Lodge at Lake Guntersville State Park

Alabama


This bluffside resort boasts rooms, lakeside cottages and a huge campground. The lodge's accommodation is similar to a comfortable, if bland, chain hotel; the main draw is fantastic views of the lake. By the campsite, private two-bedroom cabins are nice for those wanting privacy or traveling in groups. Tent camping runs from the cheapest primitive sites to locations with full electrical hookup.
