Fishing is probably the most popular activity on West Point Lake. A dozen creeks and more than 40 square miles of lake provide plenty of good fishing spots for the thousands of anglers who fish here regularly. The lake abounds with bass, catfish, crappie and bream. Bank fishing is excellent at many locations, including public fishing piers at Hardley Creek Park, Rocky Point Park, and McGee Bridge Park. All of the piers provide access for persons with disabilities. Preteens and visitors with disabilities can also fish in a pond at Hardley Creek Park.

Reviews

West Point Lake campgrounds continue to be favored for their beautiful, spacious, and well-maintained lakeside sites with excellent access to water activities like fishing, boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Visitors appreciate the peaceful, shaded, and scenic environments, often noting the privacy and distance between campsites. The staff remains friendly and welcoming, contributing to a positive camping experience. However, ongoing issues with pest infestations, particularly ants, significantly impact some stays. Bathroom facilities are clean but are widely acknowledged as outdated and in need of renovation. Other concerns include inconsistent cell service, the presence of trash from previous campers, padlocked gates causing access delays, and limited privacy or shielding from nearby roads at some sites. Overall, the campgrounds offer a mostly positive and relaxing outdoor experience with continuing room for facility and amenity improvements.
