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.
GuideThe previous reviews are outdated and so is the campground. It is so important to review every stay so we are all up to date. Bathrooms were small and dirty. Only one bathroom/shower combo for women and one for men. If someone is using the bathroom, you need to wait. This place is okay in a pinch, but that’s it.
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
ScoutQuiet, well maintained park with plenty of room between sites, it’s $5 a day paid via a drop box at the front. Also has a boat launch.
TravelerEasy site access with helpful staff & hosts activities include beautiful hiking at Providence Canyon SP, golf, nature trail, playground, jon boat rentals and local history museum.

Watercraft rentals: At Sprewell Bluff Park, visitors can enjoy the Flint River with rented equipment. "The picnic and general visitors area by the river was busy when we arrived but we still had plenty of area to explore. I did not check on watercraft rentals for the area but there was a boatramp on site and a few kayaks were in the water," reports camper Shelly S.
Kid-focused activities: Several campgrounds organize activities specifically for children. Joshua H. from Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground shares, "They have a lot of stuff to do there. We fished and swam, they also had a scavenger hunt that you kids loved doing."
Spacious, wooded sites: Blanton Creek Campground gets high marks for its well-designed camping areas. According to Liz H., "Sites are very large with good space between them. Most are shaded, level, gravel with picnic tables, large fire ring, lots of space for chairs."
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the maintenance standards across area campgrounds. Tracy from Blanton Creek Park reports, "They had the cleanest bathhouse I have ever seen and a resident who had been there a while said they clean the bathrooms several times a day."
Wildlife viewing: The natural setting offers opportunities to spot local fauna. At R. Shaefer Heard Campground, Denis P. shares, "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."
Gate closure hours: Some campgrounds restrict nighttime access. At R. Shaefer Heard Campground, "the gate is locked shut from 10 PM to 8 AM, no exceptions unless the elderly host personally deems your emergency worthy," cautions Denis P.
Seasonal flooding: Water levels can affect campsite accessibility and amenities. Denis P. notes at R. Shaefer Heard, "if the lake is high, the shoreline disappears, and with it, any chance of a clear shot to the sky."
Additional fees: Pine Mountain RV Resort has specific payment policies to be aware of. Larry M. warns, "There is only one thing I find as a negative. There new policy of full (non-refundable) payment is now required when you make your reservation. Unless you want to pay an up charge for your nightly rate."
Playground access: When selecting a site, consider proximity to play areas. Joshua H. shares about Franklin D Roosevelt State Park, "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."
Swimming options: Pine Mountain RV Resort offers multiple water recreation options for different ages. Aaron C. explains, "The pool area has a kids pool and hot tub along with the regular inground pool."
Lake activities: Choose lakefront sites for easier water access with children. Justin W. recommends R. Shaefer Heard Campground: "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 leveling: At Blanton Creek, campers note varying terrain. Stacy H. advises, "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. 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."
Electrical capacity: Some campgrounds have limitations with power. Brittany from Pine Mountain RV Resort notes, "30 amp circuit was not adequate. The breaker continually tripped while using small kitchen appliances."
Convenience stops: Plan for supplies when staying at more remote campgrounds. Brittany adds about Pine Mountain RV Resort, "We really appreciated the trash pickup twice a day and the Dollar General that was only a 1/4 mile down the road."
