This is probably one of the nicest, scenic state parks we have ever stayed in. It defiantly rivals our great Texas state parks. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, even after closing when we arrived late at night. The roads were black top and the sites had level black top RV pads as well. The full hook-up utilities were in good shape and well positioned on the site. Local TV reception from Huntsville was very good. There were plenty of trees so the sites were completely shaded. The sites were very large and roomy. There was plenty of privacy between sites. The rest rooms were decent, but were the typical state park flavor. This was not an issue for us because we were using the full hook-ups. There was a great swimming hole over at the day area. Only problem here was you had to drive to get to it because it was too far to walk with lawn chairs, towels, ice chest etc. Price was $19 per night. We highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is one of our favorite campgrounds. Nice, clean, and lots of places to hike and roam. The sites are shady and very roomy. Right on the river. My kids love this place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The campground has three loops in a wooded setting. The access roads are paved as well as the sites. Leveling is required at the site. For a large campground, it was quiet. Plenty of shade, birds, and deer. The fee is $18 plus tax which brings the nightly total to $19.80. We would like to return in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We enjoy visiting this park. It is very quite and peaceful. Also, the fishing is good. The sites are nice size and shady. We would recommend this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Joe Wheeler is a beautiful state park in which all but two or three of the RV sites have full hookups. The campground is big-rig friendly, having multiple sites that can handle rigs in the 30-40' range. However, the park is older and the electrical boxes and are getting worn out. On our first trip there in 2003, the park maintenance personnel had to replace the 30-Amp receptacle shortly after we arrived. Just check it to be sure that your plug fits snuggly. Otherwise, the park seems to be in slightly better-than-average condition in regards to mechanicals. The best loop is the last one, as it has water front sites and easy access to fishing. The marina has pontoon boats for rent, which are a great way to see the lake. The NASA Space Center is also a short day trip away in Huntsville. I highly recommend this park, but be forewarned that it can get a little noisy on the weekends when some partiers and small children arrive. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Sites are mostly wooded. Many of the large pull-through sites require that you have blocks to raise the front of your rv. The park is about 3 miles from groceries and propane. The park has swimming, tennis, golf, a marina, and a lodge although not on the campground proper. Campground divided into three loops, all which could be navigated easily with our 35' fifth wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The campground was quiet, we had a nice spot, the swimming beach area was nice. The bathhouse at the swimming area was clean but needs work done to it. The bathhouse in the loop we stayed in needed a little work. The pavilion on that loop needed a little work. Some of the sites the dirt was washing away from the pads causing a little dropdown. We did enjoy our stay though. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great campground for relaxing or close enough to town to go shopping. Good fishing , tennis, basketball courts, golf, and hiking trails. Has a lodge and marina w/resturant. Restrooms are clean and plentiful. Good level sites most with concrete pads. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
