In our area, the bathroom/shower combo is adequate but needs an update."

RangerWinding Waters is a new, huge, and beautiful RV resort. This is not a campground, but a resort-style RV park with no shortage of amenities and activities. Nightly rate is very reasonable for all the bells and whistles you get. If you are just looking for a cheap, relaxing overnight with no frills, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a fun family vacation spot to bring the kids, look no further.
Just outside Atlanta, the location is prime and beautiful, along the Etowah river. You can fish, kayak, or just relax. There is no shortage of activities for children. The resort's pool is a huge beach-style pool with a hot tub and even a huge waterslide. There is a large playground and huge dog run. They have a large clubhouse and ball courts.
We booked one of their cheaper sites, a classic pull-thru site. 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, the whole point is to pull in once and bam you're set up. We could barely even squeeze our tow vehicle (10ft bed dually) into the designated parking spot without sticking out. Even the back in sites would have been a little more roomy. But hey, for all the amenities (that we didn't even use since we were just stopping over for a night) the price isn't awful. For a bit more, you can get your own private dog run or patio furniture.
We were pretty overwhelmed with the sheer amount of RVs in this place. Mostly all big rigs too. It was packed and they have so many sites. So many kids running around, and our neighbor's dog was off leash and ran over to my dog when I tried to take him potty. There are no walking paths in the resort, so people (and kids) are forced to run around on the streets, which are pretty narrow, winding, and uncomfortable to drive a big rig on. Just in general A LOT going on, very busy place. Great place if you like resort style parks, but not fun for an overnight. Since it's new there's no shade at all, so I can't imagine how hot it is in the summer and with all the big rigs blasting their a/c, they may run into electrical issues. But they planted some trees which should alleviate that a bit.
The rules list is pretty strict and extensive, with a bunch of extra fees for weird things like early check-in and personal golf carts. Make sure you read through everything thoroughly before you book. Some rules might be deal breakers for some people. Staff was very kind to us and we wish them the best with their new RV resort!
GuideWe stayed at site 21 and had a great time. Decent bathrooms/ bath house. Sites were on the water and great sizes
TravelerPerfect time and very quiet this time of the year
ScoutNice firepit, hiking across the way. 4x4 is not required, but ground clearance makes it non-accessible to some.
ScoutThe campground host is so accommodating! It’s a small but beautiful place to park and enjoy the outdoors! There is a lake as well as boat ramp to fish. It’s quiet and relaxing. The sites aren’t squished together so it’s nice to relax outside! The only drawback is there is no laundry on site, so if you are a monthly camper like my family was, you have to go into the nearest city to wash. Other than that, I highly recommend this campground!!!
TravelerOur family had a great time camping… we are locals and this was a trial run with our new camper. The camping community here is great! The facilities are definitely dated but we didn’t have to use them so I can’t say what they were inside. The playground was fun for my kiddos although it really wasn’t age appropriate for our 3 year old twins very well. I’m not sure if it was just because it was 4/20 weekend but the only drawback was the pretty regular smell of the devils lettuce… I used to partake myself so I’m not downing any ones way of relaxing. We probably will not be back as I enjoy a little bit more family friendly environments these days.
ScoutI have been to Red Top Mountain countless times, but haven’t ever camped here until today. The campground is nice, signs are easy to follow, camp sites are in nice shape and the bathrooms are clean. Over all great campsite
ScoutThis was my first time camping at this camp site, I chose a spot off their map and let me tell you, it exceeded my expectations, just beautiful, enough privacy between campers but not so secluded for a solo camper, the employees were nice the bathrooms an showers were clean, I will definitely be back in summer or fall when there is no pollen lol!
