MOBILE, Ala. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, announced today that the four Corps-managed campgrounds at West Point Lake in Georgia will begin “cashless” operations in 2018. Only credit and debit cards will be accepted as payment at R. Shaefer Heard, Whitetail Ridge, Holiday and Amity Campgrounds. Other forms of payment, including checks, will no longer be accepted.
The West Point Lake Project Management Office made the decision to go cashless to streamline financial transactions, provide quicker processing of refunds and to enhance gatehouse operations. Cashless operations also provide a more secure way to conduct financial transactions and reduce the potential for theft or loss of cash funds.
For more information on the change in policy please contact the West Point Lake Project Management Office at (706) 645-2937.
All Corps-managed campsites at West Point Lake are reservable. Reservations may be made by calling 1-877-444-6777, visiting www.recreation.gov, or in person at the gatehouse.
