We arrived on a Thursday afternoon in mid-March - no problem getting a site, despite the fact that some sites were closed due to flooding. We were assigned site 40, a very nice site on the Alabama River. At that time the water was just a couple of feet below us; but dropped considerably during our stay. Date of visit: Mar 2010 |
 |
Sites 35-32 are some of the other river-front sites. |
 |
Site 28 is on Isaac Creek. |
 |
Site 19 is another creek-side site. |
 |
Sites 30-29 are also on Isaac Creek. |
 |
Sites 44-43 are on the inside of the loop road. |
 |
Sites 47-45. |
 |
Site 19 is one of the nicest sites on the creek. |
 |
There are three pull-through sites; this is site 50. |
 |
Sites 51-50. |
 |
Located across from one of the two bathhouses are sites 16-15. |
 |
Sites 54-53. |
 |
Sites 8-7 were under water when we first arrived, but within 24 hours the water had gone down. |
 |
This was some of the flooding the afternoon we arrived. |
 |
There are two of these small bathhouses. Each has a laundry room and free hot showers. |
 |
Two play areas provide a place for the kids to let off a little steam. Other recreational opportunities include horseshoes, volleyball, basketball. |
 |
The boat launch near the campground was under water. |
 |
Seen from our campsite, the lock and dam are located a few hundred yards downstream. |
 |
One can walk along the river bank down to the dam and lock. |
 |
Near the dam is the Alabama River Museum (unfortunately closed while we were there). |
 |
Some pleasant sunsets across the river. |
