Best Cabin Camping near Moulton, AL

174 Reviews

Cabins near Moulton, Alabama range from rustic to fully furnished accommodations at several established campgrounds. Joe Wheeler State Park Campground offers cabins perched on the side of the mountain, equipped with kitchens, fireplaces, separate showers and baths, cable television, outdoor grills, and picnic tables. Monte Sano State Park features 14 rustic cabins, 11 built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, with modern amenities including full kitchens. "The cabins are clean and quiet. They have a full kitchen, bathroom, and ours slept two in a double bed, but there is room in the living area for cots or sleeping on the couch if you wanted," noted one visitor about Elliot Branch cabins. Decatur/Wheeler Lake KOA Holiday provides waterfront cabin options with convenient access to the lake.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Monte Sano's cabins feature porches designed for enjoying mountain sunrises, while Dismals Canyon offers more secluded cabin options with generously sized kitchens, living rooms with fireplaces, and two bedrooms. Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during summer months and weekends. Pet policies vary by location, with many campgrounds allowing pets in or near cabins. A visitor to Decatur/Wheeler Lake KOA Holiday commented, "They have cabins, rv/camper/tent sites waterside, and more. We fished feet from our camper off of the bank." Thousand Trails Hidden Cove and Smith Lake Park also offer cabin rentals with varying amenities.

Most cabins include basic furniture but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic to fully equipped, with some cabins offering refrigerators, stoves, and microwaves. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations, including Monte Sano State Park where it costs $7.50 per bundle. Nearby towns provide access to groceries and supplies, with Cullman and Jasper approximately 20-30 minutes from Hidden Cove. Cabin guests should check specific amenity lists when booking as features vary significantly between locations. Heating and cooling systems are standard in most cabins, making them suitable for year-round use, as most parks in the region operate throughout all seasons.

    Monte Sano State Park Campground

    Top of the Mountain with Great Views

    We heard from other campers that if you go to Huntsville, Alabama that you have to stop at Monte Sano State Park. We took our Class C up the mountain and was able to reserve full hookups in a nicely wooded area. Sites were level gravel with picnic tables and grill. Great place to bring a trail bike or take hikes. Pet friendly.

    Monte Sano State Park Campground

    Adventure for any RVer or Camper. Very nice campsites, hiking, biking !

    Monte Sano State Park is located near Huntsville in northeast Alabama. In Spanish, Monte Sano means “Mountain of Health.” In the late 1800s, visitors from across the United States came for “the season” to experience and enjoy Monte Sano’s fresh air, spectacular views and mineral springs. Fourteen rustic cabins, 11 of which were built by the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC), are perched on the side of the mountain and are equipped with kitchens, fireplaces, separate showers and baths, cable television, outdoor grills, picnic tables, and porches for taking in the amazing sunrises.

    The park also features 89 improved campsites, a primitive campground and a camp store.

    Monte Sano State Park Campground

    Fun exploring

    This land trust and state park offers a fun little get away in northern Alabama, just outside the city of Huntsville. The campground is well maintained and the sites have tons of shade that make the warm summer days a bit easier to tolerate.

    Each site has a large gravel area, picnic table and fire ring. There are 80+ sites but not all of them provide hookups, so be sure to pay close attention when reserving your site. At the western end of the park there is a loop that offers primitive camping that is a bit more secluded and away from the RV hustle and bustle. So if you're more of a tent camper that doesn't enjoy the noise of generators or the sight of large RVs, this may be more up your alley. The showers are located in the two loops of the developed sections of the park.

    This park does offer laundry facilities which is nice if you find yourself here for a longer time period or in the midst of a long road trip.

    This park also offers nice hiking trails to explore while you're here.

    Monte Sano State Park Campground

    So Much to Do at Monte Sano.

    We visited Monte Sano State Park in the middle of summer (June) and stayed in the campground for five nights. We made our reservations through the Alabama State Parks web reservation portal at https://guestrez.megasyshms.com/5Q5BT for campground and cabin rentals. 

    The campground is located near the city of Huntsville, Alabama to the east. The park was easily accessible and the drive from the city to the park was not typical as it takes you though some of Huntsville’s neighborhoods before arriving to the park’s entrance. Once we arrived we went directly to the visitor’s center where the staff was friendly and organized. Our paperwork was already completed so the check in process was quick but very informative. We also received the gate code for the campground as the gate is electronically operated and closes after every opening to provide a welcomed level of security. We stayed in site 25 of the first loop, the park was not crowded in the campground as the summer temperatures were near extreme highs. The camp sites are very well spaced and there’s enough trees and underbrush to offer privacy. There are a few sites that have full hookups but most are without sewer. The park map I’ve included shows the ones with full hook up services. The bath houses were clean and orderly, the staff came by in the mornings to clean and restock. There are two camper/tent loops with rest rooms and showers at each. One tent only loop with no facilities but beautiful large sites. 

    The park has several scenic areas where the views of the mountains are great and provides a nice place to sit and ponder. There's also an operational Planetarium on the park sponsored and operated by the Von Braun Astronomical Society (https://www.vbas.org/). There are shows on Saturday’s at 7:30PM with an admission or $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for students. You will need to get there early though as parking is limited but worth the effort to visit. 

    There are miles and miles of bike and hiking trails here, on the weekend it’s amazing how many cyclists come here to ride the trails. Some of the trails are very aggressive and some moderate for those of us that want this pace, the parks paved roads also offer a good place for a casual ride in the evenings. 

    All in all, we really enjoyed this park and will add this to our return list in the future. I also have to recommend a visit to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center (https://www.rocketcenter.com/) in Huntsville, you won’t be disappointed.

    Monte Sano State Park Campground

    Some much fun so close to home

    Although we have been to Monte Sano many times to hike and attend events, this was our first time camping here. Monte State Park Campground is a large campground with 15 full hookup sites, 59 water& electric sites, and 21 primitive tent sites. All the sites are gravel, most sites are wooded with lots of shade, and most site are mainly level. All style sites include a picnic table and fire ring. 

    Check-in is at the camp store if you arrive during store hours or with camp host if you arrive after hours. We stayed on site 24, which had complete shade throughout the day. This site backs up to a draw and each evening just before dust we could watch the deer walk up through. 

    The bathhouse is centrally located, newer, and cleaned daily. There are also laundry machines available between the men’s and women’s area. 

    Firewood, ice, limited grocery items, and souvenirs were available at the camp store. There is a full grocery store about 15 minutes away. 

    We found ok to limited cell phone service with Verizon throughout the property. The state park did have wi-fi near the camp store. 

    The park has many trails for hiking and mountain biking, as well as host the North Alabama Japanese Garden. The North Alabama Land Trust also connects to the state park and adds many more miles of trails. We hiked about 15 miles this weekend and there are many more miles to explore on another visit. 

    The state park is located 5 minutes from Huntsville where you can find many restaurants, breweries, and the Space& Rocket Center. Check the Huntsville visitor’s center website for all that is offered in the area. In addition, the Burritt on the Mountain located just minutes from the park entrance and has an open air museum and an amazing overlook of Huntsville. 

    We are very excited that this gem is located so close to use and are proud to call this our home camp!

    Close to I-65. Easily accessible, pull throughs for most sites.

    This is a friendly, clean, campground. Staff is helpful, guide you to site and help you park. Sites provide easy access with ample space for RV and vehicle or trailer. Quiet park, pet friendly with areas to walk you pet with grass and trees.

    Monte Sano State Park Campground

    Beautiful, North Alabama State Park

    Scenic Mountain View! Arrived and greeted by staff at the State Park guard gate, then checked into campground at separate office. Map and instructions given. Nice gravel back-in-site, water and 50amp hook ups. Picnic table and fire-ring at each site. Lots of trees. Sites spaced but not private, not at 33. Lots of traffic , since it is at the entrance and lots of kids riding bikes behind our site as well as tents directly in front of us. Will venture out and explore after the rain, and update as I get info. We Have Starlink, still with very poor reception((under 50) and little to no connectivity with T-Mobile. Would not reserve here for 2 weeks again at this site, for lack of privacy and for partial hook ups.

    Monte Sano State Park Campground

    Primative sites offer lots of space, but little privacy

    Our site was massive, but was situated right next to park entrance and major hiking thoroughfare.

    Our site had a place to park and a fire ring that was full to the rim of coals and half burnt logs. It didn't take long to clear it out, but the pit was extremely muddy and lighting a fire meant a ton of smoke. No picnic table here.

    The best sites were along the ridge, but are divided into AB sites. So you are sharing basics amenities with a neighbor. This site design seems to be suited for families or groups, but if you are wanting a site with a view you are kinda stuck. Not all of the improved sites are suitable for tents.

    Their staff is A+ if you have never been, call ahead and book over the phone. The staff know this campground well and can steer you in the right direction every time.

    The lower score comes from the park being rough around some of the edges. The CCC museum is a small shack, not really worth your time. The Northern Alabama Japanese Tea Garden is a bit of a head scratcher to say the least. There is a disc golf course the plows through the middle of it and the trails (while peaceful) lead you off to the main road.

    We had booked two nights here, but decided to move on after only one night. 

    (Sadly didn't have time to take pictures, but the leaves were beautiful.)

    Leaves were in peak color, the temperature was 65 all day and night due to wind and was a really pleasant

    Smith Lake Park

    Great place

    I really enjoy Smith lake campground it has a lot of great sites. There are plenty of shades sites for summer camping. They have primitive and powered sites with most having picnic tables and some with shared water. It is very affordable and quiet with lots to do. They have canoe rentals, mini golf, pool, and a beach area by the lake. The bathhouses are close by to the powered sites which is really nice. The only drawbacks are the bathhouses at least for the mens side is they need to have a place to hang your shower bag with clothes and toiletries instead of having to sit them on the floor. (Tip now that I've been a couple of times go buy a suction cup hook to hang your bag or towel on). I'll definitely be going back! Note you'll have to check with front office about pool and canoe rentals due to the covid-19. 403 Co Rd 386, Cullman, AL 35057

Guide to Moulton

The region experiences a mild but variable climate with hot summers reaching 90°F and winter lows dipping to the 30s. Rainfall averages 55 inches annually, making proper site drainage a consideration for cabin stays.

What to do

Lakeside activities: Decatur/Wheeler Lake KOA Holiday offers water activities with convenient equipment rentals. "They have a rope course, water activities/rentals, cabins, rv/camper/tent sites waterside, and more. We fished feet from our camper off of the bank," notes Mallory H., highlighting the accessible fishing opportunities.

Canyon exploration: Dismals Canyon Cabins and Primitive Campsites features unique natural formations and rare bioluminescent creatures. "After we got everything set up and got all the lights out, we noticed the glowing dismalites along the Canyon wall behind our tent!! It was super cool. We also had a creek flowing with crawdads, minnows, and bull frogs," explains Rebekah C., describing the diverse wildlife.

Hiking trails: Monte Sano State Park Campground offers extensive trail systems for all skill levels. "The hiking is moderate to extreme up and down some interesting rock formations. The mountain bikers and bikers seem to enjoy themselves too, flying down the closed roadway or the steep roadways and challenging themselves on the rocky terrain," shares Shelly S., noting the terrain variety.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Joe Wheeler State Park Campground offers spacious camping areas. "All sites are spacious! Hiking trails all around with water access everywhere!" comments Noel J., emphasizing the ample room between sites.

Waterfront views: Cabins with lake views provide direct water access. "Very friendly people, beautiful setting, very clean cabin, peaceful and so nice to watch the sunset and sunrise from the beautiful shoreline in the screen porch," reports Marika L. from Decatur/Wheeler Lake KOA Holiday.

Seasonal wildlife viewing: Smith Lake Park offers opportunities to observe local fauna. "We fished feet from our camper off of the bank. They have a tie-down for animals, fire pit (with grill), all the hook ups for the rv/campers," notes Mallory H., highlighting the accessible fishing and amenities.

What you should know

Waterside bug prevention: Pack insect repellent for lakeside stays. "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," advises Elizabeth H. from Decatur/Wheeler Lake KOA Holiday.

Distance from supplies: Thousand Trails Hidden Cove is remote, requiring planning ahead. "We were here during winter, so there wasn't a lot going on. This is a nice campground that is adding a lot of new sites. The older sites seem to be mostly 30 amp, FHU. They do have some 50 amp, and it looks like all the new sites are 50 amp," explains Jason E., noting the ongoing improvements.

Connectivity considerations: Cell service varies dramatically between cabin locations. "I had no reception with Verizon but my AT&T hotspot had good reception," reports Mara S. from Thousand Trails Hidden Cove, highlighting the importance of having backup communication options.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly facilities: Look for cabins with nearby playgrounds. "This campground is perfect for a weekend getaway. Being right by water and soaking in the tranquility of this campground is the recharge anyone needs heading back to the real world," explains Leah S. from Decatur/Wheeler Lake KOA Holiday.

Water safety planning: Cabin rentals near swimming areas require supervision. "There's a nice fairly deep reservoir to swim in, as well as creeks and streams throughout. Also waterfalls, giant trees, and many neat rock structures," notes Trinity W. about the water features at Dismals Canyon.

Educational opportunities: Bama Campground & RV Park provides nature learning experiences. "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," describes Jennifer H., highlighting the access to natural features.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Choose sites based on seasonal shade needs. "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," explains Jennifer H. from Bama Campground & RV Park, providing specific information about site positions.

Leveling considerations: Terrain varies significantly between cabin areas. "The pull thrus are not a true pull thru. Just a big gravel lot!!" notes Stephen R. about Smith Lake Park, highlighting the importance of checking site configurations before booking.

Off-season advantages: Winter and fall visits offer unique experiences. "We stayed in spot 12. Beautiful lakefront location! Electric/water hookup only. Workers were wonderful and place all together is clean and well maintained," shares Ella M. from Decatur/Wheeler Lake KOA Holiday, describing the well-maintained facilities available year-round.
