We were at Deerlick in October of 2019. We loved the Campground! There were not many campers at the time of our visit but we were there during the week. The campground is beautiful! The spaces were a nice size and had picnic tables and fire pit. Depending on the site you picked you may also have a great view of the lake.
We had a chance to speak with some of the volunteers there and could see how much they loved the campground as well. We only stayed one night as it was a stopover for a longer trip but I definitely want to go back and spend more time. If you are ever in the area, I recommend staying for a few days!

We love this campground! We've been several times and always appreciate the scenery and location. Close to Tuscaloosa, it offers us an opportunity to relax on our journey yet be close to town and our route. Definitely stop in at Deerlick Creed COE.
