What to do
**Fishing opportunities: Access prime bass fishing spots from Florence Marina State Park Campground, where boat rentals are available at reasonable rates. "The lake is gorgeous! Sites are well laid out but wide open to every one else. Not many that are very private," notes camper Shelly F.
**Hiking at Providence Canyon: Located just 10 minutes from Florence Marina, this geological formation resembles a miniature western canyon. "We stayed to go hiking over at Providence Canyon. It was a short ten minute drive. The staff and crew were all amazing," reports Joe R.
**Mountain biking trails: Chewacla State Park Campground offers trails for all skill levels. "Many of the sites back up into the woods for shade and a hint of privacy with plenty of space to setup outside. There are several mountain bike trails of varying difficulties," explains Arthur G.
What campers like
**Waterfront sites: R. Shaefer Heard Campground offers premium lakefront camping. "We had spot 96 and we tent camped. The spot was recommended in another review and it was wonderful. Right beside the water so the kids were able to play in the water most of the time," shares Justin W.
**Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept bathhouses. At Sprewell Bluff Park, "The bath house is clean, the sites are gravel and pretty much level. The river park area is nice, plenty of picnic tables and access to most of the walking trails," according to Carol G.
**Wildlife viewing: Observe local fauna in their natural habitats. "We were on site 213 and 214. Beautiful wooded site lots of space between sites in this loop. Very short walk to lake. Loop 1 sites are lake front and lake view but more close together than we like," reports Liz H. at Franklin D Roosevelt State Park.
What you should know
**Reservation policies: Some campgrounds require payment in full at booking. At Pine Mountain RV Resort, one camper notes, "Their new policy of full (non-refundable) payment is now required when you make your reservation. Unless you want to pay an up charge for your nightly rate."
**Site conditions vary widely: Level sites are not guaranteed at all locations. "Sites are pretty level and gravel. Concrete picnic table, fire ring and light pole with lots of room for our dogs. Bathroom facilities were very clean, with showers and laundry," explains a camper at Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground.
**Limited cell service: Connectivity can be spotty. "Cell service was extremely spotty so don't expect to get much in the way of cell or internet service here. Great place to camp and have lots of peace and quiet," advises a visitor to Florence Marina.
Tips for camping with families
**Playground access: Select sites near play areas for convenience. At Franklin D Roosevelt State Park, "We camped in campground 5 and from where our site was we could see the playground and also let our kids ride their bikes around the circle that the camp sites were on," recommends Joshua H.
**Swimming options: Sprewell Bluff Park offers safe river access. "We stayed during the 4th of July weekend, it wasn't crowded and was very peaceful. Fun trails, hiking and swimming! My favorite part was watching our kids and my husband jump off the large rock into the river," shares Renee D.
**Educational opportunities: Combine camping with history lessons. "My four kids and I had a blast at FDR state park. They have a lot of stuff to do there. We fished and swam, they also had a scavenger hunt that my kids loved doing," says Joshua H.
Tips from RVers
**Site selection strategy: At Pine Mountain RV Resort, "We stayed in site 185. While it was one of the more expensive sites in the park it was well worth it. The nice lady that answered the phone made the recommendation when I told her I'd like somewhere for my kids to run," advises Hunter K.
**Electrical challenges: Be prepared for potential issues. "30 amp circuit was not adequate. The breaker continually tripped while using small kitchen appliances," warns Brittany about Pine Mountain RV Resort.
**Gate closure policies: Some parks restrict nighttime access. At R. Shaefer Heard, "The gate is locked shut from 10 PM to 8 AM, no exceptions unless the elderly host personally deems your emergency worthy," cautions Denis P.
