Best Dispersed Camping near Brownsboro, AL

Dispersed camping options near Brownsboro, Alabama include the Walls of Jericho Trailhead Campsite and Walls of Jericho Trailhead Camp. These primitive sites offer basic accommodations with no electrical hookups or running water. The Walls of Jericho Trailhead Campsite features three separate clearings near the parking area with small fire pits. Alcohol is permitted, and fires are allowed when no burn bans are in effect. A porta-john is available in the trailhead parking lot, but no other facilities exist on site.

The trailhead campsite is situated on the edge of a canyon overlook and serves both the Walls of Jericho trail and Bear Den Point Loop Trail. Multiple fire rings accommodate different camping groups, though the site offers limited privacy due to proximity to the trail.

Hammock camping options are restricted at the trailhead sites. Several campers noted that "the only decent spot for hammocks is the little campsite right in front of the parking lot," with space for only two hammocks unless stacked vertically. For those seeking more solitude, the Walls of Jericho trail offers additional first-come, first-served primitive campsites adjacent to two separate water sources (streams) further from the parking area. These sites require carrying all equipment in and out.

The area has minimal access to supplies or convenience stores. Cell service is spotty, with some visitors reporting Verizon coverage at the trailhead site while others note no service at all.
