Whitetail Ridge

Whitetail Ridge Campground is a waterfront facility on the western shore of West Point Lake, which spans parts of Alabama and Georgia. This man-made lake has 525 miles of shoreline that provide excellent opportunities for fishing, camping, boating and other recreational activities. Whether sailing or power boating, West Point Lake is a boater's paradise, with boat ramps in 34 public recreation areas around the lake as well as two privately owned full-service marinas. Fishing is one of the most popular activities here: a dozen creeks and more than 40 square miles of lake provide plenty of good fishing spots, and the lake abounds with bass, catfish, crappie and bream. Bank fishing is excellent at many locations, including public fishing piers at Hardley Creek, Rocky Point and McGee Bridge parks. Several trails wind along the lake and through the landscape, including the Lakeside Trail, which is perfect for mountain biking. A wildlife management area of nearly 10,000 acres at the upper end of the lake provides habitat for many types of wildlife and offers excellent hunting. The campground offers 58 sites with electric and water hookups. Additional amenities include a dump station, laundry facilities and hot showers. Surrounded by rolling fields and deep forests that display outstanding fall foliage, West Point Lake extends 35 miles along the Chattahoochee River on the Alabama-Georgia state line. The campground is forested and sits on the shore overlooking the 25,900-acre lake. The lake offers 21 day-use parks. While many people visit to boat and camp, the parks offer a variety of other recreation facilities including tennis courts, ball fields, basketball courts, fishing piers with fish attractors, hiking trails and picnic shelters for individuals or large groups.
