Fishing from your campsite, pulling a boat up directly to your pad, or casting from the bank at West Point Lake, Whitetail Ridge Campground gives anglers and water-focused campers direct access to one of Georgia's larger Army Corps of Engineers reservoirs. The campground sits within a forested setting near Lagrange, and the majority of sites either front the water or have open sightlines toward the lake. A few sites include steps down to the water's edge where the shoreline drops off enough for boats to tie up alongside.
Site layout varies considerably across the campground. The Freeman Road loop groups sites closer together, making it a reasonable fit for family or group camping. Other areas spread sites further apart, with pea gravel pads, fire rings with cooking grates, and picnic tables at each. "Almost all sites were on West Point lake or had lake views," notes Elaine H., though she adds that the bath houses can be a long walk from some sites. Comfort stations are generally described as clean and well-maintained, consistent with Corps of Engineers standards. Verizon users report solid cell coverage and usable data, which matters for campers who need connectivity. Gates close at 10 p.m. and reopen at 7 a.m.
All sites include electric and water hookups, and the campground accommodates RVs up to 75 feet with level concrete pads. A dump station sits near the exit. A boat ramp and loaner life jackets are available on site. Short nature trails provide walking routes, and bank fishing along the shoreline is productive enough that at least one reviewer pulled in a pan-sized striped bass during a September stay. Reservations are available and worth booking ahead for waterfront sites, which fill quickly.
The access road carries a rough-access designation, so tow vehicles and larger rigs should approach with that in mind. The season runs March 1 through December 1, with nightly rates between $36 and $72. Some reviewers have noted litter along the lake's shoreline, which appears to come from the broader waterway rather than the campground itself. Shopping and restaurants in LaGrange are roughly 25 minutes away. Holiday Campground, about half a mile south, gives campers another option if Whitetail Ridge is fully booked, and those open to a wider search can browse campgrounds around West Point Lake for additional availability across the reservoir.
Description
Overview
Whitetail Ridge Campground is a waterfront facility on the western shore of West Point Lake, which spans parts of Alabama and Georgia. This man-made lake has 525 miles of shoreline that provide excellent opportunities for fishing, camping, boating and other recreational activities.
Recreation
Whether sailing or power boating, West Point Lake is a boater's paradise. There are boat ramps in 34 public recreation areas around the lake, including Amity, as well as two privately owned full-service marinas. Fishing is one of the most popular activities on the lake. A dozen creeks and more than 40 square miles of lake provide plenty of good fishing spots for the thousands of anglers who fish here regularly. The lake abounds with bass, catfish, crappie and bream. Bank fishing is excellent at many locations, including public fishing piers at Hardley Creek, Rocky Point and McGee Bridge parks. Several trails wind along the lake and through the landscape, including the Lakeside Trail, which is perfect for mountain biking. A wildlife management area of nearly 10,000 acres, located at the upper end of the lake, provides habitat for many types of wildlife. This area offers excellent hunting opportunities.
Facilities
The Whitetail Ridge Campground offers 58 sites with electric and water hookups. Additional amenities include a dump station, laundry facilities and hot showers.
Natural Features
Surrounded by rolling fields and deep forests that display outstanding fall foliage, West Point Lake extends 35 miles along the Chattahoochee River on the Alabama-Georgia state line. The campground is forested and sits on the shore overlooking the 25,900-acre lake.
Nearby Attractions
The lake offers 21 day-use parks. While many people visit the lake to boat and camp, the parks offer a variety of other recreation facilities including tennis courts, ball fields, basketball courts, fishing piers with fish attractors, hiking trails and picnic shelters for individuals or large groups.
Charges & Cancellations
Changes and Cancellations: A $10.00 service fee will apply if you change or cancel your reservation. Late cancellations are subject to additional fees. For full details see R1S Reservation Policy
