Quick Overview

Heflin is a small town in Cleburne County in northeast Alabama, sitting along I-20 near the Georgia border in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The area has several RV dump stations, with some offering free access. You'll find sani-dump options at local campgrounds and RV parks near the I-20 corridor. Heflin is close to Cheaha State Park, home to Alabama's highest point at 2,407 feet, and the surrounding Talladega National Forest provides excellent hiking, camping, and mountain recreation across hundreds of thousands of acres of public land. The Pinhoti Trail, Alabama's premier long-distance hiking trail, runs through the nearby mountains and eventually connects to the Appalachian Trail in Georgia, making this area a through-hiker corridor during the spring and fall seasons. The Cleburne County countryside has a mountain character that feels more like north Georgia or the Carolinas than the flat Alabama that most people picture, with hardwood-covered ridges and cool hollows that provide relief from the lowland heat. For RVers, Heflin is a practical I-20 dump stop near the Georgia border and a useful base for exploring the mountain areas of northeast Alabama that most people don't know exist.
