We had a really nice stay in the cabins for 4 nights. The park was amazing and we loved the trails and Japanese Garden (not much in bloom, but very cool). The cabins have been redone recently and had up to date amenities. The outsides of 12-14 look much rougher on than they are on the inside. Made a fire one night. Used the oven and stove every day. Great fridge. Water pressure was excellent and plenty of hot water. Bed was comfortable. Screened porch was awesome. Keep in mind, this is the wilderness and small rodents want anything they can get, and they are certainly around. We took our trash out every day before we left and before we went to sleep and kept the actual trash can outside, it maybe helped. Park staff was very kind and the camp ground/RV park was very nice (lots of shade, clean bathrooms). We were going to stay in a primitive site, but the weekends weather made us decide to go for the cabin, and we are very glad we did! Awesome stay, highly recommend, would come again!

The campground is nice,and the bathhouses are clean. Peculiar in some ways, ie. no trashcans in camping areas just a dumpster at the entrance, also a rule against pouring any kind of water on the ground. Wondered how the tent campers did that. There were lots of hiking trails and quite a few that allowed bicycles, but even with a map, they were somewhat inadequately marked. Take the easy trail rating with a grain of salt. The playground was pretty good. At least our 6 yr old enjoyed it.

We stayed at Monte Sano State Park Campground in Alabama a few months ago, and it was an amazing experience. The campground is up in the mountains and overlooks the city, offering incredible views. One of the highlights was seeing deer everywhere—they would walk right up to you! The campground was reasonably priced and had water and electric hookups. While there was no sewer at our spot, there were convenient dump stations available. We also had a laundry facility right beside us, which was very handy. The park provides firewood and has a little convenience store on site, making it easy to get anything you might need. Another beautiful feature of the park is the Japanese garden, which is absolutely stunning. Overall, the views were incredible, and I truly loved this park. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a serene and scenic camping experience in northern Alabama.

Pretty views campground has really nice sites. The CCC museum was just big enough & gentleman there was friendly & informative. If we camp there, we would need to find a way to avoid going thru Huntsville. Too many crazy drivers!! Park staff was very friendly & helpful. Nice cabins & lodge.
