Service

Service is a very nice, quiet campgrounds but could use a little more TLC from the Corps of Engineers and its volunteer camp hosts, especially the shower house and grounds. However if you are willing to overlook a less than very clean, well stocked shower house Service Park is great place to spend the night, week or month!

Fantastic stay. Hosts were all v friendly. They call to let you know when your site is ready. Met us and directed us to our site when we got there. Sites and all facilities are well-maintained. So much fun to watch the barges as well as The Loopers on the river.

Service Park is a typical COE campgrounds, yet not so typical. It is a very quiet park where they round up the sidewalks and go home at dark. the only exceptions are a few large group gatherings on holidays and the heavy barge traffic at night especially during "Quiet Time!" The large groups I personally witnessed are well behaved and usually just loud enough to know they are talking to each other during quiet time, which is hardly a bother. The barges on the other hand blow the concept of "Quiet Time" out the window. But they are kind of like trains, you get used to them and they become White Noise and aren't really the same as the kinds of disturbances from rowdies you suffer at some campgrounds and the COE has its share of those!! Beautiful exotic ecology with unique lizards and plant life!! Plenty of deer coming through and usually the howling of coyotes can be heard in the distance after dark. But it could use a lot more TLC the volunteer staff and COE management. Still highly recommend this park to folks wanting to spend a little quality time in a natural setting, enjoying the great outdoors!!

Beautiful grounds, riverfront to watch boats go by. Nice campground hosts. Even called to let us know our site was ready.

Great Park, lousy management!!

Great park to bad its not better maintained!!

My husband, son, and our daughter-in-law spent one night at Service last year on our way home from vacation and we all loved it so much that we decided to visit again this year.
It is a beautiful park and We loved that it is so clean and well maintained. It is quiet and peaceful and we were quite content to spend the day sitting around watching the barges on the river.
The camp hosts were all great and we loved visiting with them and their fur babies.
We will be back.

Always enjoyable and very clean. Park host are always available and very helpful. Friendly staff goes a long way.

We love Service. We are now members of a group of friends that camp together. This trip we had friends in 6 campsites. Hosts are great. Facilities are kept up and clean. Had great AT&T phone service. We will continue to camp here every opportunity.

Great COE campground. It was quiet and peaceful and right on the banks of the Tombigbee river. Very clean and well kept.
