F.D. Roosevelt State Park — Attraction in Durand

We have had such an amazing long weekend here I don’t even know where to start with the review! We stayed at 2 different sites in section 6 & they were both great. I would definitely not book in 2,3 or 5 if you’re tent camping bc it just feels like it far away from everything. The bathroom & shower area are exceptionally clean for a camping site. There was no hair in the shower or any real filth at all. I was super impressed with that & im very picky. Water was HOT! It was awesome. We hiked the two smaller trails & had a great time. Both were gorgeous & our family of 5 loved it. The highlight of our trip was def renting a canoe & kayak. We had a fun few hours fishing from the water & just soaking up the sun. I would say the canoes & boats need to be cleaned a little better though. My daughter ended up having a spider on her head & we had to clean it off a good bit before getting into them. But we had the best time paddling around. The park rangers were riding around & making sure everyone was safe, we liked that. I was surprised by how nice everyone followed the 10 pm quiet rule. everyone turns there lights off sharp & we had no noise problems at all . A big shout out to the main gift shop area. The older black lady was SO nice to us. Made us feel right at home & we appreciated her hospitality. The little book station outside the smaller shop was cute and we exchanged a few books during our trip! Was nice to have a playground close by! We went to the liberty bell pool on Saturday & we won’t return. It was pretty historically but the people there were not our type & so loud and obnoxious. Our kids even commented they wanted to leave because of it & they’re 4 & 6. We felt very uncomfortable & the pool water was FILTHY. We were very surprised by the high reviews there.

Overall, this was a perfect 3 night stay & we will absolutely be...

My husband and I were looking for a quick getaway to celebrate our son's 11th birthday. We love to camp as a family and we're looking for a new spots to pitch our tent for a few days. We found FD Roosevelt State Park in pine mountain Georgia and absolutely fell in love! It's nestled at the foot of the mountain with plenty of hiking trails for all levels. Beautiful Delano lake is situated on the property and great for kayaking, paddle boating, and fishing.

As far as the camping goes...

First and foremost, when I'm camping I need clean bathrooms. The bathrooms were exquisite and maintained throughout the day. So if you're like me and that's important, you're good to go.

We stayed in a standard campsite and it was outfitted with water, electricity, a large fire pit with a grill, picnic table, and a camping pad that was perfect whether you have a tent or a RV.

There was plenty of room to hang our hammocks and stare off into the forest. There is of course wildlife but mostly squirrels around the campsites.

This park is also dog friendly which was great for us because we brought along our little Chihuahua mix.

My favorite part, quiet. The campsites are spaced out enough where if you're looking for a quiet serene getaway you can definitely find it here. We also took a little bit of a tour around and noticed that there are some pioneer campsites that are back in the woods. Well they need a little TLC when she first get there they look like a great option if you're on a budget.

Overall, great stay! We will definitely be back soon and hopefully in the summer so that we can enjoy their large Liberty Bell pool.

Key point, Callaway gardens is just around the corner. If you were interested in visiting there this is a great way to stay on a budget and get to enjoy the...

I e mailed as an absolute emergency needing a place for a huge RV for the labor day weekend at the last minute, we travel the whole USA as fire hydrant inspectors and needed accommodations, well after calling everywhere finding nothing at all imagine my surprise to receive a call from FD Roosevelt state park with the answer to the horrible predicament we were in, they had literally moved ppl around to accommodate us they truly try to do anything they can to insure your stay is all they can make it, then I have a horrible toothache while my husband is an hour away on the base of Ft. Benning and can't just rush home to take me to a dentist recommended again by the wonderful people at the office at campground, they found me a dentist that could see me at 7 a.m. so my husband wouldn't miss any work, when you are this far from home and in pain and strangers take time to find you a dentist, and the most unbelievable part is they offered to take me if he was unable to, so if you are in southern Ga. And trying to decide where to stay I'll tell you where FD Roosevelt state park its beautiful the people are the nicest most accommodating people in the many many campground I've visited, so just ask for Judy, Jennifer or Donna even Gavin the park ranger took time to talk fishing with my husband while we were on a bike ride there are more in the office I've forgotten but they are all the most helpful caring people I've met in a very long time and in our line of work we meet allot of people these are genuine people so go there ask for them they will take care of you, right down to a ride to the dentist, who else does that? No one so when deciding make it this beautiful wooded,...
