R Shaefer Heard

Best park that we have been to. Clean, well kept with friendly helpful people! The location of the park is very convenient for shopping and exploring.

R Shaefer Heard Campground is one of our favorite places to camp in the southwest Georgia area. It is right on the lake and almost all of the sites are waterfront. There is an abundance of wildlife in the park. There are plenty of things to do in the area and it is a relaxing place to spend a weekend or longer.

Great Site with an Unobstructed and Excellent View of the Lake.

Excellent all

Summary: Nice park with some very good sites. Old but clean bathrooms. Dirt in the water. Friendly staff.

Being the late fall the weather was cool and the park was fairly empty and very quite.

We had an amazing pull through site 39 that was very private, the next campsite was barely within sight. The site has a concrete pad and is fairly level. The site has a large retain wall on the driver sides and is curved so it took some wiggling to get far enough away from the wall to open the compartment doors. The utilities are on top of the 3 or 4 ft retain wall so be prepared to climb or walk around to get up to the water and power. The area on the curb side is large, level, and covered in screening, making it very smooth and flat. The water has the typical red dirt in it that results from the park using the freeze proof hydrant which always suck a little ground water into the system resulting in red or brown water heavy with sediment. It loaded up my 1 micron filter in just 10 days.

The lake was down and it had very good water access, not sure what it would be like if the lake were full.

The staff is friendly and available.

The restrooms are very old but they are in good shape and well maintained with soap, paper towels, nice enough showers with good hot water.

Very nice place! Well spaced out sites with pleasant surroundings. We would stay here again.

Stayed one night in site 42. Plenty of room for a 37 ft 5th wheel. Site has good view of the lake from the door side of the rig. Cell coverage was good enough to stream video for smart TV. Over the air TV antenna scan produced bunches of channels. This site's popularity is understandable.

Excellent site. Great view of the water and sunsets.

Sites were very open and easily able to get our 42' 5th wheel right in. We stayed at site 18, which has a shared entry with site 19. Stayed here for a visit to Callaway Gardens and day visit up to Atlanta. Only suggestion I could make on the sites is to clearly mark which site is which on the power pedestals. Another guest was checking in at the same time as us and there was some confusion on which site was who's. Wasn't an issue, but could be for someone else. Not as close to the water to be quite waterfront in my opinion, but a short walk. Very secluded set of sites which made having the dogs with us much easier. Will definitely stay here again.
