Fish cleaning station!Pickensville Campground, AL
Fish cleaning station!If you need to work , ATT  is really good at the dam/lock , about 3 miles away 
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

Very nice waterfront site, everything worked properly. I did not use the bathouses so I can't comment on that.

Nice well spaced sites on the Ten-Tom Waterway. Saw a large tug and barges go right by our site.

The host are all so sweet and ready to help in anyway they can. The camp site was very clean and ready for us to pull on it and enjoy our weekend in which we did just that.

Bathhouse were absolutely nasty. Great area just needs limbs trimmed around some of the sites. Web sight for reservation needs an update.

Great campground. Sites were very spacious and level. Our premium site was directly across from bathroom. Plenty of room to roam.

Site #136 is our favorite spot. We even lengthened our stay a couple nights because we enjoyed it so much. We had the whole culdesac to ourselves as most campers preferred the few full HU's near the bathhouse. Amazing views of the river with lots of wild life, boat and barge activity. Very quiet spot but not sure if that changes once the system ramps up. The only issue we had was flies getting into the camper as we have never had that before. Not sure if that was due to the weather change from cold to warmer. Husband caught 4 bass right off the fishing pier nearby. Hostess was very helpful and friendly. Bathhouse was a little worn but clean. As others have mentioned, you will need to drive about 30 minutes for a good restaurant and gas. There is a small station nearby that has ice, snacks, bait but gas pumps were shut down, I believe due to an owner change.

We enjoyed our 2 week stay in site 73. We had plenty of space in our FU pull-thru site. Our site was not directly on the river, but across. We still enjoyed watching the barges pass from our site. The campground is in the middle of nowhere. It is about an hour drive to the bigger cities. Columbus, MS has a great Riverwalk trail we would highly recommend. Our stay was quiet and we enjoyed walking/running around the campground and trails.

Very quiet and peaceful. Very relaxing as well. Helped the campgrounds by picking up fallen limbs in order to build a fire. Worked out great. The weather was typical for fall, warm day and cool nights. My wife was able to see a barge passing during night time. It brings back fond memories for her. We had another really good experience with our 6 yr old dog, a Great Pyrenees, 2nd trip for her. Very nice campground with a kids playground and lots of space to walk or ride bicycles or fish.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@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!!!
