Located in Alabama, this 1,445-acre park was established around the mid-20th century. It is situated on Lake Martin's shores and offers a variety of recreational activities such as camping, fishing and boating.
The land for the park was donated by Alabama Power Company in 1946. Initially managed by Tallapoosa County Parks Authority until it became part of the state parks system under legislation passed in 1975.
It has since grown to become one of America's largest public campgrounds with over 600 sites available for RVs or tents. The area also includes cabins that can be rented year-round.
