Great spot at the water

Our last two nights we stayed at the McKinney Campground in Atlanta , it was perfect for the travel back to Atlanta to deliver back the rental Van on our last day. 

We got there early afternoon from Nashville and weather was great and warm. Since we had both chill and snow over the smoky mountains and lots of rain in Nashville ,we loved this place.

We had a spot right out to the water , it was big enough for us and we could see and say hello to those around us,but did not feel tight at all.

We had electrical and water hookup

The bathhouse it was two toilets and shower ,they were big ,but had to time it when going into it otherwise wait to get in there.

We enjoyed the BBQ grill and the fire pit and the view of the water ,The girls swum in the lake

Beautiful sites on Alltoona Lake

We love our site on the water, #98. It’s a pull through site with a nice deck. Pretty busy campground (especially during spring break🤣). Great water views and easy step down to the waters edge for fishing.

In our area, the bathroom/shower combo is adequate but needs an update. The shower water must be really warm as the bathroom was like a steam room when I opened the door.

Only downsides for us was the distance to the trash dumpsters, and the dump site gets really busy. They could really use 2 trash/dump sites as this is a large campground and it stays full.

Almost Perfect

Woods, water-front, space, everything you could want in a camp sight.

You can hear the train during the day, and a touch of the interstate at night, but the serenity is absolutely impeccable. This place is absolutely hard to beat. Clean bathrooms, electricity (at our spot [93]), firewood, sand ample space between camp sites, make this place a gem. Will absolutely visit again.

Ok for a quick get away

The US Army Corp of Engineers manages McKinney Campground on Lake Allatoona near Acworth. It’s close to home, so it’s a quick trip. There are 150 tent/RV sites. Fees range from $24 - $28 per night. Some are waterfront sites and have higher rates. The sites range from 21 ft. To 60 ft., most are back-in sites, with 50 amp electric and water hookups. We were in site 136, which was pretty good size. There are 2 sand beach swimming beaches. The Campground also has showers/bathroom facilities (I counted 7 shower buildings) and a coin laundry facility. There is a a dump station available. Wildlife sightings are frequent & and there is a dock & boat ramp. Reservations can be made through the Corp of Engineers-877-444-6777. But some sites are first-come, first-served campsites that cannot be reserved. One down side is they have a limit of 2 pets per site.

Lake front sites!!

If you want lake front, they got it! Almost all sites either have a view of the lake or are right on lake Allatoona! We tent camped here on site 45 in October 2017. Evening sunsets were beautiful from our site but the walk to the restrooms was a long one. We will get a little closer next time! We rented kayaks from a local company, Murphy's,  and enjoyed time out on the lake every day! Our grandsons had a great time swimming at the beach area...yes, in Georgia you can swim in October! We will be back!!

Nice but difficult

Nice campgrpund and really enjoyed that we were on the water.

However, many of the sites are very steep and slanted and causes difficulty getting your trailer or RV into the site. Makes leveling very difficult

our preferred campgrounds

nice camp sites, lots of room between sites, most road are one way so maneuvering the campers around are easier. most sites can accommodate larger campers. nice showers.
