Super fun double site. We went with some friends. It was wonderful. The town of La Grange and West Point are not far. We travel to eat there sometimes and also to do a little walking and shopping. In La Grange there are several great restaurants. Nutwood winery, Nutwood in downtown, and Wild Leap Brewery are super nice and a fun hangout. Sometimes we dont leave our campsite and just hangout at the lake on our boat and Kayak with our dogs and we are fine with that too.

Friendly gate personnel... quiet, peaceful setting. Showers were good enough.
@SamanthaB42924 · Camped on May 14, 2025 at Campsite #5
Front entrance staff were super friendly and handled our arrival with a smile and willingness to answer any questions. The park is well kept and our campsite was nice and shaded, and right on the water
@StaceyM5707137 · Camped on May 13, 2025 at Campsite #22
Wow! We stayed at 88 our first time and really enjoyed it but this time we stayed at 22. It's in a cove so perfect to kayak or just enjoy the lake. You could easily pull your boat up and tie it off at this site. You are about 25 feet from the water's edge. It is a very private site and very shaded. It has a slope at the top but our 26 foot camper and truck were on flat ground. An additional area to park is attached to the site. There is no grill but we always take our own so no problem. There is a bathhouse "a rock's throw" from site and on a walk we went in to check it out. It was very clean. The attendants told us to be aware cell service in this area was not great. We had no issues with calls/texts but our hotspot for tv was not good at all. We just wanted to watch the Braves so we listened on the radio. Outside our tv never got service at all. In the camper we were able to get a connection on tv but with some occasional buffering. This has no reflection on the park though. We both have Verizon. You are within a 10 minute drive from "town" if needed. Booking our next trip soon to take the boat and do some fishing.

Each section of this park offers wonderful opportunities for walking along the waterfront. The sites are well maintained, the facilities are clean, and staff and hosts provide excellent assistance to visitors.
@ErinW1D30489F8 · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #86
Site #86 beautiful views, right on the water, easy access for fishing and swimming , nice and shady!
@RobertL7452920 · Camped on May 8, 2025 at Campsite #79
Our criterion for any place we visit is "would we go back". We would go back to this campground.
@CarlL5F92D145C · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #106
Beautiful lakeside parkBathrooms and showers are clean but need upgrades Laundry needs new machines
@RichardS712869 · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #57
A lot of the sites are steep to back in to but level where you would park. Bathrooms were old but clean. Overall the park was clean and grounds mowed. Paved roads made walking the campground pleasant. Would go back if passing through again.
@HowardT9719815 · Camped on Apr 27, 2025 at Campsite #36
Quiet, beautiful campground. The lady checking me in and out was very friendly and helpful. This is on my list and a favorite COE campground.
@DonniFF9D62753 · Camped on Apr 27, 2025 at Campsite #64
My stay was EXCELLENT except for the woman who was manning the gate. Our site was still occupied when we arrived so we had to pull off to the side and wait. You are to stay with your vehicle. We arrived 1.5 hr early and after a 4.5 hr ride, the woman at the gate didn't want me to walk 1/2mi. into the campground (my husband was still with our vehicle) to use the rest room. She wanted me to go to the day use area which was at least 2x as far. Did she think I was going to pull my trailer over there just to use the restroom? I'm all for rules, but sometimes a little leniency is in order. She was just being totally ridiculous. Glad I didn't see her for the remainder of my stay.

First time at Shaefer and we loved it. We had spot 88. It was wooded on one side and on the other you could sit and relax in camper while looking out at the lake. The next spot was not very close at all to us. If you are outside it's not shaded. That's what awnings are for though. It's very flat and easy to back into. This site does have a grill. Not all of them do. The lake was beautiful and just a few feet from the campsite. Both of us have Verizon and we had a great signal throughout our stay. We used our hotspot for tv's inside and out with no problem. Park attendants were very nice and gave us brochures for the park and the lake. We rode around to find other sites we might like even better. Going back soon to a different site to try it out, already booked. There is a Dollar General and Walmart within 15 minutes of the park. Dumpsters and dump station nicely maintained.
@CarlaS4704971 · Camped on Apr 27, 2025 at Campsite #117
This spot is good for rvs but not tents because the fire pit is right on the tent space and is way too close to the tent so it would be difficult to have a fire. There are also no trees between this lot and 116 so there is no privacy. If you rent both lots for family/friends, this is a great area!
@JoeM4444950 · Camped on Apr 24, 2025 at Campsite #4
Quite have spacious campground well maintained clean or stay on site for was excellent
@WALLACEM905688 · Camped on Apr 22, 2025 at Campsite #116
Beautiful park with sites right on the water. The volunteers were wonderful, even helped me back into my site.
@WilliamD160031 · Camped on Apr 22, 2025 at Campsite #78
Very quiet visit.
@WilliamB132333 · Camped on Apr 18, 2025 at Campsite #108
Nice campground. Only complaint was the site was not wide enough for the steps to sit on level ground. Site 108.
@VivecaH9598049 · Camped on Apr 18, 2025 at Campsite #37
We love West Point and RShaefer is our favorite campground.
@normantE0363C0 · Camped on Apr 17, 2025 at Campsite #12
The camp ground was very clean . The bathroom and shower house were both cleaned and stocked and the check-in hostess was very nice and seemed happy we were camping here. We have already booked again for next month.
@JaneR7111685 · Camped on Apr 13, 2025 at Campsite #32
Another great stay at R Shaefer Heard. Camp host at check in was excellent. Our site was very nice. First trip out with our new RV ( stayed here in the past with our previous RV) . We enjoy weekday camping at this park. Its a three hour drive from our home but is worth it.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
