This camp site has one of the most beautiful bluff views in all of northern Alabama. The mounds located on the bluff date back 10,000-12,000 years ago to the paleo Indian era. You can hike for days and climb up and down the bluff to experience the base of the rocks. Camp with the Indian spirits.  This 10,000-12,000 year old Indian site with mounds created by the Indians is one of the most beautiful sites in Northern Alabama.  Bring a tent or sleep under the stars on this memorable bluff.  Hike over the 162 acres and scale the bluff for an exciting hike along the base of the rocks where Indians also camped long ago.Camp with the Indian spirits.  This 10,000-12,000 year old Indian site with mounds created by the Indians is one of the most beautiful sites in Northern Alabama.  Bring a tent or sleep under the stars on this memorable bluff.  Hike over the 162 acres and scale the bluff for an exciting hike along the base of the rocks where Indians also camped long ago.

Secluded camping with a view.
Incredible spot! Lots of room for multiple tents if needed. Private with amazing views of the surrounding area. Highly recommend! We went after some heavy rains and 4x4 was most certainly required.

Beautiful view and very secluded. Road getting in was tricky but the owner was responsive and helpful. Be mindful of recent weather events.

Campsite has a great view and is a really unique setup. The trail to get to it though simply has to be improved. If you bring anything bigger than a jeep wrangler you will struggle. It is very narrow because of overgrown bush and trees. Massive ruts that need lots of clearance and mud tires.

Extremely disappointed.
My Husband & I were so excited to camp at this spot, had it on our list for a year, & booked it a couple of weeks out. A few days before our booking, we noticed the weather was looking risky for the dates we picked. Thankfully, we had paid for the weather coverage, so we could be refunded if the weather was really bad and noncampable. I reached out to the camp host & we decided it was not a good weekend because the weather & we were right! It ended up storming & we had tornado watches-- very glad we opted out of it. The camp host agreed to allow me to change the dates instead of refunding & booking again. However, I have since been ghosted after asking why there was a fee to change the dates, as I was unaware & would have preferred a refund. But now I have no refund or hope of camping in this beautiful spot. Really bummed.

First off, Sandra was unresponsive and altogether unhelpful despite the listing saying to message her for directions. Do not go to the PIN she provided. It’s not even close. The trip into the site is littered with thorns and tree limbs that will scratch your vehicle(everywhere). No maintenance whatsoever. I actually moved two trees that were across the path just to get in. There are HUGE mud holes that will bottom you out & there is no help to get you out. To avoid them you must be willing to take scratches all down your vehicle. I would only suggest going if you have a jeep or ATV. It is a beautiful site once you get there but this is most likely land passed down that is no longer maintenanced and rented out to make a buck. Pretty place but do not recommend. PS we got stuck and lucked out to find some guys willing to help . We did not get to the site until 8pm because of this & no refund or reduction was given despite the POOR maintained entrance & poor communication. Thanks.
