This pet-friendly campground provides 117 campsites for tents and RVs with water and electric hookups, and includes handicap sites, single and double sites, waterfront sites, and paved back-in and pull-through drives from 25 to 107 feet. Each site permits up to eight campers and four vehicles. The campground is located within R.

From West Point, Georgia, take U.S. Highway 29 north for 4 miles, then turn left The West Point Project sign and then travel a short distance to a right turn, into the campground entrance.
Campsite fees for reservations made after January 1, 2021 will be increased. Single campsites with water and electricity rent for $30.00 per night while double campsites will rent for $60.00 per night.
West Point Lake campgrounds will accept payment by credit card, debit card or prepaid credit card only. No other form of payment will be accepted. This change will streamline financial transactions, provide quicker processing of refunds and enhance gatehouse operations. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your business this camping season.
Reservations are recommended but not required. Reservations made by phone must be made at least four days in advance.
Lots of different campsites to choose from. They have a few that are doubles, so if you have family coming with another rv or camper then these would be in your favor to reserve. Our site on the lake was just right! The entrance/exit gate is padlocked at 10pm. So if you have to go to work early, then you need to park outside of the locked gate. They didn't take too kindly to us waking them up at 5am to leave. But they let us out. Just remember don't call that number unless it's an emergency, working is not an emergency they told us!
This campground is so clean and a great place to relax and enjoy with family and friends. The attendants have always been so friendly and helpful each year we have visited.
Great place to bring the family and animals.... Nice and quiet can really relax this time of year.
Very clean, quiet, warm swimming, fishing, paved parking. Fresh water spickets, Rv dump station, maps avail, attentive camp hosts.
Beautiful little park — nice sites with electric and water - had a trunk or treat going on and everyone had their sites decorated for Halloween. I felt like a Scrooge since I don’t / didn’t have any decorations out. (I will know next time)
