Very nice, primitive tent camping right on the waterfront. There are nice places to build a fire, and watch the sunset with the river right there. Also, for the RV peeps... they have 50amp electrical, water and sewage hookup. Well kept bath houses... and a ton of stuff to do in the Shoals area. I live in the Shoals and come here for a nice time outdoors:)

Gorgeous park and location! When camping with just a tent, you’re right on the water with a really great amount of space. The ground is great for pegs too. The campground attendant, Tim, was super friendly and helpful in every way. Price for a spot for one night was fair, but I do have to say that as nice as it is to have bathrooms, they were not nice and much better avoided.

This campground is located in our hometown of Florence AL and is a gem of a City Campground. It is a staple as far as local campers are concerned because of its serene setting while at the same time being so convenient to so many wonderful attractions. Only a mile or two from some wonderful local restaurants and retail as well as being convenient to the Cities of Sheffield, Tuscumbia and Muscle Shoals all of which are 5 miles or less. Its a beautiful setting along the Tennessee River (Picwick Lake). Boat launches, picnic pavilions, frisbee golf, fishing pier and a beach in the same park. wonderful place to watch sunsets and sunrises on the River

This park was beautiful! Perfect for a nice stroll, lots of picnic tables, benches, a few swings overlooking the water, and a nice pavilion. Also a nice restaurant/ grill is there by the water with great food!

Omg love it so peaceful.....nice place go....but need stop the little so called parades that go on down there..love these critters.....just lots great sight seeing

Its clean and beautiful. Its back to full functioning status.A lot of people boating, fishing off the pier and rocks.The grass was just cut.Have fun and be safe out there.

All sites are 30 or 50 Amp Full Hook up, beautiful place. Close to any and all the amenities. Very well kept and clean.

Beautiful park. Campgrounds and boat launches. Also the Indian Mound Museum is located there just past the entrance.

A Marine Park, a very beautiful view of the Tennessee River, needs to improve public service , and theres a dock.( ‏One more thing, this river runs between three states, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee).

Such a nice city park. Lots to offer here, boating, fishing, walking, camping. The campground is busy and fills up. Some sites with water & cliffs view with full hookups. Beautiful views! Playground for children.

Absolutely LOVE Fishing there! Does wonders to ease anxiety.

This is a beautiful park located in Florence, AL. I like this very much. You can enjoy a scenic beauty of Tennessee River. Fishing pier, beach for swiming, colorful lighing at night, hammock, etc. You can see Canadian geese, and other birds.

Great park! I like the little beach they have also. Seemed like a good place to have a get together or just chill out by the river. Also a fantastic place to hammock, trees everywhere. Wish they renovated Dittos in Huntsville to be something like this.

Nice area pavilions camp area. On the river.

This beautiful park made for an incredible Shoalsfest venue. I am so glad I attended. Phenomenal music on the banks of the TN River, what could be better?!

Lots and lots of space on the beautiful Tennessee River. Excellent marina and dock. Two wide boat launches with plenty of parking for vehicle & trailer. Fine well maintain camping area--make reservations!

Really great venue for a concert. Beautiful setting beside the river and the festival was organized very well. We will definitely come back here!

For tent camping its great. I came down for a week to fish and its $14 a night for tent site. Nice facilitys good showers etc. Super nice people running the joint too

Great outdoor recreation area on the Tennessee River. Plenty of room for parking and a picnic, with quite a few people seen fishing from the bank. Terrain was nice for a good walk by the river. Enjoyed seeing a little family of geese during our visit.

I havent been in a while. Its beautiful!

Great place to take a lawn chair and relax with the kids or sunbathe! We see it as a country beach.

This park is an absolute masterpiece. I will write a list of what it has going for it.Well manicured trees that have the whole vertical line effect if you are taking pictures.An immaculate view of the river and the large cliffs, or bluffs, on the other side. Can you say Kodak moment?A place for RVs.Several shaded places with fire places in them for gatherings.A wooden pier for fishing.

Nice place to just sit and relax

Beautiful view of the Tenn. River. Campground is nice. The bathhouse needs upgrading and cleaned regularly. Dirty shower curtains & floors. Recycled showers from prison?

Relaxing and peaceful place to sit and contemplate things

ITS THE BEST PARK IN FLORENCE ALABAMA!

As a park, I dont go here a lot, as a race course, its the one that starts off any good XC season.

Great place very beautiful

We stayed here one weekend camping and riding in our boat. Very nice area for camping and being close to the water.

Great family area. Swimming, fishing and more.

Great place to relax by the river

Nice quiet place

Always a great place to think

Its a wonderful park!

Nice park good place to swim and fish same for riverfront across the river but beware the alligators are real and they are huge over 6 feet

Beautiful park by the Tennessee River!

Great spot!!! Love it!!!&

Last week my son had a college bass tournament on Pickwick, so he wanted to carry a popup camper to McFarland and camp for the week. The park does not let you reserve a spot unless you are there with your camper. So you have to pull it there and hope that you get lucky that it is not full. He got lucky to get a spot. Sunday night(5/19/19) they had a shoot out near the boat launch. We go up there to get the camper on Friday as we are packing up a couple ask if we were leaving and wanted to put a tent up on our spot no problem with that except the park manger would not allow them to do that to reserve it for their friends. When leaving I see kids play tents holding RV lots so it depends who you are. Also on Memorial Week restrooms in the middle of the park closed for construction???? Florence you need someone to manger your park!!!!

I always enjoy a visit here. Strolling, the river, riding my bike or just hanging in a hammock.

The park itself is beautiful. The river view of the cliffs are outstanding. We have been here almost a week staying in the campground. We are in a full hookup, so I cant speak for the bath and laundry because we havent needed it but it looks outdated. Other than that its very nice.

Fun place to swim

Love it

The campground is located right on the river and is attached to a very nice city park. Theres also a boat launch and marina with restaurant within walking distance. The sites were level and all have a picnic table. Some sites have grills as well. You can choose a site by the river with no trees for shade or shaded sites that are a little farther from the river. Reasonable rates at just $25 a night as of 9/2016. I would highly recommend this place. Its quiet but yet still so close to downtown Florence and all the restaurants, bars and shopping.

Nice place to stay. They have sites for primitive camping, full hook ups for campers and rvs, as well as tepee rentals. The staff is friendly and very helpful.

We stayed in the campground here in this park and it was lovely. We have a 45 foot motor home and we could fit in several of the spots here. Its full hook up at all the sites (except tent sites) and its right on the Tennessee River for only $23 bucks a night. The park itself is nice but nothing special. It has a boat launch, disc golf and a driving range. No admission fee which is nice. Its quiet here which is nice for a campground. Its location is close to everything in the area. Wed definitely stay here again if in the area.

A pleasant space along the Tennessee River that stretches out from the marina. There are campgrounds, picnic tables and shelters, soccer fields, etc., and in the warm months frequently a festival or smaller group gatherings. The parks best feature, though, is the view it affords of the Tennessee River as you walk from one end to the other, gazing at limestone cliffs across a waterway where barges quietly push enormous containers down river.

We stayed here for 1 month. Lovely park. Staff was so gracious and helpful. Convenience was perfect to restaurants and stores. Watching the barges on the river was so relaxing. I would highly recommend!

I am rating this Campground a one in hopes that it gets the attention of those who can take action and make changes. This is a very nice campground on the river. The bathrooms are substandard!!!!! The pushbutton showers are slightly warm and cold with no rhyme or reason. The bathrooms are not ventilated so when it hits 90° it’s unbearable, the floors are disgusting, the shower curtains are ripped when they exist. As popular and busy as this campground is, generating a very decent income, there is no excuse for the lack of upgrade to this single bathroom that serves the entire campground. We appreciated the senior rate and the extremely friendly Campground receptionist as well as our nice campsite with water view. The visitor’s center is TOP RATE!

Peaceful

Too many noisy people not cool some people just dont know how mine their own business its everywhere

90% all sites were underwater after night rain. No grills unless you were on a campsite. Nice river view . Campsites stacked like sardines and pathway thru was bottle necked with only one exit.

Very much a positive experience. From time to time the bathrooms were a little less than desired but still far better than most. I spent the autumn months here and the view over the water with early morning fog rolling across is breathtaking. Literally one morning I was FREEZING in my tent and opened up the door to run to the bathroom, saw the view and just stood there in awe, for a few moments I forgot how cold I was. Well worth the $12 a day.If I had to find a complaint, long term campers should receive a discount. $12 x 30 days x 3 months = $1080.Even with that said, still amazing.

Had planned on tenting next to friends in an RV Spot.Guy walks upHim: Hey whats this all about?Me: What do you meanThis points at my tentOh, thats my tentWhats it doing here?Well was planning on sleeping in it tonightYou cant do thatWhy notCause you havent paidOh, I though a tent spot was included in the RV rentalOnly if theyre kidsReally, ok, Ill paySir come with me to the officeHim: Sir , since youre not staying in the primitive tent spots, youll have to pay 25But Im sharing with my friends whove already paid 25Youll have to pay another 25But primitive camping is only 12Sir if youd like to move your tent to primitive camping, Ill charge you 12But my tent is already set upIm sorry thats the rulesFound the camp rules/regs that reads a rented RV and/or tent may be located in each spot, and pointed out to the curmudgeonWhat exactly does and mean there?Thats only for kidsBut your guidelines say nothing about being child specificIf you dont pay 25 youll have to leave. And then the cops will Come.Me: paid my 25. Dude was a jerk and a borderline extortionist.Will never stay there again

Have rent camped in the river several times. Very pretty and amenities are good.

These people are a joke ,they work on the good ole boy system

You can fish grill out camp swim boating dock playground restaurant restrooms bring a hammock

Nice park. Just watch out for the guy on the green mule with a ponytail hes a bastard other than that good place

The river side of the park is beautiful, but most of the camping is on the swamp side. Its disgusting, especially for the items that have been dumped in it.

Cant count on a spot since there are no reservations. Completely messed up our plans for the high school fishing tournament. Luckily Heritage Acres RV park was about 10 miles away and had a spot.

Very pretty but they need to fix the fishing dock by the rv camp...

Beautiful area to spend the day.

Very clean, beautiful park

I all ways have a good time hear

As stated earlier, campground hosts are curmudgeons. Wouldnt stay here again because of them.

Beautiful

Beautiful & peaceful

I wish there was a better beach

Always beautiful and clean

SO NICE AND FUN!!!!!:-)

Except for the bathroom? Floors are filthy.

Great view of the Tennessee River
