Honeycomb Campground

The Great Outdoors

If you rent an RV in Grant, Alabama, and happen to be quite an avid angler, then you’ve really hit the jackpot. You’ll be camping by Lake Guntersville, famous for its excellent bass fishing - it’s so good that there are various fishing tournaments throughout the year. Whether you want to bring out your competitive side or just enjoy fishing in your lonesome is up to you, and hopefully, there’ll be bass for dinner. If you want some more action, try to be around for the annual Hydrofest where the hydroplane racing is unlimited.Since you’re in the area, you might as well head to Lake Guntersville State Park and enjoy even more of the beautiful Alabama nature. Other than fishing and various beach activities, here you can hike on trails through natural woodlands while keeping an eye open for the most famous visitor: the bald eagle. You can also play a game of golf, check out the outdoor nature center, or even try out the zip-lines. Who knows, maybe you’ll like it so much that you decide to park your RV rental here for a night or two.If you want some more use out of your hiking boots, then just park your camper rental in Guntersville and start hiking the Cooley Cemetary Trail. Walk past some great fishing spots and two standing chimneys that once were part of old homesites, and when you’re back in town, you can hike the Cave Mountain Trail as well, where you can see a historic cave that was used during the Civil War. Another choice is to follow in the footsteps of the Native Americans who walked the Trail of Tears and then visit the Guntersville Museum to see the treasures that were left behind, such as pottery and arrowheads.
