Situated atop northeast Alabama’s Lookout Mountain, Desoto State Park is a 3,500-acre nature preserve and recreation destination that features vibrant forests, gushing waterfalls, and rugged mountain scenery. The park is located 8 miles northeast of Fort Payne, and approximately 75 miles east of Huntsville making it a great place camping near Atlanta. Dedicated in 1939, the park was named after Hernando de Soto, the renowned 16th century explorer. Prior to its dedication, most of the park’s roads, trails and facilities were constructed through the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), a Depression-era works program that improved many of the country’s parks and forests, while providing jobs and skills to millions of struggling Americans. The park boasts many local legends, including one that suggests that the area may have been settled by Welsh explorers, centuries before Columbus’s arrival in the New World. Visitors are invited to learn more about DeSoto State Park by camping in the park.
The campground at DeSoto State Park features 94 full-hookup sites for tent and RV campers. Sites have either back-in or pull-through parking pads, and can accommodate large vehicles/trailers. Each site is equipped with picnic tables and cooking grills, and there are two comfort stations available with restrooms, showers and laundry facilities. A dump station is located onsite. The park also has a primitive tent campground that offers 16 sites with fire pits. Picnic tables, cooking grills, potable water, trash receptacles, and vault toilets are located in this campground’s central area. There are also two primitive backpacker camps with sleeping shelters and fire pits, but no water or trash service. In addition to camping, the park also offers a variety of chalets, cabins and motel rooms for those less interested in roughing it. Other amenities include picnic areas, an outdoor pool, tennis courts, and a playground. Campsite rates range from $15–$36/night, plus fees; other accommodation rates vary.
Visitors will find a variety of seasonal activities to enjoy at DeSoto State Park, from hiking and fishing to geocaching and zip-lining. Start your visit by checking out the CCC Museum and Benefield Interpretive Center to learn about the park’s history, flora and fauna. Drop into the country store and purchase a trail map for the park’s 30 miles of hiking and biking paths. Trails range in distance and difficulty, so there’s a path for everyone. There’s even a barrier-free boardwalk trail. Swimming, fishing and kayaking can be enjoyed on the West Fork Little River, which runs right through the park. The park also hosts guided hikes, campfire programs, and community events. Thrill-seekers can get a bird’s eye view over the park on the Aerial Adventure zipline course, which includes six ziplines and seven sky bridges, and golfers can tee off at the DeSoto Golf Course, just a few miles south of the park.

Bob has a wonderfully serene campground for both RV’s and tent camping. I invite everybody looking for a quiet place on Mentone to visit 1776 RV.
ScoutVery well kept RV campground.
TravelerI 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. We didn't even try to use our 5G system. The rates are great, too!
Scout
I didn’t get the chance to have an experience because they would not even rent to me because I have mixed breed rescue dogs.
ScoutGreat location near I-75. Just stayed for a quick overnight.
Guide
This place did not disappoint. Wife and I were wanting to stay at Desoto State Park but it was full. The husband and wife duo that owns this took us in and treated us like royalty. They looked after us and even stayed up all night to help everyone watch the weather during a tornado watch. RV spots were very shady from all the trees and super quiet. Beautiful piece of property. Bath houses kept hot water too!
Scout
This is a beautiful place. If you’re looking for more primitive and secluded places to camp this place is mainly for POEPLE with rvs.
Ranger
What a beautiful place. Stayed the weekend and hit almost all of the trails, saw 4 waterfalls and so many amazing rock formations. There are three trailheads that leave directly from the campground, which is a well-kept and clean place with well spaced sites. The upper loop is on a hill, but the sites are spaced out slightly more than the lower loop. The lower loop was more level and a bit newer. The best sites are in the 60s on the outer part of the lower loop. Just a wonderful place to spend a weekend.
TravelerStayed two nights, had a great time. Plenty to do all close by, as well as a few comforts to make the time easier if you want them.
Scout
Very peaceful and clean park.
Traveler
Small spots right on the water with a friendly staff and lots of peace. My family and I will be back often
Scout
This a gated park. Owners take you to your site. Park has many trails for you to hike. Owners and staff are very friendly.
GuideClean place with very friendly staff. Lots of hiking trails. Bath house was clean unsure about water quality
LegendThis is one of our favorite state parks in Alabama to camp at and is amazing when you visit in the spring and see all the wildflowers. There are also so many great places to swim when it gets hot including DeSoto Falls and the stream that runs through the park.

The Good:
The staff member that checked us in was really friendly and polite. She was a delight to talk to and did a great job explaining the information we needed to know.
The C57 lot is right beside the dam and put in area for tubing. It was nice to sit out back and hear the water rushing through the opening in the dam.
The site had 50 and 30 amp service, water and sewer. Everything worked great. The site was pretty close to level.
After the tubers were done for the day, the creek was a pretty quiet area. The fish were biting and several folks pulled up some nice bass throughout the stay.
Tubing is included with the stay.
The Bad:
The roads are gravel (well mostly dirt) and are full of potholes. They aren't maintained very well at all.
Coming into the park you pass an area with a bunch of full-time campers sitting nearly on top of each other. It's a rough looking area that you will need to pass by with entry or exit.
The grass wasn't maintained very well and there were clippings blown everywhere. The picnic table was covered, there were piles of grass all over and the grass / weeds on the walk down to the creek were knee high.
The firepit was full of trash and glass. I didn't even bother with it. It was also closer to my neighbor than my campsite. His firepit was an old rim.
Very little gravel to park the RV on. Mostly grass.
No room between campers. My neighbors awning was basically on top of my hookups.
Despite a lengthy list of rules, I didn't see any being enforced. Neighbors were shooting fireworks, open glass containers all around the water, no quiet time enforcement, etc...
GuideWe stayed M-F; the park was 70% ish occupied; lots of great hikes, although most of the water falls were dry 🤷🏼♂️. #seasonal. Paddled above DeSoto Falls on the Little River. Mostly cooked out, but a lunch visit to the Wildflower in Mentone is worth it.
Traveler our site was not clean. There was trash and a dirty fire ring.  Trails are really nice but the campground is in need of maintenance. 
GuideBanning Mills has 2 parks. 1 that central based are ziplines..90 of them. Great place for the kids or adults who are still kids... Then there's the camp grounds that's about a mile down the road. Very impressive. 1st thing you'll notice is the key card you get at the main office. It opens up these huge Gothic iorn gates. If you don't have a key your not driving in. All the campsites are set back in the woods at different elevations and really cool. It took us about 6 months to get in here. Long waiting list. The rent was $500 a month for a 50amp spot. They have pools and hiking and fishing and zip lines and the tallest man made rock climbing wall...over 100ft tall. They have paddle boats, canoes, fish, snakes, mosquitoes... All.n.all great place. We went during the height of covid 19 so the morning buffet they have was diminished to a plate of food. Cool place.
Scoutwe stayed in a tent site in dec '22'' , the sites are very close together and the tent site we were on hardly had enough space for our 3 person backpacking tent . there are fire pits, grills, and tables available on each site as well as water . we appreciated the security gate and extremely clean and heated bathhouses with showers . the park has a nice playground and a pool we were unable to try during the winter months . the campground is very close to town and as so expect alot of noise from traffic
GuideCamped for two nights before heading to the smokies. Great trails, beautiful scenes, lots of space at outside loop sites. Plenty of wildlife that are around the campground including deer, gray fox, and fox squirrels. Bathhouses clean and staff friendly.
TravelerIt was a great place. Owners were super nice. Easy to get to local places. Lots of hiking and off roading for 4 wheels drives. WiFi/ Cell not great, but could text out. Shower/ bathroom clean. If you want to get away this is your place. Foliage was still pretty, but would have been better end of October.
LegendA beautiful and peaceful space for tent or RV camping very close to downtown Mentone as well as Desoto State Park. The campground is very wooded and well cared for with separate sites for tent only and RV camping. It has clean and well-maintained bathrooms that are at the top of the hill and there are flowers planted all around. This is one of the few parts of Alabama that is cool enough to camp in the summer(still hot but not miserable). They even have a lake on the grounds of the campground where you can cool off or take a short drive to Desoto falls and rent boats or go swimming. Take a look at their website for more details and all the offerings they have available(cabins).
GuideNew name Ceadar Braeak .Nice location 1 hr from Atlanta. A new owner has been up dating electric and water large pull through but no sewer hook up site 108 full sun. You are escorted to your site and later in the day they begin you cookies 🍪..nice people 👍

The bathrooms were pretty amazing compared to the last campground we were at which was also on alatoona lake as well. ( McKinney camp ground ) The first night we got here it was packed, like crazy packed with tent campers .. Soo it was stressful trying to park a travel trailer when surrounded by tents so close, i was tempted to just cancel my reservation and leave.. but once we got in .. the next day the tent campers left and I got to see how nice it actually is here! plenty of space for the kids to play and just walk right into the water . The water wasn’t working when we got here , the spout was broken but they quickly l sent a maintenance man here and fixed it which was great, and he was also super friendly. I love having a little general store on the grounds., they don’t have Much in there, but they have essentials .. ice , drinks , a little camping gear .. a few snacks. Play ground is great .. I haven’t used the beach but looking at it - it’s pretty big and nice. The campground it’s self is pretty small , which isn’t a bad thing. There’s tons of duck and geese that just walk right into your site .. which is really entertaining for children . I would definitely stay here again!
ScoutNice 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. Will definitely be back and stay longer.
Guide
If you have little ones this is for them. A little bit of everything from pools to zip lines. Very detailed itinerary list of times for activities for the kiddos. However if your wanting a peaceful place to stop and stay the night, probably not the best spot. They have gravel pads or pay a little extra for the deluxe concrete pad.
TravelerGood facilities in the improved campsites with coin op washers and dryers, though the dryers were not all working. Lots of hiking in the area and a pool in season. There are many swimming holes if you look along the water. Also Little River Canyon is near for many more swimming and hiking options. Have camped primitave here as well, pit toilet and community water. Some of the sites can be confusing but over all a lot of good spots.
