Overview

Service Campground is situated along the high banks of Coffeeville Lake, the third largest lake on the Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway in Alabama. With a surface area of 8,800 acres and a length of 97 miles, the area provides excellent opportunities for camping, fishing and boating.

Recreation

Fishing is the most popular activity on the waterway. Whether fishing on or off shore, anglers can fish for bass, crappie, bream, catfish and other species.

Visitors have the convenience of a boat ramp, and children can make use of the facility's playground. Campers can also sit back and enjoy the peaceful, scenic shoreline.

Facilities

Service Park offers 32 campsites, including two tent-only sites, all with 50-amp electric and water hookups, picnic table, lantern holder and campfire ring with grill.

Campsites are spacious, private and located near or close to the water. The facility also provides a bathouse with hot showers and other comforts of home.

Natural Features

A mixed pine and hardwood forest lines the lakeshore. The campground is surrounded by dense conifer stands and rolling meadows that feature colorful wildflower displays. Wood ducks, bald eagles and many other species of wildlife inhabit the lake area.

Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway consists of six lakes with a total length of 457 miles and 39,800 surface acres of water.

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