LegendWe stayed at Winding Waters Riverfront RV Resort for four nights after picking up our new 5th wheel toy hauler from Three Way Campers in Marietta to thoroughly test all of the RV's systems while remaining close to the dealership if any issues arose. We followed the emailed arrival instructions, checked in quickly, and were escorted to pull-through Site 89 with full hookups. The staff was friendly, service-oriented, and very accommodating throughout our stay. We spent our first night in the pull-through before moving to a river-view back-in site. The staff initially suggested Site 190, but after we noticed it had very little yard space, they happily moved us to Site 193, which better suited our needs. The resort offers several unsecured Wi-Fi networks; we selected the strongest signal and averaged 82 Mbps download and 9 Mbps upload. We received two bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile, and our T-Mobile Home Internet worked well. We didn't bring Starlink on this trip, but with very few trees throughout the main campground, it should perform well in most sites. The pull-through sites are better spaced than many campgrounds of this type, although we still wouldn't describe them as spacious. We appreciated the PVC chairs and round tables found at many sites instead of the typical picnic table, and there are five"Paw Pen" pull-through sites with private fenced pet areas. The nearby dog park consists of two small fenced runs that are adequate for potty breaks but not really large enough to throw a ball. Although the water park and numerous family-oriented amenities are not typically what we look for in a campground, Winding Waters was an excellent place to shake down our new rig.
GuideRed Top Mountain State Park is surrounded by Altoona Lake with boat docks & marina for water sports.
GuideBathrooms are nice and clean. Sites are a good size. Some are shaded and some are not. Wifi is only at bath houses and main office.
GuideAn extremely nice campground with a pool, hot tub, swim up tiki bar. Decent bank fishing, Restaurant, very nice bait and takel shop. The bathrooms are only available at the pool area but they are extremely nice and clean, air conditioning, and an ADA shower with a shower chair.
My only complaint is about the wheelchair accessibility of the outdoor area, a few paved ADA sites would be really nice and the transition from the gravel to any paved surfaces have a curb you will have to bump over. There is no pool lift so if you need you are out of luck. I bring a battery powered floor lift chair I purchased off Amazon.
ScoutI had one of tha best times at McKinney campground.. tha water is perfect and its so pretty .. the people that runs it also was very polite and very kind.. I highly recommend this locations
GuideLots of hiking trails for all levels with beautiful views of waterfalls and canyon. Visitor center is currently under construction so check in at temporary location now. West rim campground seems more desirable, secluded, and natural. East rim campground closer to trailhead and current check on location.
GuideSite 24 has a large pad that easily fit our 14x10 tent. It is part shade; our tent received a little sun when we arrived around lunchtime, but only for a couple of hours.
Although the site is next to the walk-in tent parking lot, it sits higher than the parking area, making the parking lot barely noticeable from camp. The wooden railing and a few trees around the site helped create a sense of privacy while still preserving our view of the water. The railing also came in handy for drying towels.
The fire ring includes a cooking grate, and we loved watching the lightning bugs around our site at night. Unlike the fishing areas near the tent sites, we didn’t experience any mosquitoes around our campsite during our stay.
What stood out most about this campground was what I can only describe as being “socially secluded.” There were plenty of other campers, and many sites appeared to be occupied by families and groups camping together. You could occasionally hear laughter and conversation while walking through the campground, which made it feel welcoming and lively. Yet once back at our site, those sounds seemed to disappear. We often forgot we even had neighbors. It was a surprisingly peaceful experience and one of the things we enjoyed most about Site 24.
A gravel path from the tent parking lot leads to a small fishing area with a metal bench and a timed fish feeder, making it a great spot for anglers, especially kids wanting to catch bream/panfish. During our stay they were constantly stealing bait from our hooks until we started using size 8 hooks. Once we switched, we had the best luck fishing close to shore and caught fish one after another. Honestly, if your kids want to make their own fishing pole by tying line and a hook to a stick and yanking fish out of the water, this is the place to do it! You don’t even need worms—a ball of bread worked like a charm! 😂
⛺ The bathrooms were close enough to walk to, clean, and had lighting. However, I recommend bringing a flashlight for nighttime trips since the road leading to them is quite dark.
⛺ There is another small fishing area near the swimming beach, though we didn’t have a chance to try it.
⛺ The dumpsters are located near the swimming beach. Taking your trash on the way there is an easy way to help keep ants out of your campsite.
⛺ The camper registration tags for your site post are located on the information board beside the tent parking area.
⛺ Be aware that Game Wardens actively enforce the rule requiring everyone to be off the lake by sunset, including anglers, swimmers, and boaters.
Next time we visit, we plan to try one of the walk-in tent sites. The path appeared easy enough to navigate with a wagon loaded with camping gear from the parking lot.
ScoutThis place has a pretty spring fed lake and a pool. Very clean and an attentive staff.

Kayaking at Big Cedar Creek: Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center is known for water-based recreation with kayak rentals available onsite.

Most RV sites have little to no shade with a few shady spots on the creek side," reports Michael from Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center.
Rock climbing adventures: Cherokee Rock Village provides extensive climbing opportunities within an hour's drive of Cave Spring. "There's so many climbing routes that I love. There's near by water falls and cliff jumping called High Falls. I love going to the drive-in movie theatre near by only $15 per vehicle to watch 2 movies," notes Jess C. from Cherokee Rock Village.
Hiking canyon trails: Explore multiple hiking options at state parks within 45 minutes of Cave Spring. "The park can be spoken of in two separate sections; the East Rim and the West Rim. The East Rim is home to several cabins, the group lodge, one of the full service campgrounds, and the main trailhead," explains Stephanie J. about Cloudland Canyon State Park.
Waterfront camping: Sites along streams provide natural cooling and recreation. "Our family had a great time camping... 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," shares Jen B. about their experience at Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center.
Privacy between sites: Campers appreciate parks with adequate separation. "The campground is very shady, quiet, and relaxing. You have two lakes to fish or boat on, and several trails to hike. The bath house is very clean with washer and dryer, and your site trash is picked up daily," notes Rich H. about James H 'Sloppy' Floyd State Park.
Fishing opportunities: Several nearby parks offer shoreline and boat fishing access. "We will definitely return if/when we're in that area again," states Chris C., who enjoyed camping at Cedar Creek where "the nice gurgling stream (Big Cedar Creek) bounds the campground to the east and is a nice walk through a mowed/maintained field."
Weekday vs. weekend experience: Visitor volume affects facility cleanliness and noise levels. "Easy to book and pay online, nice (short) hiking trails, geocaching, play areas for kids, full hook ups in the upper loop. Con- weekend crowd destroyed bathrooms, sites are close together," explains Ashley W. about Coosa River Campground.
Primitive camping options: For those seeking more solitude, backcountry sites exist within an hour's drive. "The paid campground is located a couple miles before you hit the state line and makes a great spot to sleep at after 1 full day if you start at the Alabama trailhead," advises Asher K. about Chief Ladiga Trail Campground.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly across the region. "I work remotely and internet was a challenge. I have phones with Verizon and T-mobile service as well as AT&T and T-Mobile hotspots. The verizon phone was the only service that got any signal at all, and it was spotty," reports Gerri from DeSoto State Park.
Playground accessibility: Consider proximity to play areas when selecting sites. "Great pull through spots and great playground for kiddos..... very clean!" recommends nikki H. about James H 'Sloppy' Floyd State Park Campground.
Educational activities: Some parks offer structured programs for children. "If you're looking for a spot to carry your kids on one of their first trips, this would be the perfect place. They have scout activities, a Junior Ranger program, playgrounds, swimming pools, and plenty of trails to hike," advises Arden S. about DeSoto State Park.
Swimming areas: Look for campgrounds with water access suitable for children. "The 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," notes Cierra B. about Brushy Branch Campground.
Leveling challenges: Some sites require extra attention for larger rigs. "Also we found our second site 25 especially challenging to back into. There are drop off gulleys at the end of sites and maybe experienced RVers think nothing of it, but we thought it was tricky," warns Gerri about DeSoto State Park.
Water pressure issues: Be prepared for inconsistent utilities at some campgrounds. "Down side: water pressure was slightly over 40 psi which made my water pump run continuously until I just shut it off," mentions Michael about Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center.
Loop road navigation: Campground layouts may present access difficulties for larger rigs. "Park is very nice with campground, two fishing lakes, and several hiking trails. Campground loop road has a steep entrance turning in from the main road that goes through the park and the campground loop itself is very winding," cautions Kelli L. about James H 'Sloppy' Floyd State Park.
