Weekend Trip to Turkey Hill RV Park

I don't usually select RV parks on Hipcamp but there were few options in the area and this one looked pretty good and I needed electric hookup due to the cold weather. This turned out to be a good spot. There was only one other camper there so I was very quiet. Clubhouse and bathrooms are a nice plus. The bathrooms were heated and spotless.

Chris’s land was very secluded but easily accessible. We really enjoyed our two night stay. Very close to Dismal Canyons and a few miles from town in case you need anything. I would suggest taking water for drinking/cleaning up. I would definitely recommend and I am planning another trip soon.

Very few RV Parks betweenTupelo and Birmingham so Matt's camp is a good location. And only a couple of miles off the interstate. Nice secluded, quiet, and shaded area. Clean bathhouse. We will stay there again if our travels take us that way.

There was a lot of highway noise, but we stopped there because it was near the highway route we were taking. So that was fine. Lots of trees. Clean bathroom/shower.

Weekend Trip to Campingallstars

Chris is an excellent host, great communication, friendly, and dedicated to making your stay enjoyable. We primitive camped on the side of a vally that was beautiful. It had a nice clean stream for water, a level area for our tent, a fire pit, and the mountain laurel was in bloom. We saw deer and there are even glow worms on the property, close to tent site two where we stayed. The trails and sites were marked well. A big thank you to Chris and his family for an enjoyable camp. God bless.

We had a great stay and the owner’s hospitality was great. The sight was big and easy to get in and out of. This campground was in an easy accessible place out in the countryside. The bath rooms and laundry room were clean and beautifully decorated very impressive

Stopped in for a night driving cross country in our 36’ class A. This was an awesome option! Super easy to find, clear instructions and communication from host, clean restrooms/showers. I would definitely recommend this place as a great option for a road trip stop! Heated bathrooms and long supply of hot water were a pleasant surprise during the winter :) Others mention the highway noise, and though you can definitely hear it (it’s so close, which was a huge plus for us), we did not find it distributive at all. Overall, this spot is cheaper and much more lovely than other right-off-the-highway spots! Go on and book it, I say!

Sprinter 170. Great spot with convenient access from exit. Thought we would hear the freeway noise but it was dead quiet. Wifi signal was pretty weak at our spot but we were located towards the end of the sites near the tent sites. Note: Could not get our Starlink to connect with internet because of obstructions (trees), but no internet is not a deal breaker for us. Would definitely stay again!
