35 was a nice level site with plenty of room and access to the river. Friend was able to dock their boat right at the site.

What a nice campground, beautiful sites, most on the water, 2 nice overlooks to enjoy. Park hosts are constantly cleaning up the park and the showers had upgraded fixtures and were very clean. The best coe park we stayed at so far in Alabama. Cell signal was fair.
Judy Whitner
The hosts are fantastic and very friendly and helpful. The grounds are clean. Bathroom is clean. Couldn't ask for a better place to camp except for full-time campers. The washers and dryers should work. It is a very inconvenience for that not to work. That was very disappointing and aggravating

What a great CG. Super friendly people. Level concrete pads for all vehicle types. Water & power even at the awesome walk in tent sites. Bathrooms were clean & there are 2 showers per side as well. Many of the sites are on the water with great views from the picnic table. We did notice lots of poison ivy/oak/something climbing & surrounding many of the trees! We camped one night in site #40 which was quiet, at the end of the road & beside the walk in camper parking. Two tall lights stay on all night there but otherwise it was a great spot. You're close to your neighbors but there are tons of trees & it feels secluded.
