We had about 90 sites to choose from. It wasn't an easy choice, thanks to many great sites the park offers. We ended up on #139, with the lake behind us.

Date of visit: Mar 2007

Sites 10 and 9 have a fishing pier right behind them.

Site 17, here with a blooming dogwood, looks over the lake.

If you're taveling with friends, there are a few double sites, such as 53-52 shown here.

Sites 42-44.

Among the non-reservable sites are 69 and 68.

There are three modern, clean bathhouses in the campground. The pull-through on the right is site 73.

Most sites are well-shaded, but there are a few that offer a more open setting. The BT Cruiser in the background picked site 79 so he could use his Datastorm dish.

Another double site - 91 and 91A.

I'd rate 108 and 109 as the best sites in the park, due to their view of the lake.

In the summer visitors can enjoy day-use area of the park, including a picnic and game area.

The beach is just a short walk from the campground.

If you have active kids, there's a nice playground located beside site 31.

Fishermen will find two boat launch ramps: on in the day-use area, and this one in the campground.

Bay Springs Lake is part of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, so one gets occasional views of passing barge traffic.

Sunrise over the lake, right from our site.
