Getting Outdoors

Huntsville State Park offers outdoor activities for adrenaline junkies and nature lovers alike. Hikers can choose a route from more than 20 miles of winding trails. The park's nature center and playgrounds also make excellent activities for the kids in your camping crew.

Any fishing aficionado will be happy to know that the park provides a number of fish cleaning stations, fishing piers, and a boat ramp. Keep in mind that, although motorboats are allowed, you can only travel at idle speeds. If you don't have your own watercraft, you can also rent a paddle boat, a kayak, or a canoe.

Last, but certainly not least, Huntsville State Park is home to no less than 250 species of birds, so birdwatching enthusiasts will be spoiled for choice here. Visit during spring and summer to observe the species which migrate through the park on their journey north for the winter. To get the best views of the birds, make sure to check out the bird blind, which overlooks a small opening in the forest and an outlet of the lake.

Camping at Huntsville State Park

RV camping at Huntsville State Park offers three options for visitors. All sites require a minimum stay of two nights during weekends and operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Even though making a reservation isn't necessary, it's always a good idea to book your site ahead of time where possible.

The first Huntsville State Park camping option includes full-hookup campsites with 20, 30, or 50-amp electric service. The maximum length of these sites varies between 20 feet and 60 feet. Campsite amenities include restrooms and showers, fire rings, and a picnic table.

Aside from the full-hookup sites, there are also dozens of sites that feature only electric hookups. These are mainly designed for smaller RVs and tent campers. Despite lacking water and sewer hookups, these sites are a good alternative to the full-hookup spaces, as they also offer all of the basic amenities.

The last, and perhaps most unique camping option at Huntsville State Park includes sites with screened shelters. In addition to electric and water hookups for RV campers, these sites also offer covered shelters with barbecue grills and picnic tables. These sites will keep you and your fellow campers cozy even in inclement weather.
