5 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground allows pets throughout its extensive grounds with 40 campsites spread across wooded terrain. Dogs must remain leashed in all camping areas including the lakeside sites. The park maintains several pet-friendly accommodation options spanning tent sites, RV hookups with 50-amp service, and cabin rentals. Most sites provide adequate space for pets with grassy areas behind certain spots specifically suited for walking dogs. The campground features clean, well-maintained facilities including bathhouses and shower areas. Sites come equipped with fire rings, picnic tables, and water/electric hookups, with some offering full sewer connections.
Dog owners appreciate the park's five miles of hiking trails that wind through forested areas and along Lake Delanor where pets can cool off. The trails offer varying difficulty levels suitable for both energetic and older dogs. Water access points throughout the park provide opportunities for dogs to wade after hikes. Park regulations require waste cleanup, with most campers respectful about maintaining cleanliness. The campground's layout provides good separation between sites, reducing potential pet conflicts. Located near Pine Mountain, the park remains accessible year-round with sites shaded by mature trees, offering protection for pets during summer months. The nearby town provides basic pet supplies and veterinary services if needed during longer stays.
"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."
"The campground is located on West Point Lake, where bald eagles soar."

TravelerVery nice clean campground with clean facilities. Access to the tallapoosa River for kayaking and tubing. One thing to note if if traveling I20 east to west your GPS your gos may get you off interstate one exit to soon. Go to the exit for Hwy 46 where the loves truck stop is. If your in a larger rig you will not make it from the other exit.
ScoutQuiet, secluded and peaceful. Small pond to look at and walking trails around property. Would return
ScoutClean spacious grounds… WiFi is spotty… BUT there’s cows lol
RangerWe stayed here in November 2020. Set near the Talladega National Forest, Frans has 8 sites and a 360 degree view. It is so quiet your ears hurt. All sites have a sun canopy for your tow vehicle or picnicking. There is no shower house or restrooms. The owners are RV’ers and have laid out the campsites facing west for fantastic sunsets. There are hiking trails on the property and even a trail-buggy you can schedule to use. A donation jar is available for guests who would like to contribute for the cost of operation. Daily, weekly, and a monthly rates are available. Some reviews (on other sites) might mention the road to the campsites being hard to negotiate. We had zero trouble up or down with our 55k pound 45’ Blue Bird. The website has a great list of things to do and see in the area.
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.
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.
West Point Lake provides a network of pet-friendly camping options near Wildwood, Georgia. Located along the Chattahoochee River at the Georgia-Alabama border, campsites range from 600-703 feet elevation with most situated directly on the shoreline. Many campgrounds operated by the Army Corps of Engineers feature spacious sites with water and electric hookups where dogs can access the lake from gentle, sloping banks.
Kayaking from shoreline sites: At Whitetail Ridge Campground, campers can launch kayaks directly from their sites. "We slid our kayaks in right by our campsite. Very clean and friendly staff," notes Wendy W.
Hiking the Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail: The trail passes through Amity Campground with excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. "The Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail goes thru the park which is a great hike. Lots of wildlife to see," writes Amanda D.
Visit historic attractions: Located near Pine Mountain RV Resort, Callaway Gardens and the Wild Animal Safari are popular day trips. "Very close to Calloway Gardens, FDR State Park, and Animal Safari! Nice quiet and clean sites," reports Cari P.
Spacious waterfront sites: R. Shaefer Heard Campground offers generous lakeside sites. "Lake sites are huge and well spaced out with plenty of shade and privacy, others seemed packed in (as with most parks)," notes a camper named Ward.
Private coves for swimming: Many campers value the secluded water access at Three Creeks Campground. "My favorite spots are 115 & 116. They are next to the restroom, and they are secluded in a private cove," explains Jan P.
Late checkout options: Some campgrounds offer extended departure times. "Late checkout (3pm) was so nice. Overall, a great campground. Will definitely return in the future," says Dianna B. about her experience at R. Shaefer Heard.
Gate closure restrictions: Several campgrounds restrict vehicle access overnight. "They lock the gate at 10, sharp, and tend to have some trouble with sewerage during rainy seasons," warns Jan P. about Holiday Campground.
Limited cell service: Connectivity varies throughout the area. "Verizon was weak over most of the property talk and text ok but data not so much," reports Ward about R. Shaefer Heard.
Bathroom maintenance varies: Facility quality differs significantly between campgrounds. "The bathrooms are all spotless and each area has a camp host constantly cleaning," says Everette G. about Franklin D Roosevelt State Park.
Choose sites with playground access: Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground offers family-friendly amenities. "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," explains Joshua H.
Tent campers should select specific sites: For tent camping with children, certain spots offer better water access. "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," shares Justin W.
