Foscue Creek Park — Hotel in Demopolis

02/12/2018 Thru 01/19/2012

Foscue Park is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Arrived in the rain and the ranger booth was empty but a number indicated help was not far away. Sure enough after a short call a friendly volunteer arrived to check me in and give me much needed information about where to park, gate hours, etc.

Roads through the park where plenty wide enough for my 35’ 5th wheel. Easy angled back in to a very level concrete pad. Power, water, septic all easy hookup. Everything was in really good condition. Beside the parking pad, pea gravel outdoor area with fire ring, lantern pole, aluminum picnic table and another really handy small wooden table. Nicely done. I did learn after a few days that the pea gravel would stick to your shoes and was easy to track into the coach. Next time I will try to park leaving some of the concrete pad right in front of the steps. Live and learn.

Our spot was overlooking the water with a wonderful view. There was adequate vegetation between sites to give good privacy. All in all, a very good start.

I did a considerable amount of bird watching and spotted a number of birds to check off in my book. Fished with a new found friend but we did not catch anything. The place seems geared around fishing and waterspouts so we may have just hit a slow time.

We were rather disappointed to learn that the laundry facilities were not functional. A Google search of the local town, Demopolis, indicated very low star ratings of the local laundry mats. We did however find a laundry mat not shown on Google maps on Hwy 80 at the eastern part of town with good machines that got the job done.

The park appears to have one dumpster location for the camp area and is a nice little hike from the park end, a little exercise is good anyway. We did not use the bath facilities but we did look and everything seemed pretty clean, so no worries if needed.

The various camp host rotated around and all were very friendly and helpful not only about the campground but different things in town.

The people in the town of Demopolis were all very friendly. Good conversation could be had in Walmart, the laundry mat, or the local tire store. Just a friendly town.

The camping was $13.00 per day with our America the Beautiful Senior Pass.

The only ding was the lack of operational laundry facilities. I would most...

This is an Army COE park.most sites have full hookups & most are on the water. The site has metal picnic table & benches (bring canopy if possible). Grill charcoal, fire ring, lantern pole, very nice concrete pad for parking, very lg picnic area by RV, fish cleaning station at your site but does not smell.there are two bathhouses. The BH was clean, but older. 3 toilets and 2 showers. Lots of grassy areas. The park also has a boatramp, only saw small boats on the waterway. City of Demopilus is very close in case you need something. Several restaurants & a Walmart near. Traffic was very mild even at peak traffic hrs. Sit back watch the fish jump & the turtles sunbathe on logs or swim. You can fish on bank or bring your boat. We will be back. Can't wait for our return. Staff was great. Hiking trails. Very good roads...

I love this park. I grew up going here. It's always pretty and full of things to do. The biggest is you can go camping here. There is a fee but you can either pitch a tent or bring your camper. There is a river so you can either bring your boat or stand on the landing and fish. There are also picnic tables and grills so you can cook out. If you want to have a party you can rent a pavilion, they have different sizes. They also have walking trails. They aren't extreme but they do go through the woods. This park also has a playground for kids. There is something for everyone here and you can spend a day or just a few hours. Plenty of trees for shade and a few water fountains around the park. People also ride bikes here...
