Pinhoti Trail Backcountry Campground — Cheaha State Park
Reviewed Aug. 22, 2017

Incredible Trail

This is one of my favorite trails to camp on in Alabama and living in Birmingham it is not too far of a trek to get here. We often take people on this hike if it is their first backpacking trip. This campground is definitely one of the nicer options if you aren't staying up at the peak or if the peak campgrounds are full. The fire pit here is really nice for a big fire on a winter night and there are several overlooks if you go down the trail a little ways. The hike in is about a mile and mostly uphill. The other thing to be aware of is that most of the year there is no place to get water from so be prepared to carry in what you will need. Overall, there are better camping options but if you are looking for a site on an amazing hike this isn't a bad choice.
