Gulf State Park, AL
Stayed in site 386 for the week of 7/27-8/3/2014.
Back in site with full hookups.
Site is level and paved, very spacious.
Side pad for picnic table.
Sites are not shaded due to hurricanes and forest fire.
No shade however maked it warm in the popup during the day even with the ac going.
The campground has a new(ish) pool but the water was very warm.
The shower building is fairly clean but needs some repair and attention, like many I've seen this summer.
The water hookup is very warm, need to shield the waterhose, summer in Alabama!
We had a couple of quail and a rabbit that visited our campsite regularly.
Still, just over $200/week isn't bad for a week at the beach.
Wind Creek State Park, AL
Stayed at site B186 in our popup, across the road from waterfront.
Very shaded site.
Level paved pad with water and 30 amp service.
We setup the popup with no trouble at all.
Site didn't have much area for sitting at camper door front.
Table was downhill and behind the camper.
We were able to put our awning over table and use our chairs under awning.
Large campground but mostly quiet during quiet times.
Shower house nearby was clean and in good repair.
Several other campers in the campground, several football fans camping.
We stayed at site B183 and B184 in our 31' Class C, Waterfront sites.
View is great, plenty of airflow off the water.
Almost all sites are well shaded.
Had plenty of room to park our 31' Class C and park the crv in front.
Put out the porch awning.
The picnic table was on the pad behind the mh. Didn't bother with the awning for it since weather was nice.
There was no fire ring at the site so I "borrowed" the one from the site next to us since no one was staying there.
Park was very quiet since this was in fall and bit many campers. Good time to be here. Very enjoyable campground.
This is one of our favorite campgrounds within 1 1/2 hours or so from home.
Forkland COE Campground, AL
We stayed at Forkland COE Campground the weekend of December 5th-7th. After arriving after dark we met the campground hosts at their camper to check in. They were very nice and helpful.
We got set up at site 14.
The site was level and very spacious.
I did have to back up to allow the leveling jacks in the rear to be behind the stop log on the pad in order for our patio awning to miss a big oak tree.
A graveled pad next to the paved parking pad was large and flat with the picnic table, fire ring, and Bbq grill.
From our site the creek off of the Tombigbee River was just behind us downhill from the site.
We were about 100 yards from the shower house that also had laundry facilities and one of the two playgrounds in the campground.
We were able to pick up 10 or so TV channels OTA with our digital antenna, which was good since there was some severe weather coming into the state.
Unfortunately there is no wifi at the campground and cellular signal went in and out.
There is plenty of shade from the large oak trees but that also limits satellite TV signal. Still, if you want to be at a large, very well kept campsite, this is the place for you.
Sunday found us taking it easy in the MH.
Since checkout wasn't until 3pm we watched White Christmas and took our time getting ready to go.
With a stop by the dump station on the way out we concluded our stay at Forkland COE Campground.
We will be going back when we have time to sit around the campsite and enjoy the campground more. It is very well maintained and very spacious.
Cherokee / Great Smokies KOA, Cherokee, NC
Weekend stay. The campground is located in a valley that is very scenic and causes campfire smoke to hang above the campground.
Check in was quick and easy.
Campsite was a pull through, spacious, and level.
Hooks up were easy.
WiFi and cable were available.
Showerhouse we used needed work. Very small stalls, no seat, no place to put clean clothes, very bad showerhead/water flow.
