ScoutStaff is great and his campground allows campfires. Pet friendly with two dog parks. Great pool and has cabins and yurts to reserve. Less than three miles from Callaway Gardens and FDR Park. Town of Pine Mountain...two street lights...very quaint sidewalk shops! This place is a hidden treasure.
ScoutThe park has too much to list for amenities! Dog park, clean laundry facilities, camping, chalets, excellent pull thru's, boat rental, post access and MWR office, and more! Check website for eligibility
TravelerGreat location if you are visiting FT. Benning. Not quite a “resort” yet, but maybe soon. They are under construction, but most spots were full. Felt more like tailgating than camping. Beautiful paved path leading to dog park, playground, golf course and river walk. Recommend screen shelter as there is no shade and it can get hot and buggy. Also, wear closed toe or muck boots as there are large stones and broken glass imbedded in all the sites. Clean port a potty. Do your shopping before hitting the site as the area right around it is very economically depressed. We had a great week long visit with our soldier before he moved on to his next assignment.
TravelerWow. This park is phenomenal! It is so beautiful. The canyons are breathtaking and the staff is so helpful and friendly!
Pets are welcomed and many people had theirs. So if your pet doesn’t like crowds or other pets it would be best to leave them home. Also it’s a decent walk very steep and at times strenuous so elderly people or pets may want to stay at the top. (We slipped multiple times going down.)
Make sure you take a cash to get in the gate or you will have to go to the visitor center.
We plan to go back and camp but I believe you have to hike to the camp sites.
ScoutDecent hiking. Trails aren’t very difficult, pet friendly.
ScoutIt’s been raining the whole weekend. Even so, this campground is a beautiful place. The only problems we have had: 1: buildings are not marked. It was hard to determine what was a private cabin vs bath house. 2: (this is a fellow camper issue not campground) someone with a large dog was just letting it run amuck! That is what ruins “pet friendly “ places. Lease your babies!!!
Like I said, this place is a beautiful campground. Definitely deserves a repeat visit!
ScoutThe lots are pretty close , but it's a very nice family and pet friendly park . Lake views from just about every lot .
GuideNice campground easy to find and just off of I 85. Large spots and full hookups. Kind of tight entry but my 108 wide camper made it. Very family friendly. Pets are welcome and the staff is very friendly.
LegendThis is another one of the U.S. Military Campgrounds (similar to the Maxwell/Gunter AFB one in Montgomery) and similarly, it caters primarily to RVs. There are a few tent sites available but they aren't very nice or well maintained. The whole campground is a bit run down and in need of attention and updating.
There is a boat launch and beach area. However, I wouldn't recommend spending much time in the beach area due to the large amount of garbage and pet waste. Oddly, dogs are allowed within the park but only if you are camping in a camper or RV. Dogs are not allowed in the tent camping area which I find odd.
We stayed here while visiting family in the area and I wouldn't stay here again. There isn't much to do unless you have a boat so you would be better off finding a different place to spend your time.
