Cullman, AL · 1 site · Tent, RV

Welcome to CAMP 222, a private campground nestled on approximately 1 acre of land adjacent to Lewis Smith Lake in Cullman, AL. Experience the tranquility of lake life as you enjoy boating adventures accessed via our private boat ramp. Relax and bask in the sun on our floating sun deck, or unwind in the shade with a nap in one of our hammocks. As night falls, gather around our fire pit to share stories without the distractions of nearby campers. Our campground offers camper hook-ups for water and electricity, although sewer facilities are not available from April - November a portable toilet is on site. During the months of December - March, guests must either have a camper with a restroom or bring their own camp toilets. Conveniently situated just off Cullman County Road 222, our campsite is within a quarter mile of two gas stations, two independently owned stores offering short-order food options, and a Dollar General. While there may be some road noise from County Road 222, especially during daytime hours, it typically tapers off in the evening and nighttime. Enjoy stunning views of the 4th of July fireworks from Smith Lake Park, as our property provides a prime vantage point. Lewis Smith Lake, managed by Alabama Power, spans 21,000 acres and is the deepest lake in Alabama at 264 ft. The water level varies throughout the year, usually reaching full-pool from April to July before gradually decreasing for the autumn and winter seasons. Please note the rocky shore near the sun deck, which is why jumping or diving from the sun deck is prohibited. The nearby City of Cullman, located approximately 10 miles away, offers abundant shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Additionally, the city hosts numerous festivals throughout the year, including the Strawberry Festival in April, Octoberfest in October, and Christkindlmarkt in November & December.

This property has a limited number of spots available to rent per night until I can clear more. It’s heavily wooded, with gorgeous hardwoods to hike among and enjoy all the natural beauty. Pets are welcome on a leash, or you can set up a pen. Always practice fire safety. The lake is a lovely place to camp by. This site is completely primitive for a true outdoor, country feel — real laid-back vibes. No fighting or weapons allowed! This place is too gorgeous not to share. You’ll feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere — a “hidden gem” — yet it’s only a few miles from a store. No hunting or harming animals is allowed, but fishing is fine. This spot is for the true outdoorsman or outdoorswoman looking for a break from the news and the internet. There will be some phone service in certain areas. I’ll start posting pictures as I get them. I’m a mix between a country, tree-hugging, animal-loving hippie, and this is my place of freedom — God’s country 🫶🏻

3 nights at CAMP 222 (A Private Campground)

Rachael has taken extra steps to ensure her guest enjoy their stay at Camp 222. The shower and latrine are in excellent condition and the shower's hot water supply is a nice positive. The fire pit, night lights, hammocks, and swing all add to a relaxing and pleasing atmosphere with several spot to lay back and enjoy your stay. If you like to fish, I had the most luck going left upstream on the branch and fishing a little north of Cappie's Boat dock. I would highly recommend Camp 222 to future campers. One negative comment, the camp is just off a fairly busy road. You will hear traffic throughout the day and early evening. But, the positives far out weight this minor negative for me.

2 nights at CAMP 222 (A Private Campground)

It’s a beautiful place to be outdoors. We enjoy fishing from the dock, napping in the hammocks and sitting around the campfire in the evening.

1 night at CAMP 222 (A Private Campground)

What a quaint spot along the river! Everything you need: boat launch, floating dock, hot shower, fire pit, and space!!! Lots of it. I appreciated being greeted by the hosts father at the gate and given a brief tour. He made quick friends with my dog, and was proud to provide the history of his family’s land and the river. Town, with all the amenities you might need from a city, is 10 mins away. The camp is along a well traveled road, but gets very quiet at night for sleeping. You also have private residences across the river, but that did not impact my sense of privacy or safety. I would definitely return if in the area again.

Weekend Trip to Campingallstars

We had a wonderful time at Chris’ land. It was just remote enough for us. There was a little creek nearby, enough wood, and wonderful valleys to play in. There’s a trail to a bamboo stand. The kids loved playing around there. Definitely bring a car that can traverse backwoods. We spent Saturday at Cane Creek about thirty minutes away hiking and playing in the waterfalls. Chris was super nice and helpful.

Best bathroom I’ve ever been to in my life. Could not recommend the bathrooms more. Be sure to visit the bathrooms. It is so clean and so nice and heated.

2 nights at CAMP 222 (A Private Campground)

I really enjoyed tent camping on Rachel’s land ! Everything was clean and beautiful. The hot shower was fantastic and having electricity on demand was great also! Firewood was provided although… I didn’t get a chance to use it only because the winds were blowing so much, I didn’t want to be irresponsible. I read where people mention the road noise…I think the key is getting there early enough and after a little bit, you kind of don’t notice it. Now, if you got there right before or at nightfall, it might be an irritant for a little while but… it dies down dramatically. It felt extremely safe and private. Upon getting there, Rachel’s dad and husband, met me at the gate, unlocked it and showed me everything I needed to be shown. How to use the hot shower, which was easy, how to turn on the power and use the electricity box, which was also easy also. The box had a 50-30- and 4 standard outlets …so you were covered all the way around as far as being able to have electricity for your tent or RV or pop-up! Also, there was a water outlet with drinkable water and three additional outlets for water…Note… it was great having a light switch on the electrical box, which turned on the lights goingacross the camping area! Right before they left, I was given the key to the gate and told to call if I had any issues or questions whatsoever, so I could lock and unlock the gate anytime ! Great place and great people! I am already planning my next trip back! Thank you so so much Rachel ! 😊

4 nights at Sarana (peaceful refuge)

I absolutely loved our stay at Sarana. The hosts were so kind and generous, and they even let us stay in their RV when there was a thunderstorm one night. They have lots of equipment available, including a heater, fridge, fan, propane grill, and extension cables for use, as well as a fire pit. They have an extensive network of trails on the property, as well as lake access for swimming or hanging out. Sipsey wilderness and Bankhead National Forest are about 30-45 minutes away, so we had easy access to hiking and recreation activities when we weren't hanging out on the property. We loved our stay, and plan on coming back. If you are in the area and interested in meeting some of the loveliest hosts, you should definitely camp at Sarana!

What an amazing and peaceful place - very unique! Instructions for everything we used was very clear (lock box, shower, tiolet, electric, fan). Host was great at communicating and offering suggestions for what to do. 10/10 recommended for anyone wanting to unwind and reset

Weekend Trip to Rock Creek Retreat & Ventures

Our dome was great! My daughter and dog both loved the little hiking trail near the creek, and the setting was perfect. The view from our dome was beautiful, and we’re looking forward to visiting again in warmer weather to enjoy some creek play. Kara and John were kind and welcoming and they have clearly put thought and love into the whole place.

I loved this site, it was perfect for my first solo camping night, even know I left due to weather. It felt private but not secluded. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. I would love to give it another try if I am in the area again. The host was also very helpful and pleasant to communicate with.
