ScoutVery clean and very quite forest with flat level sites
TravelerLarge sites, Bathhouses, Laundry Room, Dump Station and Trash Dumpsters
ScoutLakepoint Campground is an absolute treasure! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, well-maintained, and peaceful everything was. The campsites are spacious and thoughtfully laid out, providing just the right amount of privacy while still feeling connected to the natural surroundings.
The lake views are breathtaking—perfect for early morning coffee or a sunset stroll. We enjoyed fishing, biking, and just soaking in the beauty of the area. The trails are well-marked and offer a great variety for all skill levels. Plus, the wildlife sightings were a real treat—deer, birds, and even a curious raccoon or two!
Restrooms and showers were clean and well-stocked, which is always a huge plus.
Highly recommend to anyone who loves the outdoors!
ScoutGreat place well kept.
TravelerThis was a beautiful and quiet spot to camp. The most awesome part was the price, free! There is a time limit, you can only camp for 14 days out of 30 unless you've contacted the Parks department and gotten permission for a longer stay before you arrive. We came in on a Tuesday and there was plenty of spaces available.
The park does have a number of local "regulars" who come out to enjoy the park on the weekends and some as part of their "monthly rotation" for camper living, they were nice folks. We stayed for our 2 weeks and it seemed that Thursdays were the busiest day as people were traveling through and ended up "overflowing" from the Florence Marina Campground that is just 5 min up the road.
There is no water or power so it's definitely a "primitive camp" area and there is one permanent outhouse which they refill toilet paper in each Friday when they also pick up the trash from the camp trash cans.
We rented a JohnBoat, aka Dingy for the WestCoasters, for $35 for 4 hours from Florence Marina and so had use of their showers on that day. Eufaula has a few laundromats so we did our laundry there to get in and out efficiently. Next time we stay here I'll probably choose a laundry/shower day and rent a paid site from Florence for that day but not move my tent and just go use their shower and laundry facility (laundry does have a small cost per load). I also got ice and firewood a couple of times from Florence when I needed a restock and didn't want to go far.
GuideThe camp sites are so close together which wasn’t good. Lots of people and no one respected others sites. At all hours they was walking through other peoples camping spots. There was about a dozen kids ages 5-10 that ran around til 10pm and was hiding in the bathrooms and showers being loud and making it a game. No parents in sight. So I didn’t get to shower til they finally stopped. The hosts are so sweet though and even showed us where the alligators are. Didn’t see any but it was cold. Greet laundry for a dollar!
LegendWe stayed to go hiking over at Providence Canyon. It was a short ten minute drive. The staff and crew were all amazing, and sites easy with large pull thru access. Cell service spotty, but it’s camping. Amazing stay!
GuideFirst time I came here, I was about 12 years old. I returned when I bought my first camper at 34 years old and wanted to test it out for the first time. 3rd time, I brought my wife to show this amazing place. Great camping spots with lots of trees and a creek running through. Many gorgeous hiking trails, several starting from the camping area. The visitor center has a real cool shop and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Will certainly return again.
GuideOlder facilities but the views make up for it. Water and power year round even in winter. Some spots are a little closer than others but most have woods in between so they are somewhat private. The lake is down right now because they are repairing the dam so it was fun to walk along the banks.
