Desoto State Park Campground

Yes, it's possible. Just be careful choosing your site, and be sure and follow the directions carefully about coming into the park. I believe this is the park I called ahead and verified directions with park staff....

We did just fine in our 40 footer. You do want to make sure that you find a level site though! Read as many reviews as you can on individual sites, look at all the photos, very carefully, and go from there. Some of the sites are extremely unlevel....

Take Hwy 35 through Fort Payne. At the top of the climb you will turn left onto Desoto Pkwy. Well marked with a sign for Desoto Park. That road takes you into the park and to the camp store. Turn left at the camp store and there will be checkin parking there. The only scary part is when you start down the hill to the camp store it is a down hill right curve with a BIG rock sticking out almost in your lane. The first time there I was wondering if I was going somewhere that I couldn’t get out, but now you know you are on the right track when you see it....

Take Hwy 35 - it is 2 miles up hill to the park access road, then 6 miles fairly level to the park. No real issues for our 33" class A with a toad. This is not "The" Lookout Mountain, just part of the mountain ridge....

I don't know about it being on top of the Mountain, but we took our 40' Super C there with no problem. We enjoyed it so much that we have another trip planned this year and booked a buddy site with friends pulling a 43' 5er. Make sure to follow their DIRECTIONS....
