4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground offers cabin accommodations with modern amenities while maintaining a rustic atmosphere. Cabins feature electricity, refrigerators, microwaves, and heating systems for year-round comfort. Sprewell Bluff Park provides cabins with scenic views overlooking the river bluffs. A recent review noted that "cabins have great views with a back porch over the bluffs with a nice sunset vantage point." Pine Mountain RV Resort and Chewacla State Park Campground also offer cabin rentals with varying levels of amenities, from basic to fully furnished options.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The CCC-built cabins at Franklin D Roosevelt State Park feature wood-burning stoves and modern kitchens, making them suitable for extended stays. According to one visitor, "Cabin 1 was perfect for a long Thanksgiving weekend with a modern kitchen and two interior wood-burning stoves." Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during peak seasons from spring through fall. Pet policies vary by location, with some parks allowing pets in designated cabins for an additional fee.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic microwaves and mini-refrigerators to full kitchens with cooking utensils in premium cabins. The trading post at Sprewell Bluff Park stocks camping essentials and souvenirs. Franklin D Roosevelt State Park's camp store offers fishing supplies and basic groceries. For more extensive shopping, the town of Pine Mountain is approximately 15 minutes from the state park, with grocery stores and additional supplies.
"Several projects done by the CCC. 40 miles of trails to hike/bike. A CCC built pond where you can rent paddle boats or bring your own kayak or canoe. "

"Beautiful lake side campground! Level sites, fishing!"
"We had lake front site #6. Had our kayak and small fishing boat at site shore. Our golden retrievers loved being at the water. Sites are very large with good space between them."

"The primitive sites (for tents) were a bit close and not as private as I like. "
"Chattahoochee Bend state park is located about 30 minutes west of Newnan, GA. It's located on the Chattahoochee river and is a surprisingly large area."
Available this weekend

"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.

Hiking trails year-round: Franklin D Roosevelt State Park offers multiple trail options through wooded terrain. "There are 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," notes a visitor who returned to the park multiple times.
Swimming options: Chewacla State Park Campground features a swimming area with a platform. "The lake has a swim platform which has an elevated diving board about 10 to 12 feet high," according to one visitor who used the facilities. The park maintains this swimming area near the campground loop.
Wildlife observation: Deer sightings occur regularly at many cabin locations. At Military Park Fort Benning Uchee Creek Army Campground and Marina, "We saw all types of wild life, deer, boar, and a variety of birds," reports a family who had their first tent camping experience there.
Riverside settings: Sprewell Bluff Park provides cabins overlooking the Flint River. "We stayed during the 4th of July weekend, it wasn't crowded and was very peaceful. Fun trails, hiking and swimming! My favorite part was watching our kids and my husband jump off the large rock into the river," shares a visitor who enjoyed the river activities.
Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness varies between parks but remains a priority. "The bathrooms were all spotless and each area has a camp host constantly cleaning," notes a camper about Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground. Many cabins feature private bathrooms, eliminating the need to use shared facilities.
Year-round accessibility: Most cabins remain open throughout winter months. "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," reports a winter visitor at R. Shaefer Heard Campground.
Reservation requirements: Peak booking periods often fill months in advance. "We reserved out spot long in advance to get a spot on the lake, please do like all campgrounds all sites are not created equal," advises a camper who stayed at R. Shaefer Heard Campground.
Gate closure policies: Some parks 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," reports a visitor who found this policy restrictive.
Internet connectivity: Signal strength varies significantly between cabin locations. "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," notes a visitor who struggled with connectivity at Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground.
Playground access: Several parks offer play equipment for children. At Pine Mountain RV Resort, "We ended up spending more time sitting and watching them just play in the grass than we really thought. The restrooms near 185 were large and very clean. They were up to date and comfortable to shower in." The resort also features "a playground, pool, hot tub, and fun mushroom splash pool."
Scavenger hunt opportunities: Structured activities keep children engaged. "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," reports a father who visited with his children.
Biking-friendly loops: Several campgrounds offer safe cycling options 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," notes a parent who appreciated the family-friendly layout.
Site selection strategy: Many RV sites require advance research for level pads. "We were on site 213 and 214. Beautiful wooded site lots of space between sites in this loop. Very short walk to lake. Loop 1 sites are lake front and lake view but more close together than we like. Sites pretty level and gravel," reports an RV camper who appreciated the spacious sites.
Electrical capacity: Power limitations affect appliance usage in some locations. "30 amp circuit was not adequate. The breaker continually tripped while using small kitchen appliances," notes a camper who experienced electrical issues.
Weather preparation: Seasonal changes require different cabin preparations. During summer stays, the shade becomes crucial: "First time I came here, I was about 12 years old. I returned when I bought my first camper at 34 years old and wanted to test it out for the first time. 3rd time, I brought my wife to show this amazing place. Great camping spots with lots of trees and a creek running through."
