We have been at Hames for 10 years. The positive is you can't get to Smith Lake any faster or easier from Birmingham and they have cleaned up the RV/Camping area. The negative is that since ownership was transferred to Randy's daughters, lot rent has gone up 400% from $85 per month to $250 per month. Originally they said that there would be improvements to the camp when rent went up the first time, but none have been made at all. Water is included in that cost but not year-round. So half the year you can't go up there and stay. And none of the lots are level. Though all things considered, that still isn't bad for Smith Lake in Cullman County. Also, the roads in and around the camp are horrible. There's no way I would bring a nice or new boat down their roads to launch there. The docks are unkept. They barely cut grass or weed-eat. They don't clean the ditches. A couple of years ago they cleaned and repaired the restrooms by the launch, then locked the doors so no one could use them. They have a store that for years has been closed and they refuse to open. Parking is extremely limited both in the camp where you pay to be and around the launch. Most lots can only fit 2 vehicles if your neighbors like you. Animals are allowed but only certain breeds. Would I recommend this camp? I mean, yeah I tell people about it. But I also tell people the same things I just put in this review like it's a disclaimer on a contract. I don't brag about the place. We have thought about leaving but since the ownership change. To sell your place, the buyers have to go through a credit and background check with the owners before you can sell. And if you can't come up with a buyer, yes the owners will offer to buy, but it's not a reasonable offer. It's a headache if you stay and a headache to leave.
