The campground offers over 60 sites, plus six cozy cabins. Three of these are rustic stone cabins with two rooms each, while the other three are smaller, single-room cabins. Cabin Six has been beautifully updated with new floors, furniture, appliances, and a modern bathroom. For larger groups, the park also has three group camp cabins--each with 20 bunk beds and spacious bathrooms that include showers, toilets, and sinks. The park is full of history and adventure. Visitors can explore the Pioneer Cabin and its nearby waterfall, or cross the famous swinging bridge--a suspension bridge that stretches 25 feet over Bear Creek. On the other side, you'll find two trails perfect for bouldering, rock climbing, or simply wandering through the forest. Wildlife is abundant, with deer, squirrels, raccoons, and plenty of other critters calling the park home. There are three scenic pavilions for picnics or gatherings. Pavilion One has restrooms nearby, Pavilion Two overlooks Haines Lake, and Pavilion Three also offers a beautiful view of the water. The dining hall is available for weddings, reunions, meetings, and other special events. Fishing enthusiasts will love the three fishing spots: Haines Lake, a quiet pond behind the Pioneer Cabin, and Bear Creek beneath the swinging bridge. For families, the park includes two playgrounds, a sports field, and plenty of picnic tables with cast-iron grills scattered throughout. Outdoor fun continues with three disc golf courses designed for different skill levels. And when it's time to clean up, the campground features two bathhouses that are always kept tidy by the hardworking park staff. Tishomingo State Park is more than just a destination--it's a place where history, nature, and community come together.

We got there right before sundown so we got to look around before it got dark. The gate and entrance are super cute, and we got a glance at the terrace by the gift shop, which looked like a lovely lounge. After introduction and signing of waivers, our guide took us down to the canyon where we got to see so many glow worms! It was really a living galaxy, so special. Similar bugs are only found in Australia or New Zealand, so if you get a chance, try to go check this out. The glow worms appear around April-May and also September-October, so keep an eye for that. Getting reservations is tricky as you gotta call, so you definitely need persistence but it's worth it!

1 star The website…read moresays dogs are welcome, so we drove two hours to Dismal Park on a Thursday morning in late September with ours. We were turned away at the gate. In the parking lot, a woman asked if our dogs were friendly. I don't let strangers pet my dogs, so I said "no," which is my standard answer. That was the whole conversation. She turned out to work the ticket booth. When my husband went in for tickets, staff told him we couldn't enter because our dogs were unfriendly and claimed one had lunged at her. It didn't. That dog is so sociable that our daycare uses him to socialize other dogs. My husband tried to explain, but staff talked over him and wouldn't let him finish a sentence, lecturing him about dog bites and visitors who are afraid of dogs. As a private business, the park is free to turn anyone away. But the lot had three cars in it, and they refused a paying family over a false claim without any interest in hearing our side. We would have spent about $200 on admissions and food. If dogs aren't welcome, or are welcome only after a screening, say so on your website. And if you advertise dogs as welcome, treat the people who bring them like guests. So much for Southern hospitality.

I would appreciate some wood signs discerning the junctions from one another. There are several social trails that will mislead you and could easily be fixed with a social trail sign or caution tape. I color coded the map attached to this review to show my route. I parked at the trailhead for the fitness trail. I walked the pink line to the museum and walked the yellow line back. Once I took a break, I did the green line. Due to poor planning I didn't realize the bike trail wasn't a loop and so I didn't intend to do two there and back hikes I'm not sure why it's not a loop as it could likely be connected from where it ends at the amphitheater to the 0.40 mile mark on the part of the bike trail headed straight to the museum... The visitor center/museum can be walked to from the bike trail. It's got information and artifacts from David Crockett's life and stuff. They also have several birds of prey outside that you can view anytime. The park rangers are very friendly and helpful when kids want to learn about the birds.

This was a last-minute stop based on a sign I saw along the side of the road, and it was absolutely…read moreworth it! I had some difficulty finding it, as there is a town called "Natural Bridge." Google directed me there, and not to the park, itself, which caused some confusion. Coming in from the I-10, take highway 13 North to road 278. Turning RIGHT takes you to the town. Turning LEFT takes you to the bridge. There are some signs, but they are worn, and obscured by vegetation. Arriving at the park, one is immediately greeted with picturesque views, and a trickling creek. The trees are majestic, and the parking ample. It's important to remember that this is rural Alabama, and not some big city. The admission is inexpensive, and the trails are simple. The people that run the gift shop are country folk, and are very kind. Mind your manners (and your children). Stay on the trails, walk carefully, and do what the sign says - "Take only pictures .....leave only footsteps. With that said, this place was amazing. The bridge is absolutely breathtaking, as is the rock formation called "Indian Head." Many inscriptions - some over 100 years old - are carved into the surrounding sandstone. There is dripping water under the bridge, so watch your step! The trail is primitive and there are roots sticking out here and there - be careful! Shoes with traction are a MUST here for safety reasons! Enough said - go enjoy this natural wonder for yourself!
