Best Campgrounds near Cherokee, AL

This was a great one night stay. Campsite 23 is right next to the creek with a pull through site with gravel. It has a firepit/grill combo and a nice table! Has water and electrical hookups!

Well managed and kept clean. The host at campground #1 has been there 9 years!

This is a great little campground tucked away on the edge of Bankhead National Forest. The location of the campground makes it an excellent location to enjoy the numerous waterfall hikes in the area. The campground was laid out well with spacious gravel sites and full hookups. Sites 2-4 had good views of the pond/field, sites 10-15 backed up to the tree line to provide a little shade all other sites had full sun. The camp host was super friendly and helpful. They have a general store, laundry, bathhouse, and small dog park. The campground has hiking trails on the property if you don’t have time to visit Bankhead NF. If you’re in the area or wanting to spend time in Bankhead NF I’d recommend checking this campground out.

The scenery was absolutely amazing! I’ve been to dismals canyons a few times but this was my first camp. We stayed under the waterfall the first night which was amazing but the other site had zero level ground and we found ourselves waking up multiple times just to scoot ourselves back up in our tent. We also had an awful experience with the lady at the desk after we were completely jipped our night tour that we weren’t given and weren’t refunded. But the nature itself is amazing. I won’t be back

Site 13 with electric and lake side was perfectly level and near restroom with showers, which were large!

Enjoyed hiking this park. I did not camp here but look forward to doing so in the near future.

This review is based on a short stay campground (CG). We followed our GPS right to this CG off US-45 just south of Corinth. We were instructed by the very nice owner, Jim, to call when we were 30 minutes out so he could meet us. Jim was right there when we pulled in and we had the choice of two pull throughs or a back-in. We chose back-in site E with FHUs for our two night’s stay. The back-in was easy and the site was fairly level as we had no problems auto-leveling. Water pressure was good at around 45 psi. We had no problems with utilities that were towards the back of the pad as we could back in a good distance. There were no playground, picnic tables nor fire pits. The CG has full timers and seasonal campers, who were very nice. They have a nice bathroom with a shower plus a small laundry with one washer and dryer. The washing is free and drying costs$1. We got two bars on Verizon and a clear shot north for Starlink. This CG is listed under Passport America but looking at reviews on multiple sites, Jim charges everyone the same price around$30. There’s no dog area, but plenty of room to walk your pups. US-45 is near so you get highway noise. After several attempts, we never got connected to the CG’s wifi. Corinth has all your major amenities such as Walmart, Lowes, etc. Borroum's Drug Store and Soda Fountain is a throwback in time and a great place to get lunch. Get there early though, as they fill up fast.We enjoyed our stay in this no frills, laid back, and friendly CG. We would definitely stay here again.

Stayed here for two nights. This place has everything we expect in a state park. Good roads, good day use area, great bathrooms, good spacing between campsites, beautiful views and camp store.

Showers were very hot and the bathrooms were very clean!

The best part was the price. I showed up without a reservation and got two nights with water and electric service for real cheap compared to everywhere else we camped for the last 7 months.

This city campground has many beautiful lakeside campsites along Bear Creek.  Sites are first-come, first-served.  We camped here in mid-October and had no problems getting a site.  The campground staff were friendly and helpful.

The site is gravel with large wooden beams surrounding it.  We had to put a couple boards under the passenger side tires to level our rig; the site was pretty level from front to rear.  Easy setup.

The campground was quiet during the evenings.  Fire rings are not provided, so bring your own fire pit if you'd like a campfire. 

The park WiFi worked well for us - strong signal, roughly 40mbps download speeds.  Using T-Mobile, we had strong 5G service.

Stayed in primitive area and a couple sites are close to water but not a good walk way down to water.

This campground is nothing like the pictures or reviews. A complete dump top to bottom. Lots of problems from staff to grounds. And Staff is rude and do nothing but smoke and stand around.

Stopped at Pickwick Landing SP on a trip West to the Ozark National River. Nice campground but a little worn around the edges. Campground was mostly empty. We were in site 30, and the only people in that loop on a Friday night. They had recently had a lot of rain, and it rained most of the night. But it didn’t bother us. The asphalt on some of the roads was breaking up making for a rough road. But the campsite was large and mostly level. The bathrooms and showers were modern and well maintained. It is only 20 minutes from Shiloh National Battlefield Park which is worth the visit. We only stayed one night. Also- be sure to visit the Catfish Farm Restaurant. Smoked catfish is outstanding!

We will be back in the fall for an extended weekend trip. Staff was super friendly and helpful helping us find ice cream during a storm rolling thru. The site we had was up hill facing the lake which worked out with a small trailer.

Stayed here for two nights. The site we booked was way too close to the restrooms, so we asked for a different location. The staff was great and let us pick a spot to change to. Lots of wildlife that comes out at dark looking for free food!

Ended up at this location after a crappy night in Alabama. It was very clean nice location. Very nice Mississippi State Park Campground. All the staff were very friendly and Gary was a great guy that we chatted with for a bit after checking in. Restrooms were clean and air conditioned. Family type campgrounds with friendly happy campers. We will be back a lot more in the future.

This is a huge, beautiful campground with spots that back right up to the water's edge. There are plenty of amenities for the kids, and we had a blast. Definitely pack lots of bug repellent if you stay on the water.

Older campsite some improvements needed in the parking locations. Nice quiet, camping plenty of trees great for the dogs. Watching the squirrels chasing their nuts. We did have a raccoon jump on top of the RV at 1am and I think the wife shit herself! Write that down….

Stayed here on an overnight while driving through the state. Great site tucked in the woods, very private area. Huge field with little light pollution to stargaze. Very friendly host. Would Recommend.

I only have great things to say. We truly enjoyed our stay, we were right on the water. Its quiet & there's plenty of room between sites so your not sitting on top of your neighbor's. There's horse back riding, paddle boards, jet skis, electric bicycles to rent & Kayaks. We can not wait to stay again. The ladies up front were super helpful & definitely keep the morale up with their bubbly personalities.
