Campgrounds near Double Springs, Alabama
Double Springs sits in Winston County in northwest Alabama, surrounded by the William B. Bankhead National Forest and within a short drive of Lewis Smith Lake. The town is the county seat and hosts the Bankhead Ranger District office on Highway 33, which serves as the main information point for forest camping, trail conditions, and waterfall directions.
RV travelers have a mix of federal and private options within roughly an hour of town. Hidden Cove RV Resort and Arrowhead RV Resort at Smith Lake put visitors on the Smith Lake shoreline for boating and fishing access. Cullman Campground and Quail Creek RV Resort sit farther east near I-65, which makes them useful staging points for larger rigs traveling between Birmingham and Huntsville.
For forest-based camping, Clear Creek and Corinth Recreation Areas inside Bankhead are the main developed RV options on Lewis Smith Lake. Northwest of town, Williams Hollow - Bear Creek offers lakeside sites on Little Bear Creek Reservoir, part of the four-lake system managed by the Bear Creek Development Authority.
Things to do near Double Springs
Lewis Smith Lake is the primary draw. It covers roughly 21,200 acres with more than 500 miles of shoreline and is known for largemouth bass, striped bass, spotted bass, and crappie fishing. Boat ramps, swimming beaches, and day-use areas are spread around Clear Creek, Corinth, and Houston Recreation Areas.
Inside Bankhead National Forest, hikers reach Caney Creek Falls, Kinlock Falls, and the Sipsey Wilderness on foot. The Sipsey Fork is Alabama's only Wild and Scenic River, and the Sipsey Wilderness is the largest federally designated wilderness in the state.
On the water, paddlers use the Bear Creek Floatway, a roughly 30-mile canoe stream between Upper Bear and Big Bear Reservoirs fed by scheduled releases. Owl Creek Horse Camp anchors about 26 miles of equestrian trail for riders traveling with stock.

The developed Forest Service campgrounds in Bankhead, including Clear Creek, Corinth, Houston, and Brushy Lake, operate on a seasonal schedule that generally runs from early March through the end of October. Outside that window, dispersed camping is still permitted in parts of the forest, but full-hookup sites and bathhouses are typically closed.
Spring brings wildflowers, waterfall flow, and comfortable hiking temperatures, but it is also a wet stretch of the year and severe thunderstorms are common in March and April. Summer is hot and humid with highs frequently near ninety degrees, and it is peak season for Smith Lake boating, swimming, and holiday weekends at area lake parks.
Fall is the most settled season for RV travel: cooler nights, lower humidity, hardwood color in the Sipsey drainages, and lighter reservation pressure once schools resume. Winters are short but wet, with occasional freezing nights and periodic heavy rain.
How to book campgrounds near Double Springs
Sites at Clear Creek, Corinth, Houston, and Brushy Lake Recreation Areas inside Bankhead National Forest are reservation-only during the operating season and must be booked through Recreation.gov. Most Recreation.gov campgrounds use a six-month rolling booking window, and lakeside loops at Clear Creek can fill quickly for summer weekends and holidays.
Private parks on the top-campgrounds list, including Hidden Cove RV Resort, Arrowhead RV Resort at Smith Lake, Cullman Campground, and Quail Creek RV Resort, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone rather than through a federal portal.
Bear Creek Lakes campgrounds, including Williams Hollow - Bear Creek, are managed by the Bear Creek Development Authority and operate from mid-March through mid-October, with bookings handled through the authority.
What to expect at Double Springs area campgrounds
Bankhead campgrounds on Lewis Smith Lake are modern for federal sites: paved loops, level pads, water and 30/50-amp electric, fire rings, picnic tables, bathhouses with flush toilets and showers, and a central dump station. Clear Creek has four paved loops with 102 RV sites including pull-throughs, but there are no in-loop dumpsters, so campers pack trash out to bins by the dump station. Corinth adds full sewer hookups at its 52 sites.
Private resorts on and near Smith Lake typically add full sewer hookups, laundry, and Wi-Fi that federal sites do not offer. Cell coverage is inconsistent inside the national forest, and the ranger district office in Double Springs is a useful stop for printed maps and current trailhead directions.
Expect ticks and chiggers in warm months and narrow, curving forest roads that reward slow driving with larger rigs.
