5. Pinhoti Trail Backcountry Campground — Cheaha State Park
Delta, Alabama7 Reviews•42 Photos•41 SavesFollow the Cave Creek Trail until you reach the Pinhoti connector, and hang a right to take the Pinhoti Trail northbound. Look for a sign that points to McDill overlook, and follow a side trail for the last quarter mile. Along this side trail you’ll pass the wreckage of a small plane that supposedly crashed back in 1972. Look for blue and white pieces of the plane off the trail to your right. Keep going and you’ll eventually come to a campsite that would comfortably fit 3 or 4 tents, only about 100 yards shy of the overlook. Camping in this area is a great option because you’re close to the cliffs, but protected from the wind. There are also a few spots right at the cliffs that are big enough for a small tent or hammocks and have better views, but are a bit breezier. The boulder cliffs are an awesome place to hang out at sunset or for stargazing, just remember to keep a headlamp on you!

Delta, Alabama5 Reviews•31 Photos•50 SavesStart hiking at Cheaha Trailhead, located at the far end of a parking area just before you get to Cheaha State Park on Highway 281.

The next day, backtrack the quarter mile and continue on the Pinhoti back towards Cheaha State Park. Several rocky outcroppings provide some good views along the way.

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
Upper Improved Campground — Cheaha State Park
Beautiful!
A gorgeous serene park with great staff, spacious spots, beautiful views and tons of hiking!
Oak Mountain State Park Campground
Beautiful campground year round
Having visited 3 times now, twice before the renovations and now once after, I can confidently say I love this park! I have previously primitive camped here and now camper at a full hookup RV site. Tent sites range from "water in vicinity," "water at site," and "water and 20 amp power at site." Rv sites are water and electric or full hook up. I think all RV sites are now 50/30/20 but I'm not certain. There is a dump station near the exit of the campground. Sites are mostly level/slight grade but found that not all drain very well when it rains, including our site a17.
The park has so many different activities including -Hiking -Bmx trails -Swimmimg -Archery range And more I can't even remember.
Flip side watersports operates at 2 locations and paid activities include -wake boarding -Aqua Park And rentals of -Kayaks -stand up paddle boards -paddle boats And -Canoes.
There are things to do year round and the weather was great for mid July.
Kudzu Campground LLC
Nice new tent campground
Easy to find off of main hwy. Grassy area with lots of trees and shade. Campfires are permitted but, you meed to bring your own wood. Campground host are helpful with questions about the area. Close to boat launches, fuel and restaurants. Talladega Super Speedway close by. Enjoyable stay at this campground.
Hollins Hunting Camp
Average but good
This has a good road and decent open spots to set-up. Overlanders (w/rtt) will be the most happy. Open areas have tall grass a but, but some have enough pine trees the pine needles make for better ground camping. Small camper trailers could probably make it too. Just be mindful of turn around spots.
I arrived late so harder to find spots. Mid-week so no one else here.
-Lacked good signage on the last turn. -No facilities (as expected) -Open to sky (took awesome star pics here)
Bohamia
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.
Oak Mountain State Park Campground
Beautiful Campground
This state park has it all. A place to swim, numerous hiking trails, playgrounds, etc. The newly remodeled campground is spectacular. The pads are super level (at least in A16. Small tent spots sprinkled in. Saw security and police several times just passing through to check on folks. Love that. We will be back many more times for sure.
Hidden Cove Thousand Trails
Great park
We love this park but it is about 45 minutes from a town with a good grocery store or restaurants.
CWGS Campground of Oxford
Camped here with RV purchase
Stayed at site 13, level gravel sites with picnic table on concrete pad, fire ring, FHU. Extended stays at the back of park and closer to hwy 20. There is a nice dog park, playground, covered pavilion, laundry room, dated bathroom, but clean. Shirley reserved our spot, and helped us pull through,and hook up, with our new RV! There is a little path/bridge, so We walked over to Camping World to get our bigger RV. The next morning, we had a few questions, so the Camping World service employee, came over (on a golf cart)to answer them. We decided to stay another night, and it was easy enough for Shirley to extend our reservation. If we were in the area again we would go back. There is a lot to do in the area….Talladega National Forest, Talladega SuperSpeedway and Cheaha State Park.T-Mobile was good, and paid about $30 night with Good Sam Discount. This Campground is also known as CWGS Campground of Oxford.
Noccalula Falls Park & Campground - TEMPORARILY CLOSED
Mainly RVs
This is a beautiful place. If you’re looking for more primitive and secluded places to camp this place is mainly for POEPLE with rvs.
Turnipseed Campground
Off- grid Oasis
Pack some water and head out. Great hikes with water falls. Pit toilet, no water, critter proof trash cans. First come first serve. Cash box available to pay. We had cell service. Used 10' trailer/ camper. No hookups or running water.
The Ridge Outdoor Resort
Nice site
This is a motocross, zip line and paint ball camp. The people that checked us in were great. Charge was $5 per person. So $11.00 for us. The sites are grassy. We are the only ones here so we pulled up to the bath house. They will be out to turn on the hot water in a bit. Quiet. Relaxing after a day of seeing the sites. I have 2 bars on my Verizon.
Chinnabee Silent Trail Backcountry Site 9
Fun by the falls
We started our hike in from Chinnabee silent trail parking and headed up toward chinnabee lake. We found this spot nearby the big swimming hole "devils den" about 1/2 a mile from the chinnabee lake parking area. We stayed at campsite 9. For 2 nights in April and it was amazing. Little to no bugs, plenty of trees for shade and hammock camping. And a good fire ring built from large river rocks. Plenty of wood around for a fire though it was mostly pine that burnt extremely well but left resin on all our cookware. This site was comfortable for our group of 4 but we felt like we were almost at max capacity at this site. I give this spot 2 👍🏻👍🏻
Weogufka State Forest Flagg Mtn
Private and Historic
 this is a great campsite. You might need four-wheel-drive to get up to the ruins, but maybe not. Mary the caretaker of the area could easily tell you and is a great communicator and very helpful. I highly recommend this area. 
Rolling Hills RV Park
Nice place
We just needed a stop with hookups for the night. But this place exceeded expectations. We had a pull through spot so we didn't have to disconnect our tow dolly. Gravel site was fairly level despite being in a hilly area. There's quite a bit of space between most of the sites (particularly the back in sites). Our site was right up against another pull through on our patio side though. No big deal, if we were coming to stay for a while we would get a back in spot. We did not check out the bathrooms or laundry facilities, but there are several of them.
Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park Campground
Nice campground off hwy
Great little campground for a two day too though looked like people for staying there for much longer.
Bohamia
Coolest campground in Alabama
This place is exquisite in every way. Beautiful scenery and perfectly clean grounds, water areas are fun and safe, lots of privacy and plenty of room to explore. Love the staff manners and information. This place is the BOMB!
Backcountry Site — Oak Mountain State Park
A family tradition
I’ve been going here since I was a kid and it’s one of my favorite places in the world. You’ll never run out of things to do between the endless hiking trails, the museum of wildlife, and the wildlife rescue center. There’s an archery station within the park and a petting farm. The campground is easily navigated with multiple bathhouses per campground so you’ll always have one nearby.
Faye Whittemore Farms Inc
The campground is wooded with electric and water hookups . Very nice!
The campground is very nice and woodsy. The campsites have water and electric hookups. They have nice paddocks for your horses. The multiple trails are so beautiful . I have been here many times.
Pinhoti Campsite near Clairmont Gap
Small Ridge Campsite
Perched along the ridge of the Pinhoti Trail, just south of Adam's Gap, this backcountry campsite promises a rewarding wilderness experience. However, there are a few things to keep in mind to make the most of your stay. First and foremost, be sure to bring an ample supply of water for this section of the trail, as there are no reliable water sources nearby for refilling. The effort is well worth it, though, as the views from this campsite are simply breathtaking, especially during certain times of the year. The most stunning vistas await you right after completing the climb up from Clairmont Gap. These panoramas make the somewhat challenging trek worthwhile, offering a sense of awe and tranquility.
The campsite itself, while relatively small, provides enough space for 1-2 tents and boasts an abundance of trees for those who prefer hammocks. An established fire pit is also available, providing warmth and comfort on colder nights. It's worth noting that this section of the trail is less frequented by hikers, which means fewer campsite options. To avoid getting caught hiking in the dark, it's essential to plan your stops in advance. During our recent visit, we encountered an overgrown trail filled with brambles, which slowed our progress. Keep this in mind as you prepare for your journey.
In summary, this backcountry campsite along the Pinhoti Trail offers a chance to immerse yourself in the wilderness and enjoy stunning ridge-top views. Remember to pack enough water, plan your stops in advance, and be prepared for some overgrown sections along the trail. Despite the challenges, the natural beauty and tranquility of this location make it a worthwhile destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
Upper Improved Campground — Cheaha State Park
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.

Upper Improved Campground — Cheaha State Park
Wonderful
Very clean, very quiet, and very spacious state park. Bathhouse was nice and clean. Nice roads.. decently level pads. The views are amazing!!
Big Wills Creek Campground and Tubing
Below expectations but with some work this place could be really good.
The Good:
The staff member that checked us in was really friendly and polite. She was a delight to talk to and did a great job explaining the information we needed to know.
The C57 lot is right beside the dam and put in area for tubing. It was nice to sit out back and hear the water rushing through the opening in the dam.
The site had 50 and 30 amp service, water and sewer. Everything worked great. The site was pretty close to level.
After the tubers were done for the day, the creek was a pretty quiet area. The fish were biting and several folks pulled up some nice bass throughout the stay.
Tubing is included with the stay.
The Bad:
The roads are gravel (well mostly dirt) and are full of potholes. They aren't maintained very well at all.
Coming into the park you pass an area with a bunch of full-time campers sitting nearly on top of each other. It's a rough looking area that you will need to pass by with entry or exit.
The grass wasn't maintained very well and there were clippings blown everywhere. The picnic table was covered, there were piles of grass all over and the grass / weeds on the walk down to the creek were knee high.
The firepit was full of trash and glass. I didn't even bother with it. It was also closer to my neighbor than my campsite. His firepit was an old rim.
Very little gravel to park the RV on. Mostly grass.
No room between campers. My neighbors awning was basically on top of my hookups.
Despite a lengthy list of rules, I didn't see any being enforced. Neighbors were shooting fireworks, open glass containers all around the water, no quiet time enforcement, etc...
Scenic Drive RV Park and Campground
Great value
Owner is very friendly and nice guy. Bathhouse was very clean and well maintained. Camping spots are well pounded gravel so that no mess even hard rain. This place is perfect for stopping by for one night.
Brierfield Ironworks Historical Park
Great little campground
