Talladega Pit Stop RV Park and Campground

How’s your aim? You’ll soon find out at CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park (10 minutes’ drive), a shooting range for hunting rifles, shotguns and pistols. Those of you who prefer a swim to a shoot-out will be in a good patch too, as there are wild swimming holes in the Talladega National Forest… there’s the little pool at Salt Creek Falls (25 minutes) or Devil's Den Falls (35 minutes) for a swimming hole bigger in size, partway along the Chinnabee Silent Trail, a six-mile hike around from creek to mountain. More water on your mind? To the west, there’s the Coosa river and boat rental available at the Poor House Branch Marina (15 minutes). However, those of you who want to stick around the east will have all of Cheaha State Park (40 minutes) to explore, including the Cheaha Falls and a lookout point from the highest point in all of Alabama – 2,407 feet above sea level, to be exact. Got the city bug too? Anniston (20 minutes) has many a metropolitan haunt and the Anniston Museum of Natural History (25 minutes) for a little learning along the way.
