Monte Sano Mountain
7 sites · RVs, Tents32 acres · Gurley, AL
We would like to offer overnight camping opportunities for hikers and bikers exploring the Mountain Mist trail network on Monte Sano Mountain.
You'll find our camping spot conveniently located just off the Goat Trail, providing a serene setting for your outdoor adventure.
Please note that parking facilities are not provided on our property. We kindly ask you to make your own parking arrangements and understand that we cannot offer suggestions on where to park. Additionally, it's important to clarify that we are not affiliated in any way with Monte Sano State Park.
The Goat Trail, mentioned in the attached text, is a scenic 2.5-mile singletrack trail that leads from the Three Benches to Mountain Mist. This trail, like many others on Monte Sano, is characterized by its challenging terrain, filled with roots and rocks. Hikers will encounter beautiful natural features, such as the sinks, and enjoy the craftsmanship of man-made stone pathways, bridges, and creek crossings along the way.
Please respect the beauty of the trail and leave no trace behind.
If you're interested in camping near the Goat Trail, we welcome you to reach out for further details and availability.
Thank you!
