Hi. Hubby and I live on the Eastern Shore of Mobile, Alabama & am looking for a lakefront campground (lake not Gulf) within a 3-5 hour drive from home. Any suggestions in Alabama, Mississippi, or Georgia? We are looking for a campground with sites right on the water where we can fish from our site. Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!Though I'm now a Colorado boy, I was born and reared in Alabama! If you're willing to travel a bit to the north end of the state, there's lots of good areas around Guntersville and Scottsboro.

You didn't mention New Orleans, but Pontchartrain landing has spots on lake Pontchartrain.

Thank you!!!Did a search with TripAdvisor.com and found River Country Campground in Gadsen, AL north of you. The sites on the river are only $2 more per night according to one reviewer. It received good ratings.http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g30549-d264874-Reviews-River_Country_Campground-Gadsden_Alabama.html

Wind Creek SP in Alexander City,AL is our favorite place to camp. Over 500 sites with a hundred on the water. Clean bath houses and on a beautiful lake. Check out Alaparks.com.

Look up Millers Ferry, in Camden Al. Service park in Coffeeville Al. Foscue Creek in Demopolis Al.
There is a host of COE parks along the river.

Look on Rec.gov for Corp. of Engineer parks on the Alabama River Lakes, Black Warrior and Tombigbee Lakes. Should find what you want.

X2 for Wind Creek St.Pk. on Lake Martin Ala. Clear warm water. Most of the 300+ Water/Electric sites are on the water & spaced well apart.

Lake Guntersville SP. We wound up there by chance back in 2006 and loved it. Hope to get back some day.
