My family and I recently camped at the I-65 RV Campground in Creola, AL. First let me say that the staff is excellent. I had a lot of questions and the couple working there was all smiles and answered all my questions and even escorted me to my campsite. It was a very quiet campground with mostly workers camping there with a nice area for pull-through campers who are only staying for a night or two. There was plenty of shade and the site was long enough. It fit my camper plus a trailer and car. The bathrooms were very clean and the washroom was a good size. There is an old man that drives around a few times at night to make sure everything is running in order there. I enjoyed staying at this campground and will come back to stay again on my way back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is an "ok" park and it has mostly semi-permanent hurricane worker residents living there. The park itself was quiet but it is close to I-65 so there is some traffic noise. It is an older park with lots of trees and bushes for privacy but the road is narrow and has large speed bumps which really twisted my motor home regardless of how slowly I went over them. The two different young female staff members I dealt with were not overly friendly. It was like I was bothering them when asking questions. I arrived after nightfall and was not guided to the site and had difficulty finding it because the numbers are quite small and hard to find in the dark. I was finally assisted by other campers in finding the assigned site. The bath/showers were spotless. I would stay there again but would investigate other campground availability in the area first. Not a bad park but I dropped the rating one point because of the attitude of the staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We overnighted at this campground and I think that is all it is good for, it appears that most of the residents are long term and sites look like it. I will say that the people are friendly and helpful and the sites, which are gravel are very level and we did not have to unhook to be able to overnight. This park was hard to get to and they need some more signs to point the way because the freeway is very confusing in the area. I would overnight there again but no more than that. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Mostly monthly permanents here. No ameneties. Few big-rig sites but somewhat difficult to actually drive to them (trees, shrubs, rocks, and other obstructions). Lots of trees. Sat. connection impossible. To their credit, they did go out and cut down some of the shrubs and branches, but it did us no good (nice for the next people coming in). One resident was dumping gray water on the ground. The office staff said that was ALLOWED and that they had permission, even though they are on a water well. Lots of rules, little enforcement. OK for a "get off the freeway" overnight, but not much more. Return? Not. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A great place for an overnight stop or as a base for travel to Mobile. Easy to find, right off the Interstate, but quiet enough. Not a resort park. Lots of bigger 5th wheels there for a couple of weeks or longer for people working in the area. Staff was friendly and helpful. Email arrangements were primitive, you had to take your laptop to an outdoor dialup connection outside the office. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an old style park with lots of trees. Satellite tracking system did not work, hook outdoor satellite. Quiet park. No amenities, no playground, pool. This park is mostly long term residents. It is a safe park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice safe site for an overnight stay. We stayed here on the way to Mardi Gras, very clean nice folks, easy on and off the interstate. Escort to site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
