Lake Tholocco RV Park & Campground

We came down 231 from Troy and our GPS wanted to take us in to Fort Rucker on a closed road so be careful with your GPS. The staff was very nice and really wanted us to be happy! This Campground is very secluded in nature and very quiet with the exception of aircraft from time to time. TV reception with our standard RV antenna was slightly broken up from time to time. There are very strict rules here and they are apparently enforced… “Thank Goodness”… because the place is absolutely beautiful, clean, quiet and very well maintained! They have a clean after yourself rule here to include squeegeeing after you use the public shower and I suggest that you follow these rules because the grounds are equipped with video cameras so if you decide to leave a mess then smile you are being filmed and you will be asked to leave! The lots are very roomy, level and with trees as mentioned beautiful place. This place is great both for the elderly (like us) to relax and also for the young family because there are picnic grounds with playgrounds and beach nearby (driving distance not walking distance). The Commissary & Class 6 is well stocked but the PX was a little on the lean side, we were surprised that it is so small. We found Fort Rucker, Dothan and Ozark to be very nice and clean but outside of these we were discouraged with the roadside litter outside of Fort Rucker. The people in this area seem to be very nice, both on post and off post.

What a wonderful place! Sites were great, lake looks wonderful, laundry and restrooms clean, and everything was close by! Wi-fi was weak, good water pressure, and the base was convenient.

W.B. left this review using the Directory software: - The previous positive comments still hold true. The revitalized campground is very nice and big rig friendly. NOTE: They moved the office! You now check in at the marina. They just had the grand opening last weekend of their brand new office/store. They are just getting the store together, but they have fishing gear and snacks so far. Great folks, too.

T.L. left this review using the Directory software: - The present directions are quite confusing. (Ed note: the directions have been updated). Otherwise The campground was a pleasant experience.

We enjoyed our stay in this campground. The site had a nice concrete pad and the campground was very nice. All of the people we interacted with were very friendly. Our GPS did not work with the coordinates, it brought us to a gate that isn't listed. If in the area again, we would definitely stay here.

I have stayed at this campground several times and enjoyed the experience. However, on the last occasion the campsites which have easy to get satellite signals were occupied by rental trailers which did not even use satellite. I believe this was very short sighted of the decision making for rental trailers. My wife does not like to fish so the TV is her only recreation while we stay there and off the air TV is very limited. Other than that I really like the area. Since I never stay beyond 1 black water tank lack of sewer is not a problem.

I live in the area and have stayed here a number of times. The big turn-off to most is the lack of sewer (oh well) and the sad shape of the bathrooms. I was out on a drive lately and went down to the campground. I am happy to report it appears they are building a new, modern bathroom facility. It is large enough that it may even have a small laundry area? but I don't know for sure. The steel frame skeleton was being erected the day I was there. It is three times the size of the old one. More to follow.

This is the worst Military Campground we have ever visited. We could not find the campground office so drove directly to campground via a filthy,extremely dusty,washboarded road for a couple of miles only to find it filled with people living there. No one available to ask about camping facilities and availibility. It is true they are building some new sites, however, from what I saw at the campground they too will probably be lived in full time and there appears to be no plans to pave the road going to the campground. On the way out I found the office, located in the game wardens building, there was nothing to indicate that the campground office was there, I could barely get my rv into the parking lot to talk to the campground office personnel. They, the office personnel, were lackluster at best and showed no interest in assisting me with a campspot. I asked them why there weren't any signs posted explaining where the office was, why there weren't signs posted that one must drive down a rough and dusty road to get to a campground that was filled with campers with no posted site numbers and from what we could see...no spots available. The person in charge simply and nonchalantly asked me what I expected her to do. When I told her that they needed to post signs directing us to the campground office she had no response and regarding the issue ot the terrible road and the fact that the campground was filled with fulltimers she simply stated that no one else had ever complained about it. It is a disgrace to see a military campground in this condition and tended by such careless personnel.

A hidden jewel. The camp boss are wonderful, very friendly and helpful. This camp is peaceful, average size and sitting on a beautiful lake. The fire ring already had wood for a fire, the site was cement and very level. Only here one night but will surely return next year on our way to Florida.

W.A. left this review using the Directory software: - This is a great campground. We stayed here in a 5th wheel the new sites are big. They didn't install sewers that's a shame this still is a great place. I was stationed here some forty years ago. The museum was the nicest I've been too. The bath house was GI clean

Real nice place, nice pads, level and clean. Bath house and Laundry were real nice and clean. Outdoor rec. people were nice and helpful. Everything on post was easy to find, we will stay here again but only longer next time.

J.O. left this review using the Directory software: We enjoyed our stay at the RV park. Out side of the whirlybirds during the day it was very peaceful and quiet.

The RV Park is a away from main base, nothing in walking distance. It's on the lake and nice and quiet. The whole place had been upgraded since our last visit. Sign in is now at the marina and the camp is a few miles down the road. Lots of open spaces when we were there, reservations weren't needed. All roads have been paved along with most sites. I have a little rig and only need electric when I stop for the night. There isn't full hook up but a dump station. WiFi wasn't up yet. Antenna TV OK. Still I couldn't get the cheaper rustic areas, they are saved for longer stays. The new bath house was finished, neat and clean, two big open showers on both sides. There was a laundry and club house but they had combo locks. We were only there a night and the office didn't give us a combo. If we were staying longer we would have asked the Camp Boss. Another little quirk, Camp Boss doesn't sound as friendly as Camp Host but that's what they call it. The pictures on this site are older pictures and not of the new bath house or paved roads. Still you get the idea of what a nice quite area it is.

Park Staff helpful and accommodated last minute Labor Day Weekend booking that we wanted as I had to evacuate LA for Hurricane Gustav. We enjoyed Scenic Site 7 on outside of loop. Could have stood a little forest debris cleanup, but was right up against woods so some natural debris is acceptable to me. Campground never filled, staff thinks due to no sewer hookups and has availability year round for this reason. Nice to have concrete pad and 50 AMPs. I thought I parked pretty well but was too close to Shepherds Crook Light Pole to easily use awning - my fault or theirs? Dump station was fine. Bathhouse was clean but dated and concrete shower floor paint was very worn. We don't usually use the "facilities" and for a short no more than one black tank full visit worked out very well for us. Never met the "Camp Boss".
