Lakefront 3-5 hours from Mobile, AL????

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!!!

    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.

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

    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.
