  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

  Clean and convenient

  Somewhat crowded, but it was a holiday weekend. Very clean bathrooms and campground. Employees were extremely friendly, inviting, and knowledgeable!

  Honeycomb Campground

  Difficult site

  Deep ditches around my site made it very, very difficult to park my van - terrified that one of my wheels would fall off the edge. Don’t think I will be back.

  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.

  Lake Guntersville State Park Campground

  Beautiful State Park, something for everyone!

  Visited Lake Guntersville State Park, for the day. After taking our granddaughter to Screaming Eagle Zip-line Adventures, located at the gorgeous Lodge, we visited the Campground…and it’s amazing! At the office, we were helped by Rocky, who was friendly and knowledgeable! We received CG info and a map, as well as rates. We are already planning our next trip to visit! The general store was stocked with necessities, as well as souvenirs. Of course we had to get some ice cream! There are several types of sites, monthly, cabins and tent camping. There are boat slips (local rentals) and a Pavilion on the water, basketball and tennis courts, playground, shady dog park, splash pad, and clean bathhouses. Firewood and ice can be purchased at the store. There are also many trails to hike and bike . It is easy to see that this SP is well maintained! The SP Lodge is worth visiting, which has a nice restaurant. LGSP has a golf course, and the quaint town is close by and has shopping and several restaurants.

  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.

  Honeycomb Campground

  Plenty good enough for a long weekend

  We visited Honeycomb a few days before Thanksgiving and had a good time.

  PROs: • Beautiful views from lakefront sites • not crowded, very quiet in mid-November • hard packed gravel pad was level left-to-right, no leveling blocks under tires needed • easy driving distance to lots of local activities/attractions

  CONs: • only one working bathroom/shower house…could be an issue when the campground is crowded considering their are no sewage hookups on site • sites are pretty close together, not much room for outdoor family activities • WIFI (extra charge) was very inconsistent

  Lake Guntersville State Park Campground

  Great Campground on Beautiful Lake

  We stayed three nights in primitive camping and it was fantastic. Our site was right on the water and far away from any other campers. The RV camping is not as secluded. Bath houses were very clean and tons of fun things for kids to do around the park.

  Honeycomb Campground

  Run by tyrants!

  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.

  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.

  Great campground

  Great place for the kids our neck of the woods was very quite and right next to where the deer like to graze, nothing like seeing Bambi and friends in the mornings and nights. Come prepared very few items at the camp store

  Campground Needs Attention

  PROS 

  Site 27- pull-thru gravel. Very nice moveable 6 ft metal picnic table; fire ring with cooking grate; pedestal BBQ grill 

  Campground very quiet Sunday-Tuesday nights 

  Frequent ranger drive thrus of the campground 

  T Mobile 3 bars 

  CONS 

  Upon arrival, power outage due to storm and lasted until dark. Check-in was not able to be completed so had to return the next day. 

  Paid a transaction fee for making my own on-line reservation along with a resort fee and sales tax 

  No senior or Veteran discount 

  Site 27 greatly unlevel side-to-side 

  Fire ring full of ash upon arrival 

  Street light at Site 28 that lights up all of 28 and most of 27 and 27A. 

  Extremely tight at checkin station. We had to park partially on AL281. There is a very small parking lot at the check-in station with no loop around 

  No trash receptacle in either men’s or woman’s toilets 

  Campground noisy Friday and Saturday nights. Lots of loud music. 

  Bathhouse not serviced over weekend 

  Large rocks throughout the campground had been painted

  (by children) an unsightly vivid paint 

  Don’t Miss 

  Climbing to the top of the CCC Bunker Observation Tower 

  Hiking out to Bald Rock 

  Berman Museum in Anniston 

  Watch—some pull-thru sites have the camper door facing the campground roadway with the picnic table and campfire ring along the campground roadway.

  Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center

  Over all..decent at the best

  Was told things on the phone that later became untrue upon my visit. Staff on phone was pleasant, staff in person, just ok. Was also told i would receive a refund for the trouble of everything…never received it and when I ask later, the lady played dumb as if she never told me. So in all, camp at your own will…

  Clear Creek Cove RV Resort

  Long term camping with a family atmosphere

  This is a great campground that has ONLY long term camping so you really get to know your neighbors. The power is not included but the prices are very reasonable. 

  Our lot is spacious, gravel pad with a cement patio.

  Lake Guntersville State Park Campground

  Nice

  A great beautiful lake. Lots of deer. Also numerous thunderstorms, unfortunately. Avoid area B where we stayed. Had no choice since we were there for our first Oliver Owners Rally and didn’t book soon enough. Those along Lake are best then F. Town of Guntersville has what you need, restaurants, etc.

  Cheaha State Park

  Absolutely beautiful. We went camping in March, and the weather was a little cold, but we survived, lol. If you go on the high falls trail, you must go past the creek there are more falls. This trail isn't for beginners. My only warning is if you stay in the high campgrounds be aware of the weather. We arrived when it rained all day which means very thick fog. We could only see about 10 feet in front of us while driving up the mountain.

  Superb!

  Matt and Leigh were so accommodating!!  The bath house was just finished and although there were no hammock sites as of yet, Leigh drove  us around the campground and to help us locate the best spot.  We had to run early, so we hung close to the new bath house and used the electric for our perfect coffee in the morning.  It is under construction but it will be amazing- I’ll be back … often!  Can’t wait to catch some tunes at the barn and just enjoy the incredible solitude and cheerful vibe!

  Good primitive campground. The spot we stayed in is a little rocky and uneven but definitely doable. Some spots are better than others as far as flatness goes. There is a water spicket at every other site. Bathhouse is accessible if nature calls. Regularly patrolled by park services.

  Awesome management!!!

  Plenty of beautiful views, hiking trails, and fun to be had. The managers are great and very responsive. Super helpful and have big plans for their campground. Got an awesome spot right by the pond and couldn’t have been more pleased!

  Forest service camp

  Level spaced out sites, probably better for tents but our small camper was fine. It is about 5 miles on dirt road to get there but the road is maintained. Pinhoti trail goes through the camp so plenty of hiking to do. No cell service at all. Nearly all sites have table, fire ring a lantern stand. Very nice creek runs on one side.

  Upper Improved Campground — Cheaha State Park

  Alabama's highest mountain!

  General: Two improved campgrounds (Upper and Lower), two primitive campgrounds, chalets, cabins, and a motel. We camped in the improved Upper campground, so this review is focused on that. I would recommend you arrive during daylight hours as it was challenging for us to find our site in the dark! There is very limited cell service in the park and none in the campgrounds. 

  Site Quality: Gravel and pavement; most looked level. They are all rated tent/RV and small- medium– large and they mean it! We have an 18-foot campervan, and we were pretty snug in Site 19. Also, it was hilly and the angle to back into the site was somewhat challenging. All of the sites are FHU. We were warned that freezing temperatures were expected during our stay and that we could not stay connected to water or the spigot would break if not drained and that we would be charged a $125 repair fee. Each site has a metal picnic table, a BBQ grill, and a fire ring with a grate. 

  Bathhouse/Shower: Basic but clean. No hooks to hang toiletry bags but it looks like there used to be some. The showers looked a bit sketchy but since it was so cold during our visit, I didn’t feel the need to check them out. Plenty of toilet paper but hubby reported that in the men's room, there always seemed to be toilet paper unraveled all around the restroom! 

  Activities/Amenities: Several short hiking trails and longer forest service ones nearby. Mountain biking, although I read on the All Trails app that the trails are extremely challenging for biking. I agree that with so many leaves covering the roots and rocks, the trails were more challenging (hubby slipped and fell on one hike). There is a small store and a pool for in-season. Rappelling is also popular in this park but requires a permit. There was a small informative CCC museum (there was significant evidence of the work of the CCC in the park). There was also a small “fairy garden” near the entrance that was quite adorable. There was a postcard in the store that showed an impressive waterfall but it was completely dried up in November! There used to be a restaurant/bar but it has been closed indefinitely due to staffing issues. 

  Cheaha State Park prides itself on being a Leave No Trace Park (one of about a dozen in the US) but while there were two large dumpsters by the campground, there were no recycling bins.

  Pine Glen Recreation Area

  Secluded $3 stay with a bumpy ride

  For $3 this campground was worth it all in all. Points to consider: -The drive in is 8 miles in on an unpaved, backcountry road with varying inclines on slippery mixture of clay and gravel through hunting recreation area. We were in a Ford Explorer. Everybody else was in trucks. Good for them. -Seemed to be no hiking trails in immediate area so you’re confined once you get there if you were hoping to explore outside of the campgrounds..unless your car is well equipped for that backcountry road in. You can take a walk on the road that gets you there. We did find an interesting old cemetery off the trail. -no potable water -no electricity -there are port a potties -it’s beautifully silent out there aside from fellow campers -sits along a creek -it’s $3
