Picnic shelters are available for reservations at several Corps of Engineers operated day use areas at West Point Project. These facilities are ideal for family reunions, birthday parties, or company picnics. The shelters listed may be reserved by any group. They are also available for use at no charge on a first come, first served basis when not in use or reserved by another party.
Shelters may be reserved by telephone or in person beginning January 2, or the first business day after that date. To reserve a shelter by telephone, please call the Project Management Office at (706) 645-2937. Payment must be received at the time the reservation is made. The following information will be requested:
-
The name, address, and telephone number of a contact person
-
Reservation date
-
Preferred shelter
-
Credit card number, if paying by credit card
Reservation fees range from $75.00 to $150.00, based on the size of the shelter and the facilities provided. A reservation will assure your group the use of the shelter until the recreation area closes, normally at 9:00 p.m., Eastern Time. All other facilities within the area are available on first come, first served basis.
Payment of the reservation fee is required at the time the reservation is made. Reservations may be made at anytime in the year, but must be made at least 5 days in advance of the requested date. Fees may be paid with cash, personal check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. The reservation fee is not refundable.
A confirmation letter and user fee receipt will be issued to the person making the reservation. This information should be available at the shelter on the day of the reservation.
The Corps of Engineers asks your help to keep the area clean for others. Please leave the shelter area clean when you depart. Garbage cans are provided for your convenience. We also ask that you park your vehicles in designated parking spaces. Please note that alcoholic beverages are not permitted at the shelters in Earl Cook, Hardley Creek, and Rocky Point Recreation Areas.
Parking spaces may be limited near shelter areas. Additional parking may be found in adjacent locations within the park. Parking is only permitted in designated parking spaces only. Do not park on the grass.
