Ask anyone who camps at Lake Martin, and they will tell you about the stars. At the end of the day, when the sun sets and daylight finally fades, an endless sky full of twinkling lights makes its grand appearance. Campers experience this spectacular display of stars in a special way, a way like no other.

“I camped when I was a child with my family, and now I camp with my friends,” said Alexander City’s Tom Collier, retired Camp ASCCA director and camping enthusiast. Collier’s favorite places to camp on Lake Martin include the islands near Chimney Rock, the Highway 280 Bridge and Camp ASCCA. “Camping is stress-free and brings me more in touch with nature and closer to God.”
