Cheaha is very nice and a beautiful place to visit, camp and ride the trails. A ton of hiking trails available also if you're into that. The only thingbthat keeps me from giving 5 stars is the lack of convenience amenities that other campsites offer. There was absolutely no cell or WiFi signal anywhere at the campsites and while the restrooms were sufficient, the showers were outdated and severely lacking.

Very nice park and campground. Stayed in upper campground, and had lots of space and view into the timber. Had 2 trails out of the campground which was nice. Take all your essentials because it’s a long drive in and out. New facilities under construction that will be done in 2026, so that will help with food. Definitely worth a trip !

Always a great stay at Cheaha. We go every year for multiple years now. Great cabins, trails, atmosphere, scenery, deer and other wildlife, etc. Campground and cabins available to stay in. Chalets are also available. I highly recommend this park and it's cabins. You definitely won't be disappointed.

The drive up here is fantastic! Great views from Bald rock , or pulpit rock. Bunker tower is must stop, and the country store at the top of the mountain is nice. The new hotel is currently under construction,but already looks amazing. I highly recommend driving down, or hiking down to cheaha lake. A great place to spend the day!

The top point of Cheaha Mountain has beautiful view, specially during the sunset. This is also good for hiking, repelling, or just spending some great time sitting on the rocks and looking to the horizon where sky falls on the ground!

The last time I was here was 27 years ago, when my new wife and I spent our honeymoon here. We came back this year for a more somber occasion, but this time we got a chalet instead of a rustic cabin. The old hotel we stayed in our first night all those years ago is gone now, as is the old restaurant, but they're busy constructing a new hotel where the old one stood. The hike to Bald Rock has been made infinitely easier thanks to the boardwalk, but the old trail is still available for those who wanna do it the old fashioned way.

Really beautiful place. Stunning trails, plenty of camp sites, the coolest little dog park. I really enjoyed the informative plaques telling of the wild life and the history of the area. This mountain has so much to offer.

Highest point in Alabama! Great state park with lots of trails! Many lead to some amazing viewpoints. They are currently going through some rebuild of the resort/restaurant so there are limited facility within the park. Looking forward for the resort/restaurant to be finished and we for sure will revisit!

Seen the tower, store, Boardwalk trail, Pulpit Rock. Got a flat tire just below the tower so watch the road on the right where it's crumbling, tows aren't crazy about coming up that mountain! Boardwalk and Pulpit have very nice views, the old stone lodge is a neat building to look at too. There is a small fee to enter the park, think it was $3+4? Lol wasn't paying attention but it's posted inside the store.

The most breath taking views, awesome hiking trails and wheelchair accessible trails also. In my book that says it all!! Everyone was very nice. The little country store there had very reasonable prices which shocked me. Will be going back

We stayed in cabin 2. It had the most gorgeous view. Went for a hike, the trail was visibly marked and easy to follow. This was my first time at Cheaha, we saw a beautiful wedding at the lodge. It was a fantastic weekend.

My grandson and I had a great time walking out to Bald Rock and visiting the highest elevation in the Great State of Alabama The Beautiful. Although the lady taking the visitors fee was rather rude to us because we were having to count change on that particular day . She is the reasoning behind the 3 stars if not for her I would have given it 5 stars.

This is a stunning park. The trails are beautiful, with a good variety of terrain and difficulty. The views are beautiful. We climbed to the top of the tower at Alabama's highest point and then proceeded to go hike two more trails. Both trails lead to gorgeous vista points. We would love to go back to hike a few more, explore the park and possibly camp.
