Camp Cats

This is a lovely and affordable campground near Montgomery. While there, we enjoyed boating on the river. We used the boat launch at the campground, which was steep(!). There was quite a lot of parking for boat trailers at the ramp. Our site was quite large, and there was plenty of room between sites which we really like. Our site didn't have sewage, though, and the laundry room was locked and looked rough. The bathrooms were also in rough shape. Still, the beauty of the place and access to the water will bring us back.

We stay here whenever we’ve in Montgomery. It’s always beautiful, and peaceful and clean. Lots of trails in the campground. Surprisingly the city and sights are within half an hour drive.

Loved the water and the shore birds. Bath house locations, supplies, and cleanliness were acceptable. Gate staff particularly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

Camped on both sides. I perfer the catoma side The gravel side has ANTS. They were in the camper within an hour. They said to put flour or comet all around the camper. I have a dog so I used flour. Helped but they were already in. The rest of the stay was nice n quiet. Beautiful sites.

This is a favorite place to camp, not for humans but for mosquitoes. I was camped in the Antioch loop which is I believe the older loop and there is obvious sign that this place needs some TLC. Restrooms are run down. Things were broken in the restrooms. The road in the campground and to the campground is very rough but I'm not worried about that since I'm never coming back here again.

This is a mixed review. The campground itself is in a nice quiet location with Beautiful sites along the lake. If you don't need the bathrooms then you'll love it. The bathrooms are a mess. We stayed in the Antioch loop. Although the toilets are clean, most of the doors don't lock and are coming off their hinges. The showers are even worse- they need to be redone. The wood look laminate isn't waterproof and is coming apart, some barely holding onto to the connectors. The tiles on the floors are broken, the faucets leak and the metal is rusting. Some of the sink faucets work, some aren't connected anymore and the entire handle moves, and some don't work at all. Its sad to see bathrooms in such poor condition for a campground that otherwise looks nice.

Stayed here a few years ago and it’s a pretty amazing place. Lots of woods and plenty of things to do in the area. Heading back to camp for a few days in a week. Huge campsites and nice pads.

Stayed in site 101 in the Anti loop and was a perfect spot to tent camp. Had great view of the water. The place was quiet and clean. Showers available too. Would stay here again

Beautiful campground. We made our reservation last minute to get some rest. Arrived safely at 7:30 Found our site pretty easily. Large back in site with plenty of room. Everything was perfect. Great bathroom and shower . It appeared to be very clean. I wish we had more time to explore all the area. I was especially in love with the Spanish Moss hanging from the trees. You can't get anymore southern them having moss hanging from live oak trees. Can't wait to come back and stay longer!!

If you love the woods, this place is great! Bring ant spray & granulated ant repellent/killer though. It is a must! We woke up to tens of thousands of ants all over our camper. They come up via power cords, hose, jacks, whatever touches the ground. The sweet ants are God awful here!

Pretty nice upper campground known as Catoma Loop. Lower loop needs a facelift in a bad way. Playgrounds are nice but no a/c in the bathhouse makes it miserable to shower.

Sites are spacious with cement pads , extra large picnic tables, nice grills , fire pits also have grates to cook on, full hook-ups, lots of trails. The park was quiet and well manicured.

We stayed on the older loop, and the spots on the lake had an amazing view of the water. Would have given them 5 stars, but the bath house on the old loop is in severe need of a refresh, and there are no hiking trails. The laundry room on the old loop was completely out of commission, so we had to drive to the new loop to do laundry. Otherwise, it's a beautiful simple park.

Beautiful park and just about every site is long enough for a 45 foot motorhome towing!. Deep in the forest…huge trees, large sites. I would have given it 4 stars, but they need more exit and directional signs. We ended up having to drop our tow-car due to a wrong turn.

We stayed at the older section, Antioch, in site 105 for 10 days starting April 28, 2023. We always love COE campgrounds, because they are usually well designed & well maintained. It is a lovely location along the river with large shade trees on the Antioch side. We were surprised by the rundown condition on the Antioch side. The roads are crumbling, and the bathhouse was atrocious. Only 1 of 3 toilets worked on the men’s side during our stay. We spoke with the host on our second day. Her response was, “I’ll tell them.” There was dried feces on the toilet rim that remained throughout our stay. On the women’s side there was a toilet out of order, and water from it seeped over into the handicapped stall in front of that toilet. It was always wet - gross. One of the toilets also had feces hardened on the inside bowl…not removed until day 9 of our stay. Also, there was a heavy urine smell…possibly from someone squatting over the toilet. Nasty. On both sides, only 1 of 2 light fixtures on the shower side worked. The shower heads are worn out, and spray water in all directions other than where they are supposed to. It made it difficult to shower properly. Melted soap remained in the soap tray 10 days - never cleaned. Soap scum on the shower stall walls would indicate they haven’t been cleaned in months. Every inside corner and many of the grout joints in the tile were covered in black mold - again indicating no regular cleaning. The trash was emptied and paper towels were refilled. The laundry facility was locked the entire time with no note indicating why. There weren’t many campers there except for one Sat night. We were surrounded by 3 RVs with more than a dozen people and 6 dogs. They obviously traveled together. They stayed up until 2:15 am with loud drinking. Dogs were fighting & barking - dogs were off leash, came & pooped in our site. In this day of explosive violence we were afraid to say anything to them after 10pm. We’d misplaced the camp host phone number. We have Verizon phone service. 1 bar. We could make phone calls, but not stream videos. Catoma side is much nicer and more like what we’re accustomed to at a COE campground. They had an old bath house, but it was cleaner. It’s not as shady, but better roads and pads.
