"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."
"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."
"The campground was easy to find, located right off US-231. We parked at the office to check in and were escorted to pull-through site 16 with full hookups."

GuideSite 22 full hookup. Small campground with nothing around in terms of town or business. Bathhouses were very well kept. Laundry was $1! Went to Providence Canyon SP. Very interesting hikes and sites. Watch those log trucks they move!
GuideBlue Springs State Park Alabama
Had a great time at this off the beaten path State Park. Not many campsites but great for our Go. The lower loop (Sites 19-23) are right next to the Choctawatchee River and may be susceptible to flooding in the rainy season. Although it’s only about 30 feet wide. But there is a big floodplain. April through Labor Day are high season ( with mosquitoes)! We were in site 22, level pad with gravel. Full electric and water hookups. Big draw is the dark skies! The spring has been enclosed by cement walls and is jammed on the weekends. We got in before most people and had most of the campground to ourselves. We will go back!
LegendThe campground was easy to find, located right off US-231. We parked at the office to check in and were escorted to pull-through site 16 with full hookups. A couple of turns required attention, and entry into the site was a bit tight, but the maneuver was manageable with our setup. This is an older campground with mature trees throughout, so satellite service could be challenging depending on site location. We chose not to deploy Starlink since T-Mobile Home Internet performed well. Cell service showed 3 bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile. Campground Wi-Fi tested at a respectable 40.1 Mbps download, which was sufficient for most online activities, though our T-Mobile Home Internet delivered faster speeds at 85.3 Mbps download. Some road and train noise was noticeable during our stay. Utilities were conveniently positioned near the middle of the long pad, and water pressure was solid at around 60 psi. The property features a large dog park and a pleasant pond with a walking path. The 1962 Nuclear Bomb Shelter, now used as a storm shelter, was an interesting feature worth checking out. Overall, this was a nice KOA stay, and we would return.
TravelerStayed here for 3 days to go visit Providence canyon which was a 15-minute drive down the road. Sites were close together, no playground in the campsite. Staff was amazing and helpful.
RangerThe 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!
TravelerWe camped here recently as a large family group. While our camping space could barely be called that, the park was quite nice. It was clean and well maintained, the bath house was clean, and there was lots of room for the grandkids to play and ride bikes. The springs area was shady, and the springs themselves were awesome (if you can stand the verrry cold water). The customer service was great.
LegendFHU, paved and level sights, clean and updated bathhouse and clean pool, playground, dogpark, koi pond, horseshoes, cute general store with necessities and souvenirs, propane refill and firewood! Has a quaint pond, with a bridge, and displays colorful lights at night. The Owner, Lori, showed us to our spot, and made sure we had everything we needed and gave us info on local shops and parks. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. We have been to this KOA 3 times now, and can’t wait to go back!
RangerSweet on and off 231 all paved pull through sites. Catch and release pond, camp store, propane, showers, laundry, close to restaurants. Everyone is escorted to their site by the wonderful owner and her staff.
