Extremely clean and scenic campground. Unique individual campsites. The campground hosts go way out of their way to make sure the place is so well kempt, they even supplied cut/splint firewood.

We stayed at Deerlick for parent’s weekend at the University of Alabama. It will not be our last visit to the camp. It is a beautiful location. We walked most of the campground, and admired the views of the lake from many of the sites. We biked some of the park as well, but the elevation changes prove to be a very difficult ride. The workers at the front were so friendly and we saw them checking on things quite often. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
