Off the beaten path and so peaceful. Gary and Tricia are awesome hosts!

Scary to get here. A very narrow paved road followed by a very steep gravel road. Once here the view is amazing. Full hookups, playground, pool table. Only 8 sites.

What a great campground! The owners, Gary and Tricia, were friendly and hospitable from the very first time I called for reservations. It really is a hidden gem!

The owners, Gary and Tricia, were friendly and hospitable from the very first time I called for reservations. It really is a hidden gem! Breathtaking views, immaculate grounds, family fun. There is a swing set, corn hole, and horseshoes for the kids. All sites have a sun canopy over the picnic table, a fire pit, and full hook ups. Be aware that all sites except site #8 have hammock hooks on the canopy. The owners’ dog, Nellie, roams around and is an awesome hostess. She was so friendly and loved the kids. Our dog made friends quickly and we looked forward to seeing her throughout the day. My family and I will definitely be booking here again in the near future!

This camp ground is one of our favorites. It was nicely kept up and very peaceful. The views are amazing and the owners were there every morning checking on everything.

The views are amazing and the owners were there every morning checking on everything. The sunshades have hammock hooks already there. Our site had three different locations for hammocks. The site are all plenty big and all of the connections worked without an issue. Sites are pretty level with gravel. We will definitely return here soon.

We really can't say enough about what an awesome experience we had at Frank's Point of View. It is immaculately maintained, beautifully appointed spacious sites and views that are incredible.

This is the quietest CG we have ever stayed at. Breath taking view! We counted 7 mountain chains in the distance! Staff very hospitable. Very clean and well kept. Off grid but on grid. Full hookups. Gravel pads but level. Pavilion And picnic table at every lot. Great rates. We will be back!

Frank’s Point of View was a hidden gem. So grateful we found this slice of Heaven campsite. Gorgeous 360° views from the top of the hill. Camp hosts were so kind and friendly!

Gorgeous 360° views from the top of the hill. Camp hosts were so kind and friendly! We saw fireflies at night after watching the gorgeous sunset and moonrise from the hilltop. We stayed an extra night just to take it all in, we didn’t want to leave! Amenities: Full hook ups, a fire ring with firewood for your first night, picnic table under a cover, including a cover for your tow vehicle, level gravel site, swings, corn hole, horse shoes, miles of private nature trails. Lots of small touches that make this so wonderful! The hosts set up bird / hummingbird feeders so there is a lot of activity to watch, deer feeder, and a shade / privacy barrier that does not obstruct views of the mountains! Road leading in is gravel and has two large hills to climb. We didn’t need 4WD but they were quite an incline, worth it to reach the view at the top! The small town of Ashland is about 10 min away with restaurants and grocery. We have a 37’ travel trailer. Great ATT coverage!

We lucked out and were able to book a Memorial Day weekend campsite at the last minute. Franks Point of View is a unique and special place. Just 8 campsites all have large shade structures and full hook ups. The owners are great folks and incredibly helpful. The views, sunsets and night sky are incredible. We will be back.

This place was spectacular! Gary and Tricia were wonderful, and great hosts. The trails are wide and we'll marked. The views are breath taken. A MUST stay!

What a wonderful, family owned campground! 5 stars is not enough for Frank's Point of View Campground in Ashland, AL. Pros*Amazing cell service (husband and I worked for the full 2 weeks we were there and it was really easy)*Small- 8 sites (each and every one has an amazing view of rolling hills, mountains, and the Talladega Forest)*Huge canopy covering in each site*Full hook ups*Hiking Trails*Good Price/weekly rates are available*Little things that the owners thought of like hummingbird and deer feeders, a free bundle of wood for your first fire, hooks for a hammock (you have to bring your own), small clubhouse with pool table, swings for the kiddos, and they are building a bath house. ConsNone that I could think of The owners could expand and easily fit 2 or 3 times as many sites, but they don't want to compromise the feel of the place or not allow for every site to have that perfect view. We spent 2 full weeks working, with 2 dogs, a 3yr old and 5 yr old. I loved seeing the kids get to explore in nature and truly felt like we were boondocking in somewhere remote. I'm not usually one to leave a review unless I feel strongly about a place. I want to recommend Frank's though because they are only about a year old and were mostly empty while we were there. I hope they get more business so that they are there when make it back some day!!

Having been/being RVers themselves, the Franks have incorporated a lot of little extras that make this place so special. Amazing view and sunsets. We cannot say enough good things about this place...you just need to experience it for yourself. Thanks so much, Gary and Tricia!

This was the most peaceful beautiful view and perfect site we have ever experienced. The Frank's are awesome hosts. We will always choose this campground anytime we are traveling Alabama. Thank you for the special anniversary treat. So thoughtful.

If I could more stars I WOULD!!! I can't say enough amazing things about this site! Literally as close as you can get to boondocking but don't have to sacrifice any conveniences!

I can't say enough amazing things about this site! Literally as close as you can get to boondocking but don't have to sacrifice any conveniences! Site was level and very well maintained! Plus Gary and Tricia provide each spot with firewood and all the tools you need to enjoy your time around the firepit! Then they offer firewood for sale on site as well. It is almost like staying with family! Everyone is beyond kind! Gary provided us with propane when we ran out (which was essential because it dropped below freezing a few times at night)The views are absolutely incredible! The trails were so much fun to explore! We found a branch stuck in the trees and created a "rope swing" which provided a needed rest for the kids. I was able to conduct my zoom meetings without any issues on Verizon. Tmobile was hit or miss. we were able to connect tablets and do simple things on the internet but streaming didn't work well. SERIOUSLY can't express how much we loved our time at the Frank's home. After 9 months of being full time this is definitely on our top 5 spots!! ......Actually on second thought I take it all back... you should stay far away because we would love to come back!

This is as close to boondocking as you can get but still have full hookups. With only 8 sites, and all the people at Frank’s Point of View are here for the same reason...the tranquility. That would include the hiking trails too.

With only 8 sites, and all the people at Frank’s Point of View are here for the same reason...the tranquility. That would include the hiking trails too. The view stretches on forever, and you never get tired of looking out at it as the sun and clouds change the colors. There was a mention in a previous review that getting to the campground might be a challenge in a large class. It is not. We are almost 60K pounds with our car in tow and we navigated the hills without any reservations or problems. Ez-peezy.Lastly, the owners are real RV’ers and it shows not only in the sites but in their hospitality! Most excellent! We will be back for the fall colors in 2021.

We conquer with the other reviews. This is a gem of a place to stay. Not only was our location and site was among the best we have stayed at, Gary met us with a gift bag and our site had firewood waiting by the fire-ring. Location and hospitality were superb. So wish we could have stayed longer.

It’s one of those epic places you stumble on and say wow I love that my life allows me the privilege of enjoying places like this. We were here in early November the leaves were just starting to change. I expect them to be great in the next few weeks. The road in is a little bumpy, but not bad. There are 8 spots, 7 with canopies. ...moreIt’s one of those epic places you stumble on and say wow I love that my life allows me the privilege of enjoying places like this. We were here in early November the leaves were just starting to change. I expect them to be great in the next few weeks. The road in is a little bumpy, but not bad. There are 8 spots, 7 with canopies. All have fire pits and picnic tables. It is a little ways to town, but this is camping for peace and quiet, beautiful night skies and epic sunsets. The owners were extremely nice people. The Verizon cell coverage is 5 bars up at the spots. There are several hiking trails. We did them all. I believe they would be rated relatively easy, but due to a recent storm there were a few branches down. We really enjoyed this benefit as did our dog. Spots are gravel. Everything is clean and well maintained. We saw travel trailers, 5th wheels, B’s and Cs. The road in might be challenging for really large Class As. We will definitely be back, if there’s space available.

From the beautiful view to immaculate campground, this place is a hidden gem! The campground is kept extremely clean. The little touches at this campground are phenomenal. Hammock hooks on the double wide pavilion on site, lights on the hookups and so much more! The owners are a joy and our family loved every moment .

This is a special campground with amazing views built as a labor of love by two very kind and caring people committed to creating as perfect a camping experience as possible on their 280-acre slice of heaven.

The movie “Field of Dreams” came to mind as we considered the owners’ motivation and efforts - they are that committed. The gravel sites are wide, deep and private, each with full hookups, most with a large shade structure, and all with a grand view of the Talladega National Forest. Every sunset is an event, every sunrise a call to explore. The night skies are perfect for stargazing, with the Milky Way prominent on moonless nights. And at 1,100+ feet in elevation, we didn’t experience any mosquitos throughout our June/July stay. Because it is a brand new campground (established in March 2020), it is still possible to reserve a site without planning months in advance. That won’t last long because - like the movie, “they are building it, and they will come.” (Spoiler alert: Frank is not a person, it is the last name of the campground owners (Tricia and Gary Frank), who are generous enough to share their point of view with the rest of us.)We stayed at this campground for several weeks in June/July 2020 in a 27’ travel trailer, and we give it our highest recommendation after 8 years of RV traveling and camping. August 2020 update: the Franks added bird feeders (both seed and hummingbird) proximate to the campsites, and we enjoyed watching a daily parade of birds vying for a meal. There were more hummingbirds than we had ever seen before at one location.October 2020 update: the Franks POV wilderness trails opened this month - well over three miles of marked, mapped trails, accessible from the campground, snaking through forested hillsides and creeks very similar to the established Talladega NF trails.

We agree with all the beautifully written reviews.

Having been boon docking off and on for 3 weeks, we needed a spot to literally recharge our batteries with full cell coverage for a week of remote working. It more than fit the bill. It is obvious that the owners (Gary & Tricia) have spent time in the Camping world as their attention to detail is reflected In everything- from the ease of checking in to the thoughtful site layout. Gary and Tricia made us feel like family stopping by for a visit. My only concern is that we will be able to get to go back. I imagine they will consistently be fully booked.

Beautiful setting, just 8 large gravel sites. The climb up requires some steady acceleration but is doable if you have the torque. The long driveway can be dusty so RV & car washing is allowed which is a great perk. The pavilions (sites 1-4 so far) are very nice and big enough to park a smaller car out of the sun. Hookups, as you might expect, are brand new and logically arranged. In fact, everything is new - fire rings, picnic tables, trash cans. Nellie the collie style mix was very sweet and welcoming to my dog - they explored together which was great. This is a great jumping-off point to explore the forest including all the trails (Pinhoti included) and several mountain biking options. I forgot to ask...who is Frank? T-Mobile and AT&T signals were fine - 20mbps down, 10mbps up.

We were looking for a secluded campground that was close to home, yet uncrowded and quiet. We found it. This is not Glamping World. We like glamping as much as anyone, but also love getting back to nature in a more rustic setting. The park rests atop a large hill overlooking the Talladega National Forest to the west.

We like glamping as much as anyone, but also love getting back to nature in a more rustic setting. The park rests atop a large hill overlooking the Talladega National Forest to the west. Sunsets are amazing. There is almost always a breeze (at least) of 5-10 mph prevailing from the southeast, so temps are pleasant in summer and early fall and likely chilly in early spring and winter. Sites are level, spacious and gravel. Canopy sites allow for using them as your 'awning' and we will do that next time. Too much wind for consistent awning use during our stay. Brilliant design by owners. All site facilities are new and very thoughtfully laid out. A laundry is planned, followed by a bath house over the next few months, so be aware that you will need to use your onboard facilities until then. The owners, Gary and Trisha Frank, have built this campground themselves with much tender loving care. They are super friendly and helpful, but are also respectful of their guests' privacy. Access is via a gravel road and is fairly steep in places, so be sure you are aware in case of inclement weather. Ashland is 15 minutes north and has a Piggly Wiggly, gas station, a few local restaurants and diners and a medical facility. Courthouse building is awesome. Walmart and fast food, etc., are available within a 30-45 minute drive west or south. This is a great getaway from "city life" and allows nature's beauty to sink in. Finally, you can hear a pin drop from 20 miles away at night!

This campground is a work of art, sitting on a mesa 1100 feet high overlooking the Talladega National Forest with a 360 degree view that is spectacular. There are only 8 campsites and each site has a picnic table, water and sewer, fire pit, 20/30/ and 50 amp service. 3 sites, ( 1-2-3) have covered wood sun canopies with privacy panels...moreThis campground is a work of art, sitting on a mesa 1100 feet high overlooking the Talladega National Forest with a 360 degree view that is spectacular. There are only 8 campsites and each site has a picnic table, water and sewer, fire pit, 20/30/ and 50 amp service. 3 sites, ( 1-2-3) have covered wood sun canopies with privacy panels. Site parking is an east west orientation so you have a view of the sunrise (if you are so inclined) and a sunset that you won't forget. The owners, Gary and Tricia, live on the 200 plus acres the campground is located on, and are very special people with a servant's heart. They provide you with free firewood for your first night's campfire and have firewood available you can pick-up and pay for on the honor system. If you want a great relaxing camping experience without the crowds, this campground is the perfect place. Lake Martin, a 44000 acre freshwater lake is located about 30 minutes away, and has some of the best recreational boating you will find anywhere. I can't wait to go back !!

Very nice place friendly owners .. absolutely beautiful place will be back
