Burchfield Branch Park is located near Holt Lake on the Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway northeast of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. With many amenities, access to the water and opportunities to view wildlife, Burchfield Branch provides a convenient camping spot for families, boaters, swimmers, picnickers and sightseers.
Fishing is the most popular activity on the waterway. Whether fishing by boat or along the shore of the park, anglers can find bass, crappie, bream, catfish and more.
Families can enjoy biking and swimming along the lakeshore, watching for birds and animals or taking advantage of the facility's two playgrounds.
Burchfield Branch Park has 36 sites with electric and water hookups, as well as one reservable group picnic shelter for day use. RV campers have the convenience of hot showers, a dump station and trash receptacles.
Holt Lake was created by the damming of the Black Warrior River. The campground is situated along the forested shores of the river and displays scenic fall foliage each year. Deer, squirrel, wild turkey, migratory birds and blue birds live around the Holt Lake area.

It's a awesome place to go get away with your family. The whole park is very nice and the people that run it are so sweet they make you feel right at home
This is definitely one of the better ACOE campgrounds I have stayed at. The shower facilities were well-maintained and clean. The campground sites are also well-maintained. Had 0 issues checking in and the couple working there were very friendly. We will definitely be back.
Beautiful, private, stunning views, a 10 out of 10 on campsites. The sites are gorgeous, huge, so much space between campsites. Very friendly staff. Be warned tho, it's remote, no internet.
Nice and quiet! We didn't have cell service and it was a 30 minute drive to the store for supplies. The park was so nice and the people that host here are awesome. It was absolutely beautiful. We also enjoyed watching the huge barges come by each day. We stayed 3 weeks here.
If you can handle no cell, internet or satellite signals, then this is a beautiful park. It is way out in the boonies, but that is part of the appeal. People were so nice. Shout out to Mr. Larry Harris.
