About
Cheaha State Park Campground occupies the summit of Alabama's highest point at 2,407 feet elevation, providing sweeping views of the Talladega National Forest. The Upper and Lower Improved Campgrounds offer 77 sites with full hookups including 20/30/50 amp electric, water, and sewer connections, plus bathhouse access. Four sites are ADA accessible. The primitive camping areas include the 26-site Upper Primitive Campground near Tower Road (Alabama's highest point) and the 28-site CCC Primitive Campground near the lake, both with fire rings and shared water spigots. Primitive campers should note that bathhouse and shower access is not included; shower passes are available at the Mountain Store for $5 per person.
