This is a beautiful, well kept campground. It is dog friendly, and had easy access to the Black Warrior river for fishing. The sites are clean and the area is so pretty.

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.
