Overall enjoyable stay!

We stayed here while visiting my family in Kentucky. Our space backed up to a beautiful view of the Mississippi River. The kids loved the big field and playground. My husband loved this place for the history. The road to get there, coming from Fulton, was a bit stressful. Not a whole lot of space. The space became narrower on the little bridges so we had to drive with caution. Also, there were sometimes big tractors which made it hard to share the road. The laundry center had one good working dryer. We were told this, but I was hoping to get all of our clothes washed before hitting the road. I had to travel back with wet clothes because I ran out of time and quarters. The left dryer doesn’t dry very well. Aside from that, our stay was nice. The camp hosts were very helpful and nice. The campground was nice. The day we left, there was a marathon race event happening. Quite a thing to wake up to at 6:30 am. We plan on going back to sightsee, but we’re going to stay somewhere else because of road was just too stressful to be hauling our 36 ft TT on. If you go, be sure to check out the convenience store Beards and Roses - hands down best pizza! Must try! The garlic cheese bread is amazing too! Made from scratch! The owners are awesome, too!

Camping in Nature

First things first, don’t follow the GPS! It will take you to the recreation area and you will have to turn around. The campground can’t be seen from the main road. Take side road on left when you see the welcome to Alabama sign on the right. If you are coming from the other direction, you’ll pass the recreation area before you get to the road to turn on. Camping was great! We had a pull through. It was quiet. Bring the mosquito spray, you’ll need it!! Spaces are nice. Be sure to check out the mirror lake within the campground. There are wooded walking docks to walk on. Really pretty! Caught a chicken hawk eating. No issues. Staff is nice. Campground does get a little flooded when it rains, but it didn’t impact our space. Stayed twice within the month. Frogs were loud the first time, second time it was peaceful.

First to Review
Fun time!

We had a great time at Ahoy RV Resort! We rode bikes around the campground and outside of the campground on the surrounding dirt roads. They have volleyball, basketball and tennis courts, and tetherball. If you don’t have a volleyball or basketball, they have some equipment at the store that appears like you can borrow or rent. The kids had fun at the pool. Our neighbors were great! The staff was great. We didn’t do much in terms of “community” activities but they did have some evening stuff going on. There was a beautiful fog that came early morning. All around good time. Would return again. Also, there’s a fun little dog park!

Enjoyed Our Stay

We stayed for the weekend. First thoughts were that it felt a bit cramped. We had an issue with the electrical that we couldn’t figure out, but one of the campground workers was very nice and tried to help us figure out the issue. We loved walking to the waterfront. My son enjoyed the basketball court. My kids loved the pool. It was quiet at night. The dog park consists of two fenced in areas which was nice because my dog gets bored quickly of the same area, so I alternated between the two. Overall it was a decent stay. The basic pull throughs do not have a fire pit, which sucked because it was chilly at night. The store was nice, as well. There is an entrance and an exit on opposite ends of the park - the exit is a bit tight and my husband was nervous to pull the camper that way. We noticed several people going out the entrance because it’s easier, just a heads up.

Friendly RV park

We came here to stay after evacuating from hurricane Sally. We stayed 8 days. It’s a nice rv park. The pool is great. The lazy river has a great current, the best I’ve experienced so far, RV campground wise. Due to Covid restrictions, there were limitations and not much going on. Outside of that, I’m sure this park is amazing when there aren’t restrictions in place. There were some full timers there and they were so nice and welcoming. The office staff and owner were very friendly to us, as well. The WiFi was very good! I was very thankful for that. Pros: Pool/Lazy River, WiFi, friendly campers and staff, “gated”, fire pit. Cons: no shade, no tubes for pool (bring your own), no 24/7 accessible bath house.

We recommend and will go back again for sure.

Great time!

We weren’t sure how much we’d like this campground as there is no pool or campground scheduled activities, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We did some paddle-boarding and walked trails. There is so much more we want to do, like play volleyball, mini golf, go kayaking, and ride bikes. It was quiet at quiet time, no problems. Nice area to explore and friendly campers. Lots of wildlife.. deer and we heard a coyote howl at night. Also, the tent campsites were nice - platforms, waterfront view, grill, and a little tree house. We look forward to returning!

It was alright!

Spent Labor Day weekend here and it was alright. We were moved from our reserved space due to an issue with a camper next to it, which was considerate on the campground’s behalf. The new space wasn’t good because it had a pole where our slide was, so we were moved again to a good spot. They were accommodating. We had issues with the breaker, though. Our camper kept tripping. Office didn’t have anyone to look at it. Had to go buy a 50 to 30 step down and had no issues after. The roads are really narrow, witnessed a camper hitting a parked car in a driveway. Also, our sewer connector kept popping off where it needed to be. Other than the pool, there was nothing else going on. No set activities. The pool closes at 9pm, which is an hour earlier than other places we’ve been. Also, you have to have a wristband to use the pool and if it breaks or you lose it, it’s a $20 fee which is excessive for a plastic band. My son went down the slide once and the wristband broke. Per the lazy river, it’s really narrow, and people clog it up by hanging out on the edges. Anyway, this was our experience. It’s not our favorite campground. Maybe we’ll go back, maybe not. Also, heads up, some roads are uneven and campers scrape the ground. 😬

We love this campground!

Great atmosphere! Activities all weekend for all ages! The pool is awesome! Also has a big hot tub. The park is clean. There’s a dog park and they have a few small tubs of treats for the pups. The pool has extra beach balls to play with. Great place! We look forward to going back again soon. This is a newer RV park and it’s still in development but it is currently fully functional.

Enjoyed so much we stayed an extra night!

We stayed at Jellystone this past weekend and ended up staying a third night (unplanned). We had a lot of fun. The kids loved all of the Saturday activities. Campsites have a fire pit, so we made s’mores. They have a store with everything we needed, which was really nice. The staff was great and accommodating. And bonus - you can earn Yogi points! The roads are gravel and it hurts the feet when walking barefoot..so make sure you wear your shoes!
