We camped at the Gunter Hill Campground in a Class B RV in late March, 2025. Administered by the…read moreU.S. Corps of Engineers, there is much to love about this campground. There are 142 camping sites, with those numbered 1-75 having been improved. Our site was waterfront on the backwaters of the Alabama River, which offered tranquil scenic views and entertainment as we watched boats pass. The setting was natural, with many trees. Our site was huge, with a long, flat, and paved pad. The site had a picnic table, and full hook-ups. As a federal campground, the prices ($30, with hookups) were reasonable, especially with a 50% discount ($15) for holders of the NPS Senior pass. The campground has a nice playground for the kids, and laundry facilities. Plus, it's in relatively close proximity to Montgomery. One point off on my rating for two reasons -- (1) the campground is across the street from the Montgomery Motor Speedway. Unfortunately, there was a race on the evening when we were there, and there was a lot of noise from the racetrack although it did end before our sleep time. Otherwise, the campground would've been very peaceful. (2) the showers/restrooms are centralized, and quite a trek from our site. We definitely recommend this campground, and would return if we visit Alabama again.

An absolutely beautiful location…read more I have been to numerous MWR sites over the past 45 years and this is by far the worse. Driving onto the property one can see the neglect. The road is in rough condition. Public areas while generous are in the same run down-shape. Even the floaters at the beach are sinking. The cabin was dirty, I cannot believe any staff had been thru the property. Blinds broken as were chair and screen on the porch. Nasty rag sitting on toilet. Then there was a civilian truck being worked on in the equipment garage?? Misappropriation? Researching on line initially one site said the property was closed until 4/1. I could go on...to what point? Believe that chain of command shown on the office wall needs to make a visit!!

I called to make sure there was space to camp before riding 5 hours on a motorcycle with my son who…read morewas excited to see the goats and movie set. The gentleman that answered the phone said there was space and told us to try to be there before dark. We arrived at 6:30pm, which was after dark, and were told we couldn't camp because he had locked the gate. It would have been helpful if he had told me on the phone not to bother coming if we were going to be there 30 minutes after dark instead of saying "try to be here before dark". We are now in a hotel in Montgomery. Thanks a lot.

Luckily, we paid, and were then calling the phone number to get the code, when someone who was camping pulled up behind us and put the code in for us. The small road bridge leading from the main land to the island was a little scary for me. Good thing there wasn't a car coming the other way, or I would have freaked out even more. This land is wonderful. I could see the appeal to kayak, fish, or have a picnic here, or even camp here. We stopped at the bathrooms first, and they are clean and provide running water. On our drive to the town of Spectre, we ran into the goats. We were driving down the road and all of the goats were coming at us. We put the car in park and enjoyed the goats. One goat even jumped up on my door to say hello. They are fabulous and very friendly. When we exited the vehicle at the Spectre movie set, a super friendly goat was charging at me, I immediately went into the car and the goat approached my boyfriend. All the goat wanted was some pets. And that's what he got. They are like large dogs. There are swing benches around the lake and it is nice to sit and enjoy the scenery. Watch out for goat poop. That is the only bad thing. The goats keep the island well manicured and provide the best entertainment and are adorable.

If we are ever back in the area, we will stay again. We were on a motorcycle with a popup camper, so always call and check, when the website is a little gray on what kind of campers are allowed.

We've had mixed luck at this campground. I'm under the impression that you're going to have the…read morebest luck if you're passing through vs. staying for a few weeks or longer. The first season we stayed, it went pretty well but this was also while it was cold outdoors, rainy and we were running on our own propane supply. This summer, however, we ultimately decided to uproot and find another park. Now, I will say Gigi and Don are nice enough people and they do try to keep their park up. We don't have any complaints about the grounds itself. Or the patrons. However, it stands to reason that the upper part of park is going to require more power usage from patrons because it has no shade at all. Our RV is metal, not wood. Before it had even reached the 80s, we were already getting complaints about the amount of power we were using to keep our RV cool (with the AC set in the 80s). Even though we were paying every penny of the "extra" electricity. I eventually had the electrical system checked out, as they had suggested, and found that, as you'd expect, putting a metal RV in the baking Alabama sun is going to result in a hot metal RV. By the 2nd month, we were over it and decided to move parks. We're now in Wetumpka, right on the lake, rent is under $500 a month and we're not paying for electricity separately. Additionally, this campground and the groundskeep aren't causing us undue anxiety simply because we're trying to survive the summer. So, this is where we're going to be staying from now on when we're in the area. I suggest others consider looking just outside of Prattville for a better deal and more consideration.

My husband and I are traveling a we happened to sea this on our phones. Our original place we were going to stay fell-through. So we got on our phone scrambling to find a place to stay, it was getting late. There was Prairie Creek. We were only going to stay one night, we will be staying a total of 4 nights. Very nice, clean, quiet and serene, beautiful any way you look at it. A great plus, restrooms, showers, laundry, hookups (electric and water), cement pads for RV's, tables, fire-pits, grills, docks, boat launches, tent spaces and more. Gotta come check it out if you haven't been here. I give this a 4 1/2 star because no sewer hookups. It's a hassle to hook up your Trailer and take it to the dump-station. So, I guess it gets a 5 star.

The sites are spacious and the lake side very level. In the trees they do get out of level due to roots. The sites are also very clean and maintained. This place obviously has the lake but also a mini golf and archery range. There is a separate spot to camp with horses so I'm assuming trails to ride. WiFi seemed better than most parks but we use Starlink due to the normal lack luster WiFi at tv parks. There is also a store that seems pretty well stocked. We absolutely will be back this place is great.

With the new owner improvements are possible; hopefully. As the park is currently you get a site with working hookups and enough room to keep your truck attached to your trailer so it's good for the night. They have a handful of trailers here that have seen much, much better days. They are also very close (we walked) to Bass Pro and other businesses. It is unlikely we would stay here again.

There were free snacks in the office and they set us up with a cool fire pit and firewood already at our campsite. There is a nice pool on property that we did not visit and to catch and release ponds. The park even handles propane refills, and will pick up your propane tank. Fill it and bring it back. The park was very quiet and well maintained although you can hear some red noise from Hwy 231. We did not take advantage of the bathhouse so I cannot comment, but there is only one available. This is not an issue for us because of the full sewer hook up.
