Beautiful Setting! Watch out for ticks though. Overall, a wonderful experience with staff and such a great location to walk/hike/scooter around. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Remarkably Clean. Sanitary sewage connections are nicely done so connections can be rinsed at the site before storage. A nice open area for star gazing is located by the trailhead parking area. Staff are very pleasant and do a fantastic job preparing sites for the next visitor.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful we loved building a fire in the fire pit several nights. During this covid-19 going camping helped getting out. Best way to quarantine was to camp.

We loved Corinth Rec. center Our space was great - plenty of room for our 37 ft RV and our car. Great trees and pretty level. Good location near lots of great hiking and water falls.
We only stayed 2 days but we are planning to come back and spend a week - lots of nature in this area that is worth seeing.

Very nice campground. They have many drive through sites for people such as me that can not back up trailers. Beautiful area and close to Double Springs and a Walmart less than 20 mi away. Will like to visit again in the future.
