RangerCampground closed
Campground is shut down. Run down. Hasn’t been up kept for some reason. Guessing COVID. Did have boat ramp and a vault toilet for day use only. Looks to have been a nice place when it was opened.
TravelerThey are building campgrounds currently
No campgrounds yet but the day area and boating area is very nice. Would definitely reccomend to anyone.
RangerBankhead National Forest camping
There is hiking, swimming, mountain biking, boating, fishing, and swimming here. Incredible scenery including waterfalls, old growth forests, canyons, etc. Close to waterways. The campground is medium sized, dense forests surround the campsites. The amenities are pretty standard. Fairly easy access to Birmingham and Huntsville.
Yay: great wildlife, as this is in the middle of a huge wilderness area.
Nay: closed winters but there are some other places open year-round nearby.
Surprise: The host was wonderful and recommended to visit Mize Mill Falls and Caney Creek Falls, both incredible places.
