Reservations are available at this privately run campground outside Fort Payne, with nightly rates ranging from $25 to $30. The access road is unpaved dirt, and while one reviewer flagged it as poorly maintained, others arrived in vehicles as modest as a minivan without issue. Sites are drive-in, walk-in, or boat-in, and RVs up to 24 feet are accommodated. The campground sits close to both a creek and the Little River, and its location makes it a practical base for visiting Little River Canyon National Preserve, which has no camping of its own inside the park boundaries.
Sites vary considerably in character. Some cluster near the bathhouse at the front of the property, while others are set back along the river with more separation from neighboring campers. Reviewers consistently note that spacing between sites gives the grounds a less crowded feel even when other campers are present. Each fire pit comes stocked with at least a starter log, and firewood is available for purchase on-site. The bathhouse drew mixed comments: most found it clean and functional, though one reviewer described it as a cold, minimally equipped shed. Campers choosing sites at the back of the property should expect some road noise from the main road at night, though multiple reviewers reported it did not disrupt sleep.
Host Giorgio is mentioned by name in nearly every review. Lonni B. describes it as "an amazing set up," and other reviewers echo that the host's attentiveness shapes much of the experience. Beyond the campsites, the property includes river access for swimming and kayak launching, along with walking trails. Nearby alternatives include Desoto State Park Campground to the north and campgrounds near Fort Payne for campers weighing additional options in the region. Tent campers and those with rooftop tents will find this campground a better fit than RV-focused facilities in the area.
