Reviews

Walter F. George Lake's campgrounds remain popular for their lakeside beauty and friendly staff, with particular praise for sites like Hardridge Creek and White Oak Campground. However, recent feedback highlights significant concerns about grass maintenance, bathhouse conditions including lack of air conditioning and cleanliness, and some infrastructure issues such as the boat ramp. While many campers enjoy the peaceful setting and good location, maintenance and upkeep have been inconsistent, impacting the overall experience.

We stayed in site 007 in a 35 ft 5th wheel trailer. There was a slight descent to the mostly level concrete pad where our camper fit perfectly. There was a large open area and access to the river from our site. It was very quiet. The camp is very clean. Bring provisions and gas-up. It's a half an hour to the grocery and gas stations.

We were in site 6 it was a great site for us but we had a 17 ft camper that fit great in the spot. Lots of shade. The bathhouse on that end was out of service . Camp host said it had been out a while. There was other bath houses to use. The lake was very big and we will probably go back.

We’ve loved this park for years. Great place for bike riding, boating and fishing. Nearby towns of Georgetown, Abbeville and Eufaula provide shopping and eating options. Several parks are nearby and are worth the trip such as Kolomoki State Park, Providence Canyon State Park, and Lakepoint State Park which has a good restaurant.

Keep your options open
