Best Glamping near Auburn, AL

We had a great time here. Nice large site. Biking was great, good hills a little hard on these novice riders 🤣 there was also a bike trail just outside the gate that was paved and Paralleled a roadway...several geocaches. The city of Auburn was close and beat too. Drank milkshakes on the lawn of Auburn University. If you are there on a Sunday check out Auburn City Church!

Chewacla State Park is adjacent to Auburn, AL, and it stays busy due to the proximity of the school and city. I stayed twice for a geology class and found the campsites and amenities to be wonderful. The trails around the park are not very extensive, however there are mountain biking trails covering most of the park. The main hiking trail runs down to a small waterfall where you can spread out and roam as you please. Both times I visited it was very busy, but that did little to detract from the experience. Just don't visit with the intent of seclusion.

First time in this area and very pleased with the campground and site. Close to Auburn and Tuskegee. Site utilities were in good condition and we enjoyed the area. Verizon signal good.

Even though you are technically within the city limits of Auburn, you really feel like you are away from it all. Perfect for camping with the Boy Scouts or just a day of hiking with the family, there is something for everyone here. Covered pavilions, fishing, hiking, camping, bike trails, you name it, there is something for everyone. My preference is to hike, but if camping is your thing, there are plenty of options, from primitive camping to RV spots. Try this hidden gem!

Campground is fairly large with lots of sites for RVs, a few Cabins, yurts, and even tent sites. There is a really nice and well maintained pool, hot tub, and splash area for small kids. The RV sites near the pool are concrete pads and well spaced out. The sites below the pool area are a little tighter and un-level and our lot was covered in ants. Since we arrived late at night we didn’t realize the amount of ants until we woke up to them crawling all over our camper. 30 amp circuit was not adequate. The breaker continually tripped while using small kitchen appliances. Other than that we had a great time and really appreciated the trash pickup twice a day and the Dollar General that was only a 1/4 mile down the road.

This is a great campground just off the interstate with great swimming, biking, and a waterfall. It has a lot of history related to Auburn University and is popular with students as well as past generations of students. But it continues to be a good family friendly destination. Flat campground with good services. We recently stayed in a cabin after staying in the campground years prior. The cabins are built by CCC and are lovely historic dwellings with great stone fireplaces and wood work. We were in cabin 2, the sofa bed needs to be replaced. The lake connector trail goes in front of the cabin but down the hill. On a Saturday in spring this trail is highly trafficked. The cabin comes with a flat bottom john boat but our was actually TAKEN after we unlocked it. The park rangers could care less when we reported it. The experienced mountain bike trail is just next to the cabins and is a great obstacle course for kids learning. The playgrounds are old and outdated but this can be a good thing to those nostalgic for swinging metal playgrounds. The concrete diving pier on the lake is a classic with an old school high dive. We were not there during football season for our second stay but it is very hard to get a cabin in the fall. It is a great family destination for the day or the weekend.

Site 16 Back in Gravel 50 amp Water Amazing site on the water! Spacious site, plenty of privacy. Very clean cg. Bathrooms nearby, but showers are around the corner. Very clean, just older. Plenty of walking, and biking over the dam into Alabama! Beautiful lake for swimming, canoes, or kayaking.

The campground is developed and maintained by the Corp of Engineers, so everything is well designed and maintained. The lots are hugh. most are on the water. Some sites are so private you’d think you are alone. The park is spread out so that each loop is so far from the others you can’t hear or see them. The roads are in great shape. One could rollerblade on the asphalt. You can swim, fish or boat right from your site. lots of hiking trails. The forest is very diverse, with lots of large oaks, pines, cedars, and more. not a single dead tree anywhere. Even in the loops that are most popular, the lots are 120 feet apart at least. There are pavilions on two of the loops that campers use.

The attendants were helpful and polite. We will bring our bikes next time. We walked several miles each day exploring. We’ve camped at Wind Creek State Park before and in comparison we liked this one better because the lots are much larger and you get more beach area per lot. The showers are typical state park showers, no complaints. The place is very clean, no trash, limbs or clutter. the grass is kept trimmed. There were tennis courts and a basket ball court if one desires. The park is right on the Alabama/Georgia line, in Alabama but on Eastern time, a little weird. There are 30 and 50 amp lots with water but no sewer, but with a dumping station. we noticed most folks had the portable sewer tanks. we value privacy, but if you want to camp in groups there are loops that accomidate that well. We will go back for sure.

We use AT&T and got two bars at our site, which allowed us to stream Netflix with no buffering.

Good site, plenty of room for rv with fire pit and grill. Nice shady spot. Great hike to an amazing g fall close by, and dont hesitate to venture further for other waterfalls. On thing I would say was not so great, laundry space and bathrooms could use update.

It’s in a nice park with water features, they have a swimming area, small creek, and falls. Many areas have killed mtb trails to ride, worth a sniff, the camp fees are a bit steep for a state park in my opinion beyond that great

Stayed here while grandson played Allstars in Smith Station Al . Nice small park with lots to do feom bike trails to swimming and waterfalls

We called to book our stay while on the road and were treated with friendly, helpful staff. Our site was perfect with plenty of space and easy to get into. We hiked a trail to the waterfalls and really enjoyed the view. There is a lake on the property with a beach. This was a great place to stay!

As a local I’ve spent days worth of time here, it’s great to set up a hammock near the waterfall or tent for an overnight stay.

Decent hiking. Trails aren’t very difficult, pet friendly.

Nice campground with large, level, full hookup sites. Site 15 is easy back in and large.

Nice campground easy to find and just off of I 85. Large spots and full hookups. Kind of tight entry but my 108 wide camper made it. Very family friendly. Pets are welcome and the staff is very friendly.

We only walked the trails but the many mountain biking trails here were quite impressive. Hot showers, clean bathrooms, flat campsite for our van, and excellent WiFi!
