✨ The Perfect Six – Nature, Comfort, and a Touch of Magic ✨ Tucked away on six thoughtfully cared‑for acres, The Perfect Six is a place where nature and comfort meet. Our property borders a peaceful tributary that flows straight into the legendary Cahaba River—home to rare lilies, rich wildlife, and endless quiet moments. A short five‑minute stroll along a gentle trail takes you right to the river’s edge. On site, you’ll find a stocked pond perfect for casting a line at sunrise or simply watching the water ripple at dusk. In season, you can wander through our blueberry bushes and enjoy picking a handful of fresh berries right from the land. Evenings are made for gathering around our large communal fire pit—a centerpiece for stargazing, storytelling, and making s’mores under the Alabama night sky. We’ve carved out shaded campsites and a dedicated RV parking area with full hookups, so whether you’re in a tent or a rig, you’ll have a comfortable home base. Wake up to birdsong, explore our private walking paths, and experience a little Alabama magic—just minutes from the Cahaba but a world away from the noise.

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 Rock The South Music Festival.
