White Oak Campground, Eufaula, AL

WHITE OAK CAMPGROUND
RUN BY: Corp of Engineers
LOCATION: Eufaula, AL


UTILITIES: Water and Electric (30-50A)
COST: $24

OUR RATING (1-5): I-4.0

NOTES: This east-central Alabama COE campground easily maintained the COE reputation for excellence. We just wished that we were able to stay more than over-night. It is a small recreation area at the point White Oak Creek enters the Walter F George Reservoir. Georgia is on the other side of the lake. If you like just to sit and look at a beautiful lake or fish, this is a campground for you. There is no hiking and almost no biking (just riding around the camping loop) without going out on the highway.

Environment: Beautifully wooded and on the water
Amenities: Bathhouses with hot water & heat. Not sure if they have a laundry, but most of the COE campgrounds we have visited do have laundry.
Phone Service: Good Verizon
Location: On Walter F George Reservoir by Eufaula, AL. On AL-95 a couple of minutes off US-431.
Proximity to shopping: Minutes from Eufaula. A big Walmart Superstore nearby if you like Wally-World.
Camping Population: Unknown since there were so few of us there during December.
Sites: Really nice paved sites. Leveling is easy. Most have view of the lake even if they're not right on the lake.



======================================================================

Categories: I - established campgrounds where one might spend a vacation or several days
II - boondocking, dry camping where there are no designated sites and no amenities but
one might choose to stay for more than a night.

You must remember that we are scoring 1 thru 5 according to things which are important to us: the environment, cost, amenities, location, safety, camping population, site, phone service
