Best Glamping near Arab, AL

Well designed campground in the hills of Northern Alabama. Sites are well spaced. Well maintained. The lake is pretty. Each site has fire pit and table. The price was a little high even with the senior pass. Not much cell service.

**Corinth Recreation Area– USFS **

Corinth Recreation area is located near the town of Double Springs, Alabama. The area is operated and maintained by the United State Forest Service (USFS) and can be reserved through www.recreation.gov. There are 52 total sites here and most reserved on line, there are a few sites only available as walk ins. This area is very clean and really quiet at night, the campgrounds are near the lakes edge but not lakeside. The sites are very well maintained, paved and gravel with full services including sewer. There are two RV campgrounds, Firefly and Yellowhammer. We stayed at Yellowhammer as this had more shaded sites than Firefly. There’s also a few tent only sites between the two loops. The bathrooms were clean and the staff was pleasant during our visit, we stayed five days and found so much to see near by the campground. There is very nice boat ramp on the park for easy access to Smith Lake, the beach area is also a great asset. Clean with a well-marked swimming area with bathrooms near the beach area. 

The Houston Jail (http://soloso.com/houston/) was a few miles away, this is the only surviving jail constructed from logs in 1818. It’s a historical landmark and worth the short drive to go and see. 

Natural Bridge Park (https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/alabama/natural-bridge-al/) is located in Natural Bridge, Alabama is also nearby. This rock formation is the longest sandstone natural rock bridge east of the Rocky Mountains. It’s a good hike through well marked trails and there is a small gift shop that also sells refreshments.

Dismals Canyon (https://www.dismalscanyon.com/) is thirty miles from the campground near the town of Phil Campbell, Alabama. This natural formation will make you question if you are really in Alabama. The hike is a good way to spend the day in a shaded but humid natural wonder. You can also attend a night hike to see the dismalites that only reside in a few places in the world. 

The Bankhead National Forest surrounds the entire area. The forest is huge and trying to visit the area waterfalls and trails without a plan is not recommended. Take the time to study the area maps and map the accessible roads before heading out. We actually stopped by the NSFS Office to ask for information, there was also a large map of the area there you can take a picture of that will help you with your planning. 

We had a wonderful time here at Corinth, we especially liked the campground and the deer that would come out to graze every evening. This coupled with the fireflies really made this stay memorable, we’ll be back.

There are few places in Alabama that RVers can camp on a pristine Lake Front. Honeycome Campground is located on Lake Guntersville; AL. A perfect secure campground for those camping alone or with your family. During season and with the uptick of camping wit COVID it’s hard to book a site but well worth it if you can plan ahead or camp during the week. I Highly recommend this campground. Only downfall is no sewer hook up but they do have a honeypot service and 2 dump stations.

First, I’ve stayed here many times tent camping with more than one tent on one site with no issues. We took a camper this time and met up with some family who would be staying in a tent. We set up site and hung up a hammock, and within minutes, an employee came and rudely told us our set up wasn’t allowed. We had to take down our hammock (never had that happen anywhere else before), and forced us to pay an extra $75 to rent the neighboring site for our family to set up their tent for the weekend. When they came back around, they said, “You didn’t have to move your tent, you just had to rent the extra site.” It made zero sense, especially when we had noted at reservation that we’d have more than one vehicle, a tent, a camper, and 4 adults + 3 kids. Next came check out. We waited for 3 hours for our turn to use the dump site, we were all packed up and ready to go at 9:30am. To be such a large park, more than one dump site is needed. There’s also a ton of traffic going in and out, so it wasn’t super quiet or anything. We won’t be back, it’s overrated, over priced, and run by rude people.

Campground is on the Tennessee River/ Lake Guntersville and has swim area and boat ramp. Great sites.

Loved our site, beach area and the staff was very helpful

Our site was spacious and right on the lake. The beach was very nice and the staff was beyond helpful

Stayed at site 74 lakeside, plenty of room. Great site

wan't sure about it in the first place. got three nights but after about 2 hours herewanted to cancel the next 2 nights but they wanted to just refund $24.so they charge next day plus $15 fee to cancel, I thought that was to high just to cancel after 2 hrs. They want to charge extra for everything, 15 sec, showers ,5 sec sink, the campground is not well maintain, some sites are to short, most sites are to close, our site was ok ( no neighbors ). They have america the beautiful pass discount about $1.50 off, You better stick with the national parks or the army corps on recreation .gov. half off. would not recommend this campground. look first if you think you like it stay 1 night first then go from there. staff seemed nice until you want to cancel then they want to get cocky. This was Christmas but they don't care ,they just want your money.

This campground is great for families, couples, singles, whatever! Whether you’re tent camping or have an RV this place is for you. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. The restrooms and showers are very clean. 10/10 would recommend. Stayed a couple months ago and going back in September.

This has quickly become one of our favorite places to camp. It is quiet and relaxing. The views are amazing. The only downside is that they do not have sewer hookups.

It was our first time here and it was really nice. Very clean and they were clearly doing extra cleaning due to covid. The staff is friendly and store prices are reasonable. They keep a good eye on the place, but we didnt find it intrusive. There are a lot of full time spots, so there's golf cart traffic. They are limited on full hook ups, but the bath house is nice and clean. The showers are individual rooms with locking door which is really nice for security, but they are limited in number. The grounds are well kept. It's mostly sloped or water front so not a lot of space for outdoor rec unless it corn hole or just throwing a ball. Water and location are beautiful.

Honeycomb Campground has it all. Great camping sites with beautiful views on and off the water. Some tent sites and cabins you can reserve to stay in. If you don’t have a camper they have those also that you can rent. They have boat rentals too. Clean bathhouses  and a  very friendly  staff.  They have it all.

We’ve been camping here for over a decade and have always enjoyed our stays, the staff are helpful and friendly and the facilities are all clean. The lake access is amazing as well.

If you want to relax, go to Honeycomb. If you want to fish, go to Honeycomb. Some campers make this their home. We really liked our site on the lake in May.

This campsite had beautiful waterfront lots but many of the interior sites were full of long term RVs who have personalized their lots to the extreme. I felt it detracted from a gorgeous location.

My kids did love the beach front entrance that was built for lake access and swimming. The camp store was well supplied. The staff was also great!
