RV Rental Heflin, AL

You can rest assured that a town not far from the famous Appalachian mountains that travelers from all over the world come to hike is going to offer its own outdoor options as well. If hiking a section of the 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail is a bit much for you, try a stretch of the 350-mile Pinhoti Trail. Leading up to the trail is the 3.5 miles of the Heflin Spur if you prefer a shorter hike. More hiking trails can be found at Pine Glen Campground. And if hiking is not your thing, many of these trails also permit mountain biking.

For the water lovers, bring a canoe, kayak, or an inflatable tube to the Tallapoosa River. With 265 miles of gently meandering river to explore, what’s not to love? Maybe today is the day you finally master stand-up paddleboarding. Feeling a little sunburnt after and prefer to stay in the car or beneath a shady canopy of trees? Take a scenic drive around Talladega National Forest. A vast area of forest, a waterfall, and pristine wilderness all around, the almost 400,000 acres of woodland is there for you to explore. You can park your Heflin luxury RV rental and rent an ATV instead. Get muddy as you head up the ATV trail to reach Mount Cheaha in Cheaha State Park, the highest point in Alabama.

Don’t mind a longer drive for adventure’s sake? Situated in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Birmingham is known to be the greenest city in the US. With more green space per capita than any other city within the states, you can be certain that there are plenty of outdoor activities to participate in. The Birmingham Botanical Gardens are worth a visit, or perhaps the Birmingham Zoo. There’s also a petting zoo at Oak Mountain State Park.

Or head to Cascade Springs Nature Preserve in Atlanta, GA. You can also join a night-time race on the Sweetwater Creek trails, where a beer is your reward at the end. You can also bring some of your own beers to the Chattahoochee River. Prefer to sit back and watch others do the hard work? Go see the track cyclers at Dick Lane Velodrome from the stands, where you can see the entire race and only work up a sweat from the Southern sunshine.

Heflin offers two great lodging options for your home-on-wheels. A quiet, relaxing choice to park your travel trailer rental from Heflin for the night is Cane Creek RV Park. With trees around the property and a stream running right through, as well as conveniences such as showers and laundry, you’ll be all set for a comfortable overnight stay.

Not even 10 minutes’ of a drive away is Georgia-Bama RV Park, another alternative to house your Heflin camper rental. While no restrooms or laundry are available at this lot, you do have full hookups for your RV, and a restaurant with steak and seafood options visitors rave about. Be sure to ask for a discount on your meal if you’re staying at the RV park, especially if you’re a senior visiting on Tuesday night (you get 20% off!)

Staying at either RV park puts you smack dab in the middle of two big cities in two different states: Birmingham, Alabama, and Atlanta, Georgia. About the same distance apart, either city is perfect for a day devoted to strolling around lively downtowns and historic neighborhoods. In Birmingham, there are many museums focused on historical art, and science-related exhibits. If you’re a museum lover, your options are almost unlimited in the big city. Atlanta, likewise, has its own history, art, and science museums, plus a few other eclectic choices. Both cities also offer multiple performing arts theaters and plenty of shops of all kinds.

Heflin itself has fun events and local businesses to check out. If you happen to be visiting on a holiday, attend their 4th of July Bicycle and Wagon Parade, or the St. Pawtrick’s Day Pet Parade. You can also look into one of the frequently reoccurring live music events, wilderness survival classes, or volunteer activities to participate in. Your dining options include Southern comfort foods such as fried chicken and BBQ, with a little variety like Mexican food and pizza thrown in. If you like shopping while traveling in your RV rental, Heflin has a few boutiques, as well as antique and consignment shops for you to peruse.

For more odd finds, you can go see the World’s Largest Office Chair. Nearby in Anniston is a 31’ tall chair that stands sturdy and tall. It once withstood weather so rough that the nearby furniture store’s roof blew off, while the chair remained standing. While in Anniston visit the Museum of Natural History. Check out minerals, fossils, and more than 2,000 other natural history items displayed for the public. Within the same town is another museum, the Berman Museum, this one featuring exhibits on history and art. Before you leave Anniston, stop by the Freedom Riders National Monument established by President Barack Obama in 2017.

When visiting Heflin, AL in your RV rental, be sure to set aside time to absorb the area’s history, charm, and beauty. Book an RV in Cleburne County today and get ready for a trip to the “Deep South,” where fried comfort food is no joke and Southern hospitality is still alive and well.
