Very nice quiet campground. We originally reserved spot 40 but after watching a You Tube video we called to change it because our 34' camper would have a hard time fitting and making the U turn to get out. We hiked the second day there and got bitten up by chiggers. USE BUG SPRAY! It's a long drive into Tuscaloosa but worth it. Everything else was great.

The park is nice and on a ridge above Holt Lake. The lake is not very accessible from the campground but does have a beach you can drive to. There is only one bath house for the entire campground.
We were in site 37 which was terraced like most sites. We had very little space from the RV to the steps leading down to a nice gravel area and deck with a picnic table. My only complaint is the River Bluff sites require you to turn around in one of two cul-de-sacs. The cul-de-sac before sites 33 and 34 is the larger of the two and using the road to the lower sites should not be too bad to turn around in. We were in site 37 which required us to use the lower cul-de-sac which is small. Thank goodness the campers in site 39 and 40 had left. We pulled into site 40 and then backed into site 39 and were able to get turned around. We were in a Chevy 3500 pulling a 28 ft RV.

We only stayed one night, but what a gem. We were moved to site 37 which was great but not easy to get out of with our F250 pulling our 24’ trailer. The turn around was tight. We did see a bald eagle fly by and the temps were great.
