A year ago I wrote about this park being in the midst of re-landscaping, as it looked by all the equipment laying around that work was in progress. It wasn't. Nothing has changed. Maybe it looks good in the summer when everything is green but this time of year it looks run down. The park works well as a stop-n-sleep. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Access is good. Sites are gravel and not level. It rained hard and drainage is a problem for all sites on the north side. To the south there is a construction yard with old equipment, mobile homes, and other similar items parked. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We would go back to this park just for the owner/operater. He was the nicest, friendliest guy. We had to put in a new microwave while we were there. No easy task, and he came right over and offered to help, and brought one of his helpers with him. This camp will never make it on RV Camp Beautiful, but it has full hook-ups, cable and wifi. I did have trouble using the wifi, but again he had someone come help me. It still was not strong, but there was another hotspot that I could get on. We stayed here for a week, and will go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very rustic, bordering on trashy, but good for a one-niter or a base for visiting the Opelika-Auburn area. Looks like they are in the midst of re-landscaping. Great cable and instant wireless. Possibly the friendliest hosts I've ever come across. If I was in the area, I'd go back just to shoot the breeze with him". The piles of rock and gravel, the tractors and other equipment still liter the park and it still looks a little on the trashy side. Even with all that, I’d still go there again for the friendly folks and good services. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here only 2 nights, but were not impressed. The sites were unkempt, rustic and closely cramped. There was a lot of 'junk yard' debris strewn around and a lot yard gnomes and trinkets around. The campground road was uneven gravel and hilly and windy. Anyone with a camper longer than our 32 footer might have a hard time navigating around with the low hanging trees and sharp turns. All that said, the owners were nice.

No bathrooms or anything yet, large very nicely set-up sites, pull-throughs, great owners. Perfect for us as we only care to park and ride around towns. Priced higher than all local parks etc. unless you can have discount Camp Club USA or Passport America. NO DISCOUNT on weekends though so would not stop on weekends. Old trucks and equipment out front gate; almost did not go in, but once in you see great layout and sites. Locals tell us won't go there too high and too messy looking out front. Needs to have a big sign advertising special deal/s stop in. Needs to get local word of mouth out there, as the locals camp and travel further for cheaper rates right now. Stopped at several places to eat and locals say too messy looking. For us it was perfect. Really nice owners but only 2 other guests overnight. Saw 4 permanent campers. Lot of hard work already done there to clean it up. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park appears to be a work in progress. Wifi not at all sites yet, but being added. Our pull-through had excellent wifi. Many trees in park, but no problem maneuvering our 40' long 12.5' high motorhome pulling a Jeep. There appears to be abandoned construction equipment nearby, but was not a problem for us. There are many construction workers camped here, but there sites are well maintained. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There did not appear to be an office as the check in was completed in the driveway. After check-in, we were led to our site down a single lane gravel road. We passed the dump station on the way in and it appeared to be just a pipe sticking up out of the ground. It also appeared to be higher than the road. The park is heavily wooded and care must be taken of overhanging branches. Most of the sites appeared to contain permanent residents. Our site had standing water as it had rained earlier in the day. The host was very friendly and helpful even finding extra boards to help level the coach. The site was surrounded by junked out trailers and a junked piece of old road equipment. Across the street were several junked out double wide trailers stored there. We spent that night because a storm was coming but we will probably not stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for two nights during Auburn's football season and it was really nice to be able to have a quiet place to come to away from all of the game chaos. There was only one other motor home there all weekend which was nice but I think there's a club that comes in once a month so you may want to check in advance to make sure there will be availability. They keep the lawns very well manicured and it has a beautiful old home at the entrance. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A bit out of the way but a wonderful place. The park is an old estate with an historic home on the property. In October the City of Opelika runs a haunted hay ride and the home is turned into a haunted house. Wonderful diversion indeed. The surrounding forests have a number of trails to walk and the park was very quiet the month I stayed. One weekend a local group of Good Sams used about a dozen of the spaces but the remaining time I had the whole place to myself. The manager and caretaker were extremely friendly and helpful and made the stay even more unforgettable. Park is about 15 miles from town so trips for groceries and laundry require a little driving. Best if you have a toad but I did the "commute" in my 40 foot coach with no real problems. We camped here in a Motorhome.
