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.

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,

@LloydW77E55C4A · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #39

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.

@JeffreyM593003 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #60

Wonderful, well kept campground!

@DeniseR4357252 · Camped on May 13, 2025 at Campsite #32

Always perfect camping spots!

@MarthaTE2496EF · Camped on May 13, 2025 at Campsite #34

We LOVED our stay at Corinth. This may be our favorite campground thus far. The sites are large and the camp hosts while we were there were the BEST! We had to change sites due to flooding rains and our camp hosts made it so easy and were so nice about it. The campsites were clean and the bath house was always clean and fresh smelling. I will definitely go back to Corinth - and hope for the same camp hosts!

@DennisJ5453000 · Camped on May 13, 2025 at Campsite #9

We like this CG. Quiet and peaceful. Yellowhammer #9 is a pull-thru site that was easy to get into but absolutely horrible to get out of. We were in a 42' FW. Anyone with a big rig should go to Firefly loop instead of Yellowhammer.

@JAMESS8693241 · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #11

We loved this campground! Very scenic and quiet. Campsites were in great shape. Bathhouse was nice and convenient. Full hookups at every site was a nice bonus too!

@LORIG5494827 · Camped on Apr 17, 2025 at Campsite #4

Nice campground. Kind of expensive

@CaroleABC228BA · Camped on Apr 16, 2025 at Campsite #42

This campground is clean and well maintained. Sites are not "on top" of each other. Very quiet and peaceful stay.

@KenH4960616 · Camped on Mar 25, 2025 at Campsite #42

We would love it if Corinth stayed open longer in the fall.

@MollyeG60846C3 · Camped on Mar 24, 2025 at Campsite #33

It was spring break and the beach area wasn't open. Even if you were not swimming it would be nice just to let kids play in the sand and explore! Definitely recommend a playground and make it a little more kid/ family oriented.

@StevieP5B72757 · Camped on Mar 23, 2025 at Campsite #19

I ways love staying at Corinth, it is always clean and very peaceful. The host are alway friendly and helpful. I had to leave early because of my granddaughter and they were very help and I was expecting a refund but she did it without me asking. Thanks so much, planning on staying several time this year. My go to place for quick trips.

@JudyW1194523 · Camped on Mar 20, 2025 at Campsite #27

When I checked in I ask about putting a tent on our site. I told the lady the tent was large she said it should fit somewhere on your site. We put our tent up to one side. Then when my daughter came in I told her to pay for an extra car because we would have three. Pay 10 you can bring in an extra car. BUT that means park in overflow. Not at your site even if there is room for 40 cars. Only two per site. Yes, I read that in the rules but then they said pay 10 bring in extra. Rules do not specify where you park the extra. Park ranger was rather rude when he came to tell us to move our tent because it wasnt on the pad. I ask! Told us to move the extra car to over flow! It does not explain that anywhere!!!! Two days later after wind destroyed our tent that couldnt be staked down. Got another message because our extra car was parked at our site again. Yes, it was. A sick sleeping child was in it and it was not in the road or on the grass. We were gonna move it as soon as she woke up. We WILL NOT BE BACK!!!!!!

Nice lake

@RoyM4860151 · Camped on Oct 25, 2024 at Campsite #32

Very nice campground, we enjoyed our stay here very much. Clean and quiet and easy access to a beautiful lake for fishing. We are already planning our return trip.

@JeffreyM870450 · Camped on Oct 14, 2024 at Campsite #37

Great campground, clean, and very Friendly and helpful Host. No OTA channels for TV. Nice spacing, very private. Never seen so many armadillos. Phone reception on Patriot Mobile was excellent. Lots of beautiful waterfalls to see, other sites include Jesse Owens Museum, Helen Keller Ivey Green not too far to drive and Alabama Natural Arch just down the road from the park. Great trip. Thank you.

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
