We had a wonderful time. There's so much to do here. The campground is clean and well-maintained. The campground itself has plenty to do, but there there's a lot of sightseeing around the area. Caves, mountains, canyons, waterfalls plenty of God's beautiful creation to take in. We spent a full week packed with activities. The number one

First, I’ll start with the campground ⛺️. Hands down the best campground I’ve camped at to date. The ladies at the Country Store where you check in are super friendly and very helpful. Warning cell service in the campground is very limited and the only service that works is Starlink. Also, deer frequently run through the campground so take care about leaving food out unless you don’t mind sharing with the wildlife. Second, De Soto Falls is about 7 miles up the road. Very beautiful man made falls surrounded by the beauty of nature, some very cool artistic stairs, and a very cold mountain water lake. No shore fishing permitted and its swim at your own risk. And again, warning no cell service available here. You have to get five miles towards town before you pick up cell service. Third, this is the home town of the band Alabama so if you’re a fan you can drive in to the historic downtown area and take selfies with their statues.

Can't say enough good things about this park. Great sites. Pretty private. Super clean. Peaceful. Lots of trails. The waterfall is close. Fort Payne is also close, and a cute little town.

First time visiting here, and it is such an amazing place. We live two hours away, so it's not a bad drive. There are plenty of things to do with family, and they even have a nice playground for the kids. The falls were awesome and easy to get to. We also ate breakfast at the lodge, which was very good. All of the staff at the park are very friendly and do a great job.

Christmas camping was the best! We dos most of the trails amid camped 6 nights at the campground. Was absolutely beautiful but super cold forest couple days but we had warm clothes and were able to explore and see some awesome views and waterfalls. The store is great to grab a soda or stop at bathroom coming or going to hiking trails. Camping was great but I think arriving Christmas Day and the super cold weather kept people away so it was pretty empty. That being said I can’t imagine how busy and crowded it would be over spring and summer breaks. But definitely a great memory maker it was for Christmas 2024!
