Lock 5

The US Army Corps of Engineers manages this established campground along the Black Warrior River system. Lock 5 sits in a rural setting with direct water access for boaters and anglers targeting the river's bass and catfish populations. The facility provides basic amenities typical of Corps-managed sites, including restrooms and boat launch facilities.

Road access requires navigating rural Alabama routes, and cell service may be limited in this river corridor location. Campers seeking additional options can explore camping spots around Gallion, while those preferring more developed facilities might consider Runaway Branch to the west.
