Camping near West Point Lake
West Point Lake has several good camping options along its shoreline with nice water views. Shaefer Heard Campground stands out for its year-round water and power hookups, with enough trees between campsites to give you some privacy. At Amity Campground, you can camp right by the water, making it easy to go fishing or launch your kayak. It sits right on the Alabama/Georgia border, which is kind of neat. The bathrooms at both places are kept clean, and getting water isn't a problem. You'll likely see deer and lots of birds around camp, so keep your food secure. Each site comes with the basics - a picnic table and fire ring. If you're planning a trip during summer or holidays, you should book ahead since spots fill up. Weather-wise, winters are mild but summers get really hot, with spring and fall being much more comfortable for camping. The roads to all the campgrounds are well-marked and easy to follow. You can have either a quiet trip or an active one depending on what you're in the mood for. Just remember to clean up after yourself when you leave. The mix of good facilities and pretty lake views makes camping at West Point Lake worth the trip.
