To Whom It May Concern, I don’t know what kind of operation y’all are running over at Guntersville State Park, but the state of the grass is downright embarrassing. It looks like it hasn’t seen a mower since Christmas, and we’re smack dab in spring. This isn’t a nature preserve — it’s a campground where people bring their families, their kids, and their hard-earned money to enjoy a safe and clean outdoor experience. Instead, we’re staring down knee-high weeds, worried sick about snakes slithering around or our kids stepping on broken glass and beer bottles hiding in the jungle you’re calling a lawn. And let me be clear — we couldn’t camp if we wanted to. There’s no way we’re pitching a tent in that overgrown mess, much less letting our children run around in it. What really gets me is the complete disregard for safety, especially when it comes to kids. Y’all know good and well that families are out here trying to enjoy the park, and instead we’ve got to follow our kids around like hawks to make sure they don’t end up in the ER because someone didn’t feel like mowing the grass. If one of these children gets bitten by a snake or steps on some jagged glass because of your laziness, hell *will* break loose. I’m talking lawsuits, press coverage, the whole nine yards — because this is unacceptable. You’ve got a responsibility to keep this park maintained and safe. Get it together, and fast. And another thing — where are the picnic tables and grills? Y’all stripped them out like nobody uses them, and that decision is just plain ridiculous. Not everyone has a truck to haul a grill or the money to go buy one just to cook a hotdog. This is supposed to be a family-friendly park, not some bring-your-own-everything survival camp. People come here to relax, eat, and spend time together — not to sit in the dirt and figure out how to cook over a hole in the ground. Bring back the basic amenities that used to make this place worth visiting, because right now it’s a total letdown.

My wife and I stayed in Chalet #403. It was nice...We had fun on the hiking trails. We rented a pontoon from Town Creek fishing center...which is owned and operated by the park. Had a blast on the lake! The breakfast was pricey on Friday...but a continental breakfast is available Mon-Wed. Saw some eagles...lots of deer and Canadian geese...some ducks...a couple snakes on the water ..and fish everywhere!

Stayed in the lodge. It has motel style lodging which was great, with a view, and clean and roomy. Comfy beds too. The lodge center is huge, beautiful, has scenic views, and lots of conference rooms and fire places.

The park is absolutely beautiful very big. We came to do the hiking trails we did 6 mile loop. We started at Kings Chapel Trail, and then went the Cave Trail and yes, there’s a cave to loop Trail I wanted to do the lower trail of tears so we had to make our own trail down to the beginning of that one finish that one back on loop trail to go to the natural trail to finish up with the dry trail. Beautiful we also did a incline of 1088 feet.

It was absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful place and so much fun. We loved the donkey and emus . At the campground we had a blast playing volleyball, basketball, playing on the playground and at the beach. We also took a hike on one of the many trails and enjoyed smores by our campfire. The restrooms were very clean . There are also a lot of beautiful deer and lots of osprey birds. Definitely a must. Everyone is super friendly and its pet friendly.
