Magnolia Branch Wildlife Reserve, Atmore, AL

Beautiful place to stay and the tubing down the creek was enjoyable. Campsites are very spacious. The restrooms/shower house were very clean and air conditioned. The only downfall is the flies were horrible. I’ve never seen so many flies in my life. It was very hard to sit outside and enjoy the time because the flies were all over everything.

Beautiful scenery.  Spacious camping sites.  Good fishing.  Canoe rentals for great.  During the summer they have tubing.  They have a nice little freshwater Beach on the river.

Camped here for 3 weeks in March and cant say enough on how relaxing it was. Many lakes and some great hiking. The river has seasonal tubing that looked like it would be a blast once it warmed up. Great price per nite with extra large camp site's

Very nice place to hang out for quality nature time with the family and children. The entry fee was $5/person.
The employee was nice and courteous.
They have a really good spot to enjoy the creek. Small lakes and ponds for fishing. Big general trails for carts and bikes.
The playground was good for the kids. The restrooms were great. Very quiet and peaceful at night. Will definitely go again back.

Looks like a great place to bring  the family  on an RV trip ,nice play ground  for young  children, volleyball  court for the older  ones.float down the creek with the family. Walk the hiking trails which are well taken  care of .Have a great cookout.Nice clean picnic  area's all over the Reserve. Beautiful  lake,with a floating  Pavillion. All in all a nice quite place for old and young a like .There were a lot of older couples  with there RV's all through  the park area.large RV lots.

It was a nice, quiet, and peaceful one night stay. About 15 miles off the interstate. Well worth the short drive to enjoy the peacefulness.

There is a small fee to get in. I have an annual pass so I don't remember the price but it is very small, around $2-$4.
The campgrounds were very nice and in the trees. They had electric and water. A river went thru it and it had tubing. I also saw kayaks or canoes also but I don't know the cost. When I was there in September, they were closed.
They had several campgrounds spaced around the area  and a section for tents.
We didn't see any trails but the campground and road was good for walking or biking.

Very disappointed drove over and hour to tube. Since it was finally pretty weather and a good water level. Only to find out once when get there that they decided to stop to tubing on weekdays. But it is not posted anywhere to inform anyone of that change.

Very good park for camping, tubing, kayaking, swimming in the shallow creeks. Not for hiking. The place list hiking trails as an amenity but their are no hiking trails available. They claim walking on the roadways as hiking. They do offer horse stables but the only place to ride them is on the roads. Kind of steep prices to enter park. Overall, for a day of family outing, this park is a good place to take the small children to swim and have fun. I would suggest the park have more frequent emptying of trash around the creek areas, the garbage had been overflowed and was all over the ground at two locations. The employees were very friendly and helpful and I asked an overwhelming amount of questions. I appreciated all the help in maneuvering the park. Would be a great place to camp in spring and summer. They offer RV hookups, primivative camping, also water and eletric hookup camping. Looking forward to returning next summer. Really wish they would invest in hiking trails in the future.

Not the lazy paddle I was looking for.  This river reminds me of the bogue chitto in how shallow it is for most of the run within the park.  You can stand in most of the river and not be waist deep.  That makes for some swift currents and difficult paddling.  In most cases when it was too shallow and/or the current was too strong you can just walk it.  I almost made it from the beach to the bridge, but the *rapids wore me out and then the rain the thunder started.  I gave up and floated back down with the rest of the families.  This is definitely more of a floating than paddling situation.  The park itself is large with rv and primitive camping sites.  There are playgrounds and covered seating, plus a bathroom with showers and laundry.  They have tube rentals, you can't use your own.  Unlike the chitto, this river is clear of large trees or obstructions other than the limestone croppings.  It was $5 for the day use, and the staff was pleasant.

It's a nice place to camp this is are 2nd time spending Thanksgiving there  Quiet And peaceful

Great place for camping with trailers. Tent campsites are not level and way too close together. Very nice bathhouse. Bathroom building by each end. Nature trail is not a hiking trail, just a dirt road loop of 5 miles.

I love this place! I'd give it 5 stars if you were allowed to bring alcohol but other than that, I enjoy coming here. It's conveniently close to where we live.

I love Magnolia Branch. It has several lakes for fishing, kayaking or swimming. It’s also on a creek. It moves pretty good. They have kayaks and tubes for rent.  If you just want to lay on the beach it’s nice too. They have a nice big playground.  The kids love it.
It also has horse trails so bring the horses.  They even have a nice horse barn and you can primitive camp pretty close to it. Lots of places to ride bikes also.  Nice and clean bathhouses and restrooms.

Always enjoy the quiet natural atmosphere!! The place is pretty and family friendly.  A few years ago, we horse camped for 4 days And that was vet nice.  Great place!!
