Small campground with water and electric. Nice sites. Pitiful excuse for a beach. Don't count on it.

We've been to Deerlick Creek twice in the past 2 years in the spring and both times we ended up in a tornado warning. The first time we had to drive 20 minutes to the community shelter and this year we ended up in the restroom with about a dozen other campers. It's not a tornado shelter but 5 minutes before, the all clear came through and then the siren went off.

This park was a nice surprise! Looking for a place for a spontaneous overnight camping trip, about 20-30 mins from University of Alabama campus, we were lucky enough to get a site near the water. All the sites were well placed, most had some privacy, not on top of each other. We hiked a nice trail through the woods & watched the sunset over the lake from a little dock on the water’s edge.
