Nestled in rural Clay County, Alabama, Hidden Branch Campground offers a serene retreat for nature lovers and outdoor adventurers seeking to escape the urban hustle. This tranquil getaway features five spacious RV lots with 20/30/50 amp hookups and water, along with four tent/primitive sites for a more traditional camping experience.
The campground combines rustic charm with modern amenities. An outdoor kitchen provides a convenient space for preparing meals, while a half-mile hiking trail invites guests to explore the natural beauty of the grounds. Safety is a top priority, with a locking gate at the entrance and non-monitored security cameras placed throughout the property to ensure peace of mind.
Guests can enjoy a small, tranquil pond, perfect for fishing, wildlife watching, or simply relaxing by the water. Two RV sites even boast picturesque pond views. To enhance convenience, the campground offers an on-site dump tank, a shower, and an outhouse.
For those who need to stay connected, WiFi is available, balancing the charm of rural camping with modern connectivity. The campground also emphasizes environmental stewardship, providing garbage receptacles to maintain a clean, eco-friendly space.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, a base for exploring Clay County’s natural wonders, or a place to unwind and recharge, Hidden Branch Campground offers the perfect escape into Alabama’s scenic beauty.
It’s clean. I was the only one there other than the other 3 RV’s that are left there for however long.
The shower worked as it should once I figured out that the hose to the water filter had been disconnected. I hooked that up, followed the instructions inside the shower and it was pretty easy.
I ignored the Trump and religious signs. This review has nothing to do with those.
The sites are pretty good, except I wouldn’t recommend site 1. You’ll be within 5 feet of your neighbor with nothing in between. The host was more than happy to let me move to a different site which I did. The campground is gated. I thought that was a nice touch and was ready to recommend this to anyone wanting to feel more secure while camping.
Now the rub. The host has some high tech cameras set up to watch your every move. Look above the showers on the pole. I found this to be creepy. I said something to the host and his reply was, “because I’ve had things stolen. Not from the campers, from neighbors”. I don’t buy it.
As I said, it’s gated. Unless some neighbor is crawling through the thick forest and carting out only what they could drag back though the forest, the reason for the cameras does hold water.
Sleeping in a tent and think you’ll pee outside?
He’s watching. Cooking? Being watched.
Picking your nose? It’s all caught on camera and I felt uncomfortable the whole time. I closed my blinds.
The WiFi worked great. After the cameras, I didn’t trust that either.
this is a great hidden gem campground. gated so you feel very secure. very clean, level sites with water, electric and wifi. secluded in nature, very quite., picnic tables, fire rings., outdoor kitchen, pond, hiking trails and even books to read! would highly recommend this campground.
Caleb was an excellent host and his property made for a great get away. If you’re looking for a beautiful, remote place to station your RV or prop up a tent this is the place for you. I’ll definitely be back for another weekend trip.
