This is one of the best Campgrounds we have ever stayed at especially for tent camping. We were in site 43. Just a beautiful campground and thanks to the wonderful volunteers that cut the wood providing free firewood you couldn't ask for more. The bathrooms were clean, the piers for fishing were great and the people there were helpful and friendly! My parents have camped many places in their years and my dad was so impressed he said without a doubt it was the best tent sites he's ever seen! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!!

Fantastic experience, beautiful sites and amazing views. The camp hosts/employees were friendly, visible, and helpful. This site is very close to Moundville, AL where there is a wonderful museum as well as the mounds themselves. We checked it out while at Deerlick Creek. We're already talking about returning.

It’s a little bit off the beaten path (like 20 minutes from the highway) but it is worth it. Great level sites. We had a pull through. Too bad we could only stay one night!
