5G 4 barsSharing my cycle route as FYI.  #126 is on the water and a barge has been by on week days, twice each day.  Not sure if this is the norm.  Then. At the other end of the route is the dam/lock that the barge has to traverse. Probably a couple miles from entrance to campgroundBasketball court & ( possibly) a pickleball courtBath house

Bathrooms very clean. Laundry was free. Internet was very spotty.

We love Pickensville COE. Nice and quiet campground. The Core of Engineers had placed rocks along the shoreline on the river. Big improvement since our previous visit. While camping this week I found the app MarineTraffic. Allows you to track the passing barges. See whos coming and where they are from etc.

Campground was clean and very quite. There were only 10 other units in the campground. Even though we had a significant amount of rain, the area around our site drained almost immediately.

Well kept campground. Clean bath house. Very attentive to the campers need. Nice, quiet and relaxing. Our favorite COE campground

It's a great camp ground ... however this time there was no one at the front entrance the entirety of our stay. We were never checked in. This was the same experience of all of the campers around us. There were several times that random people were in the camp ground just riding around, like a large group of motorcycles.Just not the norm for other camp grounds we've been to, and will definitely will play a part in visiting there in the future.

good place to stay good bike riding roads
@NancyL5001540 · Camped on Apr 7, 2025 at Campsite #124
Lots of room for walking and biking. I only wish the washer and dryer were available for campers. It is a remote location, and that would make life so much easier.
@JamesF9843907 · Camped on Apr 6, 2025 at Campsite #136
Our favorite site at our favorite campground with our family and friendsand the new camping friends we meet
@MichaelC616917 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #126
Sites were good. View of the river was awesome.
@NylaME8D0B99B1 · Camped on Apr 1, 2025 at Campsite #144
There were very few people here when I camped last week. The sites are spacious, level, and well situated. I was along the river, a bit of a walk from the bath house. There was plenty of hot water and the facilities were kept very clean by the attentive staff. The campground was quiet at night, which I really appreciated. There are lovely boardwalks through the Cyprus Swamps, though all of the decks and boardwalks are in need of some repair.
@ToddW4306028 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #109
Wonderful, quiet campground. We made some friends with the neighbors. Clean shower house with hot water and tremendous water pressure. Will definitely make this a regular spot. Nice flat concrete pad to park on.
@AliceSFEA39F0B · Camped on Mar 22, 2025 at Campsite #123
Always get site 123 next to the Tombigee River. Can't wait for next year. If any of you are "birders" I located over 50 different species of birds while we were here

@KellyK4F6DBCE2 · Camped on Mar 11, 2025 at Campsite #112
Nice campground, locks are viewable from both sides of the river. Visitors center is just south of o junction in Pickensville.
@EllenH5197529 · Camped on Mar 6, 2025 at Campsite #135
I love this campground. I stay there at least twice a year if I can to visit my aunt Carrollton.
@BrittanyS62424 · Camped on Mar 5, 2025 at Campsite #117
We love it here.
@VickeyWB77F88B · Camped on Feb 28, 2025 at Campsite #117
We love this campground. Unique experience. Bath houses were clean but run down. Would take some $$$$ to upgrade, we understand. Still plan to come back.
@JamesW5759385 · Camped on Feb 14, 2025 at Campsite #124
Great site. The camp hosts were very good. When we arrived I noticed the site we had booked was really tight on both sides wih trees and it had a huge buckle in the concrete. The hosts told us to park in the next one over.
@BarbH5EE1D8CB5 · Camped on Feb 11, 2025 at Campsite #114
This was our first time in the campground and it was dark and rainy upon arrival. The campground host was very helpful to in directing us to our campsite. Its a beautiful place and will definitely hope to make it back again!!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
