This review is not for the entire park, but just for one trail. We parked in a lot across the road…read morefrom the Callaway General Store and Café. We asked them about parking (no fee) and were returning there for lunch later anyway. We then hiked up Rt 190 about 50 yards and found the trail crossing. We opted to do the one on the left - I think it was Bentley? The one on the right was the Pine Mountain trail. The trail was a nice hike through the woods but never more than 200 yards from a main road. We followed it to a junction and turned right so as to begin the loop back. Since it had taken longer than planned already, we hiked back along Route 190 instead of another trail. In total, it was about 2.1 miles and took us from 10:45 a.m. to 12:05 p.m.! The trail was hilly with a lot of rocks so the pace was slow. I enjoyed the hike, though.

FDR State Park near Warm Springs, Georgia…read more Very nice state park with lots of nearby attractions to visit including Calloway Gardens and FDR's Little Whitehouse. The small town of Warm Springs had several little shops that were nice to walk through, even found some unique Christmas gifts. The highlight of downtown Warm Springs was the Bullock House Restaurant for their country cooking lunch buffet, a great bargain at $12.50 for the good food they serve. The park has several campsite areas, I believe were numbered as Campgrounds 1 through 5. The check-in building in a large CCC flagstone structure with a nice camp shop, but don't miss the scenic overlook out behind the building. Most rv camp sites we rode by were very wooded with good shade and seemed to be level. Each area has its own bathhouse. The one in our area was clean and offered two family restroom/shower room combinations in addition to the standard women's' and men's sides. Campsites in Campground 1 with numbers starting in the 100's are on or near a small lake. They did have some paddle boats but I didn't see any being rented so they could have been discontinued for the Winter. We did see several people fishing from the lakeshore. A Georgia license is required for fishing and the camp shop had a "Bait for Sale" sign. The CCC built Liberty Bell flagstone pool was also drained and closed for the season. A handful of the sites in Campground 1 are directly in the lake and some of those have full hookups. We were lucky to be in one of those lakefront full hookup sites. The park has several hiking trails but bikes are not allowed on them. It is a short drive to Dowdell's Knob, an overlook that FDR used to enjoy visiting and picnicing at when he was in the area. The foliage was still colorful but past its peak when we visited in mid-November. We enjoyed our stay in one of the best campsites we have had in a state park this year.

Really enjoyed our experience. We rented 3 kayaks for half the day. They drove us up to the dam and…read morewe then kayaked down. We basically had the whole river to ourselves. The amount of time it takes to get down does vary so we took less time than expected but still had fun. When I voiced a little bit of confusion on timing, they did a great job reaching out to clear things up and make them right. Definitely will be renting from them again!

We drove from Atlanta to find a fishing spot. After trying downtown Columbus, Lake Oliver and a…read morecouple of other spots with no bites, we happened on the dam at Hardley Creek Recreation Area. Some other anglers were hitting on Stripers with some Bucktail jigs. My 14 yr old son was determined he was going to get one of them so I got on Google Maps and found the nearest fishing supply store. Matt answered the phone. He was so pleasant and helpful. He told me exactly what kind of jigs we needed. He knows because he is a regular angler at that same spot. He fished for a long time without any bites. As soon as we got the jigs from Matt he caught fish on the 3rd cast. Who better to sell you the supplies than the guy that catches the fish. He showed me lots of pictures on his phone of his recent catches. The service and prices were great. I really enjoyed meeting this young man - and what a beautiful, well-stocked store he has. He will treat you just like family. Well, my son caught several large stripers with Matt's help and advice. We had a wonderful day. I hope you take time to go my and meet him and let him help you hook the big ones.

First time here! Was shocked to find available tent sites near the water a month out from booking!…read moreOpted to come here to meet a friend coming from Columbus. This location is about 30 minutes from LaGrange. It's a smaller campground area, with maybe a .75 mile radius from the center of the grounds. Keith, the front gate guy, was really awesome and helpful. Campsites are about a mile from park entrance and easy to find. They have a peninsula for tents and then separate sites for drive-up. There's a boat ramp with dock, and then 2-3 mini docks. Grounds are clean! The bathrooms are excellent with high power water in the showers, and a very nice laundry room. On the grounds, they've got a separate pavilion area about a half mile from the camp sites with day picnic tables and bathrooms. Parking is included with your stay. They also have a firewood delivery service, which is super convenient! Sites have a grill for cooking and smaller fire pit area, along with a picnic table. Beautiful views and easy access to everything. My only complaint is that the trails here are very unkempt and not easily recognizable. I had hoped for some hikes but just stuck to riding my bike. Overall, would recommend!

We came in the perfect time, while all the fall colors are putting on their best show. This park/ campground sits right along a huge lake, and the views are pretty incredible. It does cost a small bit to be able to enter the park, but there is plenty of places to stop and park and hang out once you get in. We only stayed for part of a day but you are able to fully camp there with plenty of amenities provided. Definitely a hidden place off the road, and West Point is not typically a town you accidentally pass through, but if you're ever in the area I'd highly recommend spending some time in nature with a visit here! It's sure to boost your mood!
