4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks around West Point Lake provide full hookup options for recreational vehicles. Pine Mountain RV Resort offers concrete pull-through sites with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections, though spacing between sites varies significantly. "The RV sites near the pool are concrete pads and well spaced out. The sites below the pool area are a little tighter and un-level," noted one visitor. Pyne Road Park Campground features 30-amp electric and water hookups with a dump station but no sewer connections at individual sites. Lakeside RV Park in Opelika maintains year-round availability with full hookup sites and accommodations for big rigs, while R. Shaefer Heard Campground provides water and electric sites with 50-amp service directly on the lake.
Most RV parks in the area require advance reservations, especially during football season and fall months. Cell service varies significantly across the region, with reviewers reporting weak but usable Verizon coverage at R. Shaefer Heard Campground. Dump station access is available at several locations including Pine Mountain RV Resort and Pyne Road Park Campground. Pet policies generally allow dogs but with restrictions at some facilities. According to one visitor at Amity Campground, "Big sites but smaller loops if you are taking an RV." Trash collection service differs between parks, with Pine Mountain offering twice-daily pickup. Laundry facilities are present at Lakeside RV Park and Ramsey RV Park but absent at many other locations around West Point Lake.

"We had a pull through spot (I). The spot was slightly unlevel on the right side.Although there was loud interstate noise, it was still peaceful with the babbling creek in front of our site."
"We had a pull through site back there not far from the bathhouse. The facilities were nice and staff was friendly."

"I enjoyed a couple days there while visiting Tuskegee Historic site, and enjoyed seeing a working farm, among the hills of Alabama."
"There is a bathhouse and two laundry rooms. It’s on a cow farm, and sometimes the cows get lose but are sweet and generally stay right by the fence anyway."
GuideWell, another review from Hank and I about three weeks ago in October we stayed at McIntosh reserve in Whitesburg Georgia. We stayed for a week. They have no power, but we have a solar generator and a regular generator they have water Spicket spread out sporadically throughout the park, they do have restrooms and a shower house. Very nice park. Very nice host.
RangerWe stayed here in November 2020. Set near the Talladega National Forest, Frans has 8 sites and a 360 degree view. It is so quiet your ears hurt. All sites have a sun canopy for your tow vehicle or picnicking. There is no shower house or restrooms. The owners are RV’ers and have laid out the campsites facing west for fantastic sunsets. There are hiking trails on the property and even a trail-buggy you can schedule to use. A donation jar is available for guests who would like to contribute for the cost of operation. Daily, weekly, and a monthly rates are available. Some reviews (on other sites) might mention the road to the campsites being hard to negotiate. We had zero trouble up or down with our 55k pound 45’ Blue Bird. The website has a great list of things to do and see in the area.
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.
GuideWe needed a place to stay while visiting our daughter and her husband, who is stationed at Fort Benning. Cedar Trail was the only place we found that had a reasonable monthly rate not much for amenities, but a safe convenience place to stay. Sites are priced by the day the week or the month, so if you book 32 days that’s priced at the monthly rate plus one day not at a prorated monthly rate.
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.
GuideA little hard to find but the facilities are very clean and the spots are well laid out. The pool is part of a water park which is only open seasonally, so check the dates if you are wanting to take a dip
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.

Spacious campsites: Bar-W RV Park features unusually generous sites. "Each site is quite large, I've never seen such large campsites before," reports Tina A. The campground sits on a working cattle farm with a distinct rural atmosphere compared to more developed lakeside options.
Price considerations: Campground rates vary widely around West Point Lake. Regarding Ramsey RV Park, judy M. notes the monthly rate: "Full hook up's, salt h2o swimming pool, cable, bath house, camp fires allowed, pets allowed on leash, $700.00 / month."
Bathhouse conditions: Maintenance standards differ between properties. At Auburn RV Park, Mark O. found "Both men's and women's restrooms had trash all over floor, showers that didn't look to have cleaned in quite some time," while Tallapoosa River facilities were described as "clean, private, and updated."
Reservation requirements: Football season significantly impacts availability at rv parks near West Point Lake. Anna R. notes that Auburn RV Park "is a popular RV campground for football fans coming to Auburn Games in the fall," making advance booking essential during fall weekends.
