ScoutWhat a charming little place. Great showers houses, propane filling station, laundry on site and lots of tails to hike or ride ATV’s but my favorite part is the farm animals and the host. They are super sweet.
GuideSite 22 full hookup. Small campground with nothing around in terms of town or business. Bathhouses were very well kept. Laundry was $1! Went to Providence Canyon SP. Very interesting hikes and sites. Watch those log trucks they move!
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.
ScoutIf I could give these guys 1/2 a star, I'd go with that. Their applaingly rude behavior truly deserves no stars. Though they advertise as a place that offers month to month business, my husband and I were offering them a guaranteed month to month business for a good bit of time while working in the area, however long they would work with us on, bouncing to another place if we exceeded their desired amount of time, and both people we spoke with- a woman one day and a man named Justin another, were very rude and"uppity/snooty". We have a 2023 Primetime Sanibel Widebody 5th wheel, 43 feet in length, very nice condition, and are two professional people(my husband an Operations Manager for a billboard company and I a Bid/Dept Manager for a Food Distributor, with a combined income of over$175k per year) and their response was"we wouldn't be a good fit" after we spoke with them guaranteeing we would abide by their strict rules. When we mentioned we may once in a blue moon babysit our grandkids while there, before I even finished my sentence, we were given a very terse response which was a strong indicator they do not want kids there. Obviously not family friendly. They mentioned not wanting"trashy trailers" and"trailer trash" type people in their campground- of which we aren't, but wow, the judgement- and that they currently have some campers they are"trying to be rid of", so camp with ease or expect to be thrown out. They want only new campers there, and royalty. I guess if you take a stab at them you'll have to see if you meet their high standards or contrarily meet their definition of"trailer trash". Beware, if your camper, though well maintianed yet only a 2021 model, you're trailer trash. Again, very picky, very high standards, strict rules, unbending, uppity, and just rude with a"holier than though" attitude. Apparently not very interested in keeping their business running either. We drove through the park on 4/20/26 and over half their campsites were empty. I wonder why. Yet, they turn down guaranteed month to month business for a time we were willing to allow them to designate. We will gladly take our business elsewhere to a much friendlier staff at a nicer, more secure campground nearby we have recently learned of- where we won't have to listen to trains pass behind us all day, and can watch kids be kids and play. Sad thing is, we've given them our business before while in Columbus, but never will again, and will tell all we know of a large group of campers we are affiliated with of their rude, snooty ways. Traveling through the area? I'd recommend staying elsewhere. Corps of Engineer parks on nearby West Point Lake(Amity, Shaefer Hard, Holiday, and WhiteTail Ridge), a campground on nearby Lake Harding(Blanton Creek), two near Fort Benning(one GA side- Camp David, the other AL side), one in Fort Benning(Uchee Creek), a KOA in nearby Americus, Ga and Auburn RV Resort in nearby Auburn, AL to name just a few. That is, unless you like to hobknob with the snooty folk.
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

Hiking at Pine Mountain: The trail systems near Hamilton provide extensive hiking options with varying difficulty levels. "First time I came here, I was about 12 years old.

Many gorgeous hiking trails, several starting from the camping area," describes a visitor to Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground.
Fishing from your campsite: Multiple campgrounds offer fishing directly from waterfront sites. "We were at camp site 35, which is in a cove and I'm not complaining of working from the hammock, overlooking West Point! The pad is right off the camper and the few feet you walk to get to the lake is easy to access," reports a visitor to Whitetail Ridge Campground.
Large, level sites: Campers consistently mention site spaciousness as a major advantage in the Hamilton area. "We had a very private site and loved it," writes one camper about Blanton Creek Campground. Another notes, "Beautiful wooded site lots of space between sites in this loop. Very short walk to lake. Sites pretty level and gravel."
Clean facilities: Facility maintenance stands out in reviews. "The bathhouse is heated and has five toilet stalls and four nicely tiled showers with benches," reports a visitor to Blanton Creek Park. Another camper at Pine Mountain RV Resort writes, "The restrooms near 185 were large and very clean. They were up to date and comfortable to shower in. Campground was the cleanest we'd ever been to."
Waterfront access: Lake views and water access rank highly among visitor experiences. "Great lake access/sunset views/boat ramp," notes a camper at Holiday Campground. Another shares, "We had a private campsite, woods on both sides and we couldn't see any other campers. The lake views were really nice, easy access to the water with our kayaks and floats."
Gate closures affect night access: Several campgrounds enforce strict gate hours. "Gates close for cars at 10pm and reopen at 7am," warns a camper at Whitetail Ridge. Another mentions, "the gate is locked shut from 10 PM to 8 AM, no exceptions unless the elderly host personally deems your emergency worthy."
Fees for additional tents: Be prepared for extra charges if bringing multiple shelters. "If you drop a tent with an RV they charge you an extra $30. If you have two tents on one site they charge you $25 for EACH tent," advises a camper at Blanton Creek Park.
Bug preparation essential: Insects can impact camping comfort. "The mosquitoes were really horrible, but otherwise we really enjoyed our stay!" notes a visitor at Holiday Campground. Pack appropriate repellent, especially during summer months.
Cell service varies by location: Connectivity fluctuates across the region. "Verizon LTE is one tiny bar, but webpages and videos load, albeit slow," reports a camper at R. Shaefer Heard Campground. Service tends to be stronger at campgrounds closer to towns.
Playgrounds and recreation areas: Several campgrounds offer dedicated family 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," shares a visitor at Franklin D Roosevelt State Park.
Child-friendly water features: Swimming options vary by campground. "There is a really nice and well maintained pool, hot tub, and splash area for small kids," notes a camper at Pine Mountain RV Resort. Another adds, "The pool area has a kids pool and hot tub along with the regular inground pool."
Bike-friendly loops: Circular campground layouts provide safe cycling for children. "We camped in campground 5 and from where our site was we could see the playground and also let our kids ride there bikes around the circle that the camp sites where on," mentions a visitor at Franklin D Roosevelt State Park.
Site selection for larger rigs: Not all sites accommodate big RVs equally. "The park is relatively small but it's very well kept. Small rigs can pretty much enjoy any spot but larger rigs need to be sure that the site is level for the length of the rig," advises a visitor to Blanton Creek Campground. "Some spots have a driveway that goes downhill from the camper and others go uphill from the camper which might be an issue for 5th wheels."
Electric service considerations: Power capacity varies between campgrounds. "30 amp circuit was not adequate. The breaker continually tripped while using small kitchen appliances," reports an RVer at Pine Mountain RV Resort. Plan power usage accordingly.
Full hookup availability: Many campsites offer water and electric but lack sewer connections. "We had 30 & 50 amp electric hookups and water. There are no sewer hookups at the sites but they do have dump stations," explains a camper at Holiday Campground.
