Lakepoint State Park is located 7 miles north of Eufaula, Alabama just off SR 431 on the shores of Lake Eufaula. Lake Eufaula has more than 45,000 surface acres and is considered to be one of the best largemouth bass fishing lakes in the United States. Seven to ten pound bass are not uncommon. This is another highly developed resort park that caters to most recreational activities including boating, fishing, water-skiing, swimming, golf, tennis, basketball, picnicking, and hiking. Of particular interest to us Yankees were the signs throughout the park which read "CAUTION - Alligators present, do not molest." Needless to say, we kept a close eye on our small dog. Accommodations include a very nice lodge and a great 244 unit campground. The well designed campground is divided into four separate loops each offering a slightly different ambiance. We camped in the Clark Loop which offered lakeside sites nestled in a stand of tall pines. This loop has good paved interior roads and camp spurs. Our site had electric (20/30 amp) and water hook-ups (Note: there is high water pressure in the campground and you want to be sure to use a flow regulator on your water intake). The shower buildings are very well designed and maintained. There is an activities building and many programs are offered. There is a small store, laundry, and dump station. Our cost was just $71.50 per week and that included our hook-ups (12/99). This is a winter destination for some campers and the park offers monthly rates around $250. For an additional $100 per month, you can play as much golf as you want, making this destination a best buy. First picture is a view of the lake, second is the view from Campsite 20.
