The people who run the park are very nice. The park is just lackluster. Sites are mostly pull thru with no shade. Lots of run down mobile homes in the back but I never saw anyone from there. Hookups were fine. But the road noise at night was bothersome. It is fine for a stop over but definitely not a campers paradise. We use to love to come to the area but warm springs and pine mountain seems to have pretty much dried up. Had a very hard time finding a place to eat for dinner. So sad. We hope to never be back. - freedmskr

We stayed here 1 night in Oct. 2013. The host was very nice and helpful. It appears that most of the sites are pull thru's with both shady and open sites. The bath house is set up with 4 individual and private bath rooms, each room is large, clean and well equipped, nice laundry and nice pool. The grounds and facilities were all maintained in a neat, clean and operational manner. Very convenient to Warm Springs and about 18 miles to town of Pine Mountain. If I return to area I would certainly stay here again. - trav

Mr. Ramsey works very hard to keep this campground nice. We have a 42' motorhome with Wingard satellite on top. The spot immediately behind the swimming pool (which was opening up in a day or two) accommodated our needs very nicely. Yes, there are a number of permanent residents but we met several very nice folks. Very quiet and peaceful. We were here two nights to visit the Little White House in Warm Springs. We highly recommend that you drive over to Manchester (5 miles away) to shop or eat. Don't miss the cafe buffet restaurant in the downtown area. Their cook is the greatest: home cooking for sure!! - JuAutry

Lots of rotted timbers in sites and some sharp metal that could potentially damage tires. - epperson1

One night stay in transit to Florida. Based on previous reviews, requested a 40' site so we could stay in Loop 500, which was a good decision. Site was spacious, private, shady and had electric and water. On a Monday, only 3 others campers in the loop including the host who we never saw: LOL. Understand it started to thunderstorm 30 minutes after arriving. Speaking of which, be careful which site you choose as flooding seemed to be an issue on some sites. Pleasant and adequate overnight stay although would have liked to seen a ranger or host make security rounds. Giving them the benefit of the doubt because of weather. Route 190/354 and going thru the "Back Gate" was a better drive in/out of the CG than going up Lake Delanor Rd across from the Visitors Center. - Breezy2

We stayed at F. D. Roosevelt State Park in late April/early May for a total of 15 nights (one extra night approved by manager). We love state parks for the feel of being in the woods instead of a parking lot and this campground had plenty of that! There were several loops to camp in, some with lake views, but we chose loop 500 for the large private sites. We had a nice pull-through site with a ton of space between our neighbors on both sides. Neighbors across the street were staggered, so there was no one directly across the street from us. We loved hearing the huge variety of songbirds in this park! They serenaded us all day and night. We saw a really strange squirrel-like creature that we asked about and were told it was a fox squirrel. Had never seen one before and only saw the one on that day and never saw another. We never saw deer or other wildlife (beside squirrels and birds), but it was very quiet and peaceful. There was an older bath house on our loop and there are trails to it from every campsite. The camp hosts kept the bathhouses very clean, but one shower stall backed up and seemed in danger of flowing over the one time I used that stall (there were only two in the ladies'). Mentioned to the camp hosts that said they had told maintenance about it. We were lucky to be camping there before peak season and the campground was basically empty except for the weekends. This is a beautiful park, with lots and lots of hiking trails, some right from the campground. Callaway Gardens is next door and has miles of bike trails, which we took advantage of three different times (there is an entrance fee, but if you go more than once, an annual pass is a better deal). The gray water dump stations spaced conveniently around each loop saved us from towing our blue boy over to the dump station at least twice during our stay. All in all, a great place to spend a day, a week or longer! - LZee11

Nice park, older shaded area has washed out gravel roads. Some sites concrete pad, table. Cable was not working. Some sites gravel. New area concrete pads no shade. Pool and facilities good. Overpriced at $52 but otherwise nice place. - Schoemer

Park was fairly empty when we were here but it was during the week. Staff was very helpful with what to do and what to see. Pool area was very nice that included a kiddie pool and spa. Not many trees in the part of the park where the pool is, so should be good for satellite. A few sites at the edge of the back area had a great view of a lake that was off the property. We traveled with our 3 grandkids and would stay again. - jimnina

Agree with other comments. WIfi was fast and strong, but the park was empty. Antenna connection was MUCH better than cable. - Homecrew

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! - woodman

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. - Stan47

Terrible! Pulled in and couldn't find anyone. Phone call only connected to answering machine. Drove into the site area and asked a man in one of the other four rigs if there was a host or employee around. He stated that a young kid just escorted him to a site less than five minutes prior. We walked back to the house/office and were finally successful in getting the kid to come out and take our money. We were especially excited about the 40 dimes we received as change! The grassy sites very unlevel. Water pressure low. Electrical boxes in bad shape. Sewer "broken" in the site we were offered. Trash was strewn all around and it appeared someone had recently used our site as a burn pit. We thought that it would at least be a quiet, country experience, but no...trains and traffic noise was significant. $11 was PA rate and still about $6 overpriced. If you're considering stopping...don't! - Full-Time Roamers

Don't bother going to this campground. It is terrible. When we arrived, there was nobody around and we just wandered about and waited. Tried telephoning them but only got voice mail. Eventually a young boy arrived having just got off the school bus! He told us to just go anywhere. Well to cut a long story short we didn't bother staying. The sites were disgusting, over grown and very uneven. We could not get anywhere near level and I was getting attacked by bugs. After several attempts to get level we decided to leave. There is no bath house and no laundry. Overall this is the worst site I have ever been on. - YTTAB

The signs are still posted along the freeway, but the owner does not seem to care whether he gets any business. When I called about site availability, he answered the phone with "Yeah?". On arrival, there was no office and he came out and took our cash as I was ready to drive away. Sites are very uneven, and poorly marked. Pull-throughs require navigating through a muddy, open field. There were a few sites with nice, level concrete pads, but they were sticking up 8 inches above the ground and had no way to get an RV on them. We won't go back. - glsurratt

We love this park. The park is in Central time and the office is on Eastern time, so have to pay attention when the gate is locked. We stayed by the lake but there are other sites that are good too. There's fishing and water activities and a small playground for the kids. It's well worth the trip to stay. Be sure you have groceries--it's a few miles to get to nearest food source. - jimdee

This park is within 30 minutes from our home, and this was our first camping trip there. We came in on Thursday afternoon and there were only 6 other campers there. Our site was a fairly isolated, very shady spot. We did not stay directly on the water, but had a great view all the same. This campground is great if you are not looking for lots to do. Fishing and boating are the main attractions here. There was a small playground though the woods but otherwise, nothing else for kids to do. The hosts were very nice and helpful. We attend church nearby, and were not sure if we would make the 1:00 checkout time. We checked with the camp hosts on Sunday morning and found that our site was not reserved for that day, so we were allowed to take our time leaving. Also, we visited the campground ahead of time and rode through to find the sites we liked before making reservations. One other thing to note is that they are not set up to take credit cards, but will take personal checks as well as cash. Even though we left past the checkout time, we sat in line at the dump station for at least 30 minutes. We enjoyed our trip, and would come again for a quick weekend. - kjh

This is a great park for relaxation. We have stayed here twice, a week in August 2004 and 2 weeks in July 2005, while my wife worked in nearby Columbus. The sites are mostly level. There are only a couple of pull-thrus. Some of the sites are a challenge to back into, especially if located on a hill. The sites on the water are fabulous with great views. You can fish right from your site. There is a boat ramp and then you can tie your boat up at your site. The sites away from the water are also nice. All sites are large, with tables and fire rings. All are shady. You are allowed to drain grey-water at most sites. A dump station is available. Most of the waterfront sites are taken on the weekends, but during the week there is often only 1-2 campers. The tent area is located on a point jutting out into the lake. These 8 campsites share a common parking area. Each has electricity, but water is at a central location. These sites are very popular. The restrooms are modern and clean. There are laundry facilities available. The hosts are very friendly. Boating and fishing are the most common activities besides relaxing. A lot of families camp here. The only playground is in a nearby day-use area. There's not much at the camp "store" besides ice. Nearest country store is about 2 miles, but most campers go to one farther away. This is a great place to spend a relaxing few days. The scenery is great, the sites are comfortable and the price is right. - StanZ
