This is a great place to stay. There are fishing & boating areas. Otherwise you can just relax and enjoy the views. Sites are nice and shady with water & electric. There is a dump site near the entrance.

So, this place was a nice surprise. Arrived here and there was a nice old volunteer couple at the front entrance. Wife at the window, husband killing bees (which was awful). They asked if I'd like a nicer site, and I said yes. So, they gave me one by the water with a deck, 13. This backs up to the boat ramp. Which would be a problem in the main season, but we were only here 2 days and there were not many boats this time of year. Would not want this site in season. Actually, would not want to be here in season because boaters equal noise and drunkenness. But for us it was very quiet. Restrooms were surprisingly clean. And I mean clean all the way up. Normally in a CG they only clean-up to 5 ft high. But the ceiling was clean. No spider webs, no dirty windows, no dead bugs in the light covers. The restroom building is sinking and there are stress fractures in the walls and tiles. Some tiles have broken and fallen off. Which is a safety hazard. Showers have no doors, only curtains. But they get hot and have good pressure. The laundry room is permanently closed. Fortunately, we just did laundry but still disappointing. Drinking fountains don't work. There is a nice playground next to the bathroom. We were only here 2 days as a stopover on our way west. I would never go out into town, the only things out there are misinformation, poverty, despair and gun stores. Lots of houses with extremist flags, yards filled with derelict vehicles, old furniture and broken appliances. It's ok for an overnight but that is about it. When you turn off the highway onto the road leading to the park be very careful. There is a very steep hill with large potholes at the bottom. We camped at Jennings Ferry Campground in a Fifth Wheel.

We absolutely love this park what a great experience. The staff was over and above the top. Very friendly people, it was very cold. And they brought us some firewood, very much appreciated., the bathrooms were very clean and while maintained and nice hot showers.

Beautiful campground with nice large sites, especially the back-in sites by the water. Great for big rigs that are towing! We were there in early January, it was cold and a little rainy but still worth the stay. There were several other campers there too, even with the cold. We have Starlink and the reception wasn't too good because of all the trees but it helped with internet and streaming. You can get a few TV stations with your antenna, better than nothing. Camp host was very friendly! We'll be back😁

This was a cute place to spend the night on our road trip! It was easy to level our camper. The restrooms were clean and had hot showers, and they weren’t crowded. The camp host was so sweet and even guided us to our campsite on her bike!

This is a Corps of Engineers campground. With a federal Access or Senior pass, camping is half price. And who doesn't love that! I stayed during the winter. Plenty of quiet and solitude. Several long pull-thru sites. Back-in sites are long as well. All sites have plenty of space in between so you don't have to hear your neighbors flushing their toilet at 2am. The bathhouse was clean, private, and the water was very warm. The campground itself was very clean with minimal trash and cigarette butts on the ground. Sites have 50 amp electric and water. No sewer but the dump station is handy and extremely clean. The host was helpful and professional. A very nice man. The campground's road came up quickly. My GPS said I had to drive another mile, so be on the lookout. The correct road is well marked with a sign for the campground. If I ever make it back to Alabama, Jennings Ferry is at the top of my list.

Great little Corps of Engineers camper site on the Black Warrior River

The spaces are large and clean. We had a fire ring, grill, and picnic table at our site. We stayed in site 17. The cell service with Verizon was very good with two to three bars. The only drawback, if you call it that, is that there is no sewage.

The sites were spacious and well kept. Bathhouse was clean with hot showers. Good place for fishing and boating. Our site as well as many others had beautiful views of sunsets.
