Millers Ferry Campground, also known as East Bank, is located on scenic Dannelly Reservoir in Alabama's Black Prairie Belt. The reservoir sits on the Alabama River and covers roughly 27 square miles, boasting more than 500 miles of shoreline.
Boating, fishing, hunting and hiking are popular activities.
The park offers excellent fishing for bass, crappie, bluegill and catfish, and numerous fishing tournaments and annual festivals are held in the immediate area.
Whitetail deer and wild turkeys roam the park, creating excellent bow-hunting opportunities.
This campground offers 42 family sites with electric hookups. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, drinking water, laundry facilities and a dump station.
A fishing dock, boat ramp, fish cleaning stations and playground provide additional recreation opportunities for guests.
The Black Prairie Belt is characterized by rich, dark soils and a mosaic of rolling grasslands and dense hardwood and pine forests.
From Camden, Alabama, take State Route 28 northwest for 12 miles. Turn right before the Lee Long Bridge and follow signs into the campground.
We enjoyed our stay at Miller’s Ferry Campground. The site I booked online was much too far from a restroom/shower but the campground host was friendly and moved us to the campsite we requested. The campsites are spacious and well maintained. The ones on the water have beautiful views and ours even had a dock! There are only 2 restrooms/showers and they are very far away from a lot of the sites. The bathhouse we were close to, however, was kept very clean. The laundry was clean and only costs $1 each. We would give five stars if so many sites weren’t so far from restrooms/showers. We will come back.
We camped at a beautiful site on the water. Everything was clean and well taken care of. There was a maintenance crew working on repairs here and there. At the entrance was a very large play area with some swings and a slide. At the far end was a new playground and newer bathroom facilities. Not very busy when we arrived but most sites were filled when we departed. It's a "hidden gem" among campsite
Camp host was rude. Checked my access pass and said nothing. Saw him later and asked where the bathroom f acilities were, he curtly said "Up the hill ". It looked like an abandoned shack. I found the other facilities later. Neither bathroom facilities had doors on the showers and they were all very dirty. The site I was on had a large deck. There were nails and boards loose and sticking out. This campground seems to have a lot of deferred maintenance. I won't go there again and can't in good conscience recommend it.
This campground was well maintained and pretty. Almost all the camp sites are on the water, and some have their own pier. It's spread out to several areas, with beautiful oak trees with moss on them, a playground, and a bathhouse. Very southern.
Ita a beautiful campground and you can't beat the price. Lots are mostly huge and pretty separated with 50amp and water. The showers are only slightly creepy and laundry is a very reasonable price. BE AWARE OF THE ANTS! We've been fighting them the entire stay. There's not much to do here other than hope to catch a fish and there is a boat ramp. The water is a bit creepy for this Michigander to swim in. It is very clean and folks around are friendly. Give it a try but be ready for the ants!
