It's a very quiet and peaceful place beautiful scenery but the roads coming in here are rough bumpy and can't describe it but saying that they are having road construction going on that's why it's so rough

Beautiful State Park located right on the Alabama River. My wife and I were able to camp here and put our Sea Doos in to travel up to the Sandbar restaurant in Selma AL that is also located right on the river. Terry the post attendant was very helpful on the phone and very accommodating - she should be training other state park attendants!

This was a beautiful campground. The lady, Leslie, in the office was amazing and kind. I enjoyed my conversations with her. The facilities were clean and in excellent condition. The wildlife was abundant.

This place is a hidden gem. We stayed in one of the cabins. They have very nice piers to fish off of. Small hiking trails and friendly staff! Everything was very clean a tidy. We will be back. Only thing I would recommend they need is a small kids playground

We have stayed here multiple times over the years. Love it everytime. My husband does a lot of fishing. This trip was extra amazing because the a/c and bedding seems to be new and we have never had such good sleep! So comfy in the little cabins! Always love a getaway here!
