  J.P. Coleman State Park Campground

  Nice Lake View...but

  PROS 

  We were able to reserve 368 days prior to arrival 

  Very friendly and helpful check-in clerk 

  Fantastic view of the lake from site 45 

  Mostly quiet except for campground party animals until 3am! 

  Concrete parking pad 

  BBQ grill 

  Fire ring constructed of concrete pavers 

  Coin-operated washers/dryers in shower/toilet facility 

  Small playground, pool and mini-golf course 

  Good jumping off point for Shiloh Battlefield 

  CONS 

  Campsite 45 was full of litter…cigarettes butts, bones, bottle caps, pieces of chalk, straws, melted soda bottles…just nasty 

  Fire ring made of concrete pavers full of ash and trash upon arrival…again nasty Pedestal BBQ grill full of trash and ash upon arrival…more nastiness 

  Campers ignored basic rules/courtesy/respect such as keeping dogs on leash and walking through occupied campsites at anytime. One camper walking through our site complained to us our chairs on our site were in THEIR way. 

  No senior discount 

  Narrow site 

  Site 45 not level 

  Site 45 mostly fun sun 

  Basically we didn't experience any of the campground rules being enforced so obviously there is no management oversight at this State Park 

  Never saw a park ranger drive through the campground (Saturday-Monday) 

  Never saw a camp host or a campsite for a camp host

  Campground quiet hours not enforced 

  Posted "No Swimming” from campsites along lake, but that didn’t stop a sole and no one enforced it 

  Concrete picnic table at end of parking pad, so at the bumper of the camper 

  Sites very close to each other with no vegetation between sites, so no privacy what so ever 

  Street lights throughout campground, so not dark sky friendly 

  Small playground, pool and mini-golf course not walkable from campground 

  Trash dumpsters outside of campground…not walkable 

  Twisty, steep and narrow roadway into campsite...not for novice rig drivers

  Due to short campsites, tow vehicles had to be creative with parking, sometimes blocking most of the campground road, again no enforcement efforts

  No WiFi 

  1 bar Verizon

  Cullman Campground

  Close to I-65. Easily accessible, pull throughs for most sites.

  This is a friendly, clean, campground. Staff is helpful, guide you to site and help you park. Sites provide easy access with ample space for RV and vehicle or trailer. Quiet park, pet friendly with areas to walk you pet with grass and trees.

  Narrow sites with killer views

  The sites are rather narrow with varying sizes and locations for outdoor living space. Pay close attention to the states website regarding vehicle size maximums. As I walk through the park, it appears that all spots are full hookup and paved. We are on site 43 and anything longer than 30 ft will be pushing it. As it is, our 25ft trailer fits nicely, but the truck is parallel parked across the end of my site in order to be off the road. The picnic table is behind the camper instead of on camp side, which isn’t my favorite setup but we are making due. Some sites have metal fire rings, while others (like ours) have rock circle pits. Some campsites on the hill side have no picnic table OR fire pits. They also have almost no room to walk around the RV without tumbling down the hill. Sites 62 and 64 aren’t terrible, but everything else from 59 and up is pretty bad. 25-34 and 51-54 are short and back up to a a hill. Would be great for Class B or smaller travel trailers. Sites 10-24 are in a separate area from the rest. 35-50 are down on a low flat area near the water and are the best if you like a view of the lake.

  Bath house in our loop is clean, not completely out of date, and heated for cold weather camping. There is a small area with 2 set of pay washers/dryers and a few vending machines.

  All in all, well worth the State’s $32/night charge.

  Smith Lake Park

  Great place

  I really enjoy Smith lake campground it has a lot of great sites. There are plenty of shades sites for summer camping. They have primitive and powered sites with most having picnic tables and some with shared water. It is very affordable and quiet with lots to do. They have canoe rentals, mini golf, pool, and a beach area by the lake. The bathhouses are close by to the powered sites which is really nice. The only drawbacks are the bathhouses at least for the mens side is they need to have a place to hang your shower bag with clothes and toiletries instead of having to sit them on the floor. (Tip now that I've been a couple of times go buy a suction cup hook to hang your bag or towel on). I'll definitely be going back! Note you'll have to check with front office about pool and canoe rentals due to the covid-19. 403 Co Rd 386, Cullman, AL 35057

  Joe Wheeler State Park Campground

  Nice lakeside park

  Nice quiet park out on the lake. We were in loop C at the end of the improved sites. The site was level, but the power, water, and sewer were all closer to the center or front of the site than the rear. That wasn’t a dealbreaker, but the sewer was a good bit higher than the paved pad. This made dumping the black tank a little iffy at best. That aside, the park is full of deer, squirrels, birds, all kinds of stuff for the kids to look at. The playground is a bit dated, and the bathhouse could use renovation, but was functioning and relatively clean. The sites are too close together which was nice. It looked as though all of the improved sites had a fire ring and picnic table. There was a dumpster at the end of our loop where the road to the primitive campsites started, so it was only about a minute walk away. The camp store at the front had all the essentials and some souvenirs, as well as the laundry facility. Everyone we met there, including the staff and volunteers, were all great. The kids loved it, and we will definitely be back to the park again.

  Decatur / Wheeler Lake KOA Holiday

  Overnight Getaway

  My husband and I went on our first camper trip here. It was breathtakingly beautiful! They have a rope course, water activities/rentals, cabins, rv/camper/tent sites waterside, and more. We fished feet from our camper off of the bank. They have a tie-down for animals, fire pit (with grill), all the hook ups for the rv/campers, and even gave us free food upon arrival. It was a perfect getaway for just the 2 of us, but we plan to bring our children next time!

  Elliot Branch - Bear Creek Dev Auth

  Great cabins, beautiful lake

  We stayed at two cabins at Elliot Branch in August with some friends.  It is a short drive to Bear Creek if you want to kayak or canoe, but the cabins are on lakefront property and you can just jump in!  

  The cabins are clean and quiet.  They have a full kitchen, bathroom, and ours slept two in a double bed, but there is room in the living area for cots or sleeping on the couch if you wanted.  The couches are huge, and the cabins have cable.  WiFi is also available, though it is slow.

  The campsites are also nice.  We drove through the area, scouting out where we want to tent camp in the future.

  David Crockett State Park Campground

  Great family place to camp

  Spent 3 nights here in December, 9-12th. Only half the camp sights were open, loop 1 was closed, but that's normal for the season. There's plenty to do here, trails to hike, sights to see. Good restaurant, an old mill, waterfalls, and playgrounds for the kids. Has 50, 30, and 20 amp electric hookups and water at all sights, plus fire ring and table. Dump station in loop 2. Clean restrooms and showers are available. Sites are all paved and level, decent separation. Nice rolling hills all around, and lots of wildlife.
