Wanee Lake Golf & RV Resort | Outdoor Adventure Retreats

Our GPS accurately brought us in from Montgomery, AL, to Wanee. This was our third time here, but the first time since the campground (CG) was bought by Outdoor Adventure Retreats. We had reserved a site in the new area that used to be the diving range. Check in was quick and we received a nice information package. We were then escorted to back-in site 41 with FHUs. As the new section had only been open for a month. We were told we’re probably the first to stay in this site. We did get some brown water when we first connected, but that cleared after running the water for a few minutes. The cement pad was plenty long enough for our 40’ 5th wheel, and there was plenty of gravel to park our F450. The utilities are centered on the pad, which was nice to be able to reach both sewer dumps. The water pressure was okay at about 40 psi. We got two bars on Verizon and a clear shot for Starlink. The CG has really good WiFi with a download speed of 52.2. We were here for a week to play golf, but due to cold weather we only got out a couple of times. Their golf packages with a cart are for a monthly stay, but the golf prices are still good and they offer a 10% military discount. Without golf, you can rent a golf cart for $20 per day. They have a bath house with laundry ($2 to wash and $2 to dry) with plans to expand. The old section still has the majority of the full-timers and transients. There’s a new fenced dog area. Not huge, but a decent size. Site 41 doesn’t have any close neighbors and is probably one of the best sites in the CG. You are near the first tee, and we enjoyed watching golfers tee off. There should be enough trees to stop a sliced ball from hitting your rig. We noticed that the old area’s permanent or transient residents’ sites were neat and orderly. The last two times we stayed here, that was not the case. Hopefully, this is new management’s doing, and they keep that practice going.

Our RV GPS and WAZE took us right to the campground(CG). There’s plenty of space to park in front of the clubhouse where you check-in. We were then escorted to pull through site 6 with FHUs for our six-day stay. Our daily fee of$46 consisted of discounts from Passport America at 50% off for 3 days and then a 10% Good Sam discount. The CG had a mixture of permanent, seasonal, transient, and short-termers like us. We stayed here last year at about the same time in early January and really enjoyed ourselves, so we decided to stay longer. Water pressure is around 60 psi here, and we got quite a few OTA channels. There are a few trees in the CG, but we were able to get a good shot for our Starlink. The CG WiFi was okay but glad we had our Starlink. We got two bars on Verizon. The sites are adequately spaced with 6 being one of the better sites. The sites are gravel with a picnic table, standup bbq(in most sites, including ours), and a fire pit. We did not have a fire pit, but we could have fetched one out of an empty site. There’s a pool and laundry attached to the clubhouse. This is a no-frills campground, but there are plans to take out the driving range and put in upgraded RV sites. The clubhouse’s Fire Ant Grill has decent food. We tried their basic cheeseburger and the green olive sauce burger that is based on an old Michigan A&W Root Beer recipe. Both were delicious. Groceries at Dollar General are cheaper than Piggly Wiggly. Katz Veterinary is a good place for basic vet needs. We enjoyed our stay and had fun playing their 9-hole course.
