  Lake Guntersville Town Creek

  Clean and convenient

  Somewhat crowded, but it was a holiday weekend. Very clean bathrooms and campground. Employees were extremely friendly, inviting, and knowledgeable!

  South Sauty Creek Resort

  Rude employees

  Very rude employees at booking. Fair warning, if you don’t have a brand new RV, don’t bother calling. They only want the new and fancy ones there. Shame as it’s a great location.

  Monte Sano State Park

  Great Primitive Sites

  Really enjoyed the primitive camping site. The bathhouse was clean and there are lots of trails to hike. Very close proximity to Huntsville, making it easy to resupply or just go out and enjoy the city. 🌲🌳🏞️ #PrimitiveCamping #HikingAdventures #CloseToHuntsville

  Honeycomb Campground

  Difficult site

  Deep ditches around my site made it very, very difficult to park my van - terrified that one of my wheels would fall off the edge. Don’t think I will be back.

  Lake Guntersville Town Creek

  Beautiful State Park, something for everyone!

  Visited Lake Guntersville State Park, for the day. After taking our granddaughter to Screaming Eagle Zip-line Adventures, located at the gorgeous Lodge, we visited the Campground…and it’s amazing! At the office, we were helped by Rocky, who was friendly and knowledgeable! We received CG info and a map, as well as rates. We are already planning our next trip to visit! The general store was stocked with necessities, as well as souvenirs. Of course we had to get some ice cream! There are several types of sites, monthly, cabins and tent camping. There are boat slips (local rentals) and a Pavilion on the water, basketball and tennis courts, playground, shady dog park, splash pad, and clean bathhouses. Firewood and ice can be purchased at the store. There are also many trails to hike and bike . It is easy to see that this SP is well maintained! The SP Lodge is worth visiting, which has a nice restaurant. LGSP has a golf course, and the quaint town is close by and has shopping and several restaurants.

  Marshall County Park

  Beautiful County Park, near Lake Guntersville SP, on TN River

  Marshall County Park, is easy to find/see right on 431. Nothing fancy, but well maintained property, and plenty of room for parking and boating.

  Monte Sano State Park

  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

  Recently renovated camper sites

  Definitely remember to look at the Park's website for the best way into the park. Our RV specific GPS was waaaay off! All the camper pads have recently been redone, so it's pretty easy to find a flat site. We enjoyed the Japanese tea garden, and look forward to coming back for more hiking and site seeing. 1 washer/dryer per bath house-- not new but got the job done. ATT and Verizon signals weren't super strong but good enough to stream some TV and check email, but we used a high gain antenna.

  Point Mallard City Campground

  Only a small area is for short term , no wifi

  No wifi per office with no known date of repair. Relatively quiet, lots of vehicle traffic and golf carts. Office staff is very helpful and friendly. Majority of park is longterm. Dog friendly, no dog park at location. Close to shopping but far enough away for quiet.

  Honeycomb Campground

  Plenty good enough for a long weekend

  We visited Honeycomb a few days before Thanksgiving and had a good time.

  PROs: • Beautiful views from lakefront sites • not crowded, very quiet in mid-November • hard packed gravel pad was level left-to-right, no leveling blocks under tires needed • easy driving distance to lots of local activities/attractions

  CONs: • only one working bathroom/shower house…could be an issue when the campground is crowded considering their are no sewage hookups on site • sites are pretty close together, not much room for outdoor family activities • WIFI (extra charge) was very inconsistent

  Lake Guntersville Town Creek

  Great Campground on Beautiful Lake

  We stayed three nights in primitive camping and it was fantastic. Our site was right on the water and far away from any other campers. The RV camping is not as secluded. Bath houses were very clean and tons of fun things for kids to do around the park.

  Tims Ford State Park Main Campground — Tims Ford State Park

  Beautiful State Park

  The main campground is very nice. There are a lot of shaded, private spots, but some of the sites are a little close together. Some of them aren’t very level, so just keep that in mind!

  The bathrooms are very clean, bright and heated in the winter. One of the bath houses has separate showers that are completely private.

  There are many traditional hiking trails throughout the park, but there’s also paved paths circling around the campground as well.

  The gift shop and visitors center was large and had a lot of useful things for sale, as well as kids toys and books. Our daughter really enjoyed it. The playgrounds are also very well maintained.

  Tims Ford State Park Main Campground — Tims Ford State Park

  Tims Ford Main Campground

  We stayed the final weekend open for the season and it was a fantastic stay. There are paved paths for miles right there off the campsites. There are other trails as well not paved with but more tugged/traditional trails with bridges and cottonmouths lol be careful. The sites are close enough to the water for bank fishing. The bathrooms were great too. Clean when we arrived and convenient to our site #44, we were right across from them. These were a private bathroom shower situation in each door. The other shower house had men and women bathrooms and private showers separately. We visited the gift shop and information center, the people working there are helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend. We stayed just in time before the temps dropped from 80 degrees one day the day we left dropped to 45 during the day.

  Honeycomb Campground

  Run by tyrants!

  First, I’ve stayed here many times tent camping with more than one tent on one site with no issues. We took a camper this time and met up with some family who would be staying in a tent. We set up site and hung up a hammock, and within minutes, an employee came and rudely told us our set up wasn’t allowed. We had to take down our hammock (never had that happen anywhere else before), and forced us to pay an extra $75 to rent the neighboring site for our family to set up their tent for the weekend. When they came back around, they said, “You didn’t have to move your tent, you just had to rent the extra site.” It made zero sense, especially when we had noted at reservation that we’d have more than one vehicle, a tent, a camper, and 4 adults + 3 kids. Next came check out. We waited for 3 hours for our turn to use the dump site, we were all packed up and ready to go at 9:30am. To be such a large park, more than one dump site is needed. There’s also a ton of traffic going in and out, so it wasn’t super quiet or anything. We won’t be back, it’s overrated, over priced, and run by rude people.

  Bucks Pocket State Park

  Great campground but dry creek

  This place is great for short stays but it’s he creeks appear to all be dried out. We are going to see a waterfall maybe tomorrow but the creek in the campground is bone dry. Idk if I missed it on their site but it looks like they don’t mention that on the website. The neighbor said all the creeks are empty.

  Update: we had a blast on the trails and the dry creek. Incredible time. It is real wilderness they let you explore without huge constraints. It’s awesome. Hike to the top lookout and see the little sauty falls. Then hike down the dry creek. It’s so amazing. You can go rock climbing, repelling off the top of the mountain. It is very minimal restrictions but beware that you are on your own out there. No cell service to call for help. I give this place 5stars with or without water in the creek.

  Georgia Mountain RV Resort

  Amazing Campground

  We are staying here for several months as we just sold our house and will be traveling FT. Rusty and the entire team have been great to work with! The RV park is great with all the trees - they are adding another 70 sites in the back with a ton of new amenities! Washer/dryer available for $2 per load!! Only a few minutes to Guntersville and the lake! You can walk the lake, go grab a bite to eat or go down to City Harbor! We camped at Georgia Mountain RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.

  Tomahawk Campground

  Primitive, but not

  Brian is a super cool guy. We are going on our 3rd week here. We had a house fire fathers day and are permanently displaced. Instead of replacing all our crap, we invested in camping. We want to travel and see our amazing country. I figured if we camped primitive, we would know how we would test and can prepare for our adventure. Brian has been very helpful and has let us do just about anything we have needed to set up and be comfortable. He does have air BNB about a hundred yards away. He has only asked that we do not interrupt that. Keep it clean and not ridiculously noisy is all he has asked. The spot we chose is closer to road. There is some noise from traffic, but we are not phased. There isn't utility hook up, but he allowed us to get water when needed. We have our 2 pups with us. They are loving this! There is a dollar general and gas stations close if we need supplies. Thanks to Brian, we have really been able to have a great test run with our camping skills. I'm really glad we found this place. Whenever we roll back through this area, this will definitely be our go to if Brian is still the owner of this property. We have really been enjoying our stay.

  Great campground! Second stay this year.

  This is the second time we have stayed here are love this campground.  the location is so nice with lots of trees and shade.  It seemed way more cool here than down in Huntsville and even felt less humid which was wonderful.  The bathrooms and showers were clean as well as the campground overall.  Great place to stay!

  Cathedral Caverns State Park

  Amazing

  Great cg. Average size sites, but shady. Site 23 back in. Fire pit, water, 50 amp, FHU. Very friendly hosts. Went up the hill to the Caverns. Wow! Just beautiful. Have a gift shop there also. Restrooms and showers were a bit of a walk up the hill, but clean and well maintained.

  Cathedral Caverns State Park

  Amazing!!

  This campground is so clean. The new section has full hookups. Sites are a good size. It is a bit of a joke to the bathhouse/laundry room. Wash is $3 and dryer is $2. The cavern is a definite must! Camp hosts Theresa and Ray are absolutely amazing. They’re the friendliest camp hosts we’ve ever met!
