What others are saying about this campground
Desoto State Park, located in Fort Payne, Alabama, is a secluded campground and hiking haven that offers beautiful surroundings and fantastic hiking trails. The back in sites are well-spaced and provide a good amount of privacy. The park is an excellent place for families with children, offering a nice playground and an Olympic-sized pool. The Little River Canyon Wilderness Area is nearby, and its a great spot for off-road lovers. The sites are clean, but leveling can be a bit of an issue, so make sure you bring some blocks and chocks. The park is a bit pricey for some campers, but the full hookups are worth it. There arent many amenities available in the winter, but the hiking trails and beautiful views make the trip worthwhile.
