Several cabin options near West Point Lake provide lakefront accommodations with varied amenities. R. Shaefer Heard Campground features cabin rentals with water and electric hookups, fire rings, and picnic tables. Most units offer direct lake access with private decks. Highland Marina Resort Campground provides cabin rentals with full bathrooms, kitchenettes, and air conditioning. A review mentioned that "the sites are fairly large and vary from mostly shaded to full sun. All sights have access to the lake, but this campground also has a day use area with a beachy type area if you find your site to rocky, or mucky." The cabins typically include basic furnishings with varying levels of privacy between sites.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Pine Mountain RV Resort offers furnished cabins with kitchen facilities and private bathrooms. Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park provides both rustic and modern cabin options with heating and air conditioning. Reservation requirements vary by season, with peak summer months requiring bookings well in advance. According to one visitor, "spacing from neighbors was decent as well. We'll 100% be back to enjoy this park more." Most facilities allow pets in designated cabins for an additional fee. Wind Creek State Park maintains cabin rentals year-round with lakefront views.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchenware supplies vary significantly between properties. Basic cabins typically offer minimal cooking equipment while deluxe units include refrigerators, stovetops and basic cookware. Sprewell Bluff Park and Pine Mountain Camp Ground cabins generally require guests to bring most supplies. On-site camp stores at R. Shaefer Heard and Highland Marina Resort provide basic groceries and camping supplies. Chewacla State Park cabins include more comprehensive furnishings with some kitchen equipment provided. Firewood is available for purchase at select locations.

ScoutSite is a good size located on the shore of Lake Delano under trees. Great view. Fire ring and picnic table equipped. The temp is still hot and humid but there is a breeze which makes it bearable in the daytime, nights are cooler and comfortable. Plenty to explore with Pine Mountain Trail close by. Would stay here again. This site is water and electric only with dump station at entrance.
ScoutStayed 4 nights at Cheaha State Park in the Upper Improved Campground, using sites 2 and 42. Overall, it was a solid stay with great scenery and convenient access, but a few things kept it from being exceptional. Check-in was easy and straightforward, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Both sites were easy to access, though not perfectly level, which is worth noting if you’re in a van or RV and don’t carry leveling gear. The sites included full hookups (electric, water, and sewer), along with a fire ring and picnic table, which made setup simple and comfortable. However, the sites are fairly close together, and the campground has a lot of trees and hilly terrain, so privacy is somewhat limited. We had mostly good weather aside from one rainy day, and there were some bugs and flies, especially during warmer parts of the day. The bathhouse had restrooms and showers, but cleanliness was inconsistent and could use more frequent upkeep. On the positive side, the location is the highlight. The park has a camp store at the entrance, plus great overlooks and hiking trails. It’s also a nice area for biking and exploring the mountain scenery. Would I stay again? Yes—but probably with tempered expectations. It’s a beautiful park in a great location, but for the price, the campground experience itself feels just okay rather than outstanding.
LegendThis is a typical park where not all sites are created equal. Some are paved, some are gravel. Some have 50 amp, some are 30-amp. Some are perfectly level and some have really steep grades. Some sites are pull-thru, some are back-in. Some are really long, some are much shorter. The roads in the campground are paved, free of potholes, and fairly easily navigable for big-rigs. All sites are pet-friendly and have water and electric. There are no sewer sites. Campsites 1-27 and 85-106 have 50-amp electric while the others are 30-amp. Some sites (40, 47, 50, 52, 65, 80, 84, 87, 89, 101) are “double-unit” (or buddy) sites which is reflective in the $60/night price. There are bathrooms scattered throughout the campground in each loop but there are only two shower houses in the entire campground. Sites 1-16 are perfectly level as are a few others. Reservations can be made online and the website has pictures and descriptions as well as length of site. The campground is very dark at night with the only lights being at the bathrooms. We love dark campgrounds where the moon and stars are bright. Unfortunately, numerous campers left their lights all night which we find really annoying. Our Verizon phone was very spotty and not reliable. We were able to use our portable Dish satellite to get television. There is a dump station located conveniently on your way out which is quite busy on Sundays at check out.
GuideBathhouses clean but worn. Our site was level but many are not. Construction at the entrance. Road into the park is up and down with curves and some steep grades. WiFi and ATT signal were nonexistent at our site. Hiking was really good.
ScoutI have been to FDR 3 times in the last 3 years and I hope to come more frequently. I came here multiple times over 50 years ago and I find it as enjoyable now as I did then. The check in is always easy. It is quiet there and there is so much to do. The trails are great for hiking. The facilities are always clean.
Georgia state parks are always nice but this is my favorite.
GuideNice updated CCC corp campground. Large sites,level full hookup. Most if not all have a view of the lake. We are here on a Monday but very quiet .We are in an Airstream 28 foot but several large rigs , class A and 5th wheels Not close to full but I expect very busy in the summer and weekends. I would definitely make a reservation just 90 miles from Atlanta
GuideWe stopped here for a couple of days while visiting friends in the area. We had a great time and the campground was beautiful and well maintained. looking forward to coming back here soon.
LegendThis review is for an early winter stay. The 500 loop was beautiful, with tall pines dominating the flora and creating a serene setting. The sites on the outside of the loop are wonderful- large, private and forested; whereas the inner sites were facing the road in many cases. We had 505 and my parents had 515, and both were really good. We played in the forest a lot with the kids, building a shelter and climbing trees. There is a small playground in the 500 loop. The other camping loops didn't look quite as private. The park is super close to Callaway Gardens, so we were able to check in and get setup on Friday late afternoon and still get to see the Holiday Light show at Callaway, which is pricey but very cool and worth a one time experience. The state park itself is huge, spanning at least 15 miles with trails throughout. There is one trail that is over 20 miles. The lookout where FDR spent time and had a picnic spot was stunning. We also really enjoyed the Cascade Falls trail, which had several small waterfalls along the way. This park leaves little to be desired for a weekend camping getaway.
TravelerOur stay at F.D. Roosevelt Campground was a mix of beautiful nature and frustrating logistics.
📅 Reservation Issues One of the biggest challenges we experienced was trying to secure a campsite on short notice. The reservation system felt rigid — same-day bookings weren’t available online, which made planning last-minute trips difficult and stressful. The online reads like same day walk ups are non existent.
🚿 Cleanliness of Facilities The bathrooms and showers generally stayed clean and maintained.
💰 Pricing for Tent Camping For tent camping, the nightly rate felt on the high side compared to what you’d expect — particularly if you’re just pitching a basic tent without hookups or extra amenities. We paid $43 per night here for a simple tent stay. It felt a bit steep for what you get unless you’re taking full advantage of the trails, lakes, or historical sites.
🌲 Overall Vibe While the setting is beautiful and there’s plenty to do around the park — from hiking trails to nearby historic spots — the combination of reservation headaches and cost for basic camping made our experience a bit of a mixed bag.
R. Shaefer Heard Campground offers cabin accommodations on West Point Lake with varying levels of privacy between sites. Situated at a 32.9-degree latitude, the area experiences mild winters with occasional freezing temperatures and hot, humid summers that regularly exceed 90°F. The cabins sit within a mixed pine and hardwood forest environment characterized by rolling terrain that creates natural separation between some sites while others maintain open views of the lake.
Paddling opportunities: Chattahoochee Bend State Park provides access to the river system connected to West Point Lake. "We hiked the Riverside trail from the riverfront platforms through a parking lot, where there was also a nice playground for kids, then back into the woods to an observation tower. It's a great hike for families," notes one visitor.
Fishing access: The cabins near the lake offer convenient fishing spots without needing a boat. A camper at Wind Creek State Park mentioned, "We were the only trailer in loop D. It was quiet and very enjoyable! Being right on the lake and having the ducks swim up really thrilled our dogs."
Hiking trails: Several parks with cabin accommodations feature trail systems for day hiking. "Check in was quick and easy. We had an amazing site with a great waterfront view perfect for sunsets. Kids thoroughly enjoyed playing at the edge of the water. The nearby restroom was old but serviceable and the playground was small. Trailhead is a short drive and the trails we went on were very nice," according to a visitor at R. Shaefer Heard.
Privacy levels: While some lakeside cabins offer limited seclusion, others provide more separation. A reviewer at Franklin D Roosevelt State Park noted, "We were on site 213 and 214. Beautiful wooded site lots of space between sites in this loop. Very short walk to lake. Loop 1 sites are lake front and lake view but more close together than we like."
Off-season tranquility: Winter visits offer a different experience at cabin rentals near West Point Lake. "We were there back in June. We had spot 96 and we tent camped. The spot was recommended in another review and it was wonderful. Right beside the water so the kids were able to play in the water most of the time," says a summer visitor, contrasting with the quiet winter months.
Cabin locations: Some cabin placements offer strategic advantages. At Sprewell Bluff Park, "Cabins have great views with a back porch over the bluffs (with a nice sunset vantage point). Bunk beds are fine (mattresses not that great) and plenty of space inside with extras that make them really convenient (fridge, microwave, good heating)."
Reservation timing: Peak periods require early booking, particularly summer holidays and fall color season. "We stayed during the 4th of July weekend, it wasn't crowded and was very peaceful. Fun trails, hiking and swimming! My favorite part was watching our kids and my husband jump off the large rock into the river," notes a Sprewell Bluff visitor.
Gate restrictions: Some properties limit nighttime access. According to a visitor at R. Shaefer Heard, "But beware: the gate is locked shut from 10 PM to 8 AM, no exceptions unless the elderly host personally deems your emergency worthy. Installing a simple keypad would save everyone time and dignity."
Winter variations: Cabin availability and amenities differ seasonally. "Older facilities but the views make up for it. Water and power year round even in winter. Some spots are a little closer than others but most have woods in between so they are somewhat private," notes another R. Shaefer Heard visitor.
Swimming options: Lake access varies by cabin location, with some providing better swimming conditions. At Chewacla State Park, "Nice hiking trails, mountain biking trails, a lake, a waterfall, and cabins. What more could you ask for all in one spot? Campground is a bit cramped, but the showers and bathrooms are clean, and the trails are well maintained."
Playground access: Several cabin properties include playground facilities. "My four kids and I had a blast at FDR state park. They have a lot of stuff to do there. We fished and swam, they also had a scavenger hunt that you kids loved doing," reports a Franklin D Roosevelt State Park visitor.
Wildlife viewing: Cabins can provide opportunities to observe local fauna. "Wildlife is busy here— armadillos, raccoons, and rabbits all feel quite at home on your tent pad. It's charming, if you're into that kind of thing," notes a camper at R. Shaefer Heard.
Site selection: Certain cabin areas accommodate RVs better than others, with varying hookup options. "Campground is fairly large with lots of sites for RVs, a few Cabins, yurts, and even tent sites. There is a really nice and well maintained pool, hot tub, and splash area for small kids. The RV sites near the pool are concrete pads and well spaced out," notes a visitor at Pine Mountain RV Resort.
Leveling issues: Some cabin and RV sites require adjustment for comfort. "Sites pretty level and gravel. Concrete picnic table, fire ring and light pole with lots of room for our dogs," noted a Franklin D Roosevelt State Park visitor.
Off-season advantages: Winter visits offer different cabin and RV experiences. "This is a great family campground with a boat launch on lake Martin. Good swimming, adequate shade," notes a Wind Creek visitor describing the summer experience, while the park remains considerably quieter in winter months.
