Pruett's Lakeside Campground
Overview
Overview
Pruett's Lakeside Campground in Centre, Alabama delivers a quintessential southern waterfront RV experience along the shores of major regional impoundments. Positioned within Cherokee County, this property leverages its lakeside setting to attract anglers, boaters, and travelers seeking slow-paced water views. The identity of this campground ties directly into the aquatic geography of northeast Alabama, offering a straightforward basecamp for anyone towing a trailer or driving a motorhome toward the water.
Location & Surroundings
Travelers rolling into this region via Alabama State Route 9 or U.S. Route 411 encounter a landscape defined by rolling foothills and broad river valleys. The local climate brings humid summers and mild winters, making year-round road trips entirely viable for prepared campers. Cherokee County sits framed by Lookout Mountain to the north and the Coosa River system, creating a scenic backdrop of mixed pine forests and expansive open water.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details remain unlisted beyond the waterfront implications of the name, visitors must plan accordingly before arrival. It is wise to directly contact management to verify utility configurations, such as 30-amp or 50-amp service, water pressure, and sewer hookups. Campers should also inquire about back-in versus pull-through site orientations, launch ramp availability, and dock access for watercraft.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Water recreation dominates the itinerary here, with Weiss Lake sitting right at the doorstep as a premier destination for crappie fishing and boating. Beyond the immediate shoreline, visitors can take a short drive north to explore the trails and geological formations atop Little River Canyon National Preserve. Local road-trippers also frequent the historic downtown shops and eateries scattered throughout Centre and nearby Gadsden.
Who This Park Is Best For
This location suits anglers, kayakers, and RV road-trippers who prioritize proximity to the water over resort-style entertainment. If your travel style revolves around early morning boat launches, sunset views over the lake, and exploring northeast Alabama backroads, this Cherokee County stop serves as a practical and scenic choice for your itinerary.

Nice managers. Monthly campers are friendly. The grounds need to be cleaned up. The monthly rates are very reasonable, clean laundry room I haven't seen the shower house but im sure it is clean. I've been here 4 months now and the longer your here well, I guess it kinds grows on you.

From the pictures that I can see attributed to what they are calling pruetts campground, it is most definitely not pruetts campground, this is what used to be the Alabama Queen. Pruetts is several miles up the road, or at least what used to be pruetts. Wish it still was.

Junior and his wife Elaine (I think that's her name) are amazing groundskeepers and their dog Patches is the cutest little dog I've ever seen. They keep the grounds clean and they are super friendly. The people in the grounds are friendly. The camp grounds is pet friendly. You can do extended stay for 395 a month.
