We stopped here on the way home for one night. Our campsite was next to the lake and the sunset over the lake was amazing! We were in a pull through site which was kind of small for our 5th wheel. Utilities were as expected and cell coverage was good enough. Amazing campground for the price!

Many sites are spacious, shady, and on reservoir. However the natural setting is rudely interrupted by loud speeding boats. There is no awareness of 10:00pm Quiet, nor of Dark Skies to aid wildlife. One late night a loud verbal argument broke out. Scary to think guns could be involved. There is a hiking trail, but trailhead is over 1 mi from campground. Bathhouses not cleaned regularly and laundry harbors huge roaches. Site 13 is gravel and very unlevel. We were here for two weeks so had a knowledgeable assessment of campground.

Site 39, pull thru, stellar!! The COE campgrounds always impress and this is perfection. The park is so spread out, the lake is beautiful, the trees and surrounding areas are breathtaking. What camping is all about! We are 39 foot Class A towing an suv and easy to maneuver. They mention this site as a slope but it’s at the entrance & exit, parking spot was easily leveled with our auto jacks.
There’s a path down to the lake and there’s a sandy beach within 50 yards of this site.

The campground (CG) is fairly easy to get to as you follow the signs to West Point, Lake. Our RV GPS and Waze took us right to the West Point Project sign (per reservation email) that showed R. Shaefer Heard CG. Check-in at the gate was quick, and we proceeded to back-in site 106 with water and electric (50/30/20 AMP). The site entrance is lined with railroad ties, so we had to be precise with our backing. However, the road turns at the site, so you get a straight shot to back in. The reservation website states that the site is limited to a 30’ RV. We had zero problems fitting in, leveling, and parking our 39’ 5th wheel and F450. Site 106 is on the end of a row, so it has plenty of privacy, plus right on the lake. As with most COEs, the water pressure is very good, so we used a reducer. We got 2 bars on Verizon. There’s a clear shot south for satellite, and we were able to get a shot north through mature trees for Starlink. Our site was right on the water and would be an easy launch for a kayak. As we were here in early January, we pretty much had the loop to ourselves. The last time we were here was during warmer weather a couple of years ago, and this CG was pretty much full. We enjoyed walking our dogs along the CG roads. Valley, AL, is about 10 minutes away and has a Walmart and Tractor Supply plus restaurants. We enjoyed our two-day stay.

My favorite sites are 89 and 90. I included pics. The least desirable are 66 and 67 because they overlook the boat ramp parking lot and it brings truck noise and a lighted parking lot. Some sites are narrow back in and down sites. Those are not my favorites.

The campground is well maintained, but this region of Georgia is rural with not much to offer with the exception of peace and quiet.

Check out our blog for more great insights and tips to save money, along with what to expect as well as some great local activities and resources. Also, a video has been available of a drive thru the campground and surrounding area, along with just a fun drive to the store and back. Enjoy!
