Prairie Creek Campground

Prairie Creek Campground is located in northern Lowndes County, Alabama, between Holy Ground Battlefield Recreation Area and the Henry Dam. The campground is an excellent midway point for birding in the region. Visitors can expect to see meadowlarks, bluebirds, sparrows, raptors, and shorebirds, among others. The mature hardwoods along the main road are especially bird-rich, with numerous migrants in spring and fall and mixed-species feeding flocks in winter. The campground loop road is closed to day-use visitors, but a broad trail continues northward to and through a primitive camping area, providing excellent birding in all seasons, particularly in winter. The Alabama River to the east provides a look at egrets, herons, osprey, and bald eagles.

Millers Ferry Campground

Millers Ferry Campground, also known as East Bank, is located on scenic Dannelly Reservoir in Alabama’s Black Prairie Belt. The reservoir sits on the Alabama River and covers roughly 27 square miles, boasting more than 500 miles of shoreline. Boating, fishing, hunting and hiking are popular activities.
