Belmont Park sits along the Tombigbee River in a quiet, primitive setting that pulls in tent campers and small RVs looking for basic access to water and wildlife. The campground offers level sites, a boat launch, and clean restrooms with flush toilets, but no hookups. It's a long drive to any store, so bring everything you need.
Belmont Park is described as a primitive campground with facilities to support group/family gatherings.
Weather and SeasonsBest season: fall. Fall offers the best balance of comfortable weather and peak outdoor opportunities — daytime highs typically in the 60s–70s°F with cool nights in the 40s–50s, making camping and boating pleasant. Fishing is excellent as many species feed ahead of cooler water, and hunting on the adjacent David K. Nelson WMA is at its peak, so the area is active but not overly crowded except for opening weekends. Note occasional tropical-storm impacts in early fall; check river levels before launching and wear hi

Natural Features and SceneryThe Tombigbee River flows directly beside the campground, its banks bordered by the David K. Nelson Wildlife Management Area. At 135 feet elevation, the landscape mixes dense forest with open water access. Reviewers describe the lake and river as pristine, with clean water for kayaking and fishing. Wildlife is active, especially during fall hunting season on the adjacent WMA. The setting is quiet enough that campers consistently call it peaceful and scenic, though early fall can bring tropical-storm impacts that raise river levels.
