Nice quiet campground. The sites are well spaced and there is a cordoned swimming area and a boat ramp. The water area is nowhere near as busy as the lower part of the lake so it stays pretty calm. I haven’t had much luck fishing though! 

Chill 

My family and I have stayed at this campground twice over the past few months. The attendants were extremely welcoming and made each of our stays start with a smile. There is a small beach here that has a slow drop off that ends up at about 7 feet deep and it is well kept. The campgrounds are litter free and the restrooms are always very clean. On our 2nd stay we drove over to the Pine Mountain trail head and enjoyed about a 2 /12 mile hike up and down Pine Mountain. There are quite a few other hiking and fishing spots nearby as this campground it right on Allatoona Lake. We wil be comig back next spring for sure.

Well kept small campground

Thought we got an awesome waterfront site, but when we arrived, realized it was right off of the large boat launch parking lot by the public beach. People were constantly walking through our campsite to get to the public beach, as a short-cut, because they were too lazy to walk a little further to the public access point. If quite &amp; privacy is something you're looking for, this is not the site for you. There were other site w/ better privacy, but no water access.
