  Upper Improved Campground — Cheaha State Park

  Stayed at the campground star park

  So so so worth going, I didn’t leave to go anywhere, the hikes was awesome to see. The camp site I stayed was beautiful woke got to see the sun set. I rode my motorcycle there so for anyone who ride there motorcycle just be aware there some uneven site for your motorcycle to park. Unless you’re tall and you don’t have problem handling your bike. I’m 5,0 so it was learning curve me to see if I could handle my motorcycle up hill and down hill for campsites

  Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground

  Maiden Voyage

  We just bought our first RV and it was a 22 foot Class C. We decided to stay close to home to try it out, learn everything on it in a forgiving place. Chattahoochee Bend was perfect. Drive through spot for our RV with 50AMP, 30AMP, water and dump service. The place is clean, quiet and in great shape! Electric bikes made it all the more fun, since the single road in, out and all about is quite hilly. Plenty of hiking trails!

  Great option for multiple families or couples.

  Came with a group of friends from town to relax and disconnect. Services are great some cabins and tents having ACs, but primitive camping allowed as well. Great showers and bathhouse with filtered drinking water option that I used daily. Several hiking trails, but also roads to allow those who prefer to ride. They do offer ice, drink and snack delivery service with QR codes in each area. Definitely a place that I plan to revisit, but would refer friends to come as well for a weekend getaway.

  Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground

  One of our favorites!

  We loved this campground! Definitely one of our favorites. The campsites are spacious and private. The amenities are all close by and were super clean the entire time we were there. The playground is more geared toward older children, but it was very well taken care of.

  Our campground hosts at the time (Dennis and Colleen) were so welcoming and friendly. They were always quick to offer a wave and friendly smile every time we saw them. Lisa, the maintenance host, was also fantastic! We enjoyed getting to know all 3 of them.

  The hiking trails are all very clearly marked, and we enjoyed exploring during our time there.

  The closest town is about a 45 min drive, but we didn’t mind at all. Just make sure to stock up before heading to the park.

  We can’t wait to visit this park again. So far it is one of our favorites!

  Under 30ft friendly

  Great get away camping. Nothing nearby. Talledega is 45 minutes away. No Verizon signal at all couldn’t even make a call. There is a cell phone tower on top of the mountain but not sure of the carrier. We stayed on the top campground elevation 2474ft.

  Campground Needs Attention

  PROS 

  Site 27- pull-thru gravel. Very nice moveable 6 ft metal picnic table; fire ring with cooking grate; pedestal BBQ grill 

  Campground very quiet Sunday-Tuesday nights 

  Frequent ranger drive thrus of the campground 

  T Mobile 3 bars 

  CONS 

  Upon arrival, power outage due to storm and lasted until dark. Check-in was not able to be completed so had to return the next day. 

  Paid a transaction fee for making my own on-line reservation along with a resort fee and sales tax 

  No senior or Veteran discount 

  Site 27 greatly unlevel side-to-side 

  Fire ring full of ash upon arrival 

  Street light at Site 28 that lights up all of 28 and most of 27 and 27A. 

  Extremely tight at checkin station. We had to park partially on AL281. There is a very small parking lot at the check-in station with no loop around 

  No trash receptacle in either men’s or woman’s toilets 

  Campground noisy Friday and Saturday nights. Lots of loud music. 

  Bathhouse not serviced over weekend 

  Large rocks throughout the campground had been painted

  (by children) an unsightly vivid paint 

  Don’t Miss 

  Climbing to the top of the CCC Bunker Observation Tower 

  Hiking out to Bald Rock 

  Berman Museum in Anniston 

  Watch—some pull-thru sites have the camper door facing the campground roadway with the picnic table and campfire ring along the campground roadway.

  Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center

  Over all..decent at the best

  Was told things on the phone that later became untrue upon my visit. Staff on phone was pleasant, staff in person, just ok. Was also told i would receive a refund for the trouble of everything…never received it and when I ask later, the lady played dumb as if she never told me. So in all, camp at your own will…

  Long term camping with a family atmosphere

  This is a great campground that has ONLY long term camping so you really get to know your neighbors. The power is not included but the prices are very reasonable. 

  Our lot is spacious, gravel pad with a cement patio.

  Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground

  Cabins are definitely the highlight here!

  The primitive sites (for tents) were a bit close and not as private as I like. 

  They offer platform camping and those sites seem a bit more secluded (and are in a separate area from the tent sites). 

  There are 4 cabins available to reserve and they have great amenities (running water, electricity)

  We looked at them once there and think next time we will do this with the kids. 

  2 rangers live in the park full time and there is a large welcome center/ gift shop with basics for sale should you forget anything.

  Cheaha State Park

  Absolutely beautiful. We went camping in March, and the weather was a little cold, but we survived, lol. If you go on the high falls trail, you must go past the creek there are more falls. This trail isn't for beginners. My only warning is if you stay in the high campgrounds be aware of the weather. We arrived when it rained all day which means very thick fog. We could only see about 10 feet in front of us while driving up the mountain.

  Highland Marina Resort Campground

  Greedy run down resort

  So our family booked 2021 June to reserve two dockside cabins fully paid for and end up having a family emergency where emergency surgery was needed. Due to the severity of the situation considering brain surgery recovery time, the manager at the time gave us credit rather than a refund and said we had two years to use the credit. Since then the new owners have taken over and decided that they will not honor the credit of the business that they purchased. NOWHERE IN OUR PAPERWORK DOES IT STATE THAT THE CREDIT IS ONLY GOOD FOR ONE YEAR. The sum of the reservation was just about three grand and we have come to learn that we are no longer eligible to use our credit because of the new owners/management company. The resolution they came to was that we rebook, spend another 3 grand more on what we have already purchased and they would ever so graciously credit us one night per cabin. UNACCEPTABLE. WE WILL BE FORWARDING THIS TO THE GEORGIA CONSUMER PROTECTION BUREAU. WORD OF ADVICE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS RESORT. LISTEN TO THE PREVIOUS REVIEWS AS MY FAMILY DID NOT AND WE FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY.

  Banning Mills Treehouses

  In the woods

  Banning Mills has 2 parks. 1 that central based are ziplines..90 of them. Great place for the kids or adults who are still kids... Then there's the camp grounds that's about a mile down the road. Very impressive. 1st thing you'll notice is the key card you get at the main office. It opens up these huge Gothic iorn gates. If you don't have a key your not driving in. All the campsites are set back in the woods at different elevations and really cool. It took us about 6 months to get in here. Long waiting list. The rent was $500 a month for a 50amp spot. They have pools and hiking and fishing and zip lines and the tallest man made rock climbing wall...over 100ft tall. They have paddle boats, canoes, fish, snakes, mosquitoes... All.n.all great place. We went during the height of covid 19 so the morning buffet they have was diminished to a plate of food. Cool place.

  Superb!

  Matt and Leigh were so accommodating!!  The bath house was just finished and although there were no hammock sites as of yet, Leigh drove  us around the campground and to help us locate the best spot.  We had to run early, so we hung close to the new bath house and used the electric for our perfect coffee in the morning.  It is under construction but it will be amazing- I’ll be back … often!  Can’t wait to catch some tunes at the barn and just enjoy the incredible solitude and cheerful vibe!

  Good primitive campground. The spot we stayed in is a little rocky and uneven but definitely doable. Some spots are better than others as far as flatness goes. There is a water spicket at every other site. Bathhouse is accessible if nature calls. Regularly patrolled by park services.

  Forest service camp

  Level spaced out sites, probably better for tents but our small camper was fine. It is about 5 miles on dirt road to get there but the road is maintained. Pinhoti trail goes through the camp so plenty of hiking to do. No cell service at all. Nearly all sites have table, fire ring a lantern stand. Very nice creek runs on one side.

  Upper Improved Campground — Cheaha State Park

  Alabama's highest mountain!

  General: Two improved campgrounds (Upper and Lower), two primitive campgrounds, chalets, cabins, and a motel. We camped in the improved Upper campground, so this review is focused on that. I would recommend you arrive during daylight hours as it was challenging for us to find our site in the dark! There is very limited cell service in the park and none in the campgrounds. 

  Site Quality: Gravel and pavement; most looked level. They are all rated tent/RV and small- medium– large and they mean it! We have an 18-foot campervan, and we were pretty snug in Site 19. Also, it was hilly and the angle to back into the site was somewhat challenging. All of the sites are FHU. We were warned that freezing temperatures were expected during our stay and that we could not stay connected to water or the spigot would break if not drained and that we would be charged a $125 repair fee. Each site has a metal picnic table, a BBQ grill, and a fire ring with a grate. 

  Bathhouse/Shower: Basic but clean. No hooks to hang toiletry bags but it looks like there used to be some. The showers looked a bit sketchy but since it was so cold during our visit, I didn’t feel the need to check them out. Plenty of toilet paper but hubby reported that in the men's room, there always seemed to be toilet paper unraveled all around the restroom! 

  Activities/Amenities: Several short hiking trails and longer forest service ones nearby. Mountain biking, although I read on the All Trails app that the trails are extremely challenging for biking. I agree that with so many leaves covering the roots and rocks, the trails were more challenging (hubby slipped and fell on one hike). There is a small store and a pool for in-season. Rappelling is also popular in this park but requires a permit. There was a small informative CCC museum (there was significant evidence of the work of the CCC in the park). There was also a small “fairy garden” near the entrance that was quite adorable. There was a postcard in the store that showed an impressive waterfall but it was completely dried up in November! There used to be a restaurant/bar but it has been closed indefinitely due to staffing issues. 

  Cheaha State Park prides itself on being a Leave No Trace Park (one of about a dozen in the US) but while there were two large dumpsters by the campground, there were no recycling bins.

  Pine Glen Recreation Area

  Secluded $3 stay with a bumpy ride

  For $3 this campground was worth it all in all. Points to consider: -The drive in is 8 miles in on an unpaved, backcountry road with varying inclines on slippery mixture of clay and gravel through hunting recreation area. We were in a Ford Explorer. Everybody else was in trucks. Good for them. -Seemed to be no hiking trails in immediate area so you’re confined once you get there if you were hoping to explore outside of the campgrounds..unless your car is well equipped for that backcountry road in. You can take a walk on the road that gets you there. We did find an interesting old cemetery off the trail. -no potable water -no electricity -there are port a potties -it’s beautifully silent out there aside from fellow campers -sits along a creek -it’s $3

  Upper Improved Campground — Cheaha State Park

  Park is wonderful, Campgrounds are ok.

  Cheaha State Park is about what you'd expect from any other state park, with plenty of trails and foliage. The camp store is a lot bigger than I expected, with lots of firewood available, and snacks, drinks, and gifts/souvenirs for sale. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable, and there were three cashier stations as the store seemed to have a pretty constant flow of customers each time we went. Outside at the parking lot, there was even an EV charging station - I don't know much about those but I can say it's not one of the fast chargers. As far as the trails go, this is on top of a mountain, so be sure to pay attention to the topology on the trail maps to be sure you're not under-prepared for steep climbs.

  The campsites were ok. While the wind proved to be the biggest issue we had during our trip (nearly tearing our tent from the ground with us in it during the first night!), the main issue we found was that the ground was really rocky and uneven, making tent tethering rather difficult. There were plenty of trees around to tether to, though, so if you have a larger tent with lots of guy lines, I recommend making use of them as tether points. Out second night was much better in that regard, as we made adjustments specifically to combat the harsh wind and our tent fared much better. Each campsite had some kind of fire pit, though they all appeared to be different: some had your basic stone fire ring, some had like a Home Depot-style metal fire pits, some had big iron stove contraptions. Be wary of all the fallen leaves in the fall and winter, though! Clear out any leaves immediately surrounding your fire pit before starting any campfires.

  The bathroom facility (at least for the upper campground) was pretty spartan, but mostly clean with plenty of TP available. No showers or hot water. Some spider webs, but we didn't encounter any bugs or critters holed up inside. The only cleanliness issue we encountered was when other campers left the toilets in bad condition. The bathroom did have an electric heater inside, though, which was rather nice when escaping from the wind chill.

  The upper campground is near the highest point of the mountain and is in walking distance for most sites. Don't expect any real views, though, as most of the area is covered in trees. Site 120 actually had a fantastic, unobstructed view and would be ideal for sunrise, so try to get that one if it's available. The fire tower at the top is open to the public for most of the day, but its views are pretty lackluster surprisingly - there is a big antenna with support wires that get in the way, and the glass windows are pretty dirty. The best view is actually down toward the camp store at the event hall and really is quite phenomenal. There is a nice overlook with seating available, and the view is unobstructed by any man-made feature or any foliage overgrowth.

  I might recommend visiting in the spring or summer. Not only would it be better considering the park's available water features, but the foliage would be green and keep things cool. We visited in early November, thinking the fall colors would be a big draw. The colors from the overlook were amazing, but inside the campground the views were just dead, brown leaves. Additionally, the combination of the wind and the dry fallen leaves made lots of LOUD noise in the overnight hours.

  With the gates being open until 9 CST, it allowed us to roll in and register at the Mountain store. Stayed at sight #10, close to bath house. Beautiful park; undid fortunately we did not get to enjoy it.

  Great escape for a weekend trip

  The campground is well kept with great Wi-Fi and relatively quiet. Most RV sites have little to no shade with a few shady spots on the creek side. Down side: water pressure was slightly over 40 psi which made my water pump run continuously until I just shut it off.

  Kid Paradise

  If you have little ones this is for them. A little bit of everything from pools to zip lines. Very detailed itinerary list of times for activities for the kiddos. However if your wanting a peaceful place to stop and stay the night, probably not the best spot. They have gravel pads or pay a little extra for the deluxe concrete pad.
