i camped in the wooded section. nice and quiet, shaded. no full hooks. did not use bath house. the dump station was closed. had to go to new area and back into an used spot and use the sewer hookup. was close to huntsville.

This entire review is to say that the staff member I spoke with on the phone when I had an issue (entirely my fault), was extremely understanding, helpful, and pleasant!

We were enroute to Redstone Arsenal and made a brief (3 stop) visit to Ditto Landing. There had been some recent reports of Limpkin (a bird) sightings there but we were not successful in seeing any. We walked the trail adjacent to the river.

This is not as advertised!!! The campground is in poor condition. The grass was recently cut, but clops of smelly grass remained. The campsite is NOT PAVED!! NO GRILL, NO FIRE RING, NO TRUE SITE!! A gravel strip to park on. The hook ups are crazy bad! The water is 2 feet below ground level and sewer to 1 foot above ground??? DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR WEBSITE. I did and am sorry. We were only staying 2 nights if it had been more I would not have stayed. They FALSE advertise this campground. Be honest so we know what to expect.

This is about the campground. Sigh. What used to be a lovely, family-friendly, clean RV campground is now a sad, dirty, unkempt campground in a state of gross negligence and disrepair. Shame on Huntsville and Madison County for allowing this to happen.There are two campground areas: one in shade and one not. The campground with shade is the old, original campground with mature shade trees and, unfortunately now, an asphalt road replete with potholes, sections missing, and large portions of standing water and/or mud. The site pads are asphalt pads (not concrete, as advertised) and are crumbling, cracked, decaying relics, lined with wet, sticky mud that lingers (in the case of our site) at least five days after the last rain. There is no maintenance in evidence as limbs, leaves, trash, and other debris cover these site pads, in some cases, nearly obscuring them.Our site is not alone in the amount of old and recent trash that inhabits it. On our arrival, we found: candy wrappers (new and worn), hair paraphernalia, a sandal, random vehicle parts (metal pipes, plastic pieces), cigars, beer cans (old and recent), and many other indicators that there is no basic clean-up done by maintenance staff. There are no dog disposal stations in this campground. The concrete picnic tables are completely falling apart –by that, I mean, benches are cracked completely in two or fallen over entirely, huge chunks have fallen off sections, etc. There are aluminum picnic tables in many campsites to replace the concrete tables but they are seemingly randomly set adjacent to the old, decayed tables. Why have the deteriorated and non-functional tables not been removed? The same goes for the campsite grills: these ancient iron grills are in total disrepair and function. The “grill” on our campsite is sitting on the ground, the pole completely missing. It is completely non-functional. On walking through the campground, I see almost all the grills in the same state: either the grill is completely gone and there is a random post or a grill is sitting on the ground. Fire rings are also random and, obviously, not maintained. The road into this campground has so many deep potholes at the entrance, none dried out during the first five non-rainy days of our visit. There is not a traditional “dump station” here, but a questionable pump, standing in who-knows-what kind of water, with no instructions posted. There is a hose with a hook-up feature lying in the murky water surrounding this station and a broken plastic cover that, when pulled off, reveals some sort of pump. We found a switch to turn this on and, after we hooked the nozzle-like hose to our drain, switched it on. We are experienced campers and this is an experience we hope never to repeat. Basically, this was really disgusting.Rather than repeat the questionable pump (not dump…) station experience, we decided to try to change our campsite to one in the “non-shaded” section, or, the new section of Ditto Landing, where there are sewer hook-ups. On asking at the campground office, we found out we could not change sites as the staff person could not figure out how to do it on her computer. She told us there was nothing available. We went online and found that, indeed, there was a campsite available for the nights we requested. Staff ignorance or unwillingness?The new or “non-shaded” campground looks like an ersatz campground set up for an impromptu gathering of some sort. It is in a former field that needs additional bush-hogging (not sure just mowing will do the job), adjacent to a busy road with nothing to buffer the traffic, a huge hole/dredge-site in the center, semi-filled with sketchy-looking, mosquito-attracting, green sludge below the orange clay slopes. God-forbid someone get too close and slide in. There are no dog disposal stations that I could find, and no garbage disposal bins.For a city that is so proud of itself for being #1 in so many national surveys, it shocks me that our elected officials and city/county administrators have allowed this park to have become so hideous. There are very few campgrounds convenient to Huntsville and this one is a humiliation to this wonderful city. For the vast amounts of funds pouring into this city and county, it’s a true shame an already established campground, a rarity in this area, is not being well taken care of.
