Deerlick is a wonderful park to camp at. It is quiet, peaceful and well maintained. The hosts are friendly, informative and helpful. It is close to all activities in Tuscaloosa, Northport and even Birmingham.

We stayed in the “primitive” campsite area in spot #46 and it was lovely. I appreciated the privacy and how well-made and maintained the campsite was. The set up with the small prep table next to the grill, the large picnic table, and the fire pit were all really nice touches. As well as the hooks for hanging our trash and towels. They even had a personal water spigot just for our site which we cleaned our dishes with. The stairs were well made too. And it was wonderful to be in the forest of Alabama. Beautiful trees with the lake just below. I went on a walk on the marked trails and was able to find and identify several different mushroom species, and enjoyed seeing deer on the campsite. The area was quiet expect for the brief moments of hearing gunshots in the middle of the night (I suspect hunters were not too far) but other than that it was a great experience. The bathrooms were very well maintained with a couple of showers and they even had a playground for kids which I thought was unique and thoughtful for a campground. Thank you for giving us a great first impression of Alabama. We’d definitely visit again if we’re ever in the area.

Nice park, plenty space. Depending on what spot you're in, and the length of your RV turning around to get out can be a challenge.
Bathrooms are a little dated but clean.👍🏽
The Staff is Fantastic!!

Absolutely wonderful place! There is new pavement on the roads. The campsites we used have recently been rebuilt. The paved site pads were so level that we didn’t unhook from the truck. We loved the full hook ups and beauty of the lakeside spacious level camp sites.

Deerlick Creek was a beautiful and well maintained camping experience for us! We tend to favor the Corps of Engineers or National Park campgrounds since we have the half price lifetime senior pass... but this Campground far exceeded our expectations 😁 Great concrete pads for all of the spaces we saw, water and 50 amp power as well. Besides the pads, there were viewing platforms attached to the camping spaces that extended out over the side of the hill, and gave you a fabulous view of the valley. The only detractors from our outing were the intense summertime Heat in the 90s with very high humidity, and then the very long back road distance to the campground... easily 30 min off the interstate. However if you are looking for a great place to stay, we highly recommend this campground!
