Weekend Trip to Hidden Branch Campground

Amazing property great amenities absolutely loved the beautiful pond caught a bass just about every cast everything was very clean and well kept will definitely be back

1 night at Argo’s Park & Trails

Beautiful place and easy to get to. He was very nice and even came out and said hi and showed me where supplies were

Weekend Trip to Dark Hollow

My family and I had a great stay at this camp. We had the larger site at the top of the hill. It was clean, organized, and had nice amenities I don't normally have while tent camping. On site water, outhouse, and solar shower. The fire rings were great and everything was really well maintained. The hike down to see the creek was really pleasant. Highly recommend and definitely will be back!

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

Another magical stay at Parksland! We’ll definitely be back again (& again!) The bell tent was so cozy and comfortable! They have thought of everything! Highly recommend FF3 - we fell asleep to the sounds of the creek. And definitely don't miss the sauna on Saturdays at sundown for the ultimate unwind. Parksland is our favorite getaway and we are so grateful to Dusty sharing his slice of paradise with us!

1 night at Dark Hollow

The camp host was very friendly and helpful. The site was very nice and close to the shower and bathroom. There is a nice trail that I took down to the water. Overall a great experience.

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

Another wonderful stay at Parksland. A true gem where you can be free in nature. Dustin is such a gracious host. I’ll be back as soon as I can

Weekend Trip to Dark Hollow

The camp sites here are well cared for and set up really nice. I woke up and hiked down the infinity loop trail, the vegetation is beautiful. The hike had challenging inclines and it feels good. I was alone and felt very safe here. If you need a breather in a beautiful spot with a potty and a shower I cannot say enough good things about this gem of a campsite :) I will be back.

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

We loved the P3 creekside camping spot!!! We had our own access to the creek, and plenty of privacy. The host is incredibly kind and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed while there. We will definitely be going back soon! One last note: Be sure to pack super light for the walk from the car to the camping site!

Weekend Trip to Heart of the Country

Dave was a great host with a beautiful place. Would highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Argo’s Park & Trails

Great space! Just what I needed for the night! Would stay again!

Weekend Trip to Dark Hollow

Fantastic spot! The camping areas are very well laid out and was definitely well cared for. Nice picnic tables, well maintained composting privy, we didn’t use the outdoor shower but were very impressed that it was available for us. We arrived in the evening just before a rain storm so unfortunately we didn’t hike the property. Danny was a great host. He met us onsite and suggested the best spot for our trailer. He definitely takes pride in his work and it shows. The location was super convenient. “The Diner” is just minutes away- we stopped for breakfast on our way out of town. Absolutely we recommend this host and property. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

1 night at Heart of the Country

Great location, clean and quiet. Dave (host) was super nice .. I arrived late and he greeted me and was helpful. A highly recommended Hipcamp spot

3 nights at Dark Hollow

This was my second visit to Dark Hollow. Such a special, peaceful place to get in touch with nature. I will always come back here when I need some solitude.

2 nights at Parksland Retreat

Beautiful spot owned by great people! We stayed at P3 and it was very quiet and peaceful, it’s definitely not meant for heavy camping, more for backpack/light camping. We will be returning!

1 night at Dark Hollow

Great place, excellent camping, toilets and amazing warm outdoor shower. Perfect Hipcamp for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Host was absolutely 10/10, highly recommend - Zed was super friendly and an absolute hoot of a human to chat with.

Weekend Trip to Larry & Sheila's Blackwater Getaway

Great trip!

4 nights at Hidden Branch Campground

Hidden Branch Campground is beautiful and peaceful. Nothing to do — and that’s a GOOD thing! Spent most of my time just listening to birds and reading; even downloaded a Bird Identifier app! (Yes, the WiFi is good enough for that.). Hope we can come back soon.

Weekend Trip to Gullatte Acres

We had an amazing stay here with our German shepherd. He was able to run around with another camper’s dog & had so much fun! We found a nice level spot for our tent on top of the car & enjoyed the sunset with smores. Firewood was provided, which was really nice! The bathroom was clean & had running water, we didn’t use the shower but there was one. Samuel was responsive when we messaged about firewood. We had no problem finding it either!

Weekend Trip to Heart of the Country

Dave is a friendly guy. Spot was flat and level for our campervan and we had all the privacy we wanted. We aren't dog people, but his dog was very well behaved and didn't bark or disturb at all.

3 nights at Gullatte Acres

This was my first trip using HipCamp! The host/owner Sam was very friendly welcoming when I arrived and gave me a tour. He responded quickly to questions I had. We all had Verizon cell service and had no issues with calls and data usage. I don't know about other carriers. His farm is beautiful and huge! The weather was perfect for us in mid April, we had dispersed tent camping and found a spot by the lake in the shade. There was plenty of free firewood for us to use. Sam had mentioned they are planning to add more fire rings to the property soon. The bathroom shack was clean with a flush toilet and running water and the outdoor shower was refreshing. There's an outdoor water hydrant for fresh potable water by the shower shack for the primitive campers to use. The sunsets were stunning each night and our dogs loved running around the open fields. We took a walk around the whole property to soak it all in. The Dollar General 5 minutes away was great for quick re-supply runs. We were saying his property would be great for a small music festival! We will likely be back in the fall.

Dug Hill Moto & Outdo Shenanigans

7 sites · RVs, Tents32 acres · Gurley, AL

Monte Sano Mountain rises quietly above Huntsville, Alabama—an unflashy ridge of limestone and shadow that holds more history and wilderness than most who pass it ever realize. It is not a mountain of spectacle but of mood, of subtle discoveries, and of quiet resistance to modern noise. Its slopes are threaded with forgotten wagon paths, foot-worn trails, and the slow, unrelenting work of water. Caves open like cracks in time. Small waterfalls cut through dense forest and vanish into the ground. Towering trees—oak, hickory, and poplar—form a green cathedral overhead, filtering light in ways that feel reverent. In some pockets, the air still carries the chill of the earth itself. Beneath the surface runs a deeper story. Long before Huntsville pushed east, Monte Sano offered its elevation to the sick, the curious, and the stubborn. Tuberculosis patients came in the 19th century, seeking healing in the mountain’s clean, dry air. Naturalists cataloged rare plants here. Native peoples traveled and camped across its ridgelines, long before names were given or boundaries drawn. And yet, despite the time that has passed, the mountain remains unpolished—intact. For those who seek true solitude, a few primitive campsites are available through Hipcamp. These are not curated experiences. There are no toilets. No showers. No host waiting with coffee or gear. Just a trail, a flat spot in the woods, and the sound of your own boots on rock. It is camping reduced to its essential form: a place to lie down among trees and stars, with nothing between you and the mountain but time. Monte Sano doesn’t posture. It does not cater. It exists—and that, for some, is enough.

Camping in Alabama guide

Overview

Even if “Sweet Home Alabama” isn’t already on your road trip playlist, you should add the southern state to your camping itinerary. With its mountains, inland lakes, and Gulf Coast beaches, Alabama has plenty to offer campers, whether you prefer hiking to mountains and waterfalls, diving into Civil Rights history, or renting a seaside cottage—all served with a warm spoonful of Southern hospitality, of course. Opt for a seafront or lakeside campsite in summer when temperatures soar beyond 90°F, or choose a fall or winter trip for cooler weather ideal for hiking.

Where to go

North Alabama

Hikers and campers are in their element in Alabama’s northern wilderness, dotted with caves, waterfalls, and woodlands. Go hiking and kayaking in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains at DeSoto State Park, peep the fall foliage at Little River Canyon National Preserve, and discover the caves of Cathedral Caverns State Park. Or head to the shores of Alabama’s largest lake to camp, boat, and spot bald eagles at Lake Guntersville State Park.

Central Alabama

Urban campers can find plenty of distractions in Birmingham, but Alabama’s largest city is also within easy reach of some of the state’s most memorable natural landscapes. Great hiking, biking, and camping can be found in Talladega National Forest, after which you can scale Alabama’s highest peak at Cheaha State Park and explore ancient caves at Rickwood Caverns State Park. Other popular campgrounds are found at Lake Lurleen and Wind Creek state parks.

South Alabama

Montgomery is the gateway to south Alabama and neighbouring Selma is a key stop on the Civil Rights trail, but outside of the cities, south Alabama is all about lakeside camping. To the east, Lake Eufaula is known as the “Big Bass Capital of the World” and has a wide choice of campgrounds, while nearby Blue Springs State Park offers plenty of lake camping. To the west, the Tombigbee River Valley is also prime for getting on the water.

Gulf Coast

Alabama’s 60-mile stretch of Gulf Coast shoreline is the place to cool off from the summer sun, spot shorebirds along the wetlands, or tee off at one of many coastal golf courses. RV parks are easy to find around the resort towns of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, while Dauphin Island remains a perennial favorite for beach camping. Alternatively, snag an RV site with full hookups at Gulf State Park, or book a cabin on the shores of Lake Shelby at Meaher State Park.
