Lovely state park with easy running trails, we did three trails on a lovely winter afternoon with family. We walked through the simple Japanese garden to start. And oh, it’s $5 (per person I think), but I’m happy to pay for lovely trails. I think the playgrounds are nice, but we didn’t get a chance to play :) And the visitor center is nice with clean bathrooms. Reaching the place from Nashville took two hours and it was a breath of fresh air. Be warned that you have to go up to the mountain and there is fog that comes and goes, just drive slow in the fog, playing peek a boo with gorgeous sunshine. What I loved about it is that the trails are run-able at least the three we did: North Plateau, South Plateau, and part of the Fire Tower Trail. Also, some lovely vistas and the trails are well marked. The people were lovely too, with pets all leashed. We also saw three deer that darted off when we were running.

Magical and Fun — Can’t Wait to Return! This place was absolutely magical and so much fun! I felt very safe the entire time, which made the experience even better. I’m already planning my next visit and definitely want to stay in a cabin nearby. If you’re looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and memorable getaway, this place is perfect. Can’t wait to come back!

Autumn is a beautiful time to stay at the campground at Monte Sano State Park. The sites are level, excellent for RV camping and tents as well. Lots of hiking nearby, and a beautiful look out point for sunrise and moonrise over the Appalachian foothills only 1/4 mile from the camp store. Very accessible to Huntsville sights, such as the US Space and Rocket Center (which has GREAT activities for kids and adults alike.) Highly recommend.

Pretty cloudy day, but it was very nice. The waterfall was close and the scenic overlooks were very nice. I'd really like to spend more time there going through the trails. This park has a lot to offer, though.

Had most of my wedding party stay at the cabins over the weekend. Stayed four nights and rented 8 cabins and one of the glamping tents over the weekend. Love this park and forest. Playground and trails for the kids. Fire pits for nightly hangouts and the renovations to the cabins are really nice. Only downside is I had difficulties with one of the park workers at the front desk. Every interaction with them was unfriendly. It became an inside joke to my friends and family that I had an enemy in the park. Everyone else I interacted with were great! Tracy who works cleaning services at the park also went out of her way to help my family find accommodations at the timberline tents when we had a flight fiasco that required some same day booking. I camped here with my mom as a toddler and I still come back every year for Christmas at the cabins.
