Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights2 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.
Prairie Creek Campground sits beneath moss-draped live oaks along the shore of Woodruff Lake, a stretch of the Alabama River that runs through the region's Black Prairie Belt. The landscape here alternates between rolling grasslands and stands of hardwood and pine, and the campground's waterfront location makes the lake the focal point: anglers come for bass, crappie, bluegill and catfish, boaters and water-skiers use the on-site ramp and dock, and birders and wildlife viewers follow the shoreline and nearby trails.












Length limits vary by campsite.
Dump station on site.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (20,240 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
