Best Campgrounds near Tishomingo, OK

I stayed at Red Bay Acres RV Resort for a week while passing through northern Alabama, and overall, it’s one of those places that delivers exactly what it promises— a calm, no-frills base with just enough personality to make it memorable. The grounds are mostly flat, which makes parking and leveling easy, especially for larger rigs. There’s a light mix of trees across the property, so while it’s not heavily wooded, you’ll find a bit of shade if you plan your site right. The resort isn’t overly packed with amenities, but that kind of works in its favor. If you’re looking for a peaceful stopover rather than a full-on campground experience with rec halls and loud music, this is your spot. It’s quiet, clean, and the community vibe is friendly without being too close for comfort. The hookups worked flawlessly, and the Wi-Fi was surprisingly decent considering how remote the area feels. Red Bay itself is small but has a certain charm, especially if you’re into RV culture. The Tiffin Motorhomes factory is just a few minutes away— a great tour if you’ve never seen how those rigs come together. The Red Bay Museum also adds a nice local touch if you want a quick dose of history without the usual touristy feel. Grocery options are limited, so plan ahead if you're staying more than a couple days. Evenings were laid-back— just enough time to sit out, unwind, and do a bit of light reading or casual browsing. I tend to rotate in and out of quiet digital distractions during downtime, and lately, I’ve found platforms like megapari surprisingly effective for short, low-pressure play sessions. Just something to tap through while the sun drops behind the trees and the campground settles in for the night. If you’re rolling through Alabama and need a well-kept, simple place to recharge— Red Bay Acres does the job. Nothing fancy, but exactly what it needs to be.

Most camp sites are shaded with pull through sites full hook ups, well maintained and quiet.

Nice sites. May need to level your rig a bit in some sites but the outdoor areas are all very nice and well maintained. Every site has a large flat area with picnic table, fire ring and lamp pole at each. There are four loops and sites for everything from primitive walk in tents to full 50 amp hookups for RVs. I got 2 bars on Verizon and up to 200Mbs with starlink but I was there in the Spring before the trees fully leaved out. Probably poor starlink in most sights when the leaves are in.

We stayed at site 71 and it was just an amazing site. It's got the benefit of being the last site on the walk up trail do you get a lot of space to play around! Bathrooms were very clean and the solar showers rocked! Just an amazing visit all around!

We grabbed sites 52 and 53, for two families! Perfect size and perfect spot right on the water- in cove like area of the lake. The sites are spread out a decent amount. There is a fire pit and grill, for charcoal grilling. There is a wooded area next to these two sites where you can go for a nice little walk. There are bathrooms, with a sink and toilets, cleaned daily, as well as showers. Tons of space for grass games and kids to run free.

Overall, I was very well pleased with the whole Park and especially the people. Apparently the management of the RV Park has been recently re-organized. The red rose River Rv Park is now Ardmore Lakes RV resort. The RV service area is still separate with the old version of the name. I was very interested in having some work done on my fifth wheel so I called them about that in advance. I arranged to stay four days and have five solar panels mounted on my RV. That worked out very well. I ended up staying another full week. I have to say the expenses were well worth it, but topped out my budget for the month. Seven nights was $350 even though in December about all of the amenities were shut down. They do have a storm shelter, just in case.

Roads and Pads were perfectly paved and level. Safe atmosphere with gated access. Highly recommend.

Nice family campground close to ‘Little Niagara Falls’ where the kiddos can play in the Creek and falls. We went on weekend and it was very busy. No camp host but the NPS rangers were very active and responsive. No alcohol at this park. Within driving distance to lake nearby. Several camping areas closed during September within the Chickasaw National Recreation Area. Overall fun with lots of young families enjoying the outdoors.

bathrooms was very clean and wasn’t all hot and mucky was nice and cool in there. Very clean and love that it’s dog friendly. I suggest anyone to come with your friends and family have a nice day cooking, kicking back and playing some games

Fun for whole family even our dogs enjoyable very peaceful and lots of wildlife

Can’t beat this site for $29/night. The sites where we were at are a bit close together. It definitely would have been better to be further on the peninsula or at Cedar Cove or Elephant Rock But we were just happy there was a last-minute cancellation on their website allowing us to be here otherwise it was all booked up for the weekend (I just kept refreshing the booking page).

Bathrooms good. Access the water was close. Lake Murray is one of the more clear lakes in Oklahoma.

The golf course, which was beautiful & close, has super twilight hours (after 6pm) which made it very affordable $16pp w/cart.

Great visit. Will be back!

Sites arent all packed together so you get a little privacy compared to some other places ive stayed. Fairly close to the boat ramp

The coordinates bring you to what looks like a driveway that has signs for no trespassing and beware of dogs. After looking at the map, it looks like that’s the only way to get back there, so I’m assuming the homeowner who shares that road put those signs to keep people away.

This was my first stop on a 4,000-mile trip from NW Arkansas to California and back. I met my brother and his wife who live just north of Fort Worth and spent two nights cooking and laughing around the campfire. The perfect start to an adventure.

The weather was cool and so not many bugs. Since this was a water-facing spot, I would consider the weather when booking. Great hikes. Don't forget to visit the tower while you're there.
