4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks surround Kennesaw, Georgia, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Atlanta-Marietta RV Park in Marietta provides full hookups with 30/50 amp service, big rig access, and on-site sanitary dump facilities. Just west in Austell, Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve features spacious pull-through sites with 50 amp electrical hookups and sewer connections, though fires are not permitted. Dobbins Lakeside Campground, open year-round, accommodates larger RVs with 30 amp service and water hookups in a lakeside setting. Winding Waters RV Resort north of Kennesaw includes propane fill service, laundry facilities, and full hookup sites, though some travelers note tight spacing. "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," reported one RV owner about Winding Waters.
Most RV campgrounds in the area maintain good cell service coverage, with travelers reporting 3-5 bars on major carriers. Dump stations are available at all parks mentioned, though Twin Lakes RV Park lacks shower facilities despite offering full hookups. Navigation to these parks generally requires minimal elevation changes, making them accessible for larger motorhomes and fifth wheels. Pet policies vary by location - most parks allow pets with a two-pet limit at some Corps of Engineers campgrounds. Summer months see higher occupancy rates, particularly at lakeside locations. One traveler noted about nearby McKinney Campground: "The sites range from 21 ft. to 60 ft., most are back-in sites, with 50 amp electric and water hookups." RV parks closer to Atlanta tend to have more long-term residents and fewer amenities compared to resort-style parks farther from the city.
"While it lacks amenities of my favorite RV parks it has everything I need for when I visit."
"Nice resort and it’s close to the battery where the braves play baseball. The pizza place is soooo yummy, make sure you check it out. There are so many little ponds nearby and such cute little homes."

"Friendly staff willing to assist in many ways as you would expect from a family owned park."
"Luckily they had one full hookup site left for us. You can book sites daily or monthly. When you’re heading to the campsite be cautious of the road you need to turn at because they don’t have a sign."
"My wife and I stayed at this campground with another couple who are friends of ours from Atlanta while bike packing parts of the Silver Comet Trail."
"There is 1 store outside the campsite. When we got there, a group of bicyclers were there with no masks. I get it but it still made me uneasy."

from $93 / night
"We parked our 22ft travel trailer at site 30 which was bounded to the north and east by the tent camping area. "
"Quiet campground on Cedar Creek. The spots by the office are close to the highway, but it isn’t that busy or loud. Very family oriented and peaceful. The only bad thing …. the flies!"

"Nice quiet place & pet friendly too!"
from $30 - $50 / night
ScoutA great find to hang your hat for the evening. New owners look like they are doing amazing up grades. Our site 57 didn’t have a picnic table or fire ring but I’m sure they are working on it. Fairly quite and we would for sure come back and give it a 5 star when their done on the remodel.
TravelerWelcome center is nice, but the roads and asphalt sites are crumbling. We had a back in site that was fairly level. No real privacy from neighboring sites.
TravelerWay too many rules to have to abide by. It’s not a day use area, so you HAVE to camp over night or else they threaten to ban you from all FoCo campsites. Normally not a big deal, but there was supposed to be rain during our visit and that had me paranoid. We camped out, the rain held off, it was nice. Then day 2, I wasn’t feeling it anymore, but I didn’t want to be banned from camping 🙄 so we stayed the night and packed up at 5:45am the next day. No coffee or chilling. I just wanted to get out of there! I love camping out in the wilderness…no rules, no stress, no people, no RVs. Just nature.
TravelerHonestly it was so super easy. Just reserve a spot in the recreation.gov app, pull to the entrance camp host gate, get your paper pass after checking in, and you’re good to go! Need to book longer? Go in the app and if your site is available just make a new booking and tell the camp hosts!
ScoutThis campground use to be a good hold over spot or a good spot for beginner campers. The homeless in the area have taken it over and have completely destroyed it. Trash all over the place and used needles and foils scattered about. The police routinely check this area as it has become a known hideout spot for wanted people. Would not camp here. Back when I was a kid we would ride our bikes and stay out there for days at a time. Not anymore. Would avoid
ScoutVery quiet,has porter potty in parking lot, cell service, free camping.
TravelerThe webpage is hokey 1990s vintage, can’t handle multi-day reservations. I gave up out of frustration.
GuideI was working near here and it was convenient place. So I drove through and it was very clean campsites are pretty good size . Fire pits, tables, etc. Bath house is clean and well maintained. I stayed 5 nights at site 16 by the bathrooms and my site had water electric. But all sites do. But mine had internet access being by the bathroom. Nice place. Lake beautiful also has boat access beach too swim at fishing deck. Highly recommended
ScoutDiamond Lure is a phenomenal campground! The sites are shaded, the amenities are fantastic, and the staff are sweet as can be. Melia booked our reservation and checked us in and was so kind. We got guided to our spot and the gentlemen helped us back our camper in no problem. The amenities are really great - multiple playgrounds and bath houses. Swimming area is the lake is great plus there are several other activities by the lake like cornhole and horseshoes. If you’ve got a dog, there’s a dog swimming area, dog park, and dog washing station. The hiking trails are really nice and shaded. Full hook ups plus cable/wifi. Overall, this is a really great campground I’m so glad we stumbled upon!
