1 night at CAMP 222 (A Private Campground)

Awesome spot for a weekend on the lake. We extended our stay just to get in a little more fishing. Traffic noise can be loud at times but was worth it. 10/10 would stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Dark Hollow

The land is beautiful, bathrooms are clean, shower is lovely and Danny is warm, friendly, responsive and helpful. There is a bit of road noise if you’re sensitive like me. Overall, a great place to camp.

2 nights at CAMP 222 (A Private Campground)

July 2025. We very much enjoyed our stay at Camp 222. It’s perfect for any type of camping. The place is large, shady, clean and has everything you need. We will definitely keep this one on our favorites list.

Weekend Trip to Dark Hollow

There were plenty of great spots to choose from! The picnic tables were clean and sturdy, and the fire pits were surrounded by large rocks—perfect for setting hot skillets on. The view was absolutely beautiful! The restroom, water, and shower were all in good working order. One of my favorite parts was showering under the stars in the outdoor shower—it was such a unique experience. There’s a sturdy bench, large rocks to stand on, and a big two-by-four to hang your clothes, towel, and shower essentials on. Just a heads-up: if someone is staying at the top, the shower area isn’t completely private. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back!

1 night at Little River Adventure Company

Cool spot, easy to find nice amenities. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

The place was easily accessible and out of the way at the same time. Nice fire pit by the water, kayaks to use at the dock on fcfs basis. Highly recommend this place

1 night at Caney Hollow Creek Retreat

Amazingly peaceful and idyllic, steps away a babbling creek. Loved it. Have to say, the owner totally understands the assignment. He was attentive and communicated very well. We are relatively new RVers and got ourselves stuck in the mud. He spent an hour getting us out of the mud and gave us a few driving tips beside. Class act!! Don't pass this one up!!

Weekend Trip to Dark Hollow

Perfect spot! Easy to find. Super friends host. Accessible water and nice outdoor shower. Some of the spots had nice views and it was overall a wonderful experience.

Weekend Trip to Caney Hollow Creek Retreat

Our stay was so peaceful and beautiful (site #3.) We were the only ones there so our old terrier lived his best life bouncing through the meadow. The creek was gorgeous but our absolute favorite magical experience was the firefly (or lightening bug) show each night. Literally like Christmas lights—the fireflies lit up in the 40 ft tall trees all around us. Super dark skies which makes for excellent star gazing. Hosts were perfect—immediately accessible when we needed them but gave us privacy for a much needed break from the grind. We love to visit new places and don’t often plan on visiting the same place twice, but this will be the exception. Cannot wait to return!

Nice peaceful location, easy in and out. Georgio was very friendly and accommodating. The shower and toilet situation was a little more rustic than we were expecting but everything worked well.

4 nights at Strattonooga

Absolutely fantastic 4 day stay. The site was huge, private but close to town. The lake cove was quiet with an occasional boat or jet ski. The trees provided shade but don't block the view of beautiful Weiss Lake. We will return as it is almost too good to be true 😃

4 nights at CAMP 222 (A Private Campground)

We had the absolute best time at this camp. Everyone had a blast. It’s private, you can swim, you can shower, there is a toilet. Lots of room to roam around. Our kids and dog had a blast and so did we. Highly recommend.

7 nights at Caney Hollow Creek Retreat

What a great hidden gem!!! We had just a short 2.5 hour drive to get here, and we were so excited to see it when we pulled in. Quiet, and serene, but with full hookups. We were the only ones there, so our two dogs got to run and play, a lot! :-) The wife and I have been looking for a place like this for a long time, and I think we just found it. Lindsey was a great host. Very hospitable, and easy to talk to. We appreciated the clean and friendly environment that he has to offer here.

Weekend Trip to Little River Adventure Company

Camp sites are tucked away in a peaceful area with easy access to some of the best off-road trails I’ve hit in a while. We had a blast exploring the nearby backwoods trails. There are a waterfalls within minutes driving from the camp. The camp sites themselves were clean and spaced out enough for privacy. Fire pits, picnic tables and a clean restroom with a shower which made the whole experience comfortable but still felt rugged and real. Giorgio was super chill and plenty helpful

3 nights at CAMP 222 (A Private Campground)

The communication was so nice and the in person meet and greet was even better. Sweetest older gentleman met us gate and unlocked it and guided us in. Visited for a few minutes before letting us have at it. Everything was spotless and positioned just perfectly. We made use of the grill there. The fire ring. The outhouse and outdoor shower. Now i want an outdoor shower just like thiers! Everything impeccable 👌 ✨️ CANNOT WAIT TO VISIT AGAIN! SOOOOOON HOPEFULLY!

Glamping at its finest. The beds were extremely comfortable. The dome was roomy. Highly recommend that you stay a few nights at this wonderful site.

3 nights at Serene Lakefront Retreat

We planned a few days here for our anniversary. This resort is absolutely gorgeous! Manicured grounds and top notch facilities! Brittany was awesome and the other staff took pride in their work. It was obvious everyone loved working here! The general store was quaint and had all the necessities! We will absolutely be back often!

2 nights at Strattonooga

This is a beautiful location overlooking the lake under large shade trees. Perfect for those that want a break from the sun. There is plenty of sun to be had down on the docks if the weather cooperates. Easy to navigate as the site is set up as a pull through with two entrances. Hook ups were in great shape. I have no issue recommending this spot.

2 nights at Dark Hollow

He was very friendly and helpful and the property was great. There were many trails to explore the area and the scenery was awesome. The gorge was very beautiful and nice to get wet in. The sites were very private and nicely done. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to hike and camp.

2 nights at Strattonooga

Spot is lovely, private and a personal favorite. Will definitely return! Steep incline gives you a work out. Be prepared. Old folks and very young might have a problem getting back up.

Whippoorwill Woods Nature Retreat

4 sites · RVs, Tents100 acres · South Pittsburg, TN

Opening March 1 for the 2025 camping season! Three years ago our multi-generational family decided to go on an adventure. We had talked about moving to the woods for years, but finally decided to turn our dreams into reality. After hiking through what felt like every property for sale over 100 acres in North Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, we finally found the perfect spot. Why do we call our property Whippoorwill Woods? Did you know that whippoorwills don’t nest in trees? They lay their eggs on the ground in the forest. They’re birds that love camping! As soon as we heard the whippoorwills start singing in the spring, we knew it was the perfect name. We’re so excited to share our property with campers who love nature as much as we do. We specifically set up the campsites to give as much privacy as possible. We hope you’ll come visit and soak up the bird songs, the wind in the trees, and the beautiful sunsets over the mountains. We have 20 acres of savannah grassland full of native plants and wildflowers and over 80 untouched acres full of awesome rock formations and creeks with waterfalls available for you to hike. There's a stocked fish pond for catch and release fishing and a gorgeous view overlooking the Cumberland Plateau and the Sherwood Valley. Experienced and beginner campers are welcome! We live on one side of the property, so we’re available to assist (setting up tents for the first few times is no joke!) or we’re happy to give you as much space and solitude as you need. We have three campsites available in the native savannah grassland, and one that is a "hike-in and choose your favorite spot in the woods" site. We have a porta-potty available, but if you're hiking in, you'll want to bring some WAG bags with you. If you have any questions, or if there’s anything we can do to help, don’t hesitate to ask! We look forward to your visit! The Jansohn and Combs Families

About

Lake Guntersville State Park Campground has 295 campsites with water and electric hookups, bathhouses with laundry facilities, and a primitive camping area, all with beautiful lake views. At the lakeside campground, you can rent a cabin, go glamping in a luxury safari tent, or pitch your tent at the primitive camping area, while the Lake Guntersville State Park Lodge has rooms and chalets atop Taylor Mountain.

When to go

Lake Guntersville State Park is open daily from sunrise to sunset, and the campground and lodge stay open year-round. Alabama's scorching summers draw crowds to cool off at the lake and beach, but winter visitors are in for a treat, too, as Guntersville is one of the best places in Alabama to spot endangered bald eagles. Eagle Awareness Days are held throughout January and February to coincide with the winter nesting season.
