Weekend Trip to Dark Hollow

My family and I had a great stay at this camp. We had the larger site at the top of the hill. It was clean, organized, and had nice amenities I don't normally have while tent camping. On site water, outhouse, and solar shower. The fire rings were great and everything was really well maintained. The hike down to see the creek was really pleasant. Highly recommend and definitely will be back!

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

Another magical stay at Parksland! We’ll definitely be back again (& again!) The bell tent was so cozy and comfortable! They have thought of everything! Highly recommend FF3 - we fell asleep to the sounds of the creek. And definitely don't miss the sauna on Saturdays at sundown for the ultimate unwind. Parksland is our favorite getaway and we are so grateful to Dusty sharing his slice of paradise with us!

1 night at Dark Hollow

The camp host was very friendly and helpful. The site was very nice and close to the shower and bathroom. There is a nice trail that I took down to the water. Overall a great experience.

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

Another wonderful stay at Parksland. A true gem where you can be free in nature. Dustin is such a gracious host. I’ll be back as soon as I can

Weekend Trip to Argo’s Park & Trails

Great space! Just what I needed for the night! Would stay again!

2 nights at Parksland Retreat

Beautiful spot owned by great people! We stayed at P3 and it was very quiet and peaceful, it’s definitely not meant for heavy camping, more for backpack/light camping. We will be returning!

1 night at Dark Hollow

Great place, excellent camping, toilets and amazing warm outdoor shower. Perfect Hipcamp for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Host was absolutely 10/10, highly recommend - Zed was super friendly and an absolute hoot of a human to chat with.

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

A lot of hill climbs but beautiful scenery. Pack light and this would be an awesome get away. My favorite part was the showers.

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

Our second time staying down at the creekbend campsite! We love parksland. The trails, the native plant communities, the welcoming vibes - such a great escape. The new sauna and shower domes are awesome.

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

My wife and I have been searching for a local campsite that meets our needs to reconnect with nature while not having to go too far in central Alabama. Parklands Retreat met and exceeded those expectations. The scenery is wonderful, as is the hiking around the campsite. The swimming hole was excellent, and so was the general vibe of the campsite. Social night on Friday and sauna on Saturday made a good weekend retreat GREAT as we could connect with likeminded individuals. We didn't get to do the waterfall, unfortunately, but that gives us an excellent reason to come back! Best of all was Dustin's hospitality that made us, and generally the entire park, welcomed to be there. The clothing optional portion was celebrated here fully. But if you don't feel the need to partake then the vibe is completely fine. We didn't feel uncomfortable in our birthday suit as mostly anyone else. Dustin certainly has made this place a great environment for all. We can't wait to come back later this year as we already have the next trip in mind in the fall.

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

Wonderful place in a beautiful, scenic location. Extremely well kept. Plenty of comfortable amenities: showers, sinks, etc. We had a bell tent site and it was very nice! Lounge areas, a sauna, swimming all available. Almost magical how you can go there and feel part of a community and yet completely away from it all at the same time. Would very highly recommend to anyone thinking about going!

Weekend Trip to Argo’s Park & Trails

Beautiful little getaway. I was nervous when the rain started but once I arrive and parked under the barn I was thrilled. Quiet and relaxing. My daughter and dog ran around for hours.

2 nights at Argo’s Park & Trails

Great place. Host was phenomenal! I will be returning. Thank you

2 nights at Serene Lakefront Retreat

Stephanie is very accommodating. We booked last minute for 2 nights and we were welcomed right away. The facilities are clean. It was really nice having a spot by the lake. Highly recommended.

1 night at Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp

So beautiful! Bath house was superb. Hiking and views were fantastic. Great service delivery to the site!

Weekend Trip to Dark Hollow

This place is so lovely, I could stay here forever. There are beautiful trails, a nice hot outdoor shower, a really cool privy in the woods on a platform.. talk about a throne! The dark skies allow you to see all the stars. You hear the tigers and lions at the wildlife preserve...you feel very much like you have stepped back in time. I enjoyed the privacy and views of The Ledge site. You can hear the water from there. I will come back here again soon. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece of nature with us. Danny my hope is that all your future guests value your space as much as I did, and I hope they will be good stewards of the special land you have.

Weekend Trip to Bug Tussle Creek Bend

Big Tussle Creek was a very fun experience for my family this Easter Weekend. Even our 4 year old had a blast on the creek walks and swimming. Definitely will be back!

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

I recently spent a weekend at this Hipcamp site, and it was a full house—every spot booked, which created a communal atmosphere. The highlight was gathering in the new, futuristic sauna, a perfect setting to unwind and connect with likeminded folks. Due to the popularity, I tried a new site this time, as my usual spots were taken. I pitched my tent on a well-constructed platform equipped with thoughtfully placed hooks, making it easy to secure my setup. The attention to detail here, especially by Dustin, who seems to anticipate campers’ needs, enhanced the experience. One thing to note: the nearby cabin overlooks this site. While it didn’t bother me—everyone I’ve met here has been friendly and respectful—it’s something to consider. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The combination of a welcoming community, smart site design, and relaxing amenities like the sauna makes this a spot I’d happily return to

Weekend Trip to Dark Hollow

We had an awesome time! Danny worked super hard on the trails & camping spots. It was quiet, beautiful, & very well maintained. 10/10 would recommend & we’ll 100% be back!

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat

Our hosts, Dustin and Emily are awesome! Dustin greeted us with a smile, upon arrival! Gave us a tour and explained the cool showers, sauna and composting toilet. We stayed in the Sunrise Cabin, C1. It was clean and really nice! I cooked dinner in the cast iron and built a nice fire. We thoroughly enjoyed playing in the crystal clear stream down the hill, in the buff! What a fantastic feeling of freedom and peace! Beautiful, lush, green forest full of birds! We had a great time! Made lifelong memories and departed with grins on our faces, rejuvenated and looking forward to our next visit!
