How to book campgrounds near Cleveland

Standard reservations can be made up to one year in advance, with a 13-month window for Alabama residents. Maximum stay is 14 nights, extended to 31 nights from November 1 through March 31 at select parks.

For holiday weekends and bouldering events, reserve well in advance.
What to expect on the ground
Roads into the mountain parks are winding, and Horse Pens 40 sits at about 1,500 feet on Chandler Mountain, so drivers of larger rigs should plan the approach carefully and avoid the steep GPS-recommended side of the mountain. RV hookups at Horse Pens 40 are limited and run 30-amp only with water, while Rickwood Caverns provides 30 and 50-amp electric with water hookups, a dump station, and modern restrooms. Showers at Rickwood are seasonal and closed from November through February.
Alabama State Parks campgrounds allow up to two leashed dogs per site, but Horse Pens 40 does not permit pets. Cell coverage can be spotty on the mountain and near the caverns. Greensport offers full hookups, lake access, and family amenities for travelers on the Coosa River.
