Deerlick Campground is a hidden gem. We camped here for two nights on our way home after picking up our new fifth wheel in north Alabama. We lucked up by choosing this campground. It honestly reminds me of camping in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. The staff here went out if their way to make sure we were taken care of. They offered free firewood since they had an abundance. We camped in site 23 with a 35’ fifth wheel. I had to maneuver the unit a few times to get it aligned where the slide would open, but the site is nice with a fire pit, picnic table, and grill. There’s 30 and 50 amp power and water hookup but no sewer. There is a dump station less than 300 yards from site 23. The bathhouse is directly across from site 23 as well. We’ve seen several deer along the roadway. Deerlick has plenty of trails and a couple of them are paved. We will definitely be returning to camp here

We arrived after dark on a Friday night and had no trouble finding our site. The campsite was spacious and almost at the end of a cul-de-sac so it was very quiet. We really enjoyed views of the water and the very clean multi level site perched on the bluff. Sites 36-40 are situated after a sharp hairpin turn and seemed to be a tighter fit for larger rigs. We have a 15’ trailer so we had no issues. I would definitely camp here again!

When you get to the campground, everythig is vdery clean & neat. We watched the ranger cleaning sites after people pull out The sites are tight and small. With many in the River Bluff loop you may find your tow/toad is in the street. Also understand that you may need to head in the opposite direction & turn around when you leave.

Great rate with National Park Access Pass. Quiet campground with nice walking trails, docks for fishing, clean bath house (excellent water pressure & super hot water), a basketball court, cell service for T mobile. We stayed for our first ever RV experience in our new camper. It was extremely quiet even thought there were a lot of people. The camp host was very nice and came over to offer encouragement, advice and help in getting out of a tight fit. We have a 41 ft fifth wheel and some of the spots that seem like they would be OK online are very tight. We took spot 5, a 115' pull through, and would not pick that one again as the curve was too extreme - we did fit after quite a bit of maneuvering to fit slides and utility hookups but it took a while. There is also an entire section that is only for very small trailers so you might want to call first if you are on the larger size. Water and electric only.

Got here and was disappointed to find the park closed while come work was done.
Not anyone's fault but want to give others the heads up so you can plan accordingly
Looked really nice through, I walked through it because I need to stretch the legs

This is asking for vandalism. This campground is in a remote area so apparently emergencies ate not supposed to happen. How would we get ambulance in after hours. I don't understand locked gates to start with and this is ridiculous..

I will second the review by WanderingDawgs and say this CG is beautiful. Not only is every site meticulously designed and beautifully maintained but you truly feel as if you are the only campers. Our site was on a bluff overlooking the lake in the LRID (Laurel something-it's at the end on the upper level) but there are sites down the hill which are closer to the lake and just as private. Our 33' class A had no trouble backing in but there are several pull throughs for larger rigs. Electric and water at the site with dump on the way out.
There are several walking/biking trails throughout the park.
The bathrooms are clean and showers good with adequate pressure.
The thing is you are only 7 miles (10 minutes) from town-a little longer if you go to midtown Tuscaloosa.
There is some noise at night from the dam but it's more like white noise than disturbing and during the day there may be helicopters over the dam.
We liked this CG so much we are rerouting our travels to come back through it on our way to FL this fall.
