Shell Creek Park and East Bank Park (also known as Millers Ferry Campground) are located on opposite sides of the Dannelly Reservoir along a deep, wide stretch of the Alabama River. The reservoir covers roughly 27 square miles, boasting more than 500 miles of shoreline.
This campground offers 42 family sites with electric hookups. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, drinking water, laundry facilities and a dump station.
A fishing dock, boat ramp, fish cleaning stations and playground provide additional recreation opportunities for guests. Boating, fishing, hiking, and birding are popular activities.
Scope the shoreline for waders and Anhingas, the skies for Bald Eagles and Ospreys, and the water for waterfowl in the cooler months. To the far southwest of the park is an inlet. Least Bitterns breed here. Look for Common Moorhens and Purple Gallinules in the backwaters and along the banks.
The woods contain a variety of songbirds, woodpeckers, and raptors.
