Best Glamping near Normal, AL

There are few places in Alabama that RVers can camp on a pristine Lake Front. Honeycome Campground is located on Lake Guntersville; AL. A perfect secure campground for those camping alone or with your family. During season and with the uptick of camping wit COVID it’s hard to book a site but well worth it if you can plan ahead or camp during the week. I Highly recommend this campground. Only downfall is no sewer hook up but they do have a honeypot service and 2 dump stations.

Jason was great! Easy going and laid back. I booked through an agency and did not get all the info I needed but with one text message to him I was completely informed on everything I needed to do and he even met me at the gate just in case I got confused. I have recently decided on ditching the camper and getting back to old days so I can teach my 13 yr old son there is more to life than internet, video games, ect. This place was.amazing. We arrived at our tents and hammocks up and then just relaxed a bit. We ended up fishing til daylight because the river was physically only 10 steps from our tents. The campsite had just enough light to be able to see go get to the restroom and showers. There was a beautiful TeePee set up that was rented out as well. There were even steps to take down to the river where we were able to get in and splash around. I did not rent a canoe or kayak but I did notice they were headed out they also offered shuttle rides back.

This place is really nice. The folks that run it are caring and inviting. It is a great experience. Nice playground for the kids as well. We plan on staying and and would highly recommend.

Staff was friendly and the campgrounds were nice and clean. The camp lots were too close for my liking. Too much noise and I couldn’t find firewood anywhere. More of a family, social type park.

We loved Sharon Johnson. Really good camp for littles and good spot for first time campers. Camp host was awesome. We will go back.

This park is a bit out of the way but a local favorite. We've enjoyed many picnics and birthday parties in the group pavilions, as well as enjoyed the campgrounds. The park is about 200 acres and the RV sites are located through gate one. There are three rows of sites and the best ones in my opinion are the ones located against the treeline/creek.  There are pull-through sites, but they were closer together and out in the open.

It's a great site to bring the kids. In the summer the pool is open which is great for the hot days. There's also a track, a baseball field, and soccer fields so I've seen many athletic events held there. When we go, our kids run free -- there are 200 acres of open space and a lake so they have a great time -- and there is a Pioneer Village they can explore and an open wedding pavilion for hours of pretending they are at a wedding. There's also a playground with different equipment for all ages.  Just a note, there is a gun range across the street and down the road. You can hear people practicing when it's open but it's in the distance. 

I've taken a few pictures and videos so you can get a feel for the lay of the land. It really is wide open spaces.

Family friendly with 2 playgrounds. Dog friendly. Walking and biking trails. Laundry facilities on site and open 24 hours. Camp store on site and open everyday until 5pm.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The camp host and office personnel are very friendly. The campground is busy, but quiet.

The community who stayed there were very friendly. They wanted to talk to us and offered us coffee even in the morning. However, the bathrooms were not very clean or well stocked. The one shower didn’t work properly and was only cold. The other was fine. It’s a bit pricy compared to other campsites that are clean.

Nice clean campground. Walking distance to water park. Sites are very nice, although a little close to each other.

Appears to be a lot of long time residents here. packed and tight.

This place is tight.   Not in the Urban Dictionary meaning of tight, but in the actual meaning of tight.  It's hard to tell if there are more trees or RVs on the property.  It appears that many of the RVs there are long-term, permanent residents; wood porches, lots of yard items, etc.  The roads to the site was hard to navigate due to the amount of vehicles parked along the roads.  However, the sites were great angles and easy to maneuver into and out of.  One nice perk about the park was the trash pick-up three times per day.   Nice not to have to trek to the dumpster throughout the day.

Some tight spots, but the water park is only a bicycle ride away. There is a six mile walking/ biking trail along the Tennesse river. The golf course is at the campground entrance. There are special events for Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day. Long term camping has been voted out and I believe the new time limit is 2 weeks.

Absolutely loved this camp ground has everything you need to stay for as long as you like. Highly recommend.

First, I’ve stayed here many times tent camping with more than one tent on one site with no issues. We took a camper this time and met up with some family who would be staying in a tent. We set up site and hung up a hammock, and within minutes, an employee came and rudely told us our set up wasn’t allowed. We had to take down our hammock (never had that happen anywhere else before), and forced us to pay an extra $75 to rent the neighboring site for our family to set up their tent for the weekend. When they came back around, they said, “You didn’t have to move your tent, you just had to rent the extra site.” It made zero sense, especially when we had noted at reservation that we’d have more than one vehicle, a tent, a camper, and 4 adults + 3 kids. Next came check out. We waited for 3 hours for our turn to use the dump site, we were all packed up and ready to go at 9:30am. To be such a large park, more than one dump site is needed. There’s also a ton of traffic going in and out, so it wasn’t super quiet or anything. We won’t be back, it’s overrated, over priced, and run by rude people.

Campground is on the Tennessee River/ Lake Guntersville and has swim area and boat ramp. Great sites.
