| Pam B. | | Great Place to Get Away From Everything! | | Reviewed on June 19th, 2020 | | We spent Thanksgiving Thursday through Sunday at Isaac Creek Campground in Franklin Alabama. It's located along the Alabama River and where Isaac Creek flows into the Alabama. Reservations were easy and we could pick our spot through Reserve America. I did a little research and found a campground map online. I also researched some blogs to see what I could find out about the site. I found that the sites on Isaac Creek are more private and have wooded areas between each site. There are also docks for fishing along the creek too. About 15 docks for 20 sites. We arrived around 3:30pm after a 2.5 hour drive down from Montgomery Alabama. Bring your food since this place is really remote, but Finchburg Grocery is about 8 miles away that has pretty much everything (they have bait and camper stuff too) and they open at 5am.
There are 60 sites total each with electric (50 amp) and water hookups (water is soft, so if you don't care for the taste/mouth feel bring your own water). Sites don't have sewer, but they do have a dual dump station close by at the park entrance. Sites are level concrete pads, have picnic tables, lantern holders, grill and fire ring. Sites 15-35 are premium waterfront sites, 1-6, 42-60 are standard non-waterfront sites. There are 2 bath houses with restrooms, showers and laundry. Showers have plenty of hot water, clean floors and are heated. Nights dropped into the 30's during our visit and the restrooms were a constant 60 degrees (there was a thermometer on the wall). Sites also have large 32 gallon trashcans and someone came around on Saturday morning and emptied the trash and put a new trash bag in the can.
Park is very VERY quiet and away from any highway noise. Boats do go up and down the creek, but it's a no wake zone so it's pretty quiet. Park was full by Friday but it was still very quiet at night. Only street lights are at the bath houses, so bring lights for making that walk to the potty. Boy it was REAL dark!
We have Verizon cellphone service and we could only get 1X. Occasional 3G service, but for the most part only 1X. Our television did not pick up any channels at all so if you want to watch TV better bring your satellite service with you.
There are three play grounds, basketball court with two hoops, pavilion, large group cook out area, boat launch, fishing dock on the river and trails. Quiet time is from 10pm to 6am. Pets must be on a leash. Due to the nature of the area there are no swimming areas.
