Acworth campgrounds sit at the foothills of the North Georgia mountains with an average elevation of 980 feet, providing campers a mix of piedmont terrain and lake views. Weather patterns tend to be moderate with summer temperatures averaging in the high 80s, while winter nights can drop below freezing between December and February. RV sites in the area vary considerably in terms of privacy, shade coverage, and proximity to water access points.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Diamond Lure Campground offers excellent fishing in its on-site lake. "There's a little beach to swim in or go fishing," notes Heather L., adding that the campground features "gorgeous, peaceful walking trails that are decorated really well."
Kayaking access: Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center provides direct water access for paddlers. "Nice quiet campground along a nice quiet stream," reports Chris C., who appreciated that "the edge of the stream was nicely shaded with multiple picnic tables for everyone's use."
Hiking trails: Sweetwater Creek State Park sits just minutes from several Acworth RV parks. "There's an amazing park right across the way with huge grounds to run your dogs," mentions Brittney C., who stayed at Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve while exploring the area.
What campers like
Affordable proximity to Atlanta: Atlanta-Marietta RV Resort Park serves as a practical base for exploring the greater metro area. "While it lacks amenities of my favorite RV parks it has everything I need for when I visit. I use this park strictly for sporting events as it's close by and is relatively quiet considering how close it is to the highway," shares Mike N.
Cell service reliability: Many Acworth RV parks offer good connectivity. At Sweetwater Creek RV Park, "WiFi works great, pool was clean and good size," according to Kara A., who appreciated these amenities during a weekend stay.
Family-friendly staff: Twin Lakes RV Park receives consistently positive feedback about their customer service. "The staff was super nice and welcoming," reports Alanna W., who adds, "They have several swings overlooking the lake for a very relaxing view. You're allowed to fish in the lake, but no swimming or kayaking."
What you should know
Reservation policies: Many Acworth-area campgrounds require advance booking, especially on weekends. At The Beautiful Rock Campground, "I emailed the campground in advance to make a reservation. They told me that they don't have staff on the premise working over the weekend but that they would hold a site for us," explains Asher K.
Limited bathhouse facilities: Some RV parks near Acworth have minimal bathroom accommodations. "1 bathhouse but it was well maintained," notes Kara A. about Atlanta South RV Resort, while another camper at Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve mentioned "There is one shower and one toilet for the park."
Pet restrictions: Rules for pets vary widely between campgrounds. Some have off-leash areas while others enforce strict leash policies. One visitor at Atlanta-Marietta RV Park mentioned the campground is "pet friendly" but cautioned about neighboring dogs running off-leash.
Tips for camping with families
Beach access options: Several lakeside parks offer swimming areas perfect for children. At Diamond Lure Campground, "There's a little beach to swim in or go fishing," notes Heather L., who visited during a holiday weekend.
Playground availability: Check campground amenities before booking with kids. At Winding Waters RV Resort, "There is a large playground and huge dog run. They have a large clubhouse and ball courts," according to Christina H., making it ideal for active families.
Budget-friendly activities: Many campgrounds offer free outdoor recreation. "You can fish in the lake, kayak, or just relax," shares one visitor about options at river-adjacent sites, while another mentioned trails that are "decorated really well" for family explorations.
Tips from RVers
Site spacing considerations: When booking at Winding Waters RV Resort, be aware of site dimensions. "To say the least, it was the TIGHTEST pull thru site we have ever booked. We have never had to adjust and shimmy around in a pull thru site before," reports Christina H., who recommends requesting specific sites when possible.
Electrical capacity: Most Acworth rv parks offer 50-amp service, but availability varies. "We could not get a 50A site so reserved a 30A site. I called Sweetwater Creek and with no fuss, they rearranged things so that I could have a site with 50A," shares Art Z.
Road quality inside parks: Several campgrounds have challenging internal roads. At Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve, one camper noted "the pavement is so deteriorated that it is almost moon craters," while another mentioned "bumpy roads and not much dog walking space" at a different facility.
