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.

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.

Additionally, the city hosts numerous festivals throughout the year, including the Strawberry Festival in April, Octoberfest in October, and Christkindlmarkt in November & December.

I really enjoyed tent camping on Rachel’s land ! Everything was clean and beautiful. The hot shower was fantastic and having electricity on demand was great also! Firewood was provided although… I didn’t get a chance to use it only because the winds were blowing so much, I didn’t want to be irresponsible. I read where people mention the road noise…I think the key is getting there early enough and after a little bit, you kind of don’t notice it. Now, if you got there right before or at nightfall, it might be an irritant for a little while but… it dies down dramatically. It felt extremely safe and private. Upon getting there, Rachel’s dad and husband, met me at the gate, unlocked it and showed me everything I needed to be shown. How to use the hot shower, which was easy, how to turn on the power and use the electricity box, which was also easy also. The box had a 50-30- and 4 standard outlets …so you were covered all the way around as far as being able to have electricity for your tent or RV or pop-up! Also, there was a water outlet with drinkable water and three additional outlets for water…Note… it was great having a light switch on the electrical box, which turned on the lights goingacross the camping area! Right before they left, I was given the key to the gate and told to call if I had any issues or questions whatsoever, so I could lock and unlock the gate anytime ! Great place and great people! I am already planning my next trip back! Thank you so so much Rachel ! 😊

Clean and quiet campground. Nice amenities. We would love to come back in the warmer months to use the swimming hole. Kids loved the playground. I never could get the Wi-Fi to have a good signal, but that is the only issue we had during our stay. Anytime I reached out to staff they answered the phone and were accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Bates Farm was a great place to stay. I booked a site later in the afternoon and I had a response from Mary confirming the booking almost immediately. The hosts were super polite and very helpful. Bathrooms and shower were very clean and worked amazing. The archery range looked like it would be fun and I will have to return with my bow next time!

Beautiful place, everything is exactly as described. The road is a little noisy but I didn’t mind. Where else do you get a camper spot on the water, with private boat launch, dock, fire pit etc. For the information of future campers, there is a free rv dump station at the Interstate rest area 7 miles away. We stopped on the way out to flush the tanks.

I loved camping on the Bate's Farm. Wayne was a great host. The facility had a great balance of rustic nature and modern amenities. The land was peaceful and natural. Each site was private and included a fire pit, picnic table, and trash bin. Free showers, laundry, and a playground were also available.
