The rentals are gone and won't allow horses. A couple of years ago we had a trail ride for St. Judes and had a great time but were not allowed back because of some disagreement with the management. If you want campers then you must accomodate them.
absolutely beautiful in november we camped in one of the r v sites full hook ups including sewer so no tanks to empty. the deer where every where also small animals like raccoons. birds of all types including hawks and eagles. the staff was very nice the camp ground had just a few campers and everyone was very considerate. this was the time of year when the creek indians have there pow wow so we visited it one of the days and the costumes where absolutely beautiful and a educational experience. our dogs where welcome and the pet rules are just the same as anyother pet friendly camp ground. little river lake is absolutely beautiful with boat rentals which have very reasonable rates. i did not got fishing but there is a sign listing the types of fish that can be caught with the fishing rules.i was very please with the scenic views that changed with the hours of the day noone made noise that would disturb fellow campers. some scars on the forrest just outside the parks bounderies from logging but with the rollings trails and a land scape of rollings hills you have to walk a fair distance to see it. we actually had to stop on the road to the camp site coming from the office for a few minutes to let a small herd of deer crosing the road no complaits from me abouth that.little river state park is beautiful and natural alabama forrest with the lake being man made from years ago clay mining (i think) but the water is clear and it does have a small water fall that adds to the view and plenty of facillities for famliy and group pinics. the park is kept clean and trash is picked up daily so no dumpsters to draw flys and other unwanted guess to the camping areas.i think my favorite memory was waking up on a cool november morning to walk the dogs and there was a light fog hanging close to the ground but not so thick you cloud not see thru it and the sun was shinning across the lake that was slick as glass and the deer where grazing on the edge of the forrest. it was one of the most beautiful sites i have seen in a long time. we will remember little river state park and will return again in late winter or early spring.
My family and I stayed a few nights in the trailers they have at the park. For fema trailers, they were pretty nice. The only issue th at we had is that while taking showers the water would go up over the edge of the shower floor and flood the bathroom! Thank god we brought lots of towels! We were told the reason it happens is because they are handicapped accessible and the trailers are starting to become unlevel. The receptionist said they need repairs. But other than the shower mishap the park itself was really nice. They have grills and firepits, a playground for kids, rowboats and pedal boats and restrooms. A snack machine is located inside the restroom building. *A helpful tip*, if you're staying in the trailers they don't supply any toiletries or linens and the don't have a tv, you have to bring everything you need from home, but there is a full size fridge and microwave and a stove.
We stayed in the cabin Aug.9,10,2009. My husband and I and three girls.It was great we rented the rustic cabin,it was clean. Even the teenage girls loved it.The lake was beautiful got bites fishing but only caught 1 fish.Rented a john boat and a peddle boat for the lake.You can fish off dock by launch also.Swimming area is clean ,water clear, shallow,seemed as though there were fresh springs coming up.Very Refreshing.Camp staff very friendly.The scenery was beautiful,and park not over populated with people or things.Rv and campsites cheap.Already planned next trip,can"t wait.

Great Sat. in the water and the sun & the sunday evening was the best :) We will be seeing yall alot more often Thank You so much! Sincerely, Holly Cannon
We did not stay here, but explored it on a recent trip. The facility has a camp ground on a beautiful lake with mobile homes for rent at a very reasonable rate. The park was very scenic and the grounds were very clean. It would be an excellent place to get off the beaten path and away from it all.
Not too far off the highway, convient but secluded, quiet and peaceful. Just a real good get away from it all.
Little River State Forest is a great getaway for the family. Camping, swimming, playground for the kids, hiking trails, it has it all. The rv campsites and bath houses need improving and from what I hear will be if the recreation area stays open which will make the park perfect. I saw a review saying that the view on the Bell Trail is a clay pit. Don't believe it. Turn around 180-degrees and you'll see the view.
Out of the way, not many visitors. Camp ground was clean and quiet.
My husband and I made a reservation to stay two nights, and my parents made a reservation to stay the second night with us. I told whoever I was emailing (never answered the phone, never gave a name) that we would see them that evening. The website and whoever I was emailing both failed to mention that you are locked in/out after a certain time. We drove almost 3 hours to the campground just to find that there was a locked gate blocking the entry/exit. The only number we could find was not answered when called.We had to turn around and drive another 3 hours home. Not only should this information be posted, but when a reservation is made, this information should be made very clear.The phone recording says they are open 9-5, but not that the entire grounds are blocked off. We are avid campers and have never experienced this before. Whoever (once again, I have yet to receive a name) took our reservation rudely contacted me to tell me they thought we came, got our site, and then left because of an emergency. I have absolutely no idea how they decided on that excuse, as we were never able to get in and get our site at all, nor were we able to get in touch with anyone about it. Instead of apologizing, they are making excuses.I was looking forward to a nice weekend with my family, but instead we spent 6 hours driving to nothing. We will not return.
