One night stay while traveling and will stay longer next trip. Full hook ups with the best dump basin for grey/black waste. Sites are well laid out with nice privacy. Access to lake and gated entrance.

We loved camping at Corinth. The camping spots are spaced apart so you have privacy. It was very clean and well-maintained. It was a quiet and a peaceful stay. We rode bikes several miles and it was a safe place to ride and visit nature while riding. We booked the same day as arrival and the lady that helped me was super helpful. We will definitely return.

We absolutely love Corinth Recreation Area! I wish that the lake levels werent dropped so much, but I understand winter pool. Still a great place for camping!Not far from the campground is Double Springs AL and there is a fantastic little Italian restaurant that is surprisingly delish!

Love the campground and the host were very friendly. I just wish they stayed opened longer in the year.

This park is well kept !! Peaceful but no park for the kids. The beach area was closed so there may have been a play area that we didnt see.

The campground at Corinth COE was very nice. The site was very spacious. The fire pit was nice and the sewage hookup was nice because of the overflow sink built to the connection. The hiking trails and the roadway led to the lake which was very beautiful. I highly recommend the campground to others seeking a quiet and relaxing camping experience.

We stayed at Corinth for 4 nights in Yellow Hammer site 3. The place is beautiful and the sites are large, shady and well-spaced. The park is well-maintained, and the sites are mostly level. There is practically no internet service (we like to watch tv in the evening). There was no one in the office and we never saw a camp host on our loop while we were there. All in all, a wonderful time :-)
@CarltonF51A55D · Camped on Sep 7, 2025 at Campsite #52
Absolutely wonderful. Our favorite place to camp.

We always enjoy spending time at Corinth Recreation Area. Even on holiday weekends when every camping site is full, the staff do a great job of making sure everyone has when they need as well as being seen often.

the campground was beautiful and well maintained the staff was friendly. we were in yellowhammer loop site 2 and have t mobile the cell service was great but once you went further into campground no service at all. verizon didn't pick up at all, so if cell service is a must you may not want to camp here. the lake was beautiful as well. sites were spacious. we will camp there again. highly recommended.

@JeffL9591550 · Camped on Aug 27, 2025 at Campsite #34
Site 34 Firefly Loop with full hookup. Camped in a 40 foot 5th wheel. Park was very clean site was nice. Host stayed busy constantly cleaning grounds and bathhouses. Over all very nice stay.
@RobC7712010 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #16
Extremely beautiful recreation area on the lake! Camping spots are roomy. Most camping sites appeared level. Shower houses are close and kept very clean. Access to lake is easy! Fantastic hosts. Quiet hours are quiet. It is relatively close to Bankhead National Forest, the Natural Bridge Park, grocery store, shops and restaurants.

This is our second stay at Corinth and we have thoroughly enjoyed each stay! Wireless service with Verizon was not fantastic but we survived,

Loved this peaceful campground. The site was spacious and the bathrooms were kept very clean.

Had a very bad experience at check in with attendant at the gate. I listed 2 vehicles on my reservation & told the gate attendant my grand daughter would be coming in another vehicle later. She starting questioning me about if she would be staying at night or just visiting our camp. I told her she would be going out to work her job . She said she would have to spend the night or pay for a visitor pass of $10 dollars. She was apparently having a bad day & wanting a confrontation . I have been camping at clear Creek & Corinth for over 30 yrs. & never encountered an employee that treated a customer like this. I will be finding me another campground to visit in the future. It appears to me that your campground could care less about regular customers. You can check my past camp record & see that I visit 1-2 times monthly.

Great camping area.
@EugeneB81B7C54 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #41
Enjoyed our stay, Everything was good as far workers. They need more gravel around pad has a drop off, bad for older people. This can cause someone to fall.

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.

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!!!
