Weekend Trip to The Sacred Land of Darsana Wellness
Amazing experience!! Everything on site is newly built, and the host Daniel was absolutely incredible. When I first arrived, he asked for me to give any feedback on what could be done better, and honestly, he hit it out of the park, everything was perfect. I stayed in the Ashram, a cozy space that still allows you to hear the ambience of the woods while you sleep in comfort. It is very evident Daniel has poured his soul and sweat into this and that reflects in the experience. The Ashram was well stocked with a litany of general supplies and a mini fridge. There’s a couple amazing restaurants 1/2 mile away and a dollar general for shopping needs. Even after a crazy weekend at Talladega I still feel unwound from my time out in the forest. I highly recommend giving them a shot, you won’t regret it

I had the best time camping at The Land! Daniel was an incredible host, made sure I had everything I needed, and even had the campfire built and ready for me. It was great to get away from the city and sleep out in Nature. My mind, body, and spirit needed this so bad. I recommend this place to anyone who needs to disconnect from the grind and reconnect to the Earth. I will be back here again in the next several weeks!

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat
Great stay! Everyone is quite laid back, the property is well tended and neat. Be aware that walking to most campsites/bell tents or the cabin requires a good deal of downhill travel and uphill travel to get back to the center of camp and parking area. I would estimate the equivalent of 3 to 5 flights of stairs is common to most of the individual camp sites with the exception of Hill Top. There is an accessible cabin under construction.
If you like a laid back atmosphere where you can take time away from your devices, this is a great place to do it.

1 night at Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp
Loved staying here, and will definitely have to go again sometime to really explore the whole property. We were only there for the night on our way home from a long road trip. Leigh was very communicative and greeted us and showed us around when we arrived. She was very friendly and helpful!
The campsites were in the mountains, tucked into a quiet forest without light pollution, so you could really see the stars. The A-frames are comfy and cozy, and have decks with seating, fire pits, and coffee machines. The bed was so comfortable! Plenty of places to plug in your electrics. The property was extremely well-kept on terms of cleanliness. The bathrooms are close by and also very clean and well stocked. Such a beautiful way to end our adventure!
The path up the mountain is pretty steep and rocky, so wouldn't recommend taking a low-sitting vehicle. Some of the A-frames have steps and rocks to hike over, but there are other accessible options on the property as well.

Very friendly, rustic and quaint. We slet in the cabin and it felt like sleeping in a treehouse. Trails were not that hard of a hike. The river was worth the small trek! Showers were nice and the composting toliet was surprisingly very clean. Clothing optional was easier than we thought and we didn't want to leave. Pro tip: bring a portable battery operated fan during the summer months.

I have stayed in FF3 several times, and always it is my favorite place to camp! Its proximity to the stream and the privacy the site offers is ideal! I love the deck and the fire pit!
Dustin thoughtfully provides a small battery powered fan, two towels, and a fun tour of the gardens and greenhouse.
10/10 time all the way around!

Weekend Trip to Parksland Retreat
My husband and I are busy and exhausted and on top of that, we have been through some major life changes. This has led to a rough patch in our relationship. The only choice we had the weekend we went was to cancel all plans and just exist in nature. We didn’t have time or patience to work for it either. I didn’t want to set up a tent and I didn’t want to be in a house or a hotel. The sunrise cabin at Parksland was exactly what I personally needed. We got to be completely free with our bodies and minds. Which led to freedom of conversation between us. The windows and glass doors allow you to zone out and watch the birds fly and the trees sway. It is particularly charming in the rain. I am so grateful that I live so close to heaven. The sauna and swimming hole are added benefits. Cherries on top. If you need SERENITY this is your place but don’t mistake that word for boring. I had the most mind opening experience here!
Want to add, I have tent camped here as well and no matter how you do it, just do it.

Group trip
We loved glamping at OMSP. Sarah’s tent was great and she was a very responsive host. The second night we lost power because a tree downed a power line. Some of our group said they prefer primitive camping so they were loving the power outage. We did the hike to the Peavine Falls. We skipped the 6 mile trails before and drove straight to the parking lot at the end of Terrace and you can take the blue or white trail. When you see two benches, follow that trail to the falls. There is so much to do. We look forward to going again.

Outstanding! Dustin has built such a lovely place here at Parksland. The cabin was exactly as advertised, if not better. We had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We hiked the trails, enjoyed the Friday night meal, toasted in the sauna on Saturday night, and stayed up chatting with several other folks in the lounge area by a roasting fire while it drizzled on the metal roof. Most visitors during our stay participated in the clothing optional invitation (in case you were curious). We met some people who had visited before, but the majority who were there during our time were newcomers like us. If you have the opportunity to visit - go! You won’t regret it. It’s serene and warm and inviting in every wonderful way possible.

Staff is great! Highly recommended area A over area B, but you're still going to experience little privacy between sites. The park, in general, has a lot of activities to enjoy, but is a bit run down. It is, however, close to Birmingham and can make a good base for exploring the city and the park.

This is the largest state park in Al. Has tons of things to do. Miles of great paved roads. Giant raptor bird rescue Sanctuary.. Incredible beaches..kayak & canoe rentals..nature center...golf course with nice restaurant..miles to ride a bike ( entrance is 5 miles from campground)..horse stables..archery.petting zoo.. And one of the few places in US that has special lake that can pull you with a cable on a paddle board. Be sure to visit The American Village near it (look it up) well worth it.
