    Nice Campground!

    We stayed in the campground for 5 nights in this really nice state park. Large level sites, clean bath/shower facilities, quiet. Lots of mature trees that would make for a shaded campground in the summer. No leaves out when we were there in early April....More

    wonderful campground

    Beautiful, clean campground. Very clean shower facility with coin operated washer and dryer. Fantastic vistas. Nice space between lots, not one on top of the other.

    Great RV Camping

    The park is a beautifully wooded area offering plenty of shade and privacy. The road leading from town to the park is narrow and somewhat steep but patience and caution make the trip worthwhile. While in Huntsville the space center and arboretum are worth allocating...More

    Great for trail runs, mountain biking and hiking

    Beautiful state park with lots of people but never felt crowded. I went for a nice 5 mile run/hike through the south and north plateau trails. Would definitely go again. The red buds and daffodils are blooming but not much else. I hear it’s much...More
