Prairie Creek (AL)

We loved this COE CG for its beauty and quiet and a lit of water surrounding the cg. There were great sites on the water as well as close by. We loved our nightly strolls here and it had awesome sunset viewing. Docks are available to fish from which were utilized by many.
Some drawbacks however. We were here in November and were in a site under a hickory nut tree. The noise from them falling all night on our trailer was awful and seemed damaging as they were the size of a tangerine.
Because the CG does not have sewer, we used the bath house. The showers walls were gross and the area for showers was in great need of update and upkeep. Showers had just a flimsy shower curtain that only covered half the stall. No privacy. I bought my own curtain and hung it. I did not feel safe in the shower here because of the curtain and no door with lock at shower. We stay at a lot of COE CG's and have not had this maintenance situation previously.

Lovely sunsets - quiet- good showers- walking opportunities- laundry
Only negative was the ants!

Easy access to Alabama River , very relaxing atmosphere!!

Site 10 is nothing but a long driveway, backed into another site. Not even room for a picnic table & standing water on both sides when it rains. Our circle had 4 hunters leave every morning even though firearms aren't permitted in the campground, I'm sure they weren't carrying slingshots. A family with 3 campers & 7 dogs only used leashes about 10% of the time. Obviously your staff isn't paying attention, or just don't care.

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the fire pit was full of trash. I called the office and they said they don't clean them. No other suggestions or explanation. So, I cleaned it myself. The next day I meet the camp host as they came around to clean. I found out that the people at the gate who amswer the phone are under different contracts than the people who clean. Moral of the story...go look for camp host if you have a problem.

We enjoyed a 2 wonderful nights at Prairie Creek. The beauty of the area and the waterfront camping on the Alabama River was exactly what we were looking for. The bathhouse is older and could use some TLC but overall we really enjoyed this campground!
