Site 204 Sep 9 to Sep 14
Site 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.

Nice COE Campground
This 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.

Great Getaway
I 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.

What a Gem
Nice 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

4.7 stars
This 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.

F. D. Roosevelt camping.
Our 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.

Close to Buc-ees and I-85!
I 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.
Guide to West Point
Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground offers convenient camping close to West Point, Georgia. Situated within the Piedmont region at elevations averaging 750 feet, this area experiences mild winters and warm summers with high humidity. The campgrounds surrounding West Point Lake feature red clay soils and mixed pine-hardwood forests that create distinct seasonal camping conditions.
What to do
Paddle the lake waters: West Point Lake's shoreline provides easy water access at R. Shaefer Heard Campground, where visitors can enjoy protected coves. "We were there back in June. 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," reports Justin W.
Explore hiking trails: The nature trails at Amity Campground lead to diverse ecosystems. "There is a nature trail within the campground that leads to a marsh where there are duck, owl, and bluebird nest boxes. There are two long boardwalks where you can walk over the marsh. There's a good chance you'll see turtles and frogs," notes Dorraine S.
Visit nearby attractions: Within a 30-minute drive from Pine Mountain RV Resort, visitors can access multiple regional attractions. "Very close to Calloway Gardens, FDR State Park, and Animal Safari! Nice quiet and clean sites," writes Cari P.
What campers like
Waterfront camping: Sites at Amity Campground offer direct lake access with good spacing. "Nice, quiet campground. Wonderful lake views from most of the sites. We love camping at Amity. It is currently only open from April to Labor Day," explains Amanda D.
Clean facilities: Chewacla State Park Campground maintains well-kept restrooms and recreation areas. "Nice hiking trails, mountain biking trails, a lake, a waterfall, and cabins. What more could you ask for all in one spot? Campground is a bit cramped, but the showers and bathrooms are clean, and the trails are well maintained," shares Rich S.
Unique glamping options: The region offers multiple glamping options beyond standard cabins. "Spacious RV/tent sites and cabins surround lake. Clean and well maintained, beautiful trails," notes Deborah D. about Franklin D Roosevelt State Park.
What you should know
Gate closures affect access: Some campgrounds restrict nighttime entry and exit. "But beware: 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. about R. Shaefer Heard.
Weather impacts: Summer heat can be intense without adequate shade. "I will admit my review is tainted because we were here in July and it was HOT! The saving grace was the big tree in our campsite (116) and the ability to float in the water," explains Suzy E.
Extra fees for additional setups: Some campgrounds charge substantially for additional tents. "BE WARNED: If you drop a tent with an RV they charge you an extra $30. If you have two tents on one site they charge you $25 for EACH tent. You might as well reserve 2 sites," warns Fran H. about Blanton Creek.
Tips for camping with families
Look for lakefront sites: Wind Creek State Park Campground offers family-friendly water access. "Check in was quick and easy. We had an amazing site with a great waterfront view perfect for sunsets. Kids thoroughly enjoyed playing at the edge of the water," shares Dianna B.
Choose campgrounds with playgrounds: Multiple recreation options keep children entertained. "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," writes Joshua H.
Consider glamping close to West Point for beginners: Elevated camping experiences reduce setup hassles for families new to outdoor recreation. "We looked at the cabins once there and think next time we will do this with the kids. The cabins are definitely the highlight here with great amenities," notes a visitor to R. Shaefer Heard.
Tips from RVers
Select sites carefully: At Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground, site selection affects comfort. "We loved our spot especially #103 in Campground 1, lots of privacy for our 21ft Lance TT. Backing in was not difficult even though we had to raise the right tire 3" to be level," advises Erin C.
Check hookup reliability: Electrical capacity varies between campgrounds. "30 amp circuit was not adequate. The breaker continually tripped while using small kitchen appliances," reports Brittany about Pine Mountain RV Resort.
Consider off-season visits: Winter camping offers a different experience with fewer crowds. "We were the only trailer in loop D. It was quiet and very enjoyable! Being right on the lake and having the ducks swim up really thrilled our dogs," shares Erin L. about glamping at Wind Creek during winter months.
