We stayed here for just about a week and a half. There campground itself is quiet. Despite there being people around us constantly, we never heard anyone. Our campsite was huge, and the kids had plenty of space to play around it. During our stay we say endless amounts of deer. Overall it was a nice stay.

I loved this place!! I could live there! Beautiful, lots of trees and shade, huge spaces, so very quiet, except some noise on Friday and Saturday nights, there was noise from the nearby raceway. Showers were very basic with really no way to keep from splashing water on your belongings.

We stayed at Gunter hill campground for three nights. Site number 12. Nice sites with full hookups. Plenty of room, nice roads to walk, ride bicycles. Quiet. Clean. We were in campfire 12. Only complaint is the boneheads parked here prior to us being here that threw their used rib and pork chop bones on the ground around the tree. Our small dog found them. Thankfully we were able to take them away from her before she could eat them. Some bones are okay but these type bones are known to splinter and aren’t good for small dogs. Throw your bones in the trash please.

Steep decline in the state of Gunter Hill campground from our previous year October visit. We stayed Friday through Monday. For our entire visit, the restrooms weren't cleaned or restocked. We had to supply hand soap and toilet paper. The garbage wasn't changed and someone had left an open dirty diaper in the trash. Mosquitoes galore!! Bring spray and bug zappers. We woke up in the middle of the night to very strong sewer gas odor after a rain in our campsite #49. This site shouldn't be rented due to the proximity to the traps/ drain unless they can vent the odor up and away. The bathrooms flooded after the rain. The year prior we had a great experience in the park. Better park management is needed.

Great campground. Catoma Loop is full hook ups with concrete pads. Antioch loop is more rustic with gravel pads and only electric and water. We stayed in Catoma Loop and saw no bad sites. All sites have nice wooded buffer areas between them that affords a bit of privacy. This campground is reasonably close to Montgomery and a great location to home out of for catching the numerous sights and historical places in Alabama's capitol.

Mixed results with this camp ground. Pros and cons: cheap and lots of available sites on the lake. Employees are amazing. But .... The sites are really overgrown so it's hard to see the lake, which is very turbid. This campground is a huge place but it's mostly empty. It has massive potholes. Site 117 is amazing. You will love the staired access directly to the river. BRING MOSQUITO EVERYTHING. Showers and restrooms were clean, spacious, locked and private. But .....the shower heads spray fine pelting wide mist just soaking everything and you don't get very clean. Playground facilities look nice and new. Nothing really else around unless you're fishing or going to the drag racing strip. Try the coffee at the Krispy Chicken .....you're welcome!

We stayed 10 days in site 130. It is next to the shower/bath facilities, which are new and clean! We suffered a lot of rain, but good drainage on our site. We enjoyed Saturday night auto racing, right across the street. Perfect spot for base camp to visit historic Selma and Montgomery.

My experience at this campground: I stayed at Antioch section. It looks pretty round down, but the bathrooms are fairly new. This is what the person at the gate told me. I did not check them out since I have a bathroom in my camper. The roads are terrible, and the grounds are not manicured or well kept. I would’ve not left a review if it wasn’t for what I experienced. I am highly allergic to poison ivy and I have never been to any campground or even a public park that had as much poison ivy as this camp ground. I looked everywhere I stepped, but it is Almost impossible to not step on it. I spent three nights, on the third night I started breaking out; by the time I got to my home from my 2 Hour drive I had poison ivy all over. If you are highly allergic to poison ivy, avoid this park. I did ride my bike several times to Katoma (the other section of the park) and that one looks much better, manicured and taken care of. Since the sites are concrete you do not have to worry about stepping all over the poison ivy to get inside of your camper, but I am not sure if that section also has it all around the woods and trails. I rode my bike in the streets of that section (did not go inside the camp sites to explore the surrounding area) be safe if you stay there!

We stayed at Gunter Hill Campground (first time at a COE park) for 5 nights and this is our 176th stop. Easy booking through the recreation.gov site, the last 5 miles on Old Selma Road with a large rig is “fun” but manageable and quickly into the park after obtaining site and car pass. On the Alabama River 25 minutes west of downtown Montgomery, a portion of the sites have full hook ups (sites 1-75), concrete pads (deep sites), nice distances between you and your neighbor and there is ample shade cover. Our initial feeling when walking through the park was “wow” given the cost. With the exception of an occasional loud power boat, very tranquil and hear many birds vs road noise, industry, trains, etc. Nicely maintained (did not use showers or bathrooms) but if you are looking for activities and amenities, this may not be the place for you but a very good stay for us. If you have dogs to walk, parts of the trail are closed but you could easily do 4+ miles by walking on the roads of the park as there is minimal traffic. All in all, would rate a 4.5. As of May 7, 2025, there were significant pot holes in front of site 58. Connectivity: Verizon (32.0 down/1.83 up); T-Mobile (362.0 down/0.68 up); WiFi (none); some local TV stations.

Camp grounds very nice Camping sites very clean We were on site 65 next to bath house. We were here 4 days and not once were the bathrooms cleaned. One toilet was completely stopped up with toilet paper and poo, one wouldn't flush, and pieces of toilet paper and towel paper everywhere. Showers were not cleaned either. That alone puts the first 2 ratings on camp grounds useless.

Nice and spacious and level sites for rvs. Could do with bridge repair on the one hiking trail there. The bathrooms do the job. Loved kayaking from the boat ramp. Does get a weird odor from time to time that disappears as quick as it comes.
