GuideOak Mountain State Park Campground
Good Weekend Spot
Oak Mountain State Park is a great spot for a weekend tent camping trip. The campground is convenient, the park is beautiful, and there’s plenty to do during the day, especially if you enjoy hiking, biking, or just spending time outdoors. For a two- or three-night trip, I think it’s a really good option. That said, I’m not sure I would want to stay much longer than a weekend. The campground works well as a home base for exploring the park, but for an extended camping trip, I’d probably look for somewhere a little more scenic, secluded, or relaxing. Overall, I’d definitely come back for a weekend getaway. Oak Mountain has a lot to offer, and it’s an easy place to get outside without having to plan a major trip.

Birdy B.ScoutUpper Improved Campground — Cheaha State Park
Enjoyable Stay
Stayed 4 nights at Cheaha State Park in the Upper Improved Campground, using sites 2 and 42. Overall, it was a solid stay with great scenery and convenient access, but a few things kept it from being exceptional. Check-in was easy and straightforward, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Both sites were easy to access, though not perfectly level, which is worth noting if you’re in a van or RV and don’t carry leveling gear. The sites included full hookups (electric, water, and sewer), along with a fire ring and picnic table, which made setup simple and comfortable. However, the sites are fairly close together, and the campground has a lot of trees and hilly terrain, so privacy is somewhat limited. We had mostly good weather aside from one rainy day, and there were some bugs and flies, especially during warmer parts of the day. The bathhouse had restrooms and showers, but cleanliness was inconsistent and could use more frequent upkeep. On the positive side, the location is the highlight. The park has a camp store at the entrance, plus great overlooks and hiking trails. It’s also a nice area for biking and exploring the mountain scenery. Would I stay again? Yes—but probably with tempered expectations. It’s a beautiful park in a great location, but for the price, the campground experience itself feels just okay rather than outstanding.

Tillson Bend Campground
One of the nicest campgrounds I have ever been to
An extremely nice campground with a pool, hot tub, swim up tiki bar. Decent bank fishing, Restaurant, very nice bait and takel shop. The bathrooms are only available at the pool area but they are extremely nice and clean, air conditioning, and an ADA shower with a shower chair.
My only complaint is about the wheelchair accessibility of the outdoor area, a few paved ADA sites would be really nice and the transition from the gravel to any paved surfaces have a curb you will have to bump over. There is no pool lift so if you need you are out of luck. I bring a battery powered floor lift chair I purchased off Amazon.

Highest Point high marks
Bathhouses clean but worn. Our site was level but many are not. Construction at the entrance. Road into the park is up and down with curves and some steep grades. WiFi and ATT signal were nonexistent at our site. Hiking was really good.
Rusty R.GuideColdwater camp and cabins
Cute Campground with great views
Great nature feel to the campground with mountain biking trails leaving directly from the campground. The RV sites are pretty level and have nice hookups. The tent sites look like they all have tent decks and the cabins look to be new. The only surprise is the driveway in is paved but required me to use 4-wheel low in order to pull my rv up the last part of the hill. (It was raining, but be aware it gets quite steep)
