We were allowed to go to our site early since the previous camper for the site was a no show, which the contracted hosts weren’t aware of until they called him to see if he’d checked out already.
The picnic table was horrible with rotted wood, and I’m not sure what the hosts here are supposed to do, but our site gravel needed raking to fill a muddy low spot. I called the hosts and they brought US a rake to use while they watched. Maybe things have changed since we hosted COE campgrounds the past 3 years but we cleaned every site and raked them.

Other than boating/fishing, there isn’t much to do at this bargain camp (if you have an Access Pass it’s $13/night). The 3.5 mi trail is closed due to bridges being out for the last year.

Other than boating/fishing, there isn’t much to do at this bargain camp (if you have an Access Pass it’s $13/night). The 3.5 mi trail is closed due to bridges being out for the last year. Walking the entire campground with all the loops will be almost five miles. Road biking on county roads is pleasant even though the speeds are high, but there is little traffic and drivers seem considerate. Verizon connection ok—2 bars LTE. Dozens of OTA tv stations.
There is quite a difference in condition of the two Loops.
Catoma (1-75) Loop has a smooth asphalt road and concrete pads. One of the two bathhouses is modern and the coin operated laundry is open. The sites appear more spacious. The dump water spigot does not have a hose.
Antioch (76-142) Loop’s road is badly pot-holed and sites are gravel. Its bathhouse is dated and grungy. The laundry is closed. There are inadequate garbage cans and dumpsters. All were overflowing on my stay. The dump does have a hose.

On a whim, I booked this campground around 5 o’clock on a Friday night. It was the second time I’ve been here. It is a stellar campground and I have had a great experience at every COE campground I’ve visited. With the America the Beautiful pass, you get it for $15, which can’t be beat for power, water and sewer!

Great campground with full hookups and plenty of space between their HUGE 70'+ long concrete pads. Campendium reports three bars of Verizon, but we could only get one. Still worth it.

Plenty of space between each of these HUGE paved sites. No worry about being close to the road, these 70"+ sites let you get back into the woods. Campendium reports three bars of Verizon, but we were only able to get one.

This is a Army Corps of Engineer's campground. There are two loops, the Antioch and the Catoma. The Catoma loops sites have sewer, Antioch is power and water only. Most of Antioch is gravel, Catoma is paved with concrete pads. I stayed in Catoma, site 68, which was pretty level and very nice. I did not use the restrooms/showers, but I did notice they had a few coin-op washers and dryers.
Cell signal was marginal, I usually got 1 or sometimes 2 bars of AT&T LTE service.
There are not many trails through this campground, especially connecting the Antioch and Catoma loops. I rode my bike around the whole campground and it was maybe 6 miles. I also put my kayak in the water here, although getting down to the water is sometimes a challenge due to the brush. Catoma site 5 has a nice trail to access the water. Antioch has a paved boat launch with a dock, so on that side, it may be easier to just use the boat launch.
The gate never closes, so you can come and go as needed. The problem is, there isn't much of anyplace to go. There is a Dollar General not too far away, but for grocery stores or restaurants, you'll have to drive 15-20 miles to get to Prattville or Montgomery.
Montgomery Speedway is less than a mile away and the noise from the race cars is pretty loud, but that is only on Saturday nights, as far as I can tell.

Great layout of sites. Good privacy with shade. Sites are deep and wide on newer section. All sites are full hookups in newer area, with water/electric in old area. Newer Catoma side is fully paved. Older Antioch area is not. Large bathhouse is air conditioned in both sides of the campground. The smaller bathhouse in the Catoma side is NOT air conditioned. Cell service from both ATT and Verizon is almost nonexistent. No problems texting but searching and app usage is sporadic. Late night access sometimes improves for YouTube viewing, etc. This is mosquito heaven due to the densely forested setting, so be prepared.
We like the campground. This is our third visit. We would recommend camping here in the spring, fall and winter- not so much in the summer.
