"This site backs up to a draw and each evening just before dust we could watch the deer walk up through.
The bathhouse is centrally located, newer, and cleaned daily."
"On top of Monte Sano in the woods and a world away from the town -- although it's close by. So many trails to run or walk and a playground for the kiddos. This has primitive camping as well as W/E/S."
"This is a nice state park in a small town in north Alabama. The lake is really pretty and the campground has a nice view of it."
"Although the furthest away from a bathhouse, we truly enjoyed this site. It’s “pick your own” and we picked the site next to Seals hiking trail along the water."
"There are few places in Alabama that RVers can camp on a pristine Lake Front. Honeycome Campground is located on Lake Guntersville; AL."
"Stayed at site 74 lakeside, plenty of room. Great site"
$14 / night
"If you are looking for a Cave experience in Norh Alabama that little kids can handle, this is it."
"state employees live fulltime within walking distance of the campsites."
"I don’t like how you can’t pick your spot and you just have to drive around until you find one you like. My kids love the pools and the indoor pool is awesome during colder months. My kids love that."
$19 - $22 / night
"A short walk to the Tennessee River."
"The location makes it easy to too access the TN River for boating, which is great. However the water next to the campground is relatively stagnant so the mosquitoes here are horrendous!"
"Right on the water at lake Guntersville, golf course, restaurant, walking trails, boat ramps & docks, play ground, basketball court & much more!"
"Very nice host, plenty of space close to Huntsville. Stayed on my way to Florida and decided to stay again on my way back. Was easily able to squeeze a 37 foot travel trailer in."
$100 / night
"The highlight of Benjonah Farm is the great fishing lake nearby, but they also offer full hookups for the most convenience during your stay. Check them out and share your experience on the Dyrt!"
"The surrounding area is beautiful and has just about everything you would need nearby. There are some beautiful state parks nearby with exploring as well."
"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."
ScoutNice concrete pads, park is ran very well by the city...clean and organized campground
TravelerNothing fancy but great for an overnight stay. We stopped late afternoon on a Sunday. There were no other RV’s so we just picked a spot. Sites have power and water and back up against a tree line facing the lake. Stop by City Hall in Stevenson to register. We paid $10.
ScoutI just followed the cords with Google maps and led me to a gated area with no trespassing signs... guess a lot can happen in 5 years... don't recommend this spot anymore.
TravelerDidn’t expect anyone to be out in the front office but they were in there and gave a detailed description of the campsite and locations. Nice and quiet camping area great to just get away for a day or three will definitely come back
GuideThis place is perfect. Small outhouse and far away from everyone. Long gravel road you can drive or walk to three separate ponds to fish(they keep them stocked) and you can also kayak or canoe on the ponds. They have a great little community kitchen and the Hipcamp owner is so sweet! Lots of tent sites and a couple rv electric sites but no water or sewer hookup for the fancier campers needing more accommodations. No shower area besides an outdoor shower near the community kitchen area and good cell signal! And a store is ten minutes from camp so grab some food to cook over the fire! This is a perfect get in touch with nature spot. They have fire rings and tables everywhere and also have firewood! And dog friendly!
ScoutThe remodel has been finished. All the trees are gone. no more shade. There are all new sites, for RV's only, no more tent camping. The rates have also increased, so expect to pay $75+ per night to stay there.
TravelerI have stayed in the primitive camping area of this park twice now. The area is kept clean, has potable water from a centrally positioned faucet, and pit toilet. The campsites are along a gated gravel service road for security. A key to the gate is provided at checkin. Well wooded area with lots of options for hammock camping.
LegendGeneral: Small (36-site) campground in two loops; only the upper has a bathhouse. It is about a ¼ mile walk from the lower to the bathhouse.
Site Quality: Sites are gravel and vary; some are back-in, some are pull-through and some are parallel. Site 32 was very generous in size although not completely level. There was one picnic table, one set of water/electric utilities, and two fire rings (not sure why there were two). This site could easily fit a large Class A or two smaller campers.
Bath/Shower House: Clean and heated. The toilets and showers have a curtain for privacy which IMO feels less private. When I was in the shower, someone opened the curtain not realizing (!) that someone was in there. Warm water at the sinks and showers was appreciated on a damp and chilly day. There is also a clean laundry facility - $3/wash and $2 to dry. The laundry room also has a microwave oven.
Activities: There are daily cave tours; we have been in many caves and this one is very nice. By the lower loop is a small climbing wall. There are also hiking trails and gemstone mining, although we did not take advantage of either of these. We were there for the Cave Run - a 10km or half marathon where the last 1.2 miles AND finish are INSIDE the cave, which was very cool!
Mason, the camp host, was great. Upon our arrival, he escorted us to our site in his golf cart (entirely not necessary but welcomed) and went over what we needed to know including the WiFi password (otherwise we had no service on Verizon). Be sure to go to the office (up a very steep hill or you can drive) and ask for your 15% senior discount if applicable (you need to show proof you are old!).
GuideWe stayed one night of three planned and checked out early . Not mowed, sites were wet and buggy. Would be a decent place if yu wanted to be by your boat.
