About Corinth Recreation Area

The Corinth Recreation Area is a state-of-the art campground located on the on the shores of the upper part of Lewis Smith Lake in Winston County. Initially built in the 1960s and renovated in 1998 it offers facilities for individual and group camping, picnicking, swimming, and boat launching.   Check-out time for Corinth is no later than 12:00pm the day of departure. Check-in time is no earlier than 2:00pm. This 2 hour window allows our staff adequate time to clean and maintain each site. Two camping loops contain 52 campsites, with electrical, water, and sewer hookups. There are four bathhouses, with warm showers, serving the camping areas. A boat ramp is provided for campers. An entrance station with an electronic gate is available to control access to the campground. Corinth also offers eight rustic tent camping sites with nearby community hydrants and a bathhouse. No garbage bins are in the campground; users are required to pack out trash and deposit it in the dumpsters by the dump station.  ADA accessible sites are available.  The day use portion of the recreation area focuses on the swimming beach, served by a bathhouse with an outdoor beach shower. Twenty-nine family picnic sites are available nearby, and paved access paths connect all. Near the beach is a 100-person group picnic pavilion, with a flush toilet that serves both it and a portion of the picnic sites. A 1.25-mile hiking path is located along the shoreline of the lake.

If you’re there for an overnight trip this place is fine. If you were there for a lengthy amount of time this place is so boring! My husband and I hiked down to the waters edge and found the overlook and the paths were not maintained at all! There were a lot of structures that have completely fallen apart. We were very disappointed and I know that we will not go back to this campground.

We enjoyed our visit. The bathrooms were clean. The campground was well kept. The staff was nice and very helpful during check in.
We visited the Houston Historic Jail. That was fun. Will definitely be back again.

This is a very nice campground for adults. IT IS NOT KID FRIENDLY. No playgrounds and the website said paved trails. The only pathways that were paved was in yellowhammer loop, which sucked because I'm disabled in a wheelchair. The beach area was quite a ways away from our loop.

Like the previous comment says. It’s not shaded like other sites. Well at least first thing in the morning. That sun hits hard at 9am. But the bathrooms were immaculate. Like you can smell the clean. The host were super friendly. Even took our garbage bag while we were out due to ravens snooping around our site. I didn’t have time to enjoy all the amenities. But the park host worked hard to maintain it and it shows. Seen plenty of deer all over. Only thing I would change is next time I stay I will be closer to the bathroom. Site 38 is at the far end of the loop. But other then that. I loved it.
