Spacious and well maintained spots. Pull through spots available for larger rigs. Facilities well maintained and clean. The falls being driving distance away is the only drawback.

Cherokee Rock Village welcomes pets throughout its 125 primitive campsites perched along dramatic sandstone formations near Leesburg. At just $10 per night, these dog-friendly campsites rank among the most affordable pet-friendly camping options in northeast Alabama, with many sites under huge boulders or along the ridge offering panoramic views of Weiss Lake. Most pet owners choose sites away from the bluff for quieter surroundings when camping with their dogs. The bathhouse facilities provide clean showers and restrooms, while multiple water spigots throughout the grounds ensure convenient access for filling pet water bowls. Nearby alternatives include Bay Springs Country Inn & Marina and Little River RV Park & Campground, both offering pet-friendly accommodations with full hookups for RV travelers with dogs.
Numerous hiking trails wind through Cherokee Rock Village's boulder fields, providing excellent walking opportunities for leashed dogs. The park's rock formations create natural shade spots during summer months, particularly welcome for pets during Alabama's hot season. DeSoto State Park Campground, approximately 30 miles northeast, offers additional pet-friendly options with more developed camping facilities including cabin rentals that accept dogs. The area's primitive camping spots under rock overhangs provide unique shelter possibilities when rain threatens camping plans. Local campers note the campground remains reasonably quiet on weeknights, though weekend visitors sometimes disregard quiet hours which may disturb dogs sensitive to noise. The nearby general store stocks basic supplies that might be needed for pets, with more comprehensive pet supplies available in nearby towns.

Great place to camp! Clean bathrooms available. 20$ for tent camping and 67$ for a RV. Just before you get to Cherokee Rock Village. Sites are gravel and they have hookups for RVs. Fire fits are at every site as well. Bathroom have showers next to them as well. Very clean and very well maintained.

Great stop!!
Clean park. Cement pads, full hookups for $45 with discount. Good Sam, military or senior discounts. 2 dogs parks is a bonus. There's also a pavilion available with a gas grill and fire pit. I'll stay at more Love's in my travels.

Not free camping
Nice place but you gotta have a land pass or a hunting or fishing license to camp here. Access is easy to get in here. AT&T signal is good so this is very doable except it’s not free. To camp here for three days cost me 20 bucks.

N H.ScoutCamp Comet Campground - Silver Comet Trail
Overtaken by homeless and wanted criminals
This campground use to be a good hold over spot or a good spot for beginner campers. The homeless in the area have taken it over and have completely destroyed it. Trash all over the place and used needles and foils scattered about. The police routinely check this area as it has become a known hideout spot for wanted people. Would not camp here. Back when I was a kid we would ride our bikes and stay out there for days at a time. Not anymore. Would avoid
