Twiltley Branch Campground

We stayed here when it was a little on the cold side. One morning we woke up to a couple inches of snow on the ground, but, other than that is was a great stay! The bathrooms/showers are clean and water pressure/ temp were excellent, but unfortunately the laundry was locked due to COVID (strange but, true). They were working on new water lines at Black Gum / group camp so we couldn't have camped there even if we wanted to (FF), but, it does look like a great area with some huge pull throughs and beautiful lakefront sites as well. The third campground is primitive with water hookups, and it looks like an amazing place for kids. Since no one was staying there, I walked my dog down to it every day. The Collinsville City Park is also very close and equally amazing for space and shelters, boat ramp, etc. We were in the Loblolly Campground, and it is very nice and typical of the many pine tree/ lake campgrounds in the south. The lake is very low right now, but, there are still people fishing every day. The sites are very spacious and we didn't have any trouble getting our big 5th wheel into the gravel site. We were unable to put out our awning because, of a tree on that side, but, did get all the slide outs extended. There were hardly any other campers (probably due to the weather), and the sites are situated so that you are not side by side with your neighbor (they're staggered). We rode our bikes all over as there are plenty of paved roads. Great COE campground! Also, Meridian has everything you need within 15 minutes. Propane about 3 miles from camp at "Chisolm's" gas/ tire station.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The lake views from our site were hard to beat. This is a great park for anyone who enjoys getting out on the water, but not swimming since there are signs about alligators in the lake. I was able to work easily with our AT&T service. I had download speeds of 87 and upload of 17 mbps. There were no trash containers in the campsite area which required a drive to the parks dumpsters to get rid of our trash. The toilets were pit toilets in the campsite area. They were clean. We would definitely stay here again.

This place is great. Very friendly folks working the front, very large well spaced lots, most lakefront. Most of the campground is big rig friendly, there are a few spots with tight spaces due to trees. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit and lantern hanger. Most have water and electricity. Lots of space for our dogs to play. Dump station on site. We didn’t use any other facilities so can’t speak to those. We wished we could’ve stayed longer! The only negative was the fire pits needed to be cleaned, I wish people didn’t leave trash in them.

We camped in site 14 at Twiltley Branch Campground! This Corps of Engineers campground is great! Campgrounds with lakefront sites in a wooded setting are our favorite campgrounds and Twiltley Branch did not disappoint! The only slight negative is location of some trees can make getting back in to your site a bit tricky. I would not suggest arriving after dark (like we did). This campground gets very dark and those trees can be hard to see. Other than that, it is a great campground with a tremendous amount of access to the shore of Lake Okatibbee. The campground was a bit loud over the weekend, but nothing egregious, just families enjoying the outdoors!
