Best Cabin Camping near Silas, AL

Cabin options near Silas, Alabama include St. Stephens Historical Park and Clarkco State Park Campground, both providing electricity and basic amenities. St. Stephens offers cabins along the river in a historical setting with proximity to limestone lakes and trails. Clarkco State Park features lakeside cabins with access to a 12-acre lake, multiple swimming areas, and hiking trails. Most cabins include standard furnishings with some offering kitchen facilities and private bathrooms. "The cabins were large and pretty nice. Always had lots and lots of fun here," according to a regular visitor who attended family reunions at Clarkco.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are available depending on the location. Both parks accommodate families with varying cabin sizes, though availability may be limited during peak seasons. Clarkco State Park operates seasonally and is occasionally closed for renovations, so advance reservations are recommended. The park is currently undergoing improvements to enhance visitor experience. Pet policies vary by location, with most cabins allowing pets but requiring them to be leashed in common areas. St. Stephens Historical Park permits pets but visitors note that "the horse flies really seemed to attack the dogs," suggesting bringing repellent.

Most cabins provide beds and basic furniture but require guests to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely between locations—some offer only basic cooking equipment while others include more complete setups. Meridian East-Toomsuba KOA, located about an hour from Silas, provides more furnished cabin options with additional amenities. Several campgrounds feature on-site markets where basic provisions can be purchased, though selection is limited. Clarkco's camp store is "slowly being restored" with staff "actively trying to add more supplies," according to visitors who recommend bringing essential items from larger towns before arrival.

    Meridian East-Toomsuba KOA

    cabin fever

    The people running this Koa were very friendly. The cabins are comfortable with an a/c unit. The kids love the elaborate slide built into the hill and the snack bar at the pool. This place is nothing fancy -but simple and just what we needed. There was access to a small general store, showers and laundry facility. There is a nice quiet area to hang hammocks and chill out. We cooked hot dogs and marshmallows in the campfire ring one night. Each cabin has a swing in front. There are several good restaurants nearby in Meridian. Great, restful weekend trip.

    Clarkco State Park Campground

    Woodsy state park with dispersed camping near a lake

    State park near Alabama/Mississippi border. Nice park. Chose to do primitive camping for $15 plus tax, but they offer other options too. -dispersed camping -some sites near lake -mediocre fire pits -picnic table -quiet aside from other campers -other campers seem like they get kind of rowdy there, but this was also a holiday weekend -the sites aren’t numbered and are hard to find in the dark because the fire pits and picnic tables are randomly placed throughout the woods. It was like a treasure hunt to find them. -the amenities were far away which is why we’re giving it 4 stars.

    Dunns Falls Water Park

    Okay for one night

    Camping area is about five tables and grills scattered on edge of property. No real sites (no tent pads, no fire rings). Surprisingly little regulation: fires allowed anywhere, swimming “not recommended.” The friendly camp hosts actually encouraged me to camp in the day use/picnic area, since it is closer to the flush restrooms. Water spigots scattered around but most don’t work. Gate to park locks at 5pm (key provided at check in) which is nice for security. Clean area. Close to a highway but few cars traveling at night. I was the only person camping on a weekday.

    $15/night. Not bad considering the locking gate and restrooms with water. The historical structures are neat, as is the waterfall. The whole park can be explored in less than an hour, so I can’t imagine staying multiple nights.

    Clarkco State Park Campground

    Clarkco Love ❤️

    This is our second visit within a year to Clarkco. We’ve stayed on both loops. This time on loop 1 we were on site 4. It was tight to get into but had a lovely little land pier onto the lake. This is a very well kept park. The public facilities are very child friendly with a cool and colorful splash pad and cordoned off swimming area. Loop 1 also has a cordoned off swimming area. It’s truly a secret little gem hidden away. It is very quiet and each of the sites are large and private. The public restrooms and showers are extremely clean and well kept. Also they offer large pavilions for large group gatherings. Very dog friendly (we have 3) and the entire campground is respectful of quiet hours from 10 pm to 8 am. The Clarkco staff takes great pride in their facilities!! Thank you. You’ll fall in love with Clarkco too.

    Clarkco State Park

    Great stay! Beautiful park with many amenities. Have premium sites with 50/30 amp sewer and water. Have lake front sites, pavilions, cabins, and “glamping” tent sites. There is also two roped off swimming areas in lake, playgrounds, and boat ramp. Facilities are well maintained. Very impressed and will stay again.

    Sleepy Hollow RV Park

    Hidden Gem!

    We were evacuated to North LA for hurricane Ida. We wanted to find something closer after the storm passed. Found this place in a Google search and called to check availability. We figured we'd be out of luck being that we were trying to book labor day weekend. Luckily, a couple spots were available for us and our friends. As soon as we pulled in Kim greeted us and escorted us to our site, helped us back in, and made sure all of our plugs and hoses were long enough to reach. She even had extras available to lend us if needed. She made sure we were all settled in and everything was good before leaving. We couldn't have been luckier to have found this great little campground! After being cooped up in the camper and leashed outside, we were able to bring all of our pups to the enclosed dog play area that had a great big shade tree to run and run and run. Poop bags and garbage cans were convenient there and throughout the park. They had a nice little pool. Nothing fancy, but just what the kids needed. It wasn't busy in there so they had free reign to wear themselves out(after being cooped up in the campers too). There was a playground area right there between the pool and dog run. Then right next to there was the bath house and laundry room. The restrooms and showers were always clean, and I like that a code was needed to get in, I felt safe going there at night by myself. Since we were evacuating for much longer than we expected, we needed to do laundry too. 4 washers, 4 dryers. We were all so upset since between the 2 campers we had at least 5 or 6 loads of laundry needing to be done(between dogs and sick kids). We asked Kim about it, and the appliance people were there the very next day to fix all of them. She did say they come out once a week to check them all, but I'm sure she had something to do with their quick arrival. The campground is only a few minutes away from the city. There's walmart, walgreens, multiple grocery stores, dollar stores, and so much more. I was even able to bring our pup to a vet'soffice to get his nails clipped. Since we were there for so long we even found specialty coffee shops, nail shops, and an RV supply store all within about a 10 or so minute drive. They also have great wifi! Many of the spots were cement and beautifully leveled. We met a few really great people there, some that were camping, others that were also evacuated, and a couple that were staying there long term for various reasons. We were so lucky to have found Sleepy Hollow to stay when we needed a place most and we can't go back! Thank you Kim for being so gracious and welcoming!

    Clarkco State Park Campground

    Great family weekend

    Our family of 5 (young kids) stayed for the weekend. A four day weekend would have been perfect. Our site was easy to get into and relatively easy to level. Full hookups. Activities included swimming, splash pad, hiking, disk golf, fishing, kayak rentals, and playgrounds. They are about to close the park for the season to renovate. All the pads are about to be concrete and I think they are fixing some of the space issues(some spots are currently tight to get into). We will be back next year.

    Meridian East-Toomsuba KOA

    Stuck but not stuck

    We pulled into this place the end of August expecting to stay just two nights. Found out trailer tongue was bent and getting it repaired took over three weeks. This park has great owners, kind and understanding. The staff are all great and treat guests very well. They were very accommodating with our situation. The park is clean and well managed, mostly surrounded by large trees that offer great shade with long pull through sites/full hookups available but also a spacious backins. Restrooms and showers are great! Recently updated, always clean, with excellent water pressure. Pool is huge for a KOA and has a long water slide open seasonally. Laundry room is sufficient and as expected. This park has a few long term campers that make great neighbors. The park store offers both necessities and some cute finds. Close enough to see all Meridian has to offer. Okatibbee Lake was one out favorites on the hot days with a swimming beach. I highly recommend whether for a overnight stop or a longer stay.

Quiet camping environments: Most parks maintain peaceful atmospheres, especially during weekdays. "We had a great relaxing weekend but next time will bring repellant," notes Brian N. about his stay at St. Stephens Historical Park.

Dog-friendly amenities: Many cabin areas include dedicated pet spaces. "We were able to bring all of our pups to the enclosed dog play area that had a great big shade tree to run and run and run. Poop bags and garbage cans were convenient there and throughout the park," reports Amanda R.

What you should know

Seasonal closures and renovations: Verify operating status before traveling. "They are about to close the park for the season to renovate. All the pads are about to be concrete and I think they are fixing some of the space issues," explains David P. about Clarkco State Park.

Insect preparedness: The subtropical climate supports robust insect populations. "Beautiful open space along the river. The horse flies really seemed to attack the dogs... next time will bring repellant," advises Brian N.

Limited camping at some parks: Archusa Creek Waterpark and similar destinations have restricted camping spaces. "The lake is beautiful. Some of the campsites looked like long term sites with a lot of junk around them," observes Laurette.

Variable cell service: Mobile connectivity fluctuates throughout the region. "AT&T coverage was 'fair', generally with 1-2 Bars and up to ~1 MB/s, but usually less than 0.4 MB/s," reports Ray & Terri F. about their experience.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Prepare leveling blocks for uneven campsites. "Most of the sites in the loop we were in looked reasonably level, as was our site. Many of the sites in the other loop looked pretty unlevel," notes Ray & Terri F.

Navigating narrow roads: Some parks have tight access roads requiring careful maneuvering. "Lots of turns so go slow and know your rig," advises Dennis B. about Sleepy Hollow RV Park's layout.

Full hookup availability: Several parks offer complete RV connections but with varying amperage. "We were in site 37 for 5 days, which was right across the road from one of the few street lights. The oneway campground loop is narrow, and a little tight in places for bigger rigs, but not too bad," reports Ray & Terri F.

Satellite reception limitations: Tall trees can block satellite signals at many forested sites. "There is no WiFi, no cable, and no DISH satellite coverage at our site, on the lake, with a roof mounted dish, and no leaves on the trees. We were able to get 4 strong OTA DTV channels with our omni antenna however," adds Ray & Terri F.
