High speed, Nascar style outdoor adventure is so abundant at Talladega National Forest, we’re pretty sure Ricky Bobby spends his days here. Feel the wind in your hair on the Kentuck OHV or Sylaward Mountain Bike Trails. If you’re wanting more solitude, try hiking the challenging Odum Point where dwarf trees dot the landscape. Stunning laurels and huckleberry bushes will greet trail riders in the spring, and camping is as perfect as it gets with fall foliage greeting you in the autumn. Waterfalls, rugged ridgetops, and shady hollers ensure there’s no need to get hopped up on mountain dew; Talladega will have you hopped on adventure before you can say “shake and bake”!

Welcome to CAMP 222, a private campground nestled on approximately 1 acre of land adjacent to Lewis Smith Lake in Cullman, AL.
Experience the tranquility of lake life as you enjoy boating adventures accessed via our private boat ramp. Relax and bask in the sun on our floating sun deck, or unwind in the shade with a nap in one of our hammocks. As night falls, gather around our fire pit to share stories without the distractions of nearby campers.
Our campground offers camper hook-ups for water and electricity, although sewer facilities are not available from April - November a portable toilet is on site. During the months of December - March, guests must either have a camper with a restroom or bring their own camp toilets.
Conveniently situated just off Cullman County Road 222, our campsite is within a quarter mile of two gas stations, two independently owned stores offering short-order food options, and a Dollar General. While there may be some road noise from County Road 222, especially during daytime hours, it typically tapers off in the evening and nighttime.
Enjoy stunning views of the 4th of July fireworks from Smith Lake Park, as our property provides a prime vantage point.
Lewis Smith Lake, managed by Alabama Power, spans 21,000 acres and is the deepest lake in Alabama at 264 ft. The water level varies throughout the year, usually reaching full-pool from April to July before gradually decreasing for the autumn and winter seasons. Please note the rocky shore near the sun deck, which is why jumping or diving from the sun deck is prohibited.
The nearby City of Cullman, located approximately 10 miles away, offers abundant shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Additionally, the city hosts numerous festivals throughout the year, including the Strawberry Festival in April, Octoberfest in October, and Christkindlmarkt in November & December.

Meadow Song Sanctuary @ The Barn On Grandview
18. Meadow Song Sanctuary @ The Barn On Grandview
10mi from Boaz · 1 site
Meadow Song Sanctuary is a peaceful, evolving ecological sanctuary set among rolling hills, mature oak trees, open meadows, and a quiet pond. The property is being intentionally restored as a place where people, wildlife, pollinators, creativity, and community can thrive together.
Guests may wake to birdsong, watch dragonflies and butterflies move through the landscape, relax beneath the trees, or spend time overlooking the pond from the hillside. Depending on the dates of your stay, the property may feel deeply quiet and private, or you may have the opportunity to experience workshops, classes, seasonal festivals, healing gatherings, music, art, or other community-centered events taking place nearby.
A stay here offers the freedom to choose your own rhythm: peaceful solitude in nature, meaningful connection with others, or a little of both.
Please note that the property is not always freshly mowed as shown in some photos. We intentionally leave portions of the meadow and landscape wild or seasonally overgrown to support wildlife habitat, wildflower growth, pollinators, biodiversity, and healthy soil ecology. The appearance of the land naturally changes throughout the seasons as part of the sanctuary's ecological restoration.

Another perfect camping trip at camp 222! As usual, the grounds were perfect. We saw plenty of geese and ducks and other wildlife. For those who haven’t been yet, this is par for the course. The port-a potty was very clean. We had enough firewood, that was provided free of charge. We had power, we had water, we had a hot outdoor shower that was just amazing! We had everything that we needed to enjoyed ourselves. It was three generations… myself, my son and my grandson! My grandson, who is 10…it was his first ever camping trip and we couldn’t keep him calm down enough, nor did we try to ! Thank you so much Rachel ! We look forward to another outstanding trip back !!

Awesome new campsite! The hosts are lovely. They met us and let us pick wherever we’d like to go, plus goody bags and some wood! The hook ups are great, amazing view from the ridge off to the north east. Clear skies and bright stars. No blinding camp lights which is amazing! Most campsites have huge pillars that blast light into your tents, but this one was really serene. New bathrooms and showers, and only a couple minutes down the street from Cherokee Rock Village for climbing (no power there). Excited to have a good spot to base camp at for long climbing weekends!

This campsite is so easy to camp at. Danny has Dark Hollow so well setup, maintained, and organized. The property has everything a tent camper looking for a creek spot to leisurely explore.
We tent camped for 2 nights. I have a small car, which allowed me to pull right up to the campsite we chose, named “The Ledge.” We had a fire pit, picnic table, immediate trailhead access, and a view I dream of waking up to always.
We spent hours exploring the creek, laying out in the sun, birdwatching, and more. The trails are easy to follow, however, you need hiking boots. I would say the trails we did were easy with moderate-difficult areas depending on how far you decide to go.
If you are someone who loves simple outdoor camping, book a few nights at Dark Hollow. There is an outdoor propane powered shower at the top of the campground, an outhouse toward the bottom/middle, a spigot for utility water, and trash cans. There is an option to add on firewood; I didn’t have to haul bundles of it in my tiny car.
Oh, man. We had the best time here.
I highly suggest Dark Hollow for tent campers who want to explore outside of public parks.
Thank you, Danny, for sharing such a special place.

Excellent place, beautiful camp sites. Lots of firewood available. Take a hike down into the hollow... it lives up to its name. Its dark and spooky down in the bottoms following the trails down. There's showers and bathrooms available. It's a quiet place, very secluded and feels safe. We were the only people there that night and still felt very safe. There's a gated entrance that's locked at night so nobody can just wander in. Im looking forward to cooler weather so we can return.
