Unhitched Cullman
70 RV Sites
Set on 40 acres of quiet countryside, Unhitched Cullman is the kind of place where things move slower—in the best way. There’s room to breathe, room to wander, and a handful of farm animals around just to keep things fun. Whether you’re in an RV or one of the tiny cabins, the setup is simple, the staff’s welcoming, and everything just feels easy. You’re close to the interstate, but once you’re parked, it doesn’t feel like it.
This part of North Alabama has a mix of small-town charm and some pretty unique things to check out. Just a few minutes from the campground, Smith Lake is a local favorite. It’s one of the largest lakes in Alabama, and folks come from all over to fish, swim, or get out on the water. For a mellow afternoon, you can head to Sportsman Lake Park for paddle boats and walking paths, or take a short drive to explore the rocky trails at Hurricane Creek Park. If caves are more your thing, Rickwood Caverns State Park is just down the road and has a guided underground tour that’s worth doing.
Cullman also has a unique spiritual side. The Ave Maria Grotto is right in town and features over 100 miniature versions of famous religious landmarks—built over decades by a local Benedictine monk using stone, cement, and scraps he found around town. A little further out in Hanceville, you’ll find the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, a peaceful, tucked-away spot with quiet walking paths and a striking chapel that feels like it belongs in Europe.
If you’re visiting in the spring, the Cullman Strawberry Festival brings live music, food, and a solid crowd downtown. The Festhalle Farmers Market is another good stop for local produce, crafts, and small-town conversation. And in the summer, the big one is Rock the South—a multi-day country music fest that brings in big names and turns Cullman into one loud party.
Unhitched Cullman is the kind of place you come to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and maybe discover a few things you didn’t expect. Come on by.
