Bluff Creek Campground is situated on the shores of Walter F. George Lake on the Georgia and Alabama border. The lake is a great place to get away for a week, a weekend or just an afternoon.
Boating, swimming, fishing and camping are popular activities.
The Chattahoochie River lakes are an angler's paradise, where largemouth bass, white bass, hybrids, crappie, channel catfish and bream are found. The lake's 640 miles of shoreline offer many excellent locations for bank fishing, and a boat ramp is conveniently located nearby.
The lake and its surrounding forests provide a great locale for hiking, hunting or simply observing wildlife.
The campground offers 77 sites with electric and water hookups. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, drinking water, laundry facilities, a dump station and fish cleaning station. A group picnic shelter is available on a first come, first served basis.
Walter F. George Lake, sometimes called Lake Eufaula, stretches 85 miles up the Chattahoochee River. Visitors come to relax and play among the natural beauty of the area.
The lands surrounding the lake are forested with dense stands of mixed hardwoods. A wide variety of wildlife is commonly seen, including waterfowl, deer, squirrels, rabbits, eagles, hawks, bobcats and dozens of species of songbirds.
The historic towns of Eufaula, Alabama and Cuthbert, Georgia are nearby. Eufaula boasts more than 20 structures and districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Beautiful antebellum mansions are located throughout both towns.
From Eufaula, Alabama, follow US 431 north. Turn right on State Route 165 and continue for 18 miles, then follow signs into the campground.
We had fun. The bathrooms, showers and laundry rooms were all clean. We got to see gators. The sites are hit or miss on size and privacy. Our site was huge but there was a site super close to the back of us. It didn't affect us since we were the only campers in our loop. We had water side but didn't really have good access to the water to put kayaks in but several other sites did. Bring mosquito spray! We wouldn't mind staying there again though.
We rented a campsite for the weekend. Views were nice. There was some very loud noise throughout the night. Don't expect a peaceful getaway like we were. Bathrooms were very dirty all weekend.
The only reason not 5 stars is I couldn't get to the water easily. We were in #78. Beautiful. Some choice ones with a better water view and on the main part of the river were 60, 61 and 62.
Upon arrival we were impressed. People seemed friendly and she said we could ride through first to pick a tent campsite. We didn’t like number 50 after reserving over the phone, there was no privacy whatsoever with everyone packed like sardines in their rvs and one person had a BLOW UP BOUNCY HOUSE for their children. After we picked a nice campsite away from everyone else, she THEN decided to disclose that the entire section on the east side of the park was closed. That would have been something to say up front. We settled for site 72. Bathrooms were nice and clean. When the reviews tell you that the paper mill stinks and is loud, it literally does smell TERRIBLE, like what I would think the Chernobyl chemical explosion site smelled like. And then the noise ALLL NIGHT LONG. It sounds like banging metal and reverse vehicle beeping constantly. We couldn’t leave quick enough the next morning, and even began feeling nauseous from the burning plastic smell. And my god…the dumpster area and camp areas all around smelled like an actual death camp. We tossed our trash as fast as we could, gagging our way to freedom outside of that campground. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend.
