Tishomingo State Park Campground
Best State Park in MS
Around 12 miles of trails, 43 acre lake, Bear Creek flows through the middle of the park providing class 1 & 2 rapids. Canoe trips are available but I prefer kayaking further downstream. They have 3 different disc golf courses throughout the park with disc rental at the office, as well pavillions, picnic tables, grills, literally anything you could ask for.

Peaceful Camping!
We've visited Tishomingo State Park twice in the last few months. The first was in February when we stayed at the cabins. They have big porches, a kitchen, bathroom, and two beds which was perfect for two couples to visit. They are quite old, but it adds to the charm of the cabins. We had a fire in the fire pit at night, played disc golf, hiked, and walked down to the river to sit a bit. Such a nice weekend!
Easter weekend we took our camper to Tishomingo State Park. It was a lovely time despite the rain on Friday night! We spent one afternoon playing disc golf and hiking. The hiking trails are lovely! Our dog enjoyed it too. On Easter weekend, there is a huge Easter egg hunt for children which drew a lot of people.

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

Nice lakeside park
Nice quiet park out on the lake. We were in loop C at the end of the improved sites. The site was level, but the power, water, and sewer were all closer to the center or front of the site than the rear. That wasn’t a dealbreaker, but the sewer was a good bit higher than the paved pad. This made dumping the black tank a little iffy at best. That aside, the park is full of deer, squirrels, birds, all kinds of stuff for the kids to look at. The playground is a bit dated, and the bathhouse could use renovation, but was functioning and relatively clean. The sites are too close together which was nice. It looked as though all of the improved sites had a fire ring and picnic table. There was a dumpster at the end of our loop where the road to the primitive campsites started, so it was only about a minute walk away. The camp store at the front had all the essentials and some souvenirs, as well as the laundry facility. Everyone we met there, including the staff and volunteers, were all great. The kids loved it, and we will definitely be back to the park again.

Overnight Getaway
My husband and I went on our first camper trip here. It was breathtakingly beautiful! 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. They have a tie-down for animals, fire pit (with grill), all the hook ups for the rv/campers, and even gave us free food upon arrival. It was a perfect getaway for just the 2 of us, but we plan to bring our children next time!

Tishomingo State Park Campground
Quaint and quiet
This is our first visit here. First impressions are that it is a small, quiet park. It turned out to be less than we expected but not total a let down. The drive in and area in and around the park are beautiful scenic areas. We have encountered several trails, a lake, basketball area, pool, and other typical campground facilities. The sites themselves are mostly spacious with rather small camper pads. The green areas around the pads are spacious but mostly in even. We had a hard time finding an area flat enough to put up out tent on level ground. There is a grill, fire ring, and picnic table on each site.

Pleasant and affordable place to camp
We arrived just before 5pm on a Sunday at the end of October and had no problem securing a site. If you are over 65, you pay the same for a site with water and electric as you would for a primitive site ($16). Compared to other states, this was a pleasant surprise. Many sites back up to the lake and have generous sized concrete pads. Most we saw appeared level. Our picnic table was down a hill by the water so it was a hike to it but very pleasant for eating. I would imagine that at other times of the year staying here might not be so pleasant (heat and humidity plus we saw the remains of some HUGE ant hills). No fire rings but it looks like previous visitors may have built fires in the sandy area near the beach. Bathrooms were reasonably clean but they don’t have soap. I also don’t understand why there was one across from site 12 and one more not far down the road but for the last half of the loop, there weren’t any (except for one that had a closed sign and appeared to be more “rustic”). I’m guessing that people in those sites have fully equipped RVs. Good cell service for Verizon in the campground. Nice hiking trails - we liked the Outcroppings Trail. Evidence of the work of the CCC in the Park, especially the swinging bridge. Overall, a pleasant stay.
Guide to Haleyville
Cabin rental options near Haleyville, Alabama range from rustic to modern accommodations across several parks within a 45-minute drive. The region sits in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains at elevations between 600-1000 feet, creating distinct seasonal camping conditions. Summer temperatures regularly reach 90°F with high humidity, while winter nights can drop below freezing, making cabin amenities particularly valuable for year-round visitors.
What to do
Hiking in Bankhead National Forest: Located near Bama Campground & RV Park, this forest offers numerous waterfall trails. "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," notes Jennifer H.
Explore Dismals Canyon: This unique geological formation near Haleyville features rare bioluminescent creatures. "We stayed in early August for 2 nights in the Sleeping Waters campground... 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," shares Rebekah C. from Dismals Canyon Cabins and Primitive Campsites.
Water activities on Smith Lake: Fishing, swimming and boating are popular at this 21,000-acre reservoir. "Awesome place with a beautiful lake! Lots of playgrounds for the kids and some very nice camping spots!" reports Paul G. about his experience at Smith Lake Park.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Many cabin rentals offer good separation from neighbors. "The campground is very nice and woodsy. The campsites have water and electric hookups. They have nice paddocks for your horses. The multiple trails are so beautiful," mentions Belinda H. about Faye Whittemore Farms Inc.
Clean facilities: Bathhouses at many Haleyville area campgrounds receive positive reviews. "The bathhouse was clean considering more people last time I came it was off season and not the weekend was worried it would be too crowded," notes Sherry P. about Smith Lake Park.
Lakefront views: Many cabin accommodations provide direct water access. "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. about Decatur/Wheeler Lake KOA Holiday.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most cabins need advance booking, especially during peak seasons. "This is a nice 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," reports Jennifer H. about Bama Campground & RV Park.
Variable fee structures: Cabin costs differ significantly between parks, with some charging additional fees. "This is a nice little spot but they nickel and dime you to death. Sites are anywhere from $27/night to $48/night. But then they also charge you a $5 cleaning fee and a 'one time admission fee' of $30," cautions Sarah C. regarding Dismals Canyon.
Cell service limitations: Many cabins near Haleyville have poor connectivity. "I had no reception with Verizon but my AT&T hotspot had good reception," reports Mara S. about Thousand Trails Hidden Cove.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several parks offer play areas for children. "We stayed with 3 dogs and it could not have been better! The bathhouse was amazing and we practically had the park to ourselves! Dogs loved running around smelling all the smells!" writes Zachary J. about Togetherness Works RV Park.
Swimming options: Public beaches and pools provide water recreation. "My husband and I went on our first camper trip here. It was breathtakingly beautiful! 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," shares Mallory H. about Decatur/Wheeler Lake KOA Holiday.
Bug preparation: Pack insect repellent, especially for waterfront cabins. "Bring bug spray," advises Trinity W. after her stay at Dismals Canyon, noting the need for protection particularly near water.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose based on shade and hookup needs. "We stayed in A25 RV/Tent spot and had a beautiful view of the lake. Great little hiking trails near by. We ended up in this spot because the dispersed camping area had tornado destruction from years ago," notes Michael C. about Joe Wheeler State Park Campground.
Supply considerations: Most stores near cabin rentals have limited inventory. "Dollar General stores and small markets are located within driving distance of most cabin sites," but as one camper noted about Thousand Trails Hidden Cove, "it is about 45 minutes from a town with a good grocery store or restaurants."
Seasonal preparation: Weather affects cabin comfort significantly. Summer visitors need cooling options while winter guests should confirm heating systems. "Summer temperatures regularly reach 90°F with high humidity while winter nights can drop below freezing in the Haleyville area," making cabin amenities particularly valuable for year-round visitors.
