My husband was a driver instructor for DOT and can 3-point a 53' trailer, but this site was a challenge! Once we were set, though, we were thrilled with the site, the privacy, the view, the whole area - just sorry we couldn't stay more than two nights. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful park, nice site, just beware not all "loops" are not loops and long motorhomes and trailers can't turn around. Showers could use updating.

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.

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.
