This is one of our favorite parks, there are lots of beautiful hiking trails and a awesome waterfall. The lodge and restaurant were fantastic as well. We will definitely return to this gem! Full review by WildHaireAdventures

Here at DeSoto we have thousands of campers here a year, with RVs & rigs of all sizes & lengths. We are a mountain park, and some of the roads are curvy and have some elevation. There is one way we recommend coming into the park, which is exit 218 off of I-59-Fort Payne exit. You will be coming up the slope of Lookout Mountain on AL Hwy 35, turning left on Country Road 89 and it is a straight 5-mile shot to the park. Once in the park, follow signs to the Country Store & Information Center to check in, which is directly off of County Road 89. Once you leave store heading to campground, there is a curvy road leading to the campground that is only about 1 mile long. For more detailed directions, go to our website, ALAPARK, click DeSoto State Park, then Plan Your Trip for written directions (be cautious with GPS)
