A large State Park site with pull-through sites, water, electric and sewer: for $20 a night? Thats great! Beautiful view from the pool, but the water was really cold. Good view for a satellite dish at the site and wireless internet behind the office. Rangers at office were great and there are many things to see in the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Cheaha is a very nice state park located in a very wooded rural setting. There is an upper and lower campground, which most sites are shaded. The bath houses were in decent condition. They were mostly clean, but were only cleaned once on our three day stay. We stayed in the upper campground and our site was shaded all day long. There were a few sites that looked like they would be sunny most of the day. The lake at Cheaha is wonderful for swimming. There is a platform out in the water with a 1 foot and about 7 foot jumping/diving place. There is some sand at the beach and changing areas/restrooms. The changing areas are in desperate need of updating. My family said the men's side was not nice at all. The women's side was okay, but not nice. The trails at Cheaha were not very well marked at all. We just had to hope we were on the right trail at certain times. Although we did not swim in it, there is a very nice pool right on the bluff. If the trails and changing areas were nicer, I would have given the park a 9. If the bathrooms were cleaned a little more often, it would be a 10. With a little sprucing up, Cheaha could be one of the nicest state parks in the South. We camped here in a Tent.

We camped here in a hybrid travel trailer. The park itself is breathtaking. I did not give it a 9 or 10 since the site was not level. The hiking and trails were excellent. It is very rocky. It is a little nerve-racking driving up to the park with the winding road, but completely doable if one takes his time. The upper campground was as expected for a state park...rustic and sites not too close for us. Bathhouses were clean. We had really bad weather, and the weather notification system (outdoor sirens and announcements) were a plus. The amenities could use a facelift: the playground was really not useable for my children as it had a stream running through it (a lot of rain lately); bad planning. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here for our first trip of the year on March 20th weekend. This was a wonderfull trip. We were able to camp with friends next door and hiked several of the trails available. A few sites are really too close. We were on site 39, and it has a site across the road. The campers awning was out and I had to back in my site from reverse angle. If I had not had a 5th wheel, I could not have backed in. That needs to be fixed, but all in all a great park, and a really great state park to visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The restrooms were the worst I have seen. The campground attendant was nice and the bicycle riding was okay. The view was beautiful from the lookout points. The hiking was very nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our second visit ...this time we were told they do not give any discount for a Natl Parks Golden Access Passport. Two years ago they gave me a 15% discount... Very nice state park with some big pull-through sites ...no problem at all getting our 40' motorhome and toad up the steep climb with many switchbacks. Some sites are not level, but most are workable for large motorhomes. In spite or rumors of park "improvements" in the works, we saw no evidence of recent or pending work. Price is a bit more than we normally pay for ...option for electric only hookup for weekend stays would be nice. We came here for a group event, and would return again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park, though very steep access. The view from the restaurant and pool is spectacular. Restaurant buffet is worth a visit. Great hiking available outside the park to Cheaha Falls. Ask at park for directions, as it is not far. Most hikes in the park were too steep for us. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate is with senior discount. Older state park on top of mountain. Very nice, friendly rangers and workers. Campsites are rustic but plenty large enough; with fire pits made from rocks, grills and picnic tables. Two camping areas, one on top of mountain, other one across from the lake swimming area. Also there is an overflow area. Good water, electric and sewer. Lots of hiking trails, one with a boardwalk for the handicapped. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is our second time camping here. We really like this park. Wonderful hiking and the views are fantastic. I just wish they would renovate the campground. Many of the sites are not close to being level and the bathrooms need to be remodeled. The cleaning person only moped the floor with a pine cleaner and replaced the toilet paper and paper towels when we were there. The showers had plenty of hot water and the staff could not have been friendlier. It appears that they may be renovating the campground as they have stacked the "railroad ties" just outside of the upper campground. If that does happen, this would be a ten! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

If you like hiking and seclusion, this is the place for you. We enjoyed our cabin and the fresh air. We would return. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

There was a long haul up the mountain for rvers on their first trip, but the view at the top was breath taking. Don't know that we will take our 37 foot 5th wheel up again but it was well worth a one time trip. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What a gem! Nice park in the tallest point in AL. The only complaint we had was; never having toilet paper in the restroom. Not a problem, we always have some spare. Great scenery, observation tower was a plus. Will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice, especially for a state park! There are two camping areas, one on the mountain top and one at the lake about 1,000 feet lower. We stayed on the mountain top with our grandson's Cub Scout group. The utility pedestal on our site looked brand new, with fresh concrete. We also heard from a neighboring camper that the park will begin other improvements soon. The only part of the visit that made us nervous was the last 15 miles of winding narrow state highway getting there from the south with our 40' motorhome towing our car! They even gave me a 15% discount with my Golden Access Passport! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the first time camping here and we enjoyed it. The sites are comfortable sized for the most part, some are small.The park is very quiet and patrolled. There is a few things to do ,like going to bald rock,the pool which is clean and nice. There is a lake about a mile below the restaurant and camping area with paddle boats and fishing.The cg could use a little updating in the playground and a few sites were not extremely level. Take something to set your sewage hose off the ground, some of the pipes are 6-8" off the ground. We saw 3 deer going into the park and people up a few sites had deer almost in their site.We camped here with several friends from church, and had a good time. We will be back to this cg.Be warned, it is a hard pull up the mnt.Lots of curves and hills.I think you go up @2000ft from the time you pull off the main highway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We loved the scenic views at Mt. Cheaha. The scenic overlooks on the way up were worth the trip alone. Mt. Cheaha is such a wonderful place, but the campground fails to live up to the setting. Most of the sites have washed out places in them and leveling a RV can be a nightmare. We tried 3 different sites before we found one that we could almost level on. As we walked around the park, we noticed motorhomes with automatic levelers being supplemented with blocks so that they would level. The bathrooms were in sad shape and in desperate need of updating. We were thankful that we were able to use our bathroom in our rig. The trails are well marked and we enjoyed the hike to Pulpit Rock. I just wish that some effort would be put forth in upgrading the campground. I wish we had read the comment about bringing something to raise our sewer hose! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice and quiet. Fantastic cabins if you want to surprise someone. They are great for Valentines Day. Highest spot in Alabama. Great views...even if storms are heading your way, is fun to watch as they come from the southwest mostly. View from restaurant is good. Sunset while dinning is a plus. Lots of room between sites. Bobcats, coons, skunks, deer, hawks, etc. Popular ride for motorcycles on weekends. They don't come into campground much. Good trails to viewing spots. Large rock tower to climb up inside. Can watch in any weather. Long way from any stores. They have Chalets too, for large families. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Cheaha has a lot to offer. My kids enjoyed the hiking and bike riding. The campground was very open. I do not like being able to see everyone so well. I usually like a little more "green space" between myself and the other campers. The bathrooms are old but as clean as they could possibly be, I guess. I still preferred the bathroom in my camper. The campsite needs a little up-dating. The best part was the handicap accessible trail going to Bald Rock. It was nice for my parents to be able to walk on that rather than hike through the woods. The only drawback to camping here the time it takes to travel up to the top of the mountain. Better have everything you need before you go! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a beautiful campsite. The ride up to the highest point in Alabama was awesome a litte over 2 thousand feet; the sites were level for the most part, plenty of room between campsites. A few minor negative details were the low water pressure and the height of the sewer caps. Make sure you bring along some way of lifting your sewer hose about a 10 inches off the deck. All in all a wonderful park. We'll be back for sure. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We enjoyed this park very much and would have liked to stay longer. There seems to lots to do and see and you do get that 'camping' experience. The bathrooms were spotless and warm as could be. The showers had plenty of hot water for a tired traveler. Only thing we think might be a problem was the curvy, narrow road to the Park. The price was great with friendly staff We camped here in a Motorhome.

My first time camping with my new-old popup camper I'm restoring (a 1975 Palomino). The sites weren't all THAT level, but nothing major. I camped in the middle of January at a Geocaching event and the wind did NOT stop blowing! The campstore is nicely stocked, the rangers are VERY nice. I'd recommend this campground to anyone. The only thing, one of the bath houses (the handicapped one) was closed and there wasn't any notification except on the doors of the house itself. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Our first time at Cheaha and definitely not our last! The campground is in need of repairs, as most Alabama State Parks are, but we enjoyed our stay here. We stayed at the upper campground and some sites have erosion problems. At the time of our stay, one of the 2 bath houses had a water problem and was closed. The other was clean, but in need of some cosmetic repairs. The camp store was well stocked and the staff was very helpful and friendly. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We loved the hiking trails and the magnificent view from the top of the mountain. Our kids found some "caves" in the rocks at the end of the Doug Ghee Accessable Trail and had a great time exploring the area. Lots of camping areas to be had. You can camp on top of the mountain-primitive, or the upper campground where we camped. Or, the lower campground that had FEMA trailers for Katrina victims. We would reccomend this park and plan to visit again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Although the camp sites are gravel and dirt, the scenery here is spectacular. We went in the late fall and the leaves were a variety of colors. The sites are well spaced, and pretty private. It did take some work to get the trailer perfectly level as some of the sites have minor erosion problems. There are several recreational activities, including the highest point in Alabama, which is not far from the campground. Note that some of the entrance roads are pretty steep, certainly steeper than usual. Still, it's fun putting the tow vehicle to work. We will cetainly consider this campground again in future trip plans. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a nice quiet park if you are looking to kick back and relax. This park covers 2700 acres and contains many hiking trails which lead to some beautiful scenic views. It has a wonderful handicap accessible wooden board walk along a forest trail to the most beautiful view - bald rock. There is a small chapel within walking distance of the upper campground which has regular services on sundays and can be used for special events. The lower campground is located near the park lake which has large picknik pavilions, playground, swimming, and paddle boats. A resturant is located at the campground entrance and has excellent food which is reasonably priced. There is also a swimming pool and playground located near the campground entrance. There is a small convience store (this is also where you check in) at the campground entrance with limited camping supllies and groceries. It is a beautiful place to visit in the fall when the leaves began to change. The park is currently undergoing a renovation, but is still a great family oriented place to visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
