Pointes West Army Resort

We made our reservation on May 21, 2019 for a 9-day stay beginning June 24, 2019. There was no selected site shown on our reservation confirmation email. Before we left home, we called to ask our site number and we were told that our site was 4J. Upon our arrival, we discovered that site 4J was barely long enough for our 38 foot motorhome. And, it was so narrow, we had no room to put our lawn chairs out. We ask the staff to move us to a better site and were told we could move but we would have to move 2 more times during our 9-day stay. The campground manager came out to our site and agreed to give us a 50% discount on our stay if we did not move. We will not return to this campground again. Oh, by the way, ants were everywhere!!

This is a beautiful campground! It actually consists of multiple small camping areas, including an RV park which has rental campers and a few additional open sites (which appeared to be pull in, back out judging from the position of the hookups). Each Area is located on the water: there are dozens of small peninsulas where sites can be positioned to get good views all around! Not all areas have hookups, however. We noticed that some Areas had concrete tables; some even had concrete patio pads. The main roads are asphalt, with gravel/dirt driveways into camping areas. We were in Area 4 which seemed a little more worn than some of the other areas. It was relatively small (maybe 12-15 sites?) so would be an nice setting for several families camping together. We were in the only pull-through site -- which was right on the roadside leaving little "yard" area. There was a fire ring, grill and picnic table (wood picnic tables had seen better days) but the steep bank made it difficult to get the picnic table level without it being right up against the camper. Also could not see the water views from the front side of the camper facing the road and had to set up our chairs on the "sewer" side of the rig. Area 4 was also a little difficult to maneuver through for larger rigs since the road was a fairly tight circle with steep entrance. Most campers in that area appeared to be around 30' or so, pull behinds. We did see one motor home on the roadside site (which was a little larger than the other sites). There appeared to be some washout of gravel further down into the sites and I wondered if there may have been some earlier flood damage. However, we had full hookups with everything working as it should, grass was cut and area was clean with trash cans at each site and trash pickup. For the price, it was still the best deal around but you may want to check out some of the other areas. The overall landscape has lots of open shore areas (no swimming signs posted) for fishing, etc. and the wooded areas have been thinned out so there are plenty of spaces for walking. Also picnic areas scattered around were nice. Conference center, playground, marina, picnic shelters and green areas were new looking and all well maintained. There is something for everyone here and little towns located within 15-20 minute drive. The guard house was unmanned and we were never stopped or asked for ID other than at check-in (at the Lodge as one enters the resort). If you are a water lover, this is the place for you! Gorgeous views, with places for your boat (and storage area for your camper). Bottom line: It is a great value at the price given; with the additional senior discount, it is a steal!

Lovely campground, but some tight back in, hilly sites. We paid $14. a night (access pass) for FHU back-in site 4A. Larger rigs seem to be in area 2, but they are still back in sites. Great lake views, nice and quiet. Was able to get direct tv but there are also about 10 OTA. Laundry (2W/2D, 50 cents each) still overflows, they even ask you to space out starting times for wash. Very family friendly, lots of playgrounds. Cabins, motel, tenting, rv, rental rv's - it's all here. This campground has everything you need for some down time, location a bit off of hwy 20 but sometimes that is the idea. 

This was our first visit to this resort. The area was very nice. We stayed in one of the cabins which had a large deck over looking the lake. The cabin had two bedrooms and one bathrooms which we had to share. The TV in the cabin was very small, I wish it could have been bigger. Overall we had a wonderful time and will be back for our anniversary in March 2017. 

Well I came back.  Its still one heck of a place.  Location Location Location!  asked for spot in campground 4 and 7.  my son and a friend wanted to tent camp and these two areas are close to each other.  In campground 4 I found another beautiful spot.  It appears that the grounds keeping and maintenance staff have been steadily working since my last visit.  It is noticeable and appreciated, these folks work hard to keep this place in working order.  I had very good time, checkin easy no problems.  will be back.   If you are in this area of GA or SC, you should stay here.

This facility is full of contradictions.  At first look its a fantastic park.  The Staff is more than helpful.  I was initially assigned a spot in campground #2,  I arrived just minutes before the office closed and checkin was done without any problem, front desk very polite.  I went to my site, found two large holes in gravel pad, appears that a dully dug up the area during a particularly wet time.  the pile of disturbed gravel and the holes combined would make it impossible to get in the site.  I returned to the office after they had officially closed but before anyone had actually left.  I explained my problems with my site and requested another.  The Staff individual sat down and found me an alternate site, He went over and above what I have found at other places after closing.  The alternate site was a pull thru and its location is fantastic, I could not have asked for a better site. Now the bad. bath house, looks great is new, but not well maintained, only one of the two showers had a shower head.  NO HOT WATER.  mud dirt and mold visible. Laundry, only 2 washers and 2 dryers, room is moldy has been and in fact did flood while washers in operation.  so poor pluming, drainage, and /or up keep.  It appears that the ARMY spent considerable funds to update and set up this camp, but then did not provide the resources to maintain it properly. So appearance 5 stars, this is a beautiful camp.  Helpful office staff 5 stars, they could have told me to bad we are closed but did not, instead they worked out a solution that was better than the original. Amenities and facilities 4 lots of new construction but not much upkeep. Will be back, have already reserved spot for next Month.
