Best Tent Camping near Fortson, GA

Spacious RV/tent sites and cabins surround lake. Clean and well maintained, beautiful trails.

Parked late one afternoon to get a driving break in road trip. Tent camping from dusk till dawn was peaceful. Lots of areas to climb though the trails.

Secluded and quiet, but 10 minutes from anything you forgot to bring. Ideal for RV'ing, this place is good for picnics, hiking, or just peaceful reflection. Tent camping is also available.

We tent camped on site 14 Spring 2017. Big campground with lots of lake front sites or views. Bath house was clean. Very relaxing and spacious sites that are spread out! We will be back!

Super well maintained tent sites. The tent footprint is elevated by railroad ties, preventing flooding and it made it very convenient to put my boots on in the morning. Established trash/food hang poles as well as picnic tables next to the fire ring with fold over grill capabilities.

Went tent camping for one night at FDR. It is very pretty. Great short or long hiking trails. They are challenging as there are some very steep parts. Walked around Lake Delanor with the kids. They had a ball. The campsites are close to each other. The whole campsite is not very big compared to others I have been to. Would not recommend a long camper here as it would be tight is some spots.

I am rather new to tent camping so I really appreciated the helpful folks running the camping area.  Each spot had electricity, water, great internet, picnic table and places to build a fire.  Each site is shielded from the next by trees.  Bathrooms and showers are used but clean.  Clear maps available for hiking or biking.  Nice lake with swimming and boating.  Pet friendly.  Could not have asked for more or better.

We stayed at tent site 63. Park is very well maintained. Camp hosts were especially accommodating and helped us get a great spot without reservations on Labor day weekend. Our site was right on the waterfront with plenty of firewood available in the surrounding woods. Not all bath houses have showers but they were all well maintained. We would definitely go again!

I stayed here in my NoBo 16.2 camper for almost 6 weeks waiting on a house. The site is clean. Cable, electric, water and sewer. The wifi has been out for a while. Tent sites and cabins also available. Lots of wildlife. If you're into C130s flying over due to being in close proximity to the US Army Airborne School, this is the place for you.

Nice hiking trails here. Mountain biking is also allowed on many of the trails. Trails are along the lake, along the creek, and in the woods. Trail map is well done and helpful. Easy to get to this state park that is not far from interstate hwy I-85 near Auburn, AL. Some pictures attached taken while hiking and sight seeing. Both RV camping and primitive tent camping can be done here. Cabins/cottages can also be rented.

Tent camped on site 611 with water and electric.Very close to clean showers. Showers have two private family rooms for added privacy. The 600 series sites appear to be new. Friends used full hookup, pull-through RV just across road. Many shady spots.

Lots of trails in park. President Roosevelt had favorite overlook in park which now has his statue. FDR Little White House and museum are very interesting and only a few minutes away in Warm Springs. Pine Mountain is pretty small town.

I started this camping trip by booking the campsite online, which was easy enough. Problem was that we arrived to the park after their business hours and weren't sure where to go or how to go about our business. Well when we got to the Welcome Center there was a piece of paper with my name on it acknowledging our reservation with instruction on what to do next, which I thought was great! When we got to the campsite there was hardly anyone there and the view was picturesque. It was on a lake surrounded by trees. The bathrooms and showers were clean, the campsites were well kept, the people were nice, and the area was gorgeous. Only two problems that we ran in to. One, the ground where we pitched our tent was like hard gravel, so make sure if you're tent camping to bring extra cushion. And two, we forgot to bring bug spray so we were almost literally eaten alive. Other than that it was a great experience and I would absolutely recommend the park and campsite! Don't forget to check out all the history surrounding the area and in the park. We got to check out Roosevelt's little white house, the hot springs pools that he went to, and an outlook area that he often went. Really cool area.

Mostly RV’s but two different open fields for tent-hammock camping. Potable water, small store and pool on the grounds. Quite campground.

This is one of my favorite Georgia State Parks. There are many sites to choose from and there are plenty of things to do in the area. This park is great for hikers -- lots of great trails. I went with my three kids and we all had a blast.

This review is for FDR #115. Although small, this site has a commanding view of beautiful Lake Delanor. The state park allows 2 tents per site, and we couldn’t have fit 3 anyway. There was just enough room for our Tahoe in the parking area next to the tent pad. Our family enjoyed fishing, walking through the park, and visiting Dowdell’s Knob. We cooked all our meals on our grill and Coleman stove. The picnic table is large and is positioned on a new balcony area, apparently just renovated. The bathhouses are very nice and having a hot shower while camping is really fantastic. Almost every site was occupied during the weekend we were visiting and save a few loud campers on Saturday night, likely off the grid at one of the primitive sites, the main campground was absolutely quiet after 10:00 PM. Some Canadian geese and turtles visited us. The lake itself is stocked with bass and bluegill but no one was really biting. Lovely to sip on your coffee and watch the fog lift off the lake. This state park is a treasure. We loved it and hope to return someday.

Really clean. Plenty of bath houses. A number of sites directly on the lake are tent only, or very very small pull behinds. Lots of hiking but its not marked out very well. Especially if GPS brings you in the back entrance. The center to check in is about 1.5 miles from there and no signs clearly tell you were to go. But otherwise this is a beautiful place.

We camped here during a geocaching event. The campsites were a good size and we found one near a bathroom which was great since we were in a tent. The bathrooms could use a little updating but other than that the place was very nice, including the staff. The sun rises were amazing and worth getting up for. There are lots of trails to explore as well as areas and attractions nearby.

Friends and family stay at R. Shaefer Heard ofter because most of the sites are very near or overlooking the lake.

The campgrounds are open year round.

West Point Lake is a 29,000 acre lake with over 525 miles of shoreline that startles Georgia and Alabama and stretches from Franklin, GA to West Point GA.

The campground offers 117 sites with electricity and water hookups. Other amenities include a dump station, coin laundry facilities, hot showers, a boat ramp, and hiking trails.
