Don’t plan on resting at this or any tourers areas in Alabama. Alabama Rest Areas Rules: No overnight parking or camping.
They’re serious. So stop and potty and move on.
Campsites are gravel and NOT level. Be prepared to do some serious leveling. #40 2 sites down looked pretty level.
Lots of dumpsters that’s good unless it’s at your site, it was.
The shower houses are old and need some upgrading.
Quite a few water fill stations.
Stay away from the Clifty Inn for dining.
Campground is about 10 minutes from the North gate. All the stores you need (Walmart, Lowes, Kroger) are 4 miles east of the north gate. 10 minutes from the South Gate and a short drive to downtown Madison not a bad little downtown.
Hiking is great! Trail 7 is a lot of stairs. #8 is quite nice. #9 is easy. 1 is a little challenging.
Power seemed stable.
