Weekend Trip to Strattonooga

The site is wonderful with a beautiful view of the lake and your own private pier on the water. The owners happened to be next door during our stay and they introduced themselves and told us to send a message if there were any issues or questions. We didn’t have any but really appreciated their hospitality. We had to cut our trip short due to weather, but would definitely be interested in staying at this spot again in the future.

3 nights at Strattonooga

We had the most relaxing 3 days at Shannon’s site with 4 adults and 3 kids (10, 8, & 1.5). We spent hours fishing. My eight year old caught 9 bluegills and we observed the real pros catching bass. The huge dock was perfection! You could find us either floating from it or jumping off it during most daylight. All hookups worked like a charm. We will definitely make a plan to return.

Weekend Trip to Glamping at Cheaha State Park

We brought our 4 kids for their first camping trip and it was such a fun time. This is the ultimate “glamping” experience. There is so much to love about this location! The different hiking trails and waterfalls were simply beautiful. I have nothing negative to share. This was a great idea for our family. The staff at the park were so kind. Thank you Timberland & Hipcamp for suggesting this adventure.

Weekend Trip to Strattonooga

Beautiful site! Nice and level with full hook ups very quiet and relaxing and the hosts was very friendly we will definitely be back!

3 nights at Strattonooga

Wonderful experience all around! Quick responses from the owner. Incredibly neat and tidy camp spot. Beautiful views of the lake! 100% recommend!

I feed the livestock grain every morning usually between 8 and 9 am, and again hay before dusk. You are always welcome to join me and I'll introduce all of them to you! My dog, Homer, is our very friendly welcoming ambassador who will enthusiastically great you upon your arrival. I put him up in his kennel each evening around dusk, then lock him in his shed until morning which keeps him from backing during the night. We also host an AirBnB, so other guests may be here as well. Texting via the app is our preferred mode of communication. If you call, please leave a message if I can't answer, and I will call you back. We are slowly updating the site photos. Use them only to determine your price, for example: A site with 30 amp power and water is $25 per night. A site with 20 amp power and water is $20 per night. A boondocking site (no power) is $15 per night. All sites have access to a porta-potty and water. Suggested local attraction: Blakeley State Historic Park is four miles away.

Whippoorwill Woods Nature Retreat

4 sites · RVs, Tents100 acres · South Pittsburg, TN

Opening March 1 for the 2025 camping season! Three years ago our multi-generational family decided to go on an adventure. We had talked about moving to the woods for years, but finally decided to turn our dreams into reality. After hiking through what felt like every property for sale over 100 acres in North Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, we finally found the perfect spot. Why do we call our property Whippoorwill Woods? Did you know that whippoorwills don’t nest in trees? They lay their eggs on the ground in the forest. They’re birds that love camping! As soon as we heard the whippoorwills start singing in the spring, we knew it was the perfect name. We’re so excited to share our property with campers who love nature as much as we do. We specifically set up the campsites to give as much privacy as possible. We hope you’ll come visit and soak up the bird songs, the wind in the trees, and the beautiful sunsets over the mountains. We have 20 acres of savannah grassland full of native plants and wildflowers and over 80 untouched acres full of awesome rock formations and creeks with waterfalls available for you to hike. There's a stocked fish pond for catch and release fishing and a gorgeous view overlooking the Cumberland Plateau and the Sherwood Valley. Experienced and beginner campers are welcome! We live on one side of the property, so we’re available to assist (setting up tents for the first few times is no joke!) or we’re happy to give you as much space and solitude as you need. We have three campsites available in the native savannah grassland, and one that is a "hike-in and choose your favorite spot in the woods" site. We have a porta-potty available, but if you're hiking in, you'll want to bring some WAG bags with you. If you have any questions, or if there’s anything we can do to help, don’t hesitate to ask! We look forward to your visit! The Jansohn and Combs Families

Dog-friendly camping in Alabama guide

Overview

No matter where in Alabama your travels take you, from Birmingham to the southern wilderness, chances are you can bring your pets. Dogs are welcome in most Alabama state parks and public areas, so long as theyre on a leash and dont stray off-trail. That means your leashed pooch is free to chase waterfalls in Bankhead National Forest, run through fall leaves in De Soto State Park, and splash along the surf in Gulf State Park. Some parks even offer dog-friendly cabin rentals for an extra fee, including Oak Mountain, Lake Guntersville, and Monte Sano. Though dogs are largely welcome throughout Alabama, pet owners should follow all rules and be respectful, keeping in mind that dogs are not allowed in swimming pools and might be banned on mixed-use trails for safety reasons.
