St. Stephens Historical Park stands out as a unique destination due to its rich historical significance and diverse recreational opportunities. This remarkable site in Alabama was once home to a Spanish fort, an American fort, and served as the Alabama Territorial Capital.

Visitors can enjoy a 70-acre quarry lake that includes a sandy beach for swimming, as well as opportunities for fishing and boating. For those looking for a fun challenge, there is an 18-hole disc golf course, and bird watchers will find plenty of opportunities to observe local wildlife.
Accommodations at St. Stephens Historical Park are designed to cater to various preferences, with tent camping sites, more than 40 RV sites equipped with full hook-ups, and 9 cozy cabins available for rent. The park also provides a convenient boat launch for accessing both the Tombigbee River and the lake.

National forest 43mi from Buckatunna · 79 sites
Lush rolling terrain and wide slow creeks are trademarks of the De Soto National Forest. So are kickin’ it in a canoe with a brew while you float down the river, we suggest exploring both! The swamplands here offer ample opportunity for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing on the Black Creek National Scenic River. The primitive camping along the way is hot in the summer, but prime for misty morning photography and inky orange sunsets...worth it! Off-road the Rattlesnake Bay Trail or hike the Tuxachanie trail with your crew for a day of laughs deep in the pines. You can pretty much camp forever here too, so pack up a week or two worth of gear, and really dig deep into what Desoto has to offer.
