No, it's not hurting my feelings. BTW I camp on the boat but just off shore of young's not on the Island. Thats not the point.

I think you can camp on Alabama Power Land, I think..... Most APCO lakes you can camp unless posted specifically that you cant. I worked for APCO for a few years and this is where I get this idea.

I know for a fact RL will not let you and the Game Warde's are active in running people off RL. The thing is, when campers clean up and do what they should do,no one thinks about it. They left it as good or better than when they got there. But you have the ones that trash everything and you see it, it brings the problem to mind and blankets every one with the bad behavior. It's like the sand beach on Woods Island, I go over there in the morning and start the gas grill and make breakfast and coffee for dad and I. Most mornings I pick up a fill 30 gallon trash bag of junk and trash. We are going home about that time so I chunk it in the cabin and empty it at Wind Creek park as we head home. It's the few bad that will destroy it for the rest. That being said. I do not disagree with any of the comments made here. I hate to be swimming and see a cigarette but or water bottle float by. Or pull up into some of the out of the way coves and see piles and piles of trash at the end that has washed over the years.

What to do about camping on the lake? Who knows, My part is and has been cleaning up when I come across something I can clean up and shaking my head over the things I cant. That's about it.
