Military Park Pointes West Army Resort (Fort Gordon)

Michael Hogue

I've been coming here since I was 7, 8 years old. I'm now 62. This rest/resort area for the military has ALWAYS been excellent in every way possible, in my opinion. It has changed, but the changes (with the exception of the loss of Pine Camp) have all been good. I really do appreciate that it is for military, veterans, our dependants & our ilk - it's always like being around family, and "at home" if you're a military person. The Marina is, I hear, excellent, and the fishing as good as it gets around much of the lake. Playgrounds are VERY nice & very modern in some of the areas. While the Beach area *used* to be "all sand" with a dock way off in the water, it is still nice, though the area underwater is silty clay rock. You might want to wear some shoes for wading, especially if you're a tenderfoot. (I am.) I am also a fan of the beach area, soooo . . . You can find a nice set of pavilions there, plus a somewhat limited concession, plus gobs of picnic tables. A great place to relax, celebrate, hold a quiet party (be respectful of other guests.) There USED to be changing rooms, but they appear to be gone; however, there are gender assigned bathrooms. PLENTY of trash cans, so hey! - use 'em. It's a nice place to be. Picnic areas and camping grounds abound, and they are all well serviced & taken care of. There is a large "Conference Center" which can also be rented for parties, official events, and WEDDINGS. :-D I know THAT because my daughter got married there! :-) It is very pretty with nicely groomed grounds, and very well taken care of. There are a lot more amenities, activities, rentals, etc. that we, the military personnel (and their dependants!) can use - a nice place to get AWAY from the pressures of military life, spousal deployment (especially if you've got kids! Like my mother did, LOL!) - or away from post for a break from military life around folks who've lived the life you have, if you've been in, or around, the military. A very relaxing & restful place - or one for excitement if you're into boating, fishing, camping & all that. If you found this review helpful, please leave a 'thumbs-up' so I know that I am not just wasting my time here posting some detailed reviews to help you

We have been coming here for almost 20 years. Absolutely love the area, good camp sites and amenities. However some the camp host are reaping the benefits of a host without fulfilling the duties. 2 camp hosts at each RV area, one that picks up trash daily and one that is supposed to maintain the restrooms. We typically stay at area 2, and Richard is on it when it comes to picking up trash daily, making sure everyone is good. As for the other host...Absolutely worthless! The bathrooms were NEVER cleaned. We checked them before Memorial weekend all way up to June 3rd. They had their "Host out" sign the entire time, yet they were there, outside being loud at 5:30am, junk everywhere as if they've "lived" there for years. The men's bathroom did not have toilet paper for at least 10 days, a urinal screen on the counter in the women's bathroom, trash overflowing everywhere. Unsanitary and absolutely disgusting!

Decent bang for your buck at these cabins. Great little secluded area on the lake with lots of room for kids to run around and explore. There is also a wonderful park a few miles up the road with a lake view, shade, and great playground equipment. The cabin had a full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2 pull out couches (one in the living room and another in the loft). Although the springs/support pieces on one pullout bed were completely shot and no longer attached to the frame, leaving the pull out bed unusable. The cabin was great but could definitely use a deep clean, there was dust on nearly every surface, an abundance of cobwebs, dead bugs in windowsills, and spiderwebs galore. We were told that these cabins book out solid 6 months in advance when we booked it, but out of the 5 cabins in the loop there were only 2 occupied the weekend we stayed and from the state of the cabin it didn’t appear that it had been stayed in for a while. The cabin provided fairly basic amenities but you will need to bring a few things for extended stays such as extra garbage bags, toilet paper, paper towels, coffee filters, an oven mitt and a can opener. Utensils, cookware, cups and plates were provided but were very well used and mismatched. There were a few safety concerns for staying with young children such as a spindle missing from the loft railing and the upstairs window not being able to latch/lock and having a loose screen, but we blocked off the stairs so our toddler couldn’t access those areas. Overall this was a lovely setting to “rough it” at the lake, not nearly as luxurious as a hotel but a fun and affordable environment to relax in for a weekend.

Gravel sites that are mostly level. Fairly clean bathrooms with showers available. 2 washers and dryer $1.50 for wash $1 for dry and they worked well. Beautiful area to relax with mostly quiet days. The weekend can be busy. We spent a month here and really enjoyed the water. 3J is a large area with shade all day however when it rains it has a lot of water that runs through the site.

The RV park was very nice most was near the water they also had great spots for fishing the only problem I had was the laundry area it really needed pressure washed on the outside there were spider webs and spider eggs every where other then that I would definitely come back

We stopped at Pointes West for 2 nights. We were headed from the Panhandle in Fl to NC. What a great surprise! Absolutely wonderful place to get away from the city and enjoy nature. Beautifully kept resort. Nice place to bicycle, walk, kyak, fish and rent a boat. Only 29 miles from Agusta!

We spent 5 nights at the 2R campsite and loved our entire stay. We didn't use the bathhouse but there was one there to use. Our whole experience was very positive from making our reservation to check in and check out. Staff was courteous and professional. We did not use any amenities but plan to return and do just that in the near future.

Pointes West was by far a GEM to find. It was quiet and peaceful and the sites were great. The water pressure was outstanding, the power and sewer in campsite 3 was great! Nice place to hike, run or go for bike rides. Although we did not fish, the water was right there and I am sure that would have added to the great time we had. The only downside that we could find, was no shower buildings close by, no cable TV and we could not stay longer. Other than that, we HIGHLY recommend this hidden gem of a campsite at a great nightly rate.

Been coming here for 14 years ❤❤❤it. The cabins, the cottages, rental campers and the hotel are awesome! Not to mention the fishing opportunities and the awesome views of the lake simply mesmerizing!!!❤❤❤

Nice/beautiful facility. Some RV sites more spacious. Nice beach area. One guy in the office was pretty rude when we asked for information.
