Kenneth Olivo3 months ago

This campground is great!! We arrived 1 day early for our 3 night stay .They woman in the office was extremely accommodating and said that it wasn't a problem. When it came time for us to leave , I went into the office and told her that our plans had changed and asked if it would be possible for us to stay 3 more nights. I was willing to move to a different site and she told me that I didn't need to move. The bath house is spotless!!! I can't thank the management enough for the wonderful experience we had!!! Also the dog park has 2 sections and is huge.

Huge area to take your furry friends to! I noticed a lot of people don't pay attention to their pets though, and they end up leaving their pets poop. Be prepared to watch and pick up your pets poop. There's signs around the park to notify dog owners of this.

Great place for hiking, cycling and dog walking. Only negative is there are no readily available waste receptacles when walking the dogs. Be prepared to carry your poop bags for a while.

We had a great time at the Dothan Area Botanical Gardens, especially during the Scarecrows in the Gardens exhibition. The scarecrows were creative and fun to find—our kids loved spotting their favorites along the paths. The gardens are beautiful, peaceful, and very family-friendly. There's a dedicated children’s area, wide open paths, and plenty of space to explore without feeling crowded. Everything was clean and well-maintained, making it easy to relax and enjoy the day. It’s a perfect spot for a calm, outdoor family outing—especially during seasonal events like this one!
