The Army Corps of Engineers operates Clark Creek North Campground within Allatoona Recreation Area, providing 24 sites with water and electric hookups along Lake Allatoona's shoreline. Every campsite offers direct water access, though the steep terrain means some sites require careful navigation for larger RVs. The campground accommodates rigs up to 50 feet, but MickandKarla W. notes that "it would be wise to call the office and have them assist you in choosing a site that will accommodate a larger rig."
Mature trees provide shade and privacy between sites, creating what reviewers describe as a quiet atmosphere even during busier periods. "Most spots provide complete privacy from your neighbors because of all the trees," explains Kathy B.. The campground attracts a mix of RV and tent campers, with gravel tent pads and paved RV spots that are mostly level.
Fishing draws many visitors to the lake, while kayakers launch directly from the campground area. A swimming beach operates without lifeguards, and a public boat ramp sits across the main road. The bathhouse includes showers, restrooms, and coin-operated laundry facilities that accept credit cards. Sites feature picnic tables, fire pits, and some include grills, though not all sites have cooking equipment.
The entrance gate closes at 10:30 PM, making this a viable late arrival option for travelers on I-75. The dump station requires climbing a steep hill that may challenge longer RVs with multiple tanks. Cell coverage varies, with some campers reporting single-bar Verizon service, though Starlink users can typically find clear sky access between the trees.
The campground operates from April through early September at $34 per night, with reservations available through the Corps office. Campers can find places to camp around Acworth for extended stays in the area.
