Operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, this destination is designed for travelers who prioritize nature, quiet environments, and simple living. It serves as a classic rustic retreat for those looking to unplug and enjoy the slow pace of life in rural Alabama, away from the noise and bustle of larger, commercialized campgrounds.
Location & Surroundings
Located in the heart of Forkland, Alabama, the park provides a scenic backdrop defined by mature trees and gentle river waters. The surrounding area is characterized by lush woodlands and quiet landscapes, making it an ideal spot for birdwatching and photography. Its position near the river makes it a primary destination for anglers and boaters who appreciate easy, direct access to the water while maintaining a peaceful base camp in a natural, forested setting.

Additionally, there are dedicated picnic areas and a boat ramp that serves as a central point for water-based activities, allowing guests to transition from their campsite to the river with total ease.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

Our best camping trip that wasn't to the Smoky's or the Beach! Nothing negative. The Wheelers were our hosts and they were exceptional. This area of Alabama is historical and full of natural beauty. No traffic! Private! Perfect! Wayne and Anita Lovell, McCalla Alabama.

Very pretty, well kept campground. Less crowded than the one in Demopolis, but not a far drive to town. Worth it for the seclusion. Water views are somewhat blocked by trees, but some have steps down to the water. Sites are paved. Bathrooms clean. I highly recommend this campground if visiting Demopolis.
