Clanton, AL

Nestled just 10 miles from the majestic Flagg Mountain—home to the historic stone Fire Tower built by the CCC—Camp River Run is your gateway to adventure in the heart of Alabama. Explore a web of scenic trails including the Pinhoti National Recreation Trail, Eastern Continental Trail, Coosa Trail, and the Piedmont Birding Trail—all within easy reach. Love the water? You're in luck! With three boat ramps on Lake Mitchell and Lay Lake just two miles away—and a stone’s throw from Lay Dam—you’ll have endless opportunities for boating, kayaking, and fishing. Located right on the Alabama Adventure Trail, Camp River Run is the perfect overnight stop for dualsport riders, hikers, and anyone chasing the thrill of the open trail. Keep your eyes on the sky—Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, Great Blue Herons, and Osprey soar overhead daily, offering spectacular wildlife viewing. Enjoy the peace and quiet of our spacious, family-owned campground, with convenient access to I-65 while still feeling miles away from it all. We’re just getting started! Camp River Run is currently a primitive campground (no hookups), offering a special pre-opening rate of just $20/night until further notice.
