I have camped at both parks and like them both. If I had to choose between the two of them, I would pick Desoto. Keep in mind if full hook ups is what you require, Cloudland Canyon is only water and electric, Desoto has full hook ups and a very nice bath house. They also have cable if your into that. The park itself has numerous trails and with a 5-10 minute drive down the road, you have access to Little River Canyon with lots of swimming holes. Check out the hippy hole (its on google maps) if your going in the hot months. Additionally, the town of Mentone is only a 5-10 minute drive from the Desoto Campground where you will find the Wild Flower Cafe. It is always rated as 1 of the top 10 places to eat in AL. As far as the drive in, you will have no problems. Hope this helps
