This is a clean, peaceful, and fun location. The staff are friendly and helpful. The water activities are great! I do not think there is a bad site at this campground. We were at site 40 and the narrow road was not a problem for us. The secluded location was refreshing! Great trails that were very scenic. We were there for a University of Alabama graduation (Roll Tide!) and we explored the beautiful campus. We went into Birmingham and enjoyed the culture and the great history of the Civil Rights. We stopped at Aww SHUCKS Avondale for a delicious vegan meal!
