Holiday Campground welcomes pets at all 163 lakeside sites along West Point Lake, with nearby Pyne Road Park Campground offering 37 pet-friendly tent and RV sites. Both Corps of Engineers campgrounds maintain pet-friendly policies requiring dogs to remain leashed when outside vehicles or tents. Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park provides additional pet-friendly options with cabin accommodations accepting well-behaved dogs for an additional fee. Pine Mountain RV Resort extends pet-friendly policies to their yurts and glamping sites while Highland Marina Resort Campground allows pets at waterfront sites but prohibits them in certain cabin units. Most campgrounds require waste cleanup and limit barking during quiet hours. Guests frequently note the large, wooded sites at Holiday Campground provide privacy and ample space for dogs to rest comfortably.
West Point Lake's shoreline trails connect many pet-friendly campgrounds, with Holiday and Whitetail Ridge offering direct water access for dogs that enjoy swimming. Three Creeks Campground provides pet-friendly amenities including nearby recreational facilities that accommodate leashed dogs. Pet owners should prepare for seasonal variations, as summer heat requires additional water supplies and shaded rest areas for dogs. LaGrange Animal Hospital provides emergency veterinary services approximately 15 minutes from most lake campgrounds. Some campsites feature gentle sloping banks ideal for dogs that enjoy water activities. Several campers report mosquito problems during summer months, making pet-friendly insect repellent essential for evening comfort. Holiday Campground's group camping areas accommodate multiple families with pets, though management strictly enforces pet documentation requirements. Dog-friendly campsites near LaGrange span a wide range of settings, from open lakefront sites suited to active dogs to shaded wooded lots better suited for older or heat-sensitive pets.

Great Space
Clean spacious grounds… WiFi is spotty… BUT there’s cows lol
Lisa M.ScoutFranklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground
Site 204 Sep 9 to Sep 14
Site 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.

Nice COE Campground
This 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.

Step back in time
What 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.

Great Faciliites
A 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

Great Getaway
I 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.

Very Rude Staff - Sites directly adjacent to active train tacks
If 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.

What a Gem
Nice 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
Guide to LaGrange
R. Shaefer Heard Campground provides prime waterfront camping with spacious sites set in wooded areas. Most sites feature concrete pads that accommodate larger RVs, though length restrictions apply for units over 25 feet. The campground maintains water and electrical hookups year-round with some sites offering seclusion through natural forest barriers. Gates lock at 10 PM sharp with no entry until 8 AM, requiring campers to plan accordingly.
What to do
Kayaking and paddling from your site: At R. Shaefer Heard Campground, many waterfront sites offer direct lake access. "Tent Campers Delight - 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," notes Justin W.
Hiking on maintained trails: Franklin D Roosevelt State Park features multiple well-marked trails directly accessible from camping areas. "Many gorgeous hiking trails, several starting from the camping area. The visitor center has a real cool shop and the staff are always friendly and helpful," says Katie A. The trails accommodate various skill levels with shaded routes throughout.
Wildlife watching: Amity Campground offers a nature trail with marsh boardwalks ideal for wildlife observation. "There is a nature trail within the campground that leads to a marsh where there are duck, owl, and bluebird nest boxes. There's a good chance you'll see turtles and frogs. There are also benches for birding," explains Dorraine S. The trail connects to a two-mile hiking loop through the woods.
What campers like
Large, private sites: Whitetail Ridge Campground receives praise for site spacing. "Sites were spread out nicely and taken care of. Gates close for cars at 10pm and reopen at 7am. Felt safe," reports Des L. Many sites provide direct lake access with gradual slopes to the water.
Water access for fishing: Campsites at many dog friendly campgrounds near LaGrange feature direct water access. "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," shares Jennifer M. about Holiday Campground.
Family-friendly amenities: Pine Mountain RV Resort offers a complete pool complex with facilities for various ages. "The campground is very clean and has a great pool area. The pool area has a kids pool and hot tub along with the regular inground pool," notes Aaron C. The resort provides both paved and unpaved sites depending on location within the facility.
What you should know
Bathroom facilities vary significantly: Facilities at pet-friendly campgrounds around LaGrange range from modern to primitive. "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 R. Shaefer Heard, while Pyne Road Park gets mixed reviews: "bathrooms and property is not very clean but still nice. People that work here very polite," according to Tamara S.
Summer heat considerations: Prepare for hot conditions during peak months. "I will admit my review is tainted because we were here in July and it was HOT! The saving grace was the big tree in our campsite (116) and the ability to float in the water," explains Suzy E. about camping at R. Shaefer Heard Campground.
Cell service challenges: Signal strength varies significantly between campgrounds. "Verizon was weak over most of the property talk and text ok but data not so much," notes a camper at R. Shaefer Heard. Starlink users face additional challenges: "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."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Franklin D Roosevelt State Park provides multiple recreation options for children. "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. We camped in campground 5 and from where our site was we could see the playground," explains Joshua H.
Group camping options: Holiday Campground offers dedicated group areas for extended family gatherings. "We had one of the group sites that had 10 spots total, and used the 5 trailer sites. Our whole family camped out there and enjoyed the close proximity to each other's site. They're right across from a larger shower house on one side and the waters edge on the other," describes Jeremy N.
Water safety considerations: Many campsites feature sloping shorelines of varying steepness. "Our site was in a cove with limited views of the lake," notes Suzy E. about R. Shaefer Heard, while others mention that water access points vary significantly in quality: "The lake is down right now because they are repairing the dam so it was fun to walk along the banks."
Tips from RVers
Site selection matters: At Three Creeks Campground, full hookups include 50-amp service, but site quality varies. "The sites were not too close together, so that is a plus. A lot of full time residents, but mostly a quiet in-the-woods location. They have a mini water park, so expect some playtime noises during operation hours," advises Christopher H.
Level sites available: Many campgrounds offer concrete pads that minimize setup time. "Most all are concrete pads and level but if your camper is over 25' or so length may cause a problem," warns a camper at R. Shaefer Heard Campground, highlighting the importance of confirming site dimensions before booking.
Dump station access: While most campgrounds near LaGrange lack sewer hookups at individual sites, they maintain dump stations. "We had 30 & 50 amp electric hookups and water. There are no sewer hookups at the sites but they do have dump stations," confirms Bryan D. about Holiday Campground. Some campers recommend portable waste tanks for extended stays.
