The best family-friendly glamping in Alabama

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.

Quiet and clean- this off grid location is the perfect spot to get away from it all. We enjoyed the nature and the cool river. Our host was gracious and bed cozy. We are sure to return!

Weekend Trip to Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

I highly recommend Bohemia. Within 10 days I stayed there twice. I stayed in one of the A-frames. It is a great glamping experience. They have an experience. They have an online shop where you can order firewood, s’mores , ice , and bug spray. When I first got there, I got out my kayak and I went out on their pond. My second time there I explored their trails. There’s a beautiful dam with a waterfall on the yellow trail. There was a thunderstorm while I was there, and I felt quite safe and cozy in my little A-frame. Leigh who runs the grounds is fantastic and truly welcoming. It truly is a peaceful place to be in nature and reconnect. The bathrooms and the shower stalls were very well kept and cleaned daily. 5 ⭐️ from me. I will be back!

Weekend Trip to Larry & Sheila's Blackwater Getaway

We lucked out here. We had a quiet weekend (as you can with THREE boys 12,13,13). Sheila and Larry were so friendly, they stopped in a bit after we arrived. We were able to chat a bit while we were allowing the boys to be boys… sometimes it’s hard to be able to. It was so refreshing for me to enjoy nature and let the boys do the work and run like heathens for once. We will most definitely be back to this beautiful piece of property.

Bohamia was a great experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to have a base camp for experiencing the Talladega National Forest. Leigh was friendly, the restrooms and bath house were extremely clean, and the family tent was luxurious.

This place is a GEM. There has been careful thought put into everyone's privacy despite being close together so you can set up for both quiet time and community. The facilities are very clean, the beds are blissfully comfortable. We can not wait to come back!

The best family-friendly glamping in Alabama guide

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.
