Roland Cooper State Park

Roland Cooper State Park covers 236 acres of wooded landscape featuring a nine-hole golf course and multiple fishing spots along Dannelly Reservoir. The grounds combine natural terrain with recreation facilities designed for waterside activities.

The Alabama Department of Conservation established this state park in 1969 to protect natural resources and offer recreation near Camden. The park emerged from efforts to preserve habitats and expand public access to the region.

The park serves as a point on Alabama's Black Belt Birding Trail, where nature watchers document and observe regional bird species throughout the seasons. Visitors come here to see various birds in their natural habitat.

Visitors can choose from three furnished cabins, eight small cabins, forty-one RV sites, and fourteen primitive camping areas for overnight stays. Each lodging option offers different comfort levels depending on guest needs.

Designation as a Dark Sky site allows guests to observe celestial events and meteor showers without interference from artificial light. This quality makes the park an uncommon spot for stargazing in the region.
