Rood Creek Park Camping
Beautiful, quiet camping by the water. There’s about 12-15 spots. We arrived on a Tuesday and spent 2 nights. No problem finding a great spot for our camper van to set up camp and enjoy the views. Very peaceful. Price is right too, its free!

Wasted potential
This campground has so much potential to be great. The volunteers were awesome and helpful. They checked on us multiple times during out stay. The grounds were poorly maintained. The gravel area in most sites were overtaken with grass and ants. The water line at our site leaked and the concrete slab was flooded. The road to the boat launch was closed due to a downed tree limb that looked to have been there for weeks. Laundry services had been removed.
On a positive note, deer were plentiful and a great bonus. Wife, infant son, and I left a day early as our tent and bedding had been infested with ants.
Verizon coverage was spotty. Data speeds were very slow if available at all.

Nice people but I would skip it!
The people are wonderful but the maintenance and facilities of this KOA are one star.
No AC in the restrooms. Grass up past our ankles (lawnmower was broken) It rained so, we woke up to having to pack up in the mud. We were placed in what appeared to be an overflow field that was full sun until after 5 pm.
Not worth $65
Kids did however really enjoy the pool.

Great campground, excellent senior price
It’s not often that I award a campground five stars, but this one is well deserving of those stars. We loved everything about this campground and were content to hang out at our site and hike the park, never wanting to leave. The campsites are well spaced so you don’t feel like you are right on top of your neighbors. We stayed in one of the full hook-up, 50-amp sites. The best thing is the price– only $28/night and just $14 for those holding a senior Interagency Park Pass which is great for a full hook-up site. Roads are easy enough to navigate by any size RV. All sites have a fire, picnic table, small wooden table and a lantern hook. Some sites are sloped and you might scrape the back of your RV. Small laundry which had one wash machine and one dryer. The restroom was clean and showers were free. The campground is not really close to anything- about 30-minutes from the town of Eufaula. About 5-10 minutes away is the Fort Gaines where there are a couple of restaurants, gas station, and small market. We were happy to just hang out at our campsites and enjoy the view. There is a small hiking trail that was a nice walk.

Beautiful campground, although my momma won't come back.
I've personally enjoyed camping here. But, My Momma, not so much.
My mother was walking away from the older restrooms, near the gate, walking down a one way road, where a vehicle aggressively passed her in the wrong direction coming from a hosts location. Was it the host? Or a guest of theirs? We don't know.
She felt, as they were passing her, against the one way, taken back, like they were going to hit her, and aggressively. Coming from ''The Brown's, From Vienna"*(or Smiths?) camphost site.
She made me aware.
The following evening as we were walking to the restrooms, the same people drove against the 'one-way traffic' from the camphost site. She pointed it out to me... and honestly, it looked like they flicked us off as they drove away.
This was a Mother's Day gift, for a girls weekend. Ruined by the campground hosts.

Step back in time
What a charming little place. Great showers houses, propane filling station, laundry on site and lots of tails to hike or ride ATV’s but my favorite part is the farm animals and the host. They are super sweet.

Just okay
The previous reviews are outdated and so is the campground. It is so important to review every stay so we are all up to date. Bathrooms were small and dirty. Only one bathroom/shower combo for women and one for men. If someone is using the bathroom, you need to wait. This place is okay in a pinch, but that’s it.
Phillip H.GuideFlorence Marina State Park Campground
Small but nice
Site 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!
