velojym said:Birmingham or Montgomery might be closer for some folks, especially from along the coast, while still being accessible to people from Tenn, AR, etc.
Of course, I guess one important factor is an affordable campsite, and I'm not terribly familiar with the sites in that area.
Im from the North part of the state and routinely test my vandwelling skills at either Lake Guntersville State Park (my fav) in Guntersville Al, Montesano State Park in Huntsville Al (more touristy things to do and the rocket city... The city that helped put man on the moon.. Home of tge Space Camp aand the Space and Rocket Center.... Ive also camped at Joe WheelerState Park, these are all closer to the TN state line. I havent camped there yet but there but Oak Mountain and Cheaha are on my list, possibly this weekend.... as far as National Forests, Cheaha is in the Talladega National Forest and here in the North we have Bankhead Forest, which I know has good camping sites for $5 night water access, potties, no electricity... Or cell service :-( but it has picnic tables and fire rings with each spot.
II'll put up some links and I'm interested in a SE Gtg so keep me posted. I voted HSV but I could also do the Tn sites as well. Chattanooga is a cool place as well. Keep me posted!
