  • This one is correct, too. Actually, this one shows the truest size of the facility. Frankly, I was surprised when I went there the first time. It is quite huge and quite modern. All of the buildings, for instance, have air-conditioning as the people served don't always have a high tolerance for the heat of Alabama summers. An even truer picture of the boundaries/borders would even be bigger. The camp also leases a combined total of about 1,000 acres on each side to assure that hunters never come close to the facility.
