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.

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.

Corinth Recreation Area is a beautiful place that we really enjoyed. Our stay was in late April when migrating birds were coming through in numbers. We stayed in an RV site in the Yellowhammer loop that was level and well-shaded. Note - you will need to travel a few miles away from the campground by auto to reach the hiking trails in the Bankhead NF.

Stayed at Site 41 - very nice level site. Positive - It was great to stay at a campsite with sewage hookup plus water and electricity available at the site. Negative - limited view of the water and no direct access to the water from any of the camp sites. Had to drive to the ramp to put kayaks in the water.

Very quite campground with lots of privacy at certain sites. The closer you are to the lake the more traffic you will see. The bathrooms were very clean and the hosts were very helpful.

Peaceful campground.

Most sites are spaced generously apart.

Close drive to multiple waterfalls.

One drawback is there is no laundry on site.
