Alabama suggestions

Henry Horton sp in tennessee about 50 miles south of nashville about 8 miles off of I 65 recently redone.
James Floyd sp in summerville ga or cloudland canyon in ga.
above parks are nice, only elec and water no sewer.
desota sp or wheeler sp in alabama cannot comment on these. if the al state parks are like the rest areas, they will be spotless, super clean.

Cloudland Canyon SP at Trenton, GA or Desoto SP at Fort Payne AL would be my picks in that area. Both are up on Lookout Mtn - Easy access...

try Point Mallard in Decatur Al. Joe Wheeler State Park in Rodgersville Al. Also A campground at The Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville but it only has 30 amp service. I suggest Point Mallard Campground. Not far off I-65 level and full hook-ups

Tannehill State Park near Birmingham gets good comments.

Wheeler and Desoto as others have suggested are really nice in AL. Cloudland Canyon in GA is also really nice. Cloudland and Desoto are a ways from the I-65 corridor.

Another nice park is HoneyComb Creek on lake Guntersville, and if you like to fish, it is one of the best bass lakes in the country. Really nice waterfront sites. Also Guntersville is a great little town with some good restaurants, and little shops.

There is also a state park in Guntersville, that is nice, but has very few trees, a major tornado hit it a few years ago and destroyed the campground. In December no trees might be nice, in July trees are your friend :)

North AL, is a great area, and hope you enjoy your trip. You never know about December in AL, it may be 80, or it could be 20, you just have to roll the dice.

About 5-6 years ago we traveled thru Alabama and stayed at this campground--very reasonable, family owned, clean and just a nice place to be---http://shadyacresmobile.com/. Near I 10 and Mobile. Lars

You might want to consider Foscue Creek COE , it has full hook up spots and some are along the river so you can watch the barge traffic.

We were there last May and we were impressed.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Desoto State Park or Cheaha State Park are both beautiful also check out Nocalula Falls in Gadsden, AL, this city park is one of our favorites. Birmingham area I would vote for Oak Mountain.

Desoto has many beautiful waterfalls. Could be a challenge to get to if we have a freak winter snow. Nice big modern sites with 50amp and full hookups.
Cheaha is the highest point in Alabama with amazing views. The campground is on the old side with smaller sites and rough roads in the campground. Full hookups. Since it is the highest point to the roads can get iced over quickly and it's a long mountainous drive from I20.
Nocalula Falls has a 90 foot waterfalls, black squirrels and other fun things to do. Full hookups with 50 amps and large right friendly. Again. Watch the weather as it also elevated and could have ice road conditions.

We like Joe Wheeler and CORINTH RECREATION AREA, AL near Double, Springs, AL.

Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions. We will look at each property mentioned then decide. It is just so nice to hear from people that have been to these places. Thanks again everyone. Tara
