What a Jewel!
Exactly what we were looking to find. Sheila and Larry’s property is exceptionally well maintained and very private. The two full hookup sites are close, but not too close. The pavilion is set up, so we didn’t have to bring a lot of extra stuff (table/chairs). It’s so great to see the entire night sky and hear all the country summer bugs and to wake up to the sunshine and birds in the morning. No traffic noise, just nature. A true country experience!
Shiela is a wonderful host! It was just my grandson and myself checking out the site and she stayed a chatted quite a long time. She’s a wealth of information on the area and truly a charismatic worldly woman.
I have only one word of caution, go slow down the drive, there are very large horizontal bumps intentionally carved in the dirt road to keep it from eroding in the Alabama heavy rains. We have a 24.5 ft Class C and I bottomed out a few times. Going back up I had to pick the speed up a bit to get over them.

On the River and disconnected
Nice location on the river. Absolutely awesome pavilion with power, shower and bathroom. Had the place to myself and was so peaceful and relaxing! There is no cell service for miles (at least in the direction I used) and the WiFi up on the hill was great…until it wasn’t. There was a storm that knocked out the power on my second night and no one was able to reboot the modem to get the WiFi back up. With more storms rolling in and no way for me to track them or communicate with anyone for that matter I had to call it a day early. The host was very nice and accommodating. I look forward to going back another time.

Loved that the river ran right beside the campsite and pavilion. The pavilion had lots of tables and chairs that you could sit and enjoy the view of the water, the trees or a beautiful open area, along with a bathroom and outside shower. The host were super nice and checked on us daily. Do be careful on the road down to the site, lots a little hills (to help with water run off I belive), as we did have trouble clearing the bottom of the camper going over them. But this was definitely a weekend of paradise and total relaxation.

Had a nice little weekend camping at Larry and Sheila's place. They were very kind and accommodating during my stay. The site was well-maintained, scenic, and had lots of nice amenities. The whip-por-wills sang and the stars were bright and beautiful.

My wife and I needed a last minute getaway to disconnect. Blackwater Getaway was perfect for us. The campsite is gorgeous and had everything as advertised. Sheila and Larry were exceptional hosts.

Kid and dog approved
You couldn’t ask for kinder or more accommodating hosts! The property is absolutely beautiful. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy nature. Although it’s rural there are great amenities onsite to make it more comfortable while still feeling off grid. Be sure to check out the trading spot and swap goods. We will definitely be back!

My husband & I loved the rv set up. We were next to the pavilion, bathroom & shower. We stayed during the week & we were the only ones there. The property is quiet, private & serene. I feel we have found a private getaway rv spot. Will visit again soon

Super quiet and lovely place.
Camping at Blackwater Getaway was a lot of fun even with all the rain we received. The land is beautiful and the sites are right in the creek bed. Sheila and Larry were awesome hosts and went above and beyond to help us when needed! We loved our stay!

Refreshing river stay.
The land was beautiful. Perfect water access. Could sit under the pavilion and watch the kids play in the water. Plenty of things to do to stay busy, we kayaked , tubed and fished. Sheila and Larry were very accommodating and Made sure we didn’t leave without having a good time. Their hospitality was a “breath of fresh air” just like their property. We’ve left feeling more refreshed than we ever have before after camping.

Lovely, well-loved campsite!
After a highly stressful, busy 15 months leading to the loss of my mother, my husband and I needed to completely escape from the world, our family, and friends to catch our breath and reconnect. We were so happy to find the Blackwater Getaway. It is a beautiful and peaceful setting with excellent rustic amenities you wouldn't expect to find at most private sites. Unfortunately, there is no cell service, but we didn't mind since solitude was the objective of our stay. The host and family are super helpful, friendly, and check in frequently.

Perfect Group Camping Spot
The setup was wonderful and the hosts were very friendly. The river was beautiful and it made camping in the Alabama heat enjoyable. The pavilion really made a difference. The bathroom, shower, grill, fan and electrical outlets will keep you from having to rough it too much. The directions were excellent and the sites were an easy pull through for a small camper. We had a great time.

River camping
We rented the entire site, and couldn’t have been happier with it! Being on the cold river is really the only way to camp in the summertime here - so nice and refreshing! The facilities were just as described and everything worked properly. What we like the most about it was the privacy, being one with nature and being unplugged!

Multi-family Escape
The property was so beautiful and well kept! Short overnight trip to pull the kids and the adults away from technology. We had 4 school aged kids and a teenager with us. It was so great watching them play in the river and on the beaches. They were able to pull away and have a little bit of freedom. We will definitely be back!

Loved it!!!
Enjoyed everything about the visit. The camp was very easy to find as the directions/instructions were clear. We had the place to ourselves, it was perfect. Nice campsites too. The pavilion overlooking the peaceful river was very relaxing. The flush toilet and hot shower were really great too!
The host introduced himself and disappeared...perfect! Our dog even had fun! Will definitely stay again when I'm in the area. Recommended 100%

If you want peace and tranquility go here. Tent camped with 4 kids and a dog we loved it. Even though it was cold we stayed in the water. I will be back. Owners are lovely and when my battery died on my truck the nice neighbor helped .. btw no one around for miles no groceries plan accordingly
