We really enjoyed our stay. This place was so quiet we wondered if we had lost our hearing at times! Everything was nicely maintained and convenient. Tent campers may wish to bring a water filter as the water tastes a little funky. Such a lovely piece of property- hiked the trail several times. This was our first visit but not our last!

Great place to camp. We will be back. This property is dedicated exclusively to camping both tent and RV. You are not staying at someone's house like other HipCamps. The owners were very nice and were on grounds conducting improvements. When messaged directly through the App, I received prompt responses. This property is close to the Talladega National Forest and loads of jeeping trails we enjoyed. Relaxing in the peaceful beauty in camp was nice also.

I stumbled across Hidden Branch during a Hoogke search and I am so glad that I did! I had never heard of or used Hicamp before, but it made reserving a site super simple. This place is truly a hidden gem. The property is so peaceful and clean and offers you an opportunity to relax and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of life. The site itself was great. Plenty of space and a great view of the pond down below. The hiking trail offered great views and lots of wildlife. The campground offers a shower and bathroom as well as a community camp kitchen with everything you need to create a delicious meal. Wi-fi is also available if needed. I only stayed one night, but definitely look forward to coming back in the future! Thanks Caleb for taking care of the property and allowing folks to use it to truly relax and unwind!

We loved being so far away from town! The peace and quiet was what we needed for the holidays! Caleb is super easy to chat with and he replies almost instantly. Definitely backwoods and not for everyone but perfect for us! Pit toilet amd away from cell phone service. He does have wifi which is nice too! The pond was great to fish. We enjoyed many campfires under the stars. Thanks for the great stay! I would highly recommend if you need to get away from the world and get in touch with nature!

Get yourself a dose of reality and relaxation. I’m never felt so connected to the earth and people like I did this weekend. To anyone looking to find new friends or just be amongst some really good vibes, take a trip to Parksland.

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat
Dustin's land is absolutely beautiful. We camped at FF3 hollow (yurt), it was well secluded and has a waterfront. This was an amazing experience! Only downfall I would warn future guests is, there is a hike down to the camp sites. As someone not in shape, it took my breath away each time we had to hike back up to the parking area. We will most definitely return but we will not be camping at the bottom of the hill next time.

We enjoyed our thanksgiving stay. The location was perfect for day trips, close to a couple of different grocery options and local eateries. The hosts are helpful and responsive.

This was a great tent site and it is very close to lots of hiking areas in Talladega National Forest. The campsite was as advertised and we were happy with the site. The bathrooms and showers are really cool too.

I've been meaning to do this all week but life gets busy. We had a great time at Hidden Branch. It's a nice clean campground with plenty of space along with a nice outdoor kitchen, shower house and outhouse. Also nice and secluded so he don't get a lot of city lights with some beautiful views of the stars in the sky. I would definitely recommend spending some time here.

Overview
About
Discover the beauty of the highest point in Alabama on an island in the sky! Cheaha Resort State Park, which is located on the southernmost tip of the Appalachian Mountain chain, is the oldest park in Alabama (est. 1933) and is considered by many to be one of the most unique parks in the nation. Imagine 2,799 acres of granite boulders and wind-warped ancient trees at 2,407 feet above sea level, often above the clouds, and surrounded by 392,567 acres of the Talladega National Forest including 7,245 acres of Cheaha Wilderness. Cheaha State Park seems to be far removed from civilization; however, this park is only 30 minutes away from several historic downtowns (Oxford, Heflin, Anniston, Talladega, Lineville, Munford, and Ashland) which are packed with shopping, dining, cultural arts, and recreational opportunities. Three main routes lead to Cheaha State Park. The park recommends traveling on the Talladega Scenic Drive (Alabama Highway 281), which is well-maintained, wide, and easily driven by large recreational vehicles. AL Hwy 49 is also a great route connecting with AL Hwy 281. The scenic “road less traveled” is Cheaha Road (County Road 42) from Munford, AL, which winds its way through the Talladega National Forest with curves, roadside brambles, and uneven asphalt. Cheaha Road is a picturesque route through the forest; however, since it is not a refined road, the park does not recommend it for large recreational vehicles.
