The Pine Mountain region surrounding Warm Springs, Georgia features a blend of state park and private campgrounds with historical significance. Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park, located between Pine Mountain and Warm Springs, serves as the area's centerpiece with over 40 miles of hiking trails, a spring-fed swimming pool built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, and diverse camping options. Campers will find established sites ranging from lakefront spots at Lake Delanor to more secluded wooded areas, with both RV hookups and tent camping available. Ramsey RV Park in Warm Springs offers full hookups and monthly rates for longer stays, while dispersed camping can be found at Joe Kurz Wildlife Management Area for those seeking a more primitive experience.
Most campgrounds in the area require advance reservations, particularly during spring and fall when temperatures are most comfortable. Summer heat can be intense, with one camper noting, "I would definitely recommend and will be back, but next time will be spring or fall because summer was just too hot." The region experiences typical Georgia weather patterns with humid summers and mild winters, making year-round camping possible at many locations. Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park and several other campgrounds maintain clean facilities with bathhouses and amenities like laundry services. Cell service varies throughout the region, with some areas reporting limited connectivity even on major carriers like Verizon.
Lakefront sites throughout the area receive consistently high ratings but fill quickly during peak seasons. Many campers highlight the historical aspects of the region, particularly connections to President Roosevelt who frequented Warm Springs for its therapeutic waters. According to one visitor, "Dowdell's Knob gives a fantastic view—no wonder it was FDR's favorite picnicking site when visiting Warm Springs." The Little White House Historic Site, located minutes from most campgrounds, provides a popular day trip. Wildlife viewing opportunities include birdwatching at R. Shaefer Heard Campground on West Point Lake where bald eagles are frequently spotted. Campsites with shade are particularly valued during Georgia summers, with many reviewers noting the importance of tree cover for comfort during hot months.

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.
GuideVery crowded campground, tight sites, and dated facilities. Stayed one night on a through trip, so they let me stay with my custom built RV but they have a rule against it if you’re staying more than one night. I am not sure why because this isn’t an RV resort, it reminds me of an over crowded KOA. Good for business stay or a quick overnight but if you have a family and want room for your kids to play, I’d look elsewhere.
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.
ScoutUpdate: You need hunting, fishing, or land pass. No smoking or drinking allowed. Clean and cleared paths. All kinds of animals roaming about.
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.

Many gorgeous hiking trails, several starting from the camping area," notes one visitor at Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground.
Water activities at West Point Lake: Located 30 miles west of Warm Springs, the lake provides paddling, swimming and fishing opportunities. According to a camper at 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."
Wildlife viewing: The undeveloped areas around Warm Springs offer excellent wildlife observation opportunities. A visitor planning their trip to Joe Kurz Wildlife Management Area noted, "Ahead of my trip to Joe Kurz Wildlife Management Area, I've gathered crucial details for anyone looking to explore this serene destination," emphasizing the importance of checking hunting seasons before visiting.
Privacy between sites: Many campgrounds in the region offer well-spaced sites with natural barriers. A camper at Pine Mountain RV Resort stated, "We stayed in site 185. While it was one of the more expensive sites in the park it was well worth it... we ended up spending more time sitting and watching them just play in the grass than we really thought."

Water levels affect site quality: Reservoir fluctuations impact shoreline camping. "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," noted a Starlink user at R. Shaefer Heard Campground.
Playground proximity: Choose sites near play areas for convenience with children. A camper at Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground shared, "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."

Site levelness varies: Many campgrounds have uneven terrain requiring preparation.

Since we arrived late at night we didn't realize the amount of ants until we woke up to them crawling all over our camper."
