Early April, 2025. Burchfield Branch Park Campground, near Brookwood, Alabama, is administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers. It is open to the public, with advance reservations required and made through Recreation.gov. Burchfield is near Holt Lake on the Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway, and offers camping, boating, swimming, a large playground, picnicking, and more. The campground has 36 sites, most with electric and water hookups; tent camping is also allowed. There are also showers, a dump station, and trash receptacles. We camped at picturesque site #2, a back-in site along the Warrior River. The site was 45' long and paved, with a picnic table and electric and water hookups. No issues for us to access this site in a 20' class B, but it might have been challenging to maneuver in a large RV. Many sites are tight and close together, but we still had privacy as the sites on both sides of us were empty. The price was excellent, $28 with hook ups, and only $14 for holders of the NPS Senior Pass. We regrettably stayed here for only one night, which was an error in planning on our part. We were traveling between Montgomery and Birmingham, AL, not fully appreciating how remote and off the beaten path this campground is. It's many, many miles off the interstate, requires you to travel down many narrow roads, and is far, far away from cell service and basic amenities (groceries, gasoline, restaurants, etc.). Our journey also took us through miles and miles of desolate land that is being mined. And, did I mention that it was pouring rain for hours of our journey? This resulted in a very wet campground so we cocooned in our RV, not really enjoying our surroundings or what the campground offered. We were on our way to Birmingham the following morning. In retrospect, we should've stayed closer to Birmingham, or at least stayed longer to enjoy the campground. Be sure to note that advanced reservations are required, and the gate is locked at night for safety so be sure to arrive before closing. The coordinates for the park are: 33.43896,-87.36165. read more
