Thinking about camping for a few days here. Anyone have input on how bad crime is in this area?

Have not heard of any when you planning to go I am only about six miles from there?Oh I would stay away from Turtle Creek grill 😡

Thanks Geezer. Maybe in a few weeks if the river goes down some.

If it is just for purposes of camping you may want to consider Roebuck. They have all the amenities a State Park offers. However, for hunting purposes and accessing Demopolis WMA you would have to lock through the dam or trailer your boat to the ramp below lock 5. I think it would only be a 15-20 minute drive from Roebuck.

Jennings Ferry is the campground behind Roebuck. It’s quiet with very nice restrooms and showers.

+1 on Jennings ferry very quiet and clean.robuck landing has good food and check out hunters family restaurant in Akron for some good soul food while in area

Jennings ferry is a decent drive to lock 5 though

What’s wrong with the turtle creek grill if I might ask? Passed by there one time and thought about stopping in.

They run it like a hobby no telling when it'll be open

Go stay down at forkland down near demopolis. A lot more land down that way and more deer too. Something bad happened to the deer population several years ago at lock 5 and Its still nothing like it used to be
