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.

The campground was lovely, lots of trees. Our site was easy to back into and very level. There was a lot of good walking and the trails were nice. The host was very good, she introduced herself and was able to answer all of our questions both about the park and the surrounding area. There was no internet but the library in town would provide computer services. With the coded gate entry we felt very safe.

I really would like to see wifi installed.
It would, also, be nice to have local restaurant's phone number on your welcome sheet.

We love camping at Corinth. It’s our favorite place to camp. We have reservations for June, July, and August this year. The only complaint I have is bathrooms were not clean and they used to be very clean.

We LOVE this campground. The sites are spacious - a camper's dream. The camp host, Vicki, went out of her way to welcome us and make sure our vacation was wonderful. I will definitely be back - just not soon enough to suit me. LOL

This is a beautiful campground. Full hook up. Clean sites, clean bathroom, very friendly host. Most helpful.

The sites are large, and the campers were very quiet. Will come again.
