Prairie Creek (AL)

Very nice park. Water all around with large trees for shade. Bathrooms were great a one time but in need of an overhaul and of course an updated maintenance plan. I pointed out to a Ranger some easy basic maintenance projects that would improve the looks of the park overall. Like a gallon of paint and a brush. No money for that!!
Lots of work campers who are basic living in the park for free. Very little work being done. I saw a camper mowing his site with his own mower. The wooden decks are in need of immediate attention or they’ll be closed in the near future.
The lock fishing pier is another story but it is CLOSED. again, no maintenance or money. Infrastructure just wasting away. But Ukrainian get tens of billions in taxpayer dollars and I can’t fish off the pier on the Alabama river.
It’s a great park if you have a boat and use the launch to access the river for recreational purposes. And of course if you just want to lay low and relax, it’s great for that.

This is a very nice campground with every site on the water. The sites are spaced apart and very level. The very first thing we said to each other when we got there was we are definitely coming back and staying longer.

Very nice park. Sites are well spaced. Overall park maintenance is good. Somewhat challenging to get to, but internet directions are decent. Very little internet service at the park. Definitely will return.

Always a great place to go. Friendly people and gorgeous views. We will be back.

Nice clean and quiet campground. Shower houses clean and well maintained. New staff are very friendly.

Nice sites and very peaceful while surrounded by the river.

Sites were very clean and maintained, camp host did a fabulous job in preparing sites for incoming guest.

This was the cleanest campground I think I’ve been to. It was quiet, the site was right on the water, and everything was super clean. The site mentions a swimming spot but there wasn’t anywhere you could swim without a boat, but that’s ok. It was an awesome place, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Not really stores nearby, so make sure you bring everything you need!

We were greeted by the campground host in his Lets Go Brandon t shirt. Some RV sites are very close (less than 10 feet) from each other. Facilities clean.
The area is surrounded by hunting grounds, we heard several rounds of shots while we were staying. Woke to faint smell of paper mill in the campground.
Sites at the end closest to camping have 2 large streetlights to light parking for tent campers. These lights stayed on all night and we’re quite bright.

This was my third time staying at Prairie Creek. Love staying here. Campsites are clean and spacious. Always a fun stay.
