Fishing enthusiasts and wildlife watchers will find direct water access at most sites at this US Army Corps of Engineers campground on West Point Lake. The 90-plus sites spread across multiple loops, with the majority positioned along the water's edge where campers can fish, swim, or launch kayaks directly from their spots.
Large, well-spaced sites accommodate RVs up to 55 feet with 30 and 50-amp electric and water hookups. A dump station handles waste disposal since individual sites lack sewer connections. The campground's layout creates natural separation between loops, with sites spaced at least 120 feet apart according to campers. Several loops feature pavilions for group gatherings, plus tennis and basketball courts.
Nature trails wind through the property, including a boardwalk system over marsh areas where duck, owl, and bluebird nest boxes attract wildlife. The Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail passes through the campground, offering opportunities to spot great egrets and blue herons in the sloughs. Tracy J. notes the "nice sloping grass down to water" at lakeside sites.
The campground operates seasonally from April through Labor Day, with reservations available through the Corps of Engineers system. Clean restrooms and a camp host program maintain the facility, though not all bathhouses include showers. Campers seeking additional options in the region can explore campgrounds near West Point Lake.
Description
Overview
Amity Campground is a waterfront facility on the western shore of West Point Lake, which spans parts of Alabama and Georgia. This man-made lake has 525 miles of shoreline that provide excellent opportunities for fishing, camping, boating and other recreational activities.
Recreation
Whether sailing or power boating, West Point Lake is a boater's paradise. There are boat ramps in 34 public recreation areas around the lake, including Amity, as well as two privately owned full-service marinas. Fishing is one of the most popular activities on the lake. A dozen creeks and more than 40 square miles of lake provide plenty of good fishing spots for the thousands of anglers who fish here regularly. The lake abounds with bass, catfish, crappie and bream. Bank fishing is excellent at many locations, including public fishing piers at Hardley Creek, Rocky Point and McGee Bridge parks. Several trails wind along the lake and through the landscape, including the Lakeside Trail, which is perfect for mountain biking. A wildlife management area of nearly 10,000 acres, located at the upper end of the lake, provides habitat for many types of wildlife.
Facilities
Amity Campground offers 75 reservable campsites, most of which have electric and water hookups; there are also a few tent-only, non-electric sites. Basketball and tennis courts and a playground provide additional recreation opportunities for guests.
Natural Features
Surrounded by rolling fields and deep forests that display outstanding fall foliage, West Point Lake extends 35 miles along the Chattahoochee River on the Alabama-Georgia state line. The campground is forested and sits on the shore overlooking the 25,900-acre lake.
Nearby Attractions
The lake offers 21 day-use parks.
