Oh my goodness! I arrive at this park when it was dark and I could still tell that it beautiful! 25 mph speed limit because the deer own the place! Their tails just wag as they cross in front of you. And quiet! If you like peace and quiet with a big dose of nature, this is the campground for you!

Had a great time. Stayed a night at backwoods site 2. Only complaint is there creeks were dry.

We went camping here and it was our first time. This place is absolutely beautiful and we love it. Plenty of hiking trails, plenty of road to ride our electric bikes, all of the spots are nice and clean and level. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

Visited fall 2025 Excellent campground and facilities. Both the RV and tent camping facilities are modern, we'll maintained, and we'll equipped. The tent camp sites are more private and secluded than other Alabama state parks. The playground, dog park, and restrooms are among the best in northern Alabama. Basically the entire place looks brand new. The surrounding trails are no different, with great signage and maintenances. Would certainly camp again.
