LegendThese sites are really for RVs of every size and are truly all about the lake. Either for fishing or for a nice relaxing evening enjoying the sunsets. There are 3 loops with both restroom/shower/laundry facilities on the B loop and for some reason, it seemed that everyone really wanted to drive from the other loops to the facilities in the back which had knobs for the showers instead of short timed buttons. There are unfortunately only 2 dedicated tent sites which are off to the side a nice distance from the RV loops, but it's right by the boat ramp which also has a nice bright streetlamp so be prepared for people coming and going early and/or arriving late in the evening along with the ever present light. We camping in our tent at site 59 which is one of the few sites which has a nice stretch of open grass and tree coverage along with the either leveled concrete pad or gravel "driveway" surfaces at the sites. Each site had a nice grill, fire ring, picnic table, prep table and lantern/bag hook. We thankfully had the trees to partially obscure the streetlamp, but thankfully had brought eyemasks... If you're afraid of animals sneaking up on your tent at night, then this campground is definitely for you, as with all the extremely bright lights on all night long you won't have to worry about anything bothering you in the slightest... Overall, the camp host and the staff were incredibly nice and went out of their way to make sure we were in a nice spot for using our tent. Although there are some better sites on loops A and C because they are right on the water people tend to book those out for weekends way in advance.

This review is from an overnight(Harvest Host) point of view versus a destination campground. GPS brought us through Dothan, AL to the campground with no issues. Rosemount is a new campground and we decided to try our first Harvest Host overnighter at this CG as we had recently had our lithium battery setup installed and would have backup power if needed. We had called the day prior to see if they had a Harvest Host spot available and were told yes and the owner explained how it worked. We were asked to call about an hour out, which we did and were warmly greeted by the onsite campground manager upon arrival. They had one other RVer coming in so we were told to pick one of the remaining empty spots. We chose site 7 that had FHUs and 50 AMP service. A requirement of Harvest Host is to make a purchase, but since the campground doesn’t sell anything, they just charge$10 for the night and you can use all of the hookups. From looking at the website, the regular price is$40 for a RV site. The CG has 15 RV sites that have FHUs. This was a newer campground and a work in progress. Our site was fairly level and the utilities were to the rear. The CG was about half full with transient or permanent guests who were very friendly and quiet. The CG is in a country setting with plenty of space that included tent camping(there were none when we were there). There was a restroom/shower house/laundry(2 washers and dryers) facility. The facility was very clean. They also had a covered picnic area and an area with corn hole and horseshoes. There was also a small fenced dog area, but the CG has fields on two sides so we took our two pups there to run. They have WiFi but we did not use it. For the price of$10 this was a good overnighter.

Omussee Creek Park is tucked away on the central-eastern side of Alabama, just a (couple of) stone’s throws from the AL-GA state line, just due south of Columbia, right off the Chattahoochee River. While there’s not a lot in the way of attractions out in these parts, there is plenty of nature to discover, from covered hiking trails (do bring a machete!), splendid little canals and streams that eventually connect to the Chattahoochee as well as some pretty splendid bird watching from the Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher and American Goldfinch to the never boring Blue Jay.
Insider’s Tip? There is the famed Coheelee Creek Covered Bridge that apparently people come from all over to see (I’m not really quite sure why that is although it appears to be one of the singular covered bridges in the state). For a good spot to dine out at, I recommend Log Cabin Restaurant right across the AL-GA state line in nearby Blakely – they’ve got everything you could think of fried, as well as some things that shouldn’t be fried, but taste great regardless!
Last tip – if you’re out to kayak or canoe, get out either early or late, as the current during the middle of the day can be quite strong. From a camping standpoint, brace yourself for bringing everything with you that you’ll need. The campgrounds are about 15 acres of pretty flat land with some decent brush around it, complete with typical 30/50 amp electrical, water and sewage hookups. There’s only 3 camping sites for tents all have fire pits with picnic tables. On-site, there’s a canoe launch ramp, covered picnic shelter, fishing hole and several walking trails to choose from.
Happy Camping!

This little gem is tucked away on the central-eastern side of Alabama, just a 20 or so minute drive from the AL-GA state line, just due south of Columbia, right off the Omusee Creek. Over in these parts you’ll find some solid nature to interact with, trails to hike and of course, all the fun and enjoyment you’d expect being this close to the water.
Let me share a bit about Family Time Campground: there’s a sweet little solar-heated pool that’s perfect for a classic sundowner (and not so great for swimming laps!), plenty of shaded and grassy areas for RV and trailers (22 spots in all), spacious long level lots in a private gated community, filtered water and free rentals, newly finished covered pavilion with about a half dozen brand new picnic tables that has a brand new BBQ, children’s playground, community firepit for s’mores and a fully functioning laundry facility. This RV site has full electrical, water and sewage hook-ups, free WiFi and there’s even a fully-stocked kitchen you can access while on site. For those that aren’t hauling their living room behind them, this property also has (3) bunk houses, (3) cabins, (4) camp rentals and even stationary RV’s for rent.
Insider’s Tip? On Sunday’s this campground offers up "all-you-can eat" pancake breakfast for $4 – you can’t beat this! Of course, there is the famed Coheelee Creek Covered Bridge that apparently people come from all over to see. For a good spot to dine out at, I recommend Log Cabin Restaurant right across the AL-GA state line in nearby Blakely – they’ve got everything you could think of fried, as well as some things that shouldn’t be fried, but taste great regardless! Last tip – if you’re out to kayak or canoe, get out either early or late, as the current during the middle of the day can be quite strong.
Happy Camping!
ScoutI arrived after lunchtime and set up my tent. There were two tent spaces all the way at the other end from the RVs on the water. They were large had picnic table, grills and fire rings. The bathrooms were a nice little walk and the water and the showers were hot. Nice place to break in my new tent. Oh I took her through a heck of a wind and rain storm. On my found it said the winds were over 60 miles an hour. But my Core tent held up fine.
TravelerStayed here with my wife and two daughters. We enjoyed the cavern tours and the hiking, but we did not take advantage of their kayak rentals during this trip.

Ashley here with The Dyrt. The details are in the name. Plenty of space to park your RV or pitch a tent. BBQ provided. Check them out and come back here to leave your review.
LegendThis State Park is very unique and if you're in the area it definitely merits a stop. Especially if you've never need in a cave before. I really think you're find this park is worth the visit.
You get a nice guided tour through the caverns and it's not too strenuous. There are also a few nice hikes through the surrounding woodlands where you can get to see a good bit of the Florida environment.
The campgrounds are nicely separated out between tent and RV (which i feel like you hardly see anymore). The tent only sites aren't huge, but you really are nestled into you own little area with some good amount of underbrush separating out the sites, but they are setup so that you can walk between the sites for some reason. I assume it's in case you have friends and book up several sites....but if you don't know your neighbor...
You of course get your standard table and fire pit and the facilities are well maintained and were clean.
GuideStayed December 2019 for a long weekend. The sites are all very nice with fire ring, lantern pole, picnic table, small counter height table, and concrete pad for your camper or tents. Ample additional parking available. Bathrooms were well maintained. We stayed in the Oakwood loop. River Chase loop has the best playground. Staff were very friendly. Several dump stations as well as a dog park. Would like some more hiking trails.

Loved staying here! Takes a minute to get there, have to go down a red dirt road. It’s up next to water that has alligators you can see at night. Free campground, great place to fish, quiet & really pretty! Great place to get away from the world. We stayed in a tent during March. There were campers there but unsure of what they hooked up to.
GuideStayed here in one of the 3 tent only sites. Very peaceful and had bath house with shower right near sites. Pavilion also across from sites which was great when it poured rain on us. A little farther is a small spring which allows swimming the kids loved it on hot days to cool off. They also offer canoe and kayak rentals, and of course a tour of the caverns!

This campground was so accommodating!! The owners were extremely friendly and laid back. They up keep the property to be very nice and clean. The bathrooms are so nice and they even have little games to play around the campground for families and friends to pass the time like ring toss and horse shoes. I would stay here over any other campground in Georgia!

We've been road tripping for the past 7 days and have stayed at new campsites everyday but this one has definitely been our LEAST favorite. we stayed in a tent and luckily had quite a big site but then again we were the only people there last night so we kind of used land from another site. we had to deal with coyotes outside of our tent all night whining and rustling the leaves. the lake is anything but one, it looks like it's the designated dump station for the RV. I recommend loads of bug spray and to keep an eye open for snakes. i feel as though the photos on their site are extremely misleading. the bathrooms aren't bad, they're actually pretty nice. i didn't have good cell service, i mainly stayed between 1-2 bars. the outlets don't hold plugs all that well and we bought fans in the middle of the night for the heat. there are plenty of cockroaches around the camp sites so i say look out for that. it's not necessarily a HORRIBLE place it's just not worth the 30 something dollars it cost. also, this is a personal opinion, but the town and the campground in general just give off bad vibes. just be careful.
