Jennings Ferry Campground near Eutaw, Alabama, was exactly the peaceful retreat we needed after leaving the constant noise of our previous stay near Chattanooga. Nestled along the Black Warrior and Tombigbee Rivers, this U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campground welcomed us with beautifully maintained grounds, spacious sites, and the kind of quiet that reminds you why you chose the RV lifestyle in the first place. Although we only stayed one night, we left wishing we had planned several more. At just $14 per night with our America the Beautiful Pass, it also proved that some of the best camping experiences don't have to come with a high price tag.

Ratings: Based on Personal Stay and Observations
Our reviews are based on our personal experience during our stay. Campgrounds can change ownership, policies, amenities, and pricing over time, so we encourage you to verify current information before booking.
There were very few campers during our stay, which only added to the peaceful atmosphere of this beautiful campground. We stayed in Site 40, a spacious pull-through that was level and incredibly easy to set up on. It was more than long enough to accommodate Big Bertha and our truck, with plenty of extra room to spare. Had the weather cooperated, we would have had ample space to open our patio and enjoy the outdoors.
The campground hosts were friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. One of the volunteers even called us on the day of our arrival to let us know our site was ready and that we were welcome to check in before the official 4:00 p.m. check-in time. Throughout the campground, it was obvious the volunteer hosts take great pride in keeping the grounds clean, well-maintained, and inviting.

Memorable Moments & Insights
Sometimes the most memorable campgrounds aren't the ones with endless amenities—they're the ones that give you exactly what you need. After weeks of traffic, noise, and busy campgrounds, Jennings Ferry offered us something we hadn't realized we were missing: peace and quiet. It was one of those places where you immediately feel yourself slow down, and by the time we pulled out the next morning, we were already talking about coming back for a longer stay. Next time, we plan to give ourselves enough time to truly enjoy everything this beautiful Corps of Engineers campground has to offer.
DISCOVER THE LOCAL CHARM
Nearby Conveniences & Attractions
While Jennings Ferry feels wonderfully secluded, you won't be completely isolated. The town of Eutaw is about 10 minutes away, where you'll find a Piggly Wiggly for groceries, Dollar General, convenience stores, fuel, and a handful of local restaurants if you need supplies during a longer stay.
The real attraction, however, is the campground itself. Situated between the Black Warrior River and Clear Creek, Jennings Ferry is an excellent destination for fishing, boating, kayaking, wildlife watching, and simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The campground also features a half-mile nature trail that follows the water's edge, making it easy to stretch your legs without ever leaving the park.
Best For: RVers looking to slow down and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. Jennings Ferry is an excellent choice for couples, retirees, anglers, kayakers, and anyone who appreciates spacious sites, beautiful surroundings, and a relaxing atmosphere. It's also a perfect overnight stop for travelers passing through the area, though we think it's even better if you can stay a few days and truly enjoy everything the campground has to offer.
