Rocky Point Recreation Area

Rocky Point Recreation Area is a Corps of Engineers campground on West Point Lake in Georgia, about a tenth of a mile from the town of Piedmont Heights. It is set up for short stays as well as overnight stays, with picnic sites, a boat launch and a fishing pier open year-round, and the designated swim area on the lake runs from May through Labor Day. The swim season is the main focus of the area's calendar. The rest of the facilities stay open all year, so there's no single season when the park is closed. For planning a visit, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times, with typical highs around 82°F in May and 84°F in September, according to averages from a nearby weather station at West Point. July and August typically reach the low 90s. Because the site is unstaffed, contact is handled through the main office at (706) 645-2937. Reservations require a 14-day notice for a refund, and cancellations after the reservation date are non-refundable, including for weather-related issues. No campsites at the park are listed as accessible. Nearby, Long Cane Recreation Area sits just 0.2 miles away, and Veasey Creek Park is about 1.6 miles off across the Alabama line. Whitetail Ridge is roughly 2.3 miles away, and the Red Cloud Loop hike lies about 4.4 miles from the park.
