Best in Alabama: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

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.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
The campsite offers stunning views and a serene atmosphere that's perfect for those who enjoy a bit of solitude and nature's beauty. However, accessing the site can be quite challenging due to rough, narrow roads and deep ruts, making 4WD vehicles a necessity—especially after rain. Visitors have noted a lack of clear directions and signage, which can be problematic, and some have encountered uninvited guests due to the area not being well-secured. Despite these challenges, many campers appreciate the site's privacy and the rewarding experience of camping with such incredible views.

Property was great! The host's instructions were great to get there as well since it's a bit out of the way to get there. Definitely listen to the reviews though! Really tight to get there and would recommend 4WD pretyy heavily. We went up with two new Gen tacomas and made it there with little issue. Mine is 4WD and the other was 2WD. The 2WD tacoma made it through the ruts but some spots were slightly challenging to get through so just be cautious. The brush is really thick since we went on July 4th so the trucks got scratched up a lot so just keep that in mind if you decide to drive to the campsite. If you decide not to drive in the site is accessible by a 15 minute level ground hike in from the parking spots. Definitely an awesome view and a good campsite with lots of privacy. Plus since we went on 4th of July we were able to see some firework shows going on! Will definitely be back sometime!

Fun 4-wheeling up the mountain. Just listen to Sandra’s directions and you’ll be fine. When she says “Go right”, don’t go “left”. 🤦🏼‍♀️ but 4wd is a must. Sunset was worth it. I did put up a couple signs to make sure I didn’t have any uninvited guests. Found a little shade. Enjoyed my stay.

It was okay
Awesome spot but the trail up is a bit of a nightmare. Deep water and ruts. I made it through in a F-150 but didn’t end up staying because it was supposed to rain that night and I was worried the trail would become too much in the morning. If you were in a sedan you would have no chance getting to the site.
