Desoto state park in Alabama

My wife and I are in the process of planning out trips for next year. We are highly considering this park in mid October. What I would like to know is there anybody that has any pics of the campground showing the sites? We can't make our mind up between the pull thoughs or back in sites. We would like to know which one is a little more private between them. We like to have trees in between us and the next camper. Thanks for any replies.

  • No Pics but the pull-thu sites are lined up next to each other, some privacy but not much. The back-ins are very nice and lot's of privacy. Not sure how it is now but last time we were there you simply had a site type reserved and drove through to select the site.
  • Go with a back in site. They do not assign you a particular site, just find one you like and hang the sign on the post. The pull through have zero privacy. This is a awesome park that was renovated recently. I cannot remember the site we usually use but it across from the shared lot and backs to the woods. You'll love it there.

    One more thing. Its a pretty good haul up to the campground from the interstate around one mile of a good 7-8% grade from nearly dead stop. and one more from the campground office to the campground.

    Have fun and Happy Camping
