Cherokee Rock Village Campground

This is a long way in winding roads. The roads driving in her kind of trashed out with trash. There’s cool boulders here and if your climber I guess it would be good but they’re charging per vehicle and I don’t see how if I’m only getting one bar that anyone else is getting going to get more bars camp spots are tight. The drive-in is long off the highway if you’re just doing it for one night I don’t recommend it. Overall big disappointment

The good:
Absolutely views. Love all the cool rock formations and being able to hike all through it. If you rock climb this seems like the place to go. Dump station! potable water available onsite. Park staff is very helpful. Lots of places to *tent* camp.

The meh:
The facililities are good but not large enough. Only one lockable bathroom for each gender.

The bad:
If you have an RV, beware. While there are a lot of camping spots, there are only some that are RV-sized (and level ish), rather than tent sized. The worst part is I found a lot of tent campers using the RV camping spots while I was here. :(
Another negative is extremely poor trail markings. Some trails are obvious with how worn the area is, but some are not obvious - especially in fall with all the leaves covering the ground.

Overall I would definitely come back but maybe during the week to ensure I could find an RV spot that is kind of level.

Such a beautiful little, laid back, out of the way spot. Wish we had more time to linger, but we'll be back. No hook-ups and no reservations, but the views are incredible. The rock formations are beautiful to scramble over under around and through. There are restrooms and showers and a dump station. The staff couldn't be any more friendly. The park is unique in that it is basically self-run. All fees go directly toward maintaining the park. It is not "county" run, but it is owned outright by the county board of commissioners so funding doesn't come from the county itself but private donations and grants. They are currently trying to get a grant to add electric sites. Trust me it is a gem of a place. Well worth a stop if you are passing through. And if you are a rock climber, you will discover a little piece of heaven here in this little corner of northeastern Alabama.
