Overview

Isaac Creek Campground is located on Claiborne Lake in Alabama's southwest Hill Country.

The lake encompasses more than 60 miles of the Alabama River, and Isaac Creek has great appeal to sportsmen, birders, naturalists or those simply wanting to relax in the outdoors.

Recreation

The area's waterways offer anglers the opportunity to fish for largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill and catfish.

Boating and water sports are also a main draw to the lake, and a boat ramp is provided for easy water access.

The vast expanse of surrounding land allows for bow and shotgun hunting for game like whitetail deer, wild turkey and hog.

Facilities

This year-round campground offers 60 sites with electric hookups. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, drinking water, a dump station and laundry facilities.

A boat ramp, dock, fish cleaning stations, basketball court, playground and picnic shelter offer countless recreation opportunities for visitors.

Natural Features

The campground is situated between Isaac Creek and Claiborne Lake, in a forest of hardwood and pine.

The description, directions and fees are the Army Corps of Engineers’s own words, from its record on Recreation.gov.
