We have lived in Decatur for the last 40 years and been to the Park many times. It is very nice and you will not be disappointed.
Only issue you might have is Decatur traffic/road lay-out is very poor. Huntsville is 25 miles away, and over half the minutes in that trip are just getting out of Decatur. As you know, Madison is half-way between Huntsville and Decatur.
There is a short-cut from Point Mallard Park thru a residential neighborhood that will take you to Highway 67 just 3-4 miles from I-65 and a problem-free trip to Madison. Ask the campground host to show you how to get to 67 by way of Somerville Road. It isn't suitable for a big rig or big trailer, but with a tow vehicle it will be much faster than the route everyone has described to get in.
Presumably you will be coming by way of Chattanooga. You want to avoid Chatta between 3:30 and 6 PM on weekdays, and also avoid I565 between Huntsville and Decatur between 4 and 6. I've sat on both those interstates for longer than I care to remember
Drop me a PM if I can do anything for you while you are here.
