We stayed here so that we could visit Talladega Speedway. We discovered how beautiful the park was especially Bald Rock trail. This trail is ADA accessible. Boardwalk all the way down to a very nice overlook. You can also get off the boardwalk and hike the trail too. The trail is only open during sun time (opens at sunrise and closes at sunset). Also there is a CCC observation tower worth checking out and other sites in the park.
The sites we had were 33 and 34. These were easy pull ins and were level. Campground was very quiet and dark at night. Bathrooms were clean as well as showers.
Look forward to staying here again.

No phone service in most areas. Be prepared for the 10 mile drive weaving through the mountain area to Cheaha State Park! Worth every mile! We booked the lower campground closet to the lake but about 5 miles from the main entrance and to the views you see online. The small store there is stocked but very expensive. If you plan to build a fire bring your own wood. The firewood they sell will cost $10.50 a bundle. Laundry will cost about $2.75 to wash and $2.50 to dry. The pool is at the main entrance next to the motel and has a great view. Be sure to Watch the sunset at the event center! Definitely would recommend and worth another trip!

I'm a bit behind in reviews... we stayed here mid-late March in 2024. The price is an average for a two nights. A bit more than I like to pay, but we did have FHU and a nice long pull-through. The road up to the park is very steep and has some turns. I was beginning to question my choice of campgrounds on the ride up as it was a bit brutal on our old Dodge Ram diesel. We had a nice check-in - the lady gave me lots of info on the park. Lots of trails & things to see! Our site had a giant area in front of our door - boulders with moss, trees with licens & loads of birds. Walking our dog around the campground and nearby roads was great. Easy access to the Bald Rock Trail as well as to the highest point,CCC museum and old CCC reservoir. So, know you will have to drive up a mountain, but it's worth it!

We enjoyed our 5 nights stay in this wonderful campground. The campground is located right on the top of the mountain. Therefore, very short hikes lead you to fantastic overlooks. The campground itself is very nice: full hook-up, pull-thru sites. Unfortunately, Our site (27B) wasn’t a great one. Our leaving space was facing the road, but there were many nice sites in the campground with more private fireplaces facing the woods. All sites were very spacious and private. Very nice campground! We liked it a lot, BUT make sure that you have a Starlink for the internet connection, because there was almost none cellular reception. We have a video about this campground on our YouTube channel – Summertime RV Rovers. It is called “RVing Through Georgia and Alabama – Part 2.

PROS
Site 27 - pull-thru gravel. Very nice moveable 6 ft metal picnic table; fire ring with cooking grate; pedestal BBQ grill
Campground very quiet Sunday-Tuesday nights
Frequent ranger drive thrus of the campground
T Mobile 3 bars
CONS
Upon arrival, power outage due to storm and lasted until dark. Check-in was not able to be completed so had to return the next day.
Paid a transaction fee for making my own on-line reservation along with a resort fee and sales tax
No senior or Veteran discount
Site 27 greatly unlevel side-to-side
Fire ring full of ash upon arrival
Street light at Site 28 that lights up all of 28 and most of 27 and 27A.
Extremely tight at checkin station. We had to park partially on AL281. There is a very small parking lot at the check-in station with no loop around
No trash receptacle in either men’s or woman’s toilets
Campground noisy Friday and Saturday nights. Lots of loud music.
Bathhouse not serviced over weekend
Large rocks throughout the campground had been painted (by children) an unsightly vivid paint
Don’t Miss
Climbing to the top of the CCC Bunker Observation Tower
Hiking out to Bald Rock
Berman Museum in Anniston
Watch—some pull-thru sites have the camper door facing the campground roadway with the picnic table and campfire ring along the campground roadway.

Arrived at around 8pm, registration staff were still around. Locked/coded gates for entry. Incredible hiking trails, very technical and hilly. Beautiful views. We stayed in the upper loop. I had hoped starlink would get me internet but it was pretty spotty, hard to get a clearing from trees. Verizon not great, but between starlink and Verizon with cell booster I was able to stream tv just fine. Had to resort to a skyroam for work internet though, it used T-Mobile which is great here. Full hookups at all sites I think. Not the most secluded sites ever but still very nice, not complaining. Quite a drive to get back to civilization, restaurants, groceries, etc... Staying here a week, late January 2023, looking forward to the peace and quiet.

Only a one night stay for us as we were passing through towards North Carolina. We were in the lower campground. Signage into there is not very good- we found it and ended up at a closed gate. Turns out you have to check in at the office located at the upper campground. Luckily no on was behind us and we could back out of that sticky situation- be aware if that if you're camping there.
We'd like to return. I think the upper campground may be a bit better, the sites are spread out a bit more.
