This was a nice state park with fantastic hiking nearby. Our site was along the back edge, and level, which we liked.

It ended up being kind of a “buddy” site (we were 309, buddies with 308) in that our tables and fire rings were in a shared space. It worked fine, but we didn’t know that. The showers and bathhouse were cleaned regularly and there was cheap laundry.

We arrived at night in a light rain an were able to find our site without trouble. There is a gate code the park called and gave us ahead of time for after 10pm but we got in just before. Our site was on the small lake and well shaded, level and plenty big for our 18’ camper. There are many nice sites with views of the lake and good distance between them. The camp host was friendly and attentive and we were able to buy ice and wood from him and he brought it to us. There is a nice and easy hiking trail right from the campground following a small stream where we saw an amazing array of fungus. Lots of other trails a short drive away. The campground was very clean. There is a playground and saw that there are canoes/kayaks/paddle boats (we did not use) and a few people fishing. The bath house is older but clean and everything worked. Would love to visit again in the spring to see the native azalea and mountain laurel in bloom.

Restrooms were kept clean, friendly camp hosts. Park trails connect you directly to Pine Mountain trail so you can hike to your hearts content. Highlight was trip to Little While House and Dowdell's Knob. A must visit for a thorough history of FDR. Pack a lunch and picnic at his favorite spot, Dowdell's Knob. Then you can hike the trails and work off your lunch. Very quiet during the week but come Friday is was packed full with families and kids.

While many of the RV site, are listed as 50 feet and some even more, many of the pull through sites, are "turn through" sites. As they have a major turn in the middle of them, making them unusable to larger RV's.
The campground roads themselves are narrow and with 1 foot drop offs right at the edge that would blow a tire, or damage a sidewall. These drop offs on the side of the campground roads, could be easily fixed, and I encourage, the park staff to do so.
Check in is up the 9 degree hill, and at the top there is no designated RV parking spots, and you have to make an 180 turn to exit check-in area, then go back down the 9 degree hill, to the campground.
If you have a camper 25 feet or smaller, then this state park if they would fix the roads would be great,
Great location, relaxing among the century old Oaks and long leaf pines, and just 2 miles away is Callaway Gardens.

Just beautiful, site 117 is a back in close to the lake. We did go and enjoy the hiking trail that goes around the campground, spent the day at Callaway Gardens and that evening saw the Christmas lights. One nights dinner was at Hunters Pub...a must do for those meat eaters. We booked for next year but did not get our past site 117 but did luck out with a FHU site.

I enjoyed staying at this campground. Sites 308 and 309 are buddy sites, but not listed as such so that was a slight surprise. The road in is a little tight and steep, but very doable. If you have any bit of a size of rig I would recommend checking in over the phone and going right to your campsite. Go back to the office if you need to pick stuff up such as your site card. I have a 40' diesel pusher with a 4 door sedan in tow, and even though there weren't many cars at the office (it was closed due to Covid) those cars were parked in spots that made it so i couldn't get out (during normal times I am sure there are even more cars). To make the turn to the out road I had to unhook my car, maneuver the RV, then hook the car back up (I was solo this weekend, if you have someone to drive the toad then it is no problem). The road is a little on the tight side once you get into the campgrounds but was doable, even with my car hooked up. Site 309 was easy to back-in, probably the most level site I have ever had! I didn't need to put any of the tires up on a board, and after dumping the air and putting the jacks down, all i had to do was put them on the ground, i never had any lights come up to tweak the leveling.I love the campground, all of the hiking, the quietness. They were redoing some sections when i was there, but only worked until 4pm on Friday and no work over the weekend. I think I irritated one of the construction guys because he was coming down the road behind me when I got to my site, he had to wait for me to unhook my car and then back in, oh well. I did have some cell signal when I arrived, and that is what my coverage is listed as below, as far as during the entire time, I am not sure because my phone got turned off. If cell service is a main concern, maybe camping isn't your thing......

As a Friends of GA State Parks Supporter, we used our 3 "free" nights at FDR State Park.
There was a lot of site construction going on, so space selection was limited when I made our reservation. Site 308 was one of the least desirable sites. It was almost a "buddy" site on both sides and directly across from the bathhouse. The site was 2 30 amp outlets with water and an open gray tank dump at the front. It was pretty level, gravel, and shaded. There was a picnic table and firepit with the adjoining sites table and firepit right next to our site. One of the biggest negatives was having so much campfire smoke so close. The drive through the campground was narrow and required caution with tree branches.
The plusses were the variety of things to do even with an almost complete shutdown due to Covid-19. There are many good hiking trails that were well marked and maintained. We found a number of geocaches along the trails. There are trail rides at the Roosevelt stables which we did (we had an extremely inexperienced guide who was panicking throughout the ride, but the trails were interesting otherwise). And Callaway Gardens was close by and open for bicycling and walking.
Verizon service was fine for streaming without a booster.

This is my second review in under a year. This remains a favorite state park. Only had two nights last August and limited time for exploring the available trails but have done over ten miles of hiking this trip. The campground is undergoing major renovations closing temporarily a whole section of sites that overlook Lake Delanor while clearing out trees to create a couple new lakeside sites. That work has been noisy but only during the day when we were on our way to exploring the hiking options. The trading post is closed for renovations as well which is inconvenient as it’s the closest place to resupply. We seem to be here right before their busiest time so services are sketch. Even with those negatives I highly recommend this park campground. Pine Mountain Trail winds through the park 23 miles we hiked 10+ of them. Particularly beautiful is Wolf Den Loop which runs 6.7 miles of relatively easy hiking and includes several waterfalls. Trails are extremely well marked and maintained by the Pine Mountain Trail Assoc. kudos to them.

Despite the site listing as only having 30 amps we were pleasantly surprised to find it had 50 amps as well. This was great because it was hot! This campground is a great place to stay for visiting Callaway Gardens and FDRs Little White House. We enjoyed bike riding and hiking there.

Our site was near the water with an great view. Nice quite and relaxing.
We have a gas class a and it is a descent hill to climb to the entrance as well as a decline back down to the campsites.
The bank of the lake by the table is very steep and can be an issue for some.
