Enjoy watching the barges go by from your waterfront campsite. A beautifully manicured and clean campground with full hookups, clean showers and a dump stations. Take a walk down the short trail while listening to birds and watching the squirrels, or cast your line out at the water’s edge for a fat bass. There is also a nice playground for the kids. At night it’s quiet except for the occasional owl, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Very nice campground with lots of space between sites. Most sites back up to the water. Right now, sites don't have sewer but they have a dump station. Very quiet area and very clean well kept facilities. People working there are nice and eager to help out. If you are not there to fish and or relax, there is not much else to do around the area. We enjoyed spending a couple of days here.

This is the cleanest campground that I have ever seen! Sites were nicely spaved apart. Watched tugboats on the Warrior River. Hosts were great!
