"If you have a large group you want to take camping in Alabama I highly recommend this site. There is great hiking nearby and the sites are large enough for a lot of people."

"the locals) since 2011, starting back when it was still largely undeveloped and free…totally worth paying for these days - they’ve made it such a great place: showers, bathrooms, dumpsters, plenty of walk-in"
"A long-time Alabama climbing institution, Sand Rock has had a colorful and sometimes dubious history. For many years, it seemed that lowlifes were in direct competition with climbers."

"Campground Review:East Rim Campground Pro’s: 1-Handicap Accessible, there is a cabin which is also HDA. 2- If your visiting for a get together your right next to the day use area and there is a picnic"
"But we didn’t let that stop us hiking the West Rim Loop Trail and camping at the Walk In Campsite. We loved the views, waterfalls, and walk ability of this park."
"The spots by the office are close to the highway, but it isn’t that busy or loud. Very family oriented and peaceful.
The only bad thing …. the flies! Bring fly traps."
"The nice gurgling stream (Big Cedar Creek) bounds the campground to the east and is a nice walk through a mowed/maintained field. "
"Quiet RV park close to Ft Payne and surrounding parks such as Desoto state Park. Close to Little River Canyon waterfall among others. (A must see)."
GuideWe have camped every Ga State Park but four. Hard to beat Cloudland. Large, tons of activities, well-maintained without losing its outdoors credentials. Most trails are moderate to strenuous because of elevation gain and roots/rocks. The Cave tour is a must, but prepare to get dirty. The West Rim campground is VASTLY superior with tons of privacy, tree cover, great terraces at most sites, with the ones outside ones being the best. Despite being there for the 4th of july, it was quiet. The downside is that getting to the main parts of the park are a drive away or a 2 mile hike with elevation. The East Rim campground is the thing of nightmares - sites on top of each other, no vegetation, no trees, right next to road, zero privacy, but next to outlooks. A couple of the sites towards the back looked ok. Anyway, if you’re an avid outdoors person, this and Black Rock are the best GA parks.
ScoutVery peaceful and friendly campground with nature trails and scenic drives close by.
GuideThe good: fantastic views of a canyon, and the electric/ RV sites are very nice. They also have EV charging at 35 cents Kwh. A couple of good places to eat nearby.
The not so good: The tent only sites get very muddy when it rains so it's best to watch the weather. The next time I stay here I will book an electric6y/RV site.
ScoutNice water views, campground staff helpful and friendly. Nice area close to restaurants if need to leave park.
GuideGreat campground in the woods lots of shade right on the lake. Our littles loved the beach and all the little rascally squirrels were fun to watch. There was no phone service and no WiFi so unless you bring your own this is a great place to figure out why a weather radio would come in handy! Very peaceful and serene.
GuideThis park is an attraction to hikers and rock climbers according to the lady at the camp store. The views are absolutely spectacular! To register for the night you will need cash unless there's someone in the store. Best I can tell, there are more day visitors than campers. I stayed in the tent area, but there appeared to be quite a few places to park a small RV. I chose the tent area because it seemed a bit better for level parking. It was also closer to the restroom. Note there are lots of signs stating no parallel parking in the tent area, so I guess the way the space is laid out if you are towing a trailer you couldn't park there. The tent sites are scattered along half the loop through the park, but there are no specific sites with numbers. Instead there are lots of picnic tables and fire rings and it seems you just pick an open spot. Absent are any tent pads, so you just put out your tent under the trees. There is a restroom building that includes showers, but the showers are those single button things you have to keep pressing. The restroom was reasonably clean given there were a few groups of kids there during the day. Overall this is a pretty good place to camp for the night. The staff was friendly and the park well maintained. I slept in my truck quite comfortably and had a peaceful night. It's June as I visit, and the full rate is $19 to camp. They gave me a senior discount.
GuideFantastic, recently renovated area for camping. Right next to a spring-fed creek, with a camp host and ranger keeping people in check and safe. Toilets only and no hookups. No generators at night (yeay!) Great to test dry camping for newbies.
Scout80 spaces for large RVs at $46 a night. Kayaking is one of the main activities. Kayak rentals and sales. Friendly staff. Bath house, nice and clean and adequate but definitely needs and upgrade.
GuideVery safe campground. I grew up camping here with my dad. When I had my oldest son, I would take him camping here, just me and him. I've camped at this campground several times as a single mom and never had problems. The campground entrance is 10 miles on the right off the Redbud Rd exit. Only con is not a lot of shade in the campsites.
