Motorcycle parked at a campsite in North Alabama woods

NORTH ALABAMA · PRIMITIVE CAMPING

SLEEP WHERE THE ROAD ENDS.

Primitive motorcycle camping on 50 acres of North Alabama woods. No resort. No amenities theater. Just trees, fire, and the sound of nothing.

BOOK ON HIPCAMP

THIS IS NOT A CAMPGROUND.

Dug Hill is a private piece of land in North Alabama. There's no check-in desk, no camp store, no one to call if you forget your sleeping bag. What there is: 50 acres of hardwood forest, a fire ring, and enough quiet to hear yourself think for the first time in months.

You ride in on two wheels. You set up camp. You stay as long as you booked. That's the whole deal.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ACTUALLY ASK

How do I get there?

Directions are sent after booking through Hipcamp. The road in is unpaved for the last stretch — plan accordingly.

Can I bring a passenger?

Yes. Your booking covers you and one passenger on the same bike. Additional riders need their own booking.

Is there cell service?

Spotty at best. Download your maps before you arrive. That's kind of the point.

What if it rains?

It's camping. Bring a good tent and a good attitude. Cancellation policy is handled through Hipcamp.

Can I arrive after dark?

You can, but we don't recommend it. The road in is easier in daylight. Plan to arrive before sunset.

Is this near good riding?

North Alabama has some of the best roads in the Southeast. You're in the right place.
