2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several cabin options exist within state parks and private resorts near LaGrange, Georgia. Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park offers historic CCC-built cabins with modern kitchens and wood-burning stoves. "Cabin 1 was perfect for a long Thanksgiving weekend. The cabin feels both rustic and has a modern kitchen, which is great for cooking a celebratory feast," noted one visitor. Sprewell Bluff Park provides cabins with views overlooking the Flint River, featuring back porches, bunk beds, refrigerators, and microwaves. Highland Marina Resort and Pine Mountain RV Resort also offer cabin accommodations with varying amenities including electricity, running water, and basic furnishings.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during peak seasons from spring through fall. Pet policies vary by location, with many parks allowing pets with restrictions. Chattahoochee Bend State Park features four cabins with running water and electricity. A camper mentioned, "The cabins are definitely the highlight here! They have great amenities including running water and electricity." Some locations like R. Shaefer Heard Campground operate seasonally from early March through mid-October, while others remain open year-round.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from fully equipped in the FDR State Park cabins to minimal setups with only refrigerators and microwaves at Sprewell Bluff. One reviewer noted that Sprewell Bluff cabins have "extras that make them really convenient (fridge, microwave, good heating)." On-site camp stores at several locations stock basic provisions, though Pine Mountain and the town of LaGrange offer more extensive shopping options within a short drive. Firewood is available for purchase at some locations, while others prohibit outside wood to prevent pest introduction.
"This park is located on the southern end of West Point lake near the town of West Point, GA."
"COE outdid themselves with this park. Site was pretty level and only needed a few adjustments, but it’s so worth it."

from $30 / night
"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. "

"Established trash/food hang poles as well as picnic tables next to the fire ring with fold over grill capabilities."
"Cable, electric, water and sewer. The wifi has been out for a while. Tent sites and cabins also available. Lots of wildlife."
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.
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.
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.
ScoutI called on Sunday afternoon and immediately connected to a young lady who assured me that a site was available. The loop is nicely designed, full hookups, passing your target on the left (better visibility). There are glamping tents for rent. Several hiking trails, including a waterfall trail are inside the gate checkpoint. The park is close to town, meaning abundance of food options and cheap gas (2.499) on June 6, 2025.
GuideWe stayed here in June, Thursday through Monday, two people with a tent. The experience was... memorable, though not always for the right reasons.
The bathhouses are something out of a post-apocalyptic travel journal— rusted fixtures, broken tiles, and enough cockroaches and spiders to start a nature documentary. Yes, they are“cleaned” occasionally, but whatever’s happening isn’t winning the war. They’re not just in the mist of past centuries— they’re lost in a heavy, choking fog.
Facilities are very limited, and it’s clear this campground wasn’t designed with tent campers in mind. You’ll wait in line for restrooms, and you won’t enjoy it.
The sites themselves? Old, worn, and could desperately use even a single coat of fresh paint— but the lawns are mowed, and the forest is real. If you value privacy, you’ll love the layout: each site is tucked deep into the woods, with excellent space and seclusion.
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.
Starlink users: take note— if the lake is high, the shoreline disappears, and with it, any chance of a clear shot to the sky. Reception through the trees was very poor.
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.
The lake sees constant activity: motorboats, water skiing, even boats creeping along at night. It’s not peaceful water. If you came to paddle in silence or sleep early, this might not be your dream spot— unless the noisy party crowd is your own.
Cabins near LaGrange, Georgia range from lakeside retreats to historic accommodations. Located in the foothills of western Georgia, this region sits at elevations between 700-1,000 feet and experiences mild winters with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F. Many cabin sites throughout the area feature elevated platforms to prevent flooding during seasonal rain events, with peak occupancy occurring from April through October.
Hiking trails: 23+ miles of maintained paths at Pine Mountain Camp Ground provide varying difficulty levels through forested terrain. "Great hiking and camping... I go hiking here just about every month. It's phenomenal!" notes Amber C. The trails are well-marked and accessible from multiple points within the park.
Waterfront activities: Swimming platforms and diving boards available at Chewacla State Park create structured water recreation opportunities. "The lake has a swim platform which has an elevated diving board about 10 to 12 feet high," according to Tony C. Swimming areas typically open from late May through September.
Rock jumping: Natural river features at Sprewell Bluff Park create popular jumping spots. "My favorite part was watching our kids and my husband jump off the large rock into the river," mentions Renee D. Water depths vary seasonally, with optimal conditions from June through August when water levels are consistent.
Private coves: Secluded waterfront sites at R. Shaefer Heard Campground provide quieter camping experiences. Jan P. recommends specific locations: "My favorite spots are 115 & 116. They are next to the restroom, and they are secluded in a private cove." Most waterfront sites require booking 3-6 months in advance.
Wildlife viewing: Regular animal sightings throughout the camping areas enhance nature experiences. At Uchee Creek Army Campground, Taylor notes, "We saw all types of wild life, deer, boar, and a variety of birds." Morning and evening hours typically offer the best wildlife viewing opportunities.
Sunset views: Elevated cabin locations provide scenic evening vistas. According to Latika Y., Sprewell Bluff cabins have "great views with a back porch over the bluffs (with a nice sunset vantage point)." Western-facing cabins command premium rates during peak season.
Gate closure policies: Restricted nighttime access affects late arrivals at some parks. Denis P. warns about R. Shaefer Heard: "The gate is locked shut from 10 PM to 8 AM, no exceptions unless the elderly host personally deems your emergency worthy." Always confirm access policies when booking.
Bathroom facilities: Quality varies significantly between locations. "The bathhouses are something out of a post-apocalyptic travel journal— rusted fixtures, broken tiles, and enough cockroaches and spiders to start a nature documentary," reports Denis P. about one location, while Carol G. notes of Sprewell Bluff: "The bathhouse is clean."
Booking lead times: Reservation windows differ by location and season. "It took us about 6 months to get in here. Long waiting list," reports Richard M. about Banning Mills Treehouses. Holiday weekends often require bookings 6-12 months in advance.
Playgrounds: Multiple age-appropriate options for children at Chattahoochee Bend State Park. Joey P. mentions, "2 playgrounds were open. Playgrounds are brand new or at least they look brand new. I am 225 lbs and I played on all the equipment with my daughter." Playground areas typically include shade structures.
Bicycle-friendly loops: Safe riding areas within several campgrounds. At R. Shaefer Heard, Dianna B. notes, "Kids thoroughly enjoyed playing at the edge of the water," and other reviewers mention children cycling throughout the grounds. Some loops have mild hills suitable for beginners.
Tent platforms: Elevated camping areas prevent flooding issues. Justin W. recommends, "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."
Site selection: Satellite reception considerations for extended stays. Denis P. warns about R. Shaefer Heard: "Starlink users: take note— if the lake is high, the shoreline disappears, and with it, any chance of a clear shot to the sky. Reception through the trees was very poor." Most reliable reception occurs at sites 30-45.
Length restrictions: Site configurations limit larger RVs at some locations. Ward notes, "Reserved out spot long in advance to get a spot on the lake... if your camper is over 25' or so length may cause a problem." Detailed site maps with measurements are available upon request from most park offices.
Seasonal crowds: Occupancy patterns affect campground atmosphere. SJ W. reports about winter visits: "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." Off-season camping generally offers more privacy and reduced rates.
