We have stayed here several times and love it. There is a nice playground for the grand kids to play on. We stayed in a fifth wheel and it was easy to park. The view of the river was great. The camp host was very nice and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is an excellent facility with a super view of the river. We use this park to visit friends on our Northern journey. It is one of the finest city campground facilities in the nation. The engineers made a major error when the park was renovated. The sewer locations are high and are not near the pads. Some sites are worse than others, but it is almost impossible to connect without 2 sections of hose. We will definitely use this wonderful park in the future. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice city park with great location on the Tennessee river. Quiet. Easy in and out. Nice folks. Often used by locals. No shade in area for big rigs so would be hot in summer without your own canopy. Table, grill but no fire ring. Great view of water traffic and you can take an hour and 1/2 tour with lunch on a paddlewheeler down the river for $20.00. Will stay again when in area.

Park was better than expected. Sites were level, clean and spacious. Park is right on the Tennessee river. It was quite and comfortable. Access was easy. We enjoyed both the views and other campers. Everybody was friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We live in Florence but didn't want to travel far from home to camp one weekend so we decided to go to McFarland. What a pleasant surprise, and right in our own backyard! The recent renovations provided sewer and what a pleasant surprise that was! It is a small campground and the sites are pretty close together, but a lot of them are very shaded. The kids rode bikes around the campground and then up to the marina and to the big playground. They have "Funland" next door which is a water slide park and goofy golf. It isn't by any means a big water park, but is does have one water slide and one water flume. The goofy golf is very outdated so we don't play it, but the kids like the water slide. There is a restaurant at the marina, but you are very close to "downtown Florence" and Trowbridges is the oldest restaurant around and they serve wonderful ice cream and brownies, chicken salad sandwiches and chili dogs. It will only take you 5 minutes from the campground, so check it out. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed on the back side of the campground along the slough, where there are plenty of shade trees. Most of the campsites used to be shaded by tall pine trees until it was hit by a tornado 3 years ago and several hundred trees were lost. In spite of this, it is still a very nice campground, just 5 minutes from downtown. The bathhouse is well-maintained & there is a washer and dryer. The sites are big enough but not overly roomy. There is a safe, friendly atmosphere. My husband enjoyed fishing off the nearby pier. Many local residents camp here regularly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was a pleasant surprise. The facility has new pavement on the roads and sites. The sewer, water, and electric are also recently renovated. The park is located on the Tennessee River. We were able to watch barges moving on the river. The park also has tent spaces without utilities. A golf course, marina, picnic areas, baseball, and other facilities are in the park. We were very pleased with this park. They do take reservations and are open 365 days. The recent directory does not reflect this correct information. Our rate reflects the "spring special" rate and senior citizen rate. $8.00 for full hookups is a bargain. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The sites are nice and shaded in a hilly area near Wilson Lake on the Tennessee River, which is a 5-minute walk from the campground. There are tennis courts, playground equipment, softball fields, picnic shelters and a disc golf course. The bathhouse is clean and well-maintained. The only negative was that we found a site with a broken water hook-up & had to move to the next site. The campground is within 5 minutes of various fast food, casual dining restaurants and grocery stores. We had a very enjoyable stay there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We spent New Year's day here one year. The campground is relatively small as it is part of
a city park. The sites are relatively level, though gravel and no sewage. I don't recall a bath house anywhere nearby. The campground is among some big trees, so there is good shade. In the city park, there are pavillions, tennis courts, a disc golf course, and other amenities. We stayed at this park while visiting a relative. It is very near town. While a very decent park on the river, I'm not sure I would go here simply as a destination park. But, for stopping over for a day or two, it is fine. Note that there is no office, the attendant drives through to collect fees. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
