Water park (extra $), Roller rink ($1 on Monday; $6 I think on Fri and Sat), Laundry, Padded sites, Kids play gym, VERY FRIENDLY OWNER! Nice big lots, small lake, Monthly rental is 330/30 350/50, near West Point Lake. Great County park about .5 miles with boat ramp. Does have unpaved road in the campground. Maybe that will change soon. Great free fast wi-fi. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Owner is very nice. Yes, there are trains during the night, but we love trains. We will return. We had a site on the small lake (pond) that faces the water from the patio area, and no other RV's, though you must be a Class C or A to get into it because you have to back out. There is also a Roller Rink($), 2 300' water slides($), and batting cages($) on site. Mostly under trees, the sites are plenty shady. A few are small but mostly they are decent sized, and fairly level. (We didn't have to use any blocks at all) Typical Georgia clay roads that are in good shape other than the entry. Their flyer does not say how many sites are here. The owner is working hard on the park, and took the time to use the tractor on our site to make sure it was plenty level, and spread hay over the clay areas, once we made our reservation. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Every site near the water, nice level lots and many with plenty of shade. The only gripe I have is there are not enough showers. But oh well, you are camping, right? We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground stays very busy. Nice staff and well kept grounds. I wish they had sewer connections, but at least the dump station had two receptacles. Area is generally level and a great place to walk or ride a bike. Seemed like a lot of college kids this weekend, but campground was still peaceful the majority of the time. We will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great Campground! Our site was very large(52)! We were right on the water, so very convenient to pull boat right up to your site! Park is rather large! Saw lots of wildlife -deer, turkeys! Would definitely camp here again and recommend this campground! Camp hosts were very friendly! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice and very private. A personal favorite. Too bad we cannot store our campers there. No real businesses close by highly recommended that you bring everything you need. Also tough to get a cell signal on T-MOBILE and SPRINT. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites are all well spaced and some are very private. Just about every site has at least some shade during the day. A special NOTE regarding the bathrooms. The bath house (shower and rest room) near us was very clean and fairly new. However, there are only a few of these throughout this very large park (it is several miles from one end of the park to the other). In some loops, there was only a two stall bathroom with NO sink or apparent running water. So, if you expect a nice rest room facility near your site, make sure you locate a site near one of the bath houses and not just a rest room. The kids enjoyed seeing the many deer and turkeys that congregated near the dump station. The dump station was clean and easy to use. One final note, make sure to bring what you need with you. The park is quite a distance from any grocery store or gas station. Overall, a great park! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Lovely, shaded, so it was cool, even on hot days. Each site in the loop has a path leading to the lakeside.... beautiful setting. Picnic table provided, as well as hook to hang lantern, and a leveled gravel pad for tents. Sites are *FAIRLY* level, but our site (23) had a tough time leveling due to the slant from the road to the lake.... it was a bear!! Beautiful place, though.... make reservations ahead of time! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a Corp of Engineers Park. The sites are spacious and beautiful. We had no trouble locating a site for our 45' motor home. Finding a site where we could use our satellite was a bit more difficult. In the heat of the summer, 30 amp would not be enough but we were very comfortable and the dump site was plenty large enough for us. We would stay here again!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Hard to say whether this place is friendly. We never saw a soul. Just signs telling us where to drop our money. We called the phone number posted, but the woman who answered was nowhere near this place and knew nothing. So we deducted the Good Sam discount since they advertise on their own sign and in Trailer Life as a Good Sam park and dropped the resulting $20 in the box. There's no reason to ever come back. If the trains persist, there will be a good reason to stay away. The rumble actually shakes the motorhome slightly, and the whistle is louder than we like to have the television volume. I agree that the banners with the Bible verses are over the top considering the contrast between what they imply and the complete indifference these people seem to have to the people from whom they want to take money. It won't be us again! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Hoofer's is the most non-hospitable RV campground we have encountered in 30 years of road travel. We phoned ahead to make sure the place was open for business. The phone was answered, "Gospel Barn." I asked if this was the correct number for the RV park and was told yes. The person on the phone volunteered no information, and sounded as though she was annoyed at having been interrupted. It was easy enough to find the place, but there was absolutely nobody around to greet us, do registration, whatever. At the gate, we found a stack of registration forms that had been left out in the weather, with instructions to fill one out and put it in an ordinary tin mailbox, along with our payment. Never mind that we prefer to use credit cards, and we certainly were not going to leave a check under the circumstances. The sites, such as they are, are laid out in rows in a big open area. Since the roads were gravel, becoming overgrown, there was no way to know if any of them were pull-throughs. Because we were tired, we made camp in spite of our misgivings. We watched half a dozen others come in the gate and go through the same confusing process we did. A few truckloads of workers showed up, but it appeared they were a painting crew, just using one of the sheds on the place for storage. I have never spent the night on a Wal-mart parking lot, but I am certain I'd get a better welcome there. Bible verses posted here and there on banners were actually offensive in the context of this we-don't-give-a-damn management. I suppose you could call it salvation by post-It notes, but the place showed no evidence of anyone caring about anything other than the money they expected to collect on the occasion of their gospel or bluegrass concerts. I will drive out of my way to avoid this place in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed 1 night while traveling. There are no recreational amenities except some
weekends have Blue Grass or Gospel singing in the 'barn' which is on site. There are very, very clean restrooms and showers and nice laundry area. The
hosts were very nice. Great place to stay if in the area or traveling through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
CGID6028Whitetail Ridge Campground (West Point Lake)
This is a Corp. of Engineers Park. They are always beautifully maintained. We loved staying here with nature, directly on the Lake in a 45' motor home. Though we couldn't get in every site, there were plenty to choose from. We only had to be aware of which sites would allow us to use the Satellite. In the hot Summer months, 30 amp would not have been enough. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very laid back campground. Almost all sites are waterfront. Bathhouse was very clean and also has washer and dryer. You can pull your boats up to a majority of the sites. We did experience ants but it could have been the time of year.. It does have a playground for kids. It also has 3 double-unit campsites. Please don't forget the kids bikes and if you have a boat it would be a bonus. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Whitetail is very nice and quiet.. Very spacious.. If you go in the summer months please bring something for ants. We had treated the ground w/ powder ant stuff but did not bring any spray and they were entering the camper thru the roof area.. I guess they were falling out of the trees. Don't get me wrong w/ love the campgrounds but I guess the ant thing is due to the lack of rain.. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
