Sorry very nice and pretty level.

The place is really well kept It has free roaming goats on the island.
I would definitely stay again and wish we weren't just passing thru.
This is great especially at $45 per night for 50 amp and full hookup.

We were making our way to Montgomery, AL to visit family and I contacted one RV park on US 231 on the morning of Tuesday, Dec. 26 and the gentleman who answered the phone informed me they were closed. Not sure why, it was neither a Sunday or a holiday, but nonetheless, we needed a place for that evening in the Montgomery area, so I reached out to Jackson Lake Island. The gentleman who answered the phone was very cordial, and asked me a few questions (what type hookups, size camper, etc.). He said they had 3 sites available - two on the island and one on the ridge overlooking the island. He instructed me to call him when we arrived at the gatehouse.
We arrived and contacted the man. He asked that we fill out an envelope with our information (name, tag number, etc.) and he would meet us and take us to see the available sites. He arrived and we followed him through the gate. He showed us the site on the ridge - it was full hookups but was pretty close to campers on either side. My wife wanted to look at the sites on the island. He took us to the Island to the full hookup site that was available. The third site was on the island, but it had no sewer hookup plus another camper had come in earlier that day and taken it. We choose the site on the island, which is the site where the movie Big Fish was filled and it still had some of the buildings there from the movie set. Also, there are about 50 goats that roam free on the island also. We have two dogs, but we always keep them on a leash, so that was not going to be a problem.
We really enjoyed our stay. There is one issue that campers need to be aware regarding the sewer hookup. As I was hooking up our black/gray tank hose, I noticed that there was toilet paper remnants around the sewer connection. I wasn't sure what had happened with the previous camper, until we were dumping as we prepared to depart 3 days later. It appears the septic system that you hook to was either a septic tank that was nearly full and field lines that were plugged or maybe because it had been raining earlier in the week, the field lines was saturated - nevertheless, when dumping, the sewer line would fill and then slowly go down. In fact, I was unable to dump our gray tanks due to the sewer line not draining. When unhooking our lines from the sewer connection, sewer water backed up onto the ground for a moment. This is unsanitary and hopefully the owner will address.
Otherwise, we had a wonderful stay. The location was convenient for us to visit with family in east Montgomery and the site was very peaceful. The old movie set was neat, as well, and there were a few visitors who came during the day to walk around the movie set and take pictures of the goats.
We might stay again - I will probably talk to the owner about the sewer issue to make sure it has been addressed before we come back.
All in all, it was a very neat experience and we would recommend - just be aware of the potential sewer issue.

The grounds are kept immaculate by the grounds keeper.

This is unique place to stay. The owners are really friendly and helpful. There are only a few sites with full hookup, 50 amp only so either bring converter if you need 30 or they will provide one for you. There were no available sites with full hookup but there was one site that had 110 and water. We had the needed converter as that is what we use at home as we are setting up for a trip. We were out in a field all by ourselves. It was awesome. Yes, the Big Fish set is there and you can’t walk all around. Sheep and goats freely roam the island as well.
Negatives: Three times during the night thetrain blared their horn. Woke us up, but didn’t take long to get back to sleep. They do not take reservations but if you call the day before they can tell you if they have anything available. If noting is available you can dry dock. They don’t have dump station. When you get prices, it is per person that was weird.

This place was such a great and unusual experience. They do not have a reservation system and ask if you call ahead and make sure they have a site open. Tent camping is $10/night but if you have an RV a full hook up 50 amp service site is $30/night. I was actually planning on dry camping and didn't have the need for a hookup but with the camper they said the price was only minimally less. I'm actually glad that it turned out this way because my RV furnace messed up that night and it was 20 degrees. So it wouldn't have been fun without the electric heater. This is one of my wife's favorite spots, mainly because of the goats. I mean it's like a movie set and a petting zoo all in one.

Awesome island, well kept and peaceful. The goats seem to sleep by the church but wonder around during the day. You can camp anywhere on the island. We camped on the north side and the goats walked past us at least 6 times through out the day.
