Several RV campgrounds offer full hookup sites near Valley Head and the surrounding mountain region, with options ranging from large parks suited to big rigs to smaller gravel-site properties. Little River RV Park & Campground provides 64 sites with water, sewer, and electrical connections including 50-amp service for larger motorhomes. 1776 RV And Campground in Mentone features 14 gravel RV sites with full hookups and reliable WiFi despite poor cell reception in the area. Wills Creek RV Park accommodates big rigs with spacious sites, though some visitors note the newly developed section has tight spacing and uneven terrain. Tranquility Campground offers full hookup RV sites in a wooded setting with lake access. "Sites weren't particularly level, all gravel and the grass appeared hastily sown over unleveled soil with large clumps of clay and rocks present."
Most RV parks in the region operate year-round, making them accessible during all seasons including fall when the area's foliage draws visitors. Sharp turns and mountain roads can present challenges for larger motorhomes, particularly when accessing parks near DeSoto State Park and Little River Canyon. Dump stations are available at most established RV parks, though amenities vary significantly between properties. Cell service is unreliable throughout much of the mountainous terrain, with one visitor noting "very poor signal but WiFi works great all over the park." Pets are generally permitted at all area RV parks. Laundry facilities exist at select locations, though they may be some distance from campsites in larger parks. Advance reservations are strongly recommended during peak seasons.

ScoutThis is a small rv park located in Boaz Al, its just down the street from the Boaz police station so its nice and quiet. They don't have a lot of amenities like pools, or playgrounds but its great if you just need a cheap place to stay. As of this review its $20 a night for either a 30 or a 50 amp hookup along with water and sewer. The monthly rates are $400 for 30 amp sites and $500 for 50 amp sites.
LegendBattlefield Campground is an extremely convenient RV park located right of I-75 about 20 minutes south of Chattanooga. It is very easy to get to, but part of that convenience comes with an absence of quiet; the interstate runs directly beside the campground, and is visible from the storage sites across from sites 11-24.
This is an excellent place for long-term campers, and it includes a nice playground, a pool, and a camp store/clubhouse. We could not get close to the pool or playground as they were closed due to COVID-19, which was comforting that they are taking public safety seriously. Sites include 50 and 30 amp full service, and seven tent sites in the middle of the campground that also include electric. There are seven camping cabins spaced throughout the campground that have outside picnic tables and grills, and beds inside as well as electricity.
Most of the sites here are nicely wooded, and as the area is slightly hilly there are elevation changes between several rows of sites which allows for a little more privacy than many RV parks offer.
Downsides to this park are the highway noise, and the campground roads are paved but in need of maintenance; the road is eroded in a lot of places.
Upsides are the sites are shady and well landscaped, and there are great amenities for families looking to stay here for extended periods of time, as well as the proximity to Chattanooga, Chickamauga Battlefield, and Ringold/Ft. Oglethorpe.
GuideQuiet RV park close to Ft Payne and surrounding parks such as Desoto state Park. Close to Little River Canyon waterfall among others. (A must see). Sites at park very close together and our dually truck had to be parked sideways in front or back of site. One side of park is for long term stays while the other side is for up to two week stays. Other than that friendly check in and was able to have ups delivery. Available Sites are able to be chosen when get there. Internet using Verizon (nomad) for work is only ok. My husband was able to work on conference calls ect but had one dropped call and while he was working I wasn’t able to use our internet. Evening hours when trying to stream sling was difficult to non existent the second week of our stay. Gave it 4 stars due to friendliness and ups delivery.
ScoutBeautiful grounds. Pet friendly. Big rig friendly. Clean. Dog play yard. Near interstate.
LegendThe Foster Falls campground has 26 rustic campsites ideal for tents or small trailers. The Foster Falls Campground is the only camping area in the park where guests may park a car and/or pop-ups next to the campsite. The campground is open year-round.
All sites have a fire ring and a picnic table. Most sites are wooded, offering some shade and have a level, gravel surface. A few are on a slight incline. There are no water or electric hook-ups but a restroom and heated showers are available. No gas generators are allowed at the Foster Falls Campground. Water must be filtered from natural sources or carried in, be sure to check with the ranger stations about water availability. A pit toilet is also available at each campground.
TravelerOverall good stay. Little bit pricey. But the spots are nice. We pull a fifth wheel toy hauler. Had a pull thru spot with full hook up. Restroom/shower house close by that was very clean. Contactless check in. Online reservation. We brought our dogs along, and everybody had a dog here with them. You do have a little bit of yard in front of your camper but your neighbor is a little bit close. Close to Chattanooga and the sites. We did the zoo, aquarium and Rock City. Long weekend trip.
LegendBattlefield Campground & RV park is locates right off the exit in Ringgold, Ga, right behind the Georgia Winery, so it is very close to Chattanooga. The campground seems to have a lot of long term guests, so I wouldn’t recommend it if you are looking for a relaxing retreat to the woods. The sites are very close to each other, and most of them were full when we stayed. We were on site #69, right across from the pool. The Campground does have some nice amenities like the pool, and playground, dog park, and the pavilion, which I’m not sure what this space is used for, but it was nicely furnished and could be used to host a party or something. The restrooms were exceptionally clean! The bathhouse located in the pavilion was very nice. The staff here is very friendly and accommodating. The location was convenient for us to get back and forth from Chattanooga, but I would only return out of necessity, as I prefer to be a little more secluded when I’m camping.
TravelerDespite what the website shows there are a couple of pull through sites. Nice state park that is well maintained. Awesome views from the rim trails. Power and water hookups only. Clean bath houses with laundry facilities. Lots of covered pavilions for group gatherings. Cabins and yurts available to rent. Lots of trails from mild to exterme. Walk in tent sites. Mountain bike rentals, disc golf and tennis courts as well as a fishing lake.
Sites are nice with grill and picnic table.
Great spot with lots of activities.

Camping sites near Valley Head, Alabama sit at elevations ranging from 650 to 1,800 feet within the foothills of Lookout Mountain, contributing to cooler summer temperatures than surrounding lowlands. Fall camping in this region typically features nighttime temperatures 10-15 degrees cooler than daytime highs. Many campgrounds operate within 20 miles of Valley Head, with both wooded sites near Mentone and open sites with mountain views closer to Fort Payne.
Hiking near Little River Canyon: Little River RV Park & Campground provides access to nearby canyon trails. "This site is well taken care of and provides reservations. They are also extremely close to the Little River Canyon park which makes it worth it. The canyon is gorgeous and provides for some amazing views especially if you drive the entire scenic road and stop at all the lookouts," notes one camper.
Waterfall exploration: DeSoto Falls sits less than a mile from Tranquility Campground. "You can easily get to Desoto falls by foot (.85 mile) with spectacular views. Also this park is just minutes from downtown Mentone and super close to Desoto State Park," states a review.
Kayaking on Cedar Creek: Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center offers rentals and guided trips. "This place is so quiet and peaceful. We fully enjoyed be able to relax by the creek and watch the water flow by. If you are looking for a quiet, reflective park this is the place," shares one visitor.
Mountain climate: 1776 RV And Campground in Mentone features cooler temperatures due to elevation. "Nice quiet small campground just outside downtown Mentone. Friendly helpful camp host, clean bathhouse, full hook ups and great wifi access so husband could work from camper. Lots of hiking trails within a short drive," reports one camper.
Proximity to outdoor activities: Mentone's location provides easy access to multiple recreation areas. "I love this campground. It's located right off the main highway, and has pull-through spots with full hookups. But the best part is the screaming fast internet! We work from home and the internet was so fast, people were amazed when I told them I was at a campground," notes one remote worker staying at 1776 RV.
Well-maintained wooded sites: Little River RV Park & Campground offers shaded camping spots. "This is my go to campground in fort Payne Alabama. The owners are super nice!! There is a pond with cute ducks!! You can buy a bundle of fire wood for $5. It is less than a mile from little river canyon national park!" shares an enthusiastic camper.
Terrain challenges: Sites throughout the region have variable levelness and accessibility. "Most sites have a slight to moderate slope to them. Lots of shade. Close to DeSoto State Park that has lots of hiking and site-seeing. Good alternative when DeSoto campground has no availability," explains one visitor to Little River RV Park.
Cell service limitations: Wills Creek RV Park has better connectivity than most. "Quiet RV park close to Ft Payne and surrounding parks such as Desoto state Park. Close to Little River Canyon waterfall among others. Internet using Verizon (nomad) for work is only ok. My husband was able to work on conference calls etc but had one dropped call," notes a remote worker.
Seasonal timing considerations: Fall brings peak tourism with its associated crowds. "We were there for the start of the fall colors changing and the views were awesome!" reports one camper, while another mentions "Foliage was still pretty, but would have been better end of October" when describing their visit to Tranquility Campground.
Lake access for fishing: Tranquility Campground offers catch-and-release fishing. "There is a 6 acre lake for fishing but it's catch & release. And no swimming or kayaks allowed. There was a bath house with toilets and showers not too far from the tent camping sites," explains one visitor.
Playground facilities: Several campgrounds include play areas for children. "The playground was fun for my kiddos although it really wasn't age appropriate for our 3 year old twins very well," notes one family camping at Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center.
Spacious sites for family activities: Look for campgrounds with room for games and gathering. "We parked our 22ft travel trailer at site 30 which was bounded to the north and east by the tent camping area. While the RV sites aren't very private, there is plenty of space to escape your neighbor," reports a family at Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center.
Utility placement considerations: RV sites near Valley Head, Alabama sometimes have unusual hookup arrangements. "We were placed in the new addition of the park, where the sites were very tight and the utility hookups where in a strange position (the neighbors' utilities actually were under our awning when extended)," notes one RVer at Wills Creek RV Park.
Internet reliability for remote work: Reliable connectivity exists despite spotty cell service. "Bob and his family recently purchased the park and are working hard to make it better. If you plan on using your cell up here...don't very poor signal but WI FI works great all over the park. It is small yes but so peaceful," reports an RVer at 1776 RV And Campground.
Site surface conditions: Many RV parks feature gravel pads with variable levelness. "One night stop and it's a great place. Water, electric and sewer which is a huge plus. Sites are level and easy to access," notes one RVer at Hawkins Pointe RV Park, while others mentioned gravel sites requiring leveling blocks at several local campgrounds.
