    Winding Waters RV Resort

    Labor Day Weekend Glamping

    We booked Friday through Sunday of Labor Day weekend. We arrived after hours on Friday, and our check-in packet was prepared and ready for us when we arrived. No problems checking in and getting hooked up.

    The RV park is enormous, new and extremely well-kept. Our spot was next to the Etowah River and was one of the few that is on gravel and not concrete. The few gravel lots are among the quietest of this very busy place.

    There are plenty of things to do for a family...lazy river pool, pickle ball, etc. There are kids, electric scooters, electric everything flying around the park morning to evening. It's not necessarily a problem so long as you know what to expect. This is a less quiet place than many others that we have stayed at.

    Lots of investment in 5G WiFi towers, but WiFi is not terribly good. I opted to pull out my StarLink for a better, high bandwidth connection.

    My wife and I travel with e-bikes, so we were glad that it was easy to get to southern Cartersville in about 3 miles and to the Cooper's Furnace Day Area also in about 3 miles.

    Overall, and great place as long as you know you're signing up for a pretty active RV resort geared toward lots of family activity. Not particularly quiet. I'll come back... really enjoyed the cleanliness, order and adherence to strict rules.

    Lake Lanier

    Want a beautiful place to camp for cheap? Try Lake Lanier! Gorgeous campground, concrete pads, water and electric at site. We paid 30 a night! Nice and quiet too.

    COE Allatoona Lake Old Highway 41 No 3 Campground

    Lovely little COE campground

    Loved this little campground. Roads are narrow and asphalt sites are narrow. But beautiful views of the lake. Could hear a train but no highway/interstate noise at our waterfront site #47. I thought #48 was a great site as well. We were the only ones back there on that loop (which is at the back of the campground. Was fun watching the boaters and skiers. Biting Bugs were minimal which surprised me. Cicadas and katydids were in full chorus!

    Shady Grove Campground

    Water Front Views

    Great state / county campground. Majority of the sites offer direct water access with many sites offering water front views and beach areas.

    Bald Ridge Creek

    First trip for the summer

    Check in staff very friendly Site 32 - Nice level site. Plenty of room for us. Back in is not straight so it takes alittle bit of maneuvering(that maybe why it was one of the last few sites available a week out). Very close to the lakeshore. Morning and afternoon shade, otherwise pretty direct sun overhead around noon.

    The restroom and shower facilities were clean. Plenty of hot water. Gave it 4 stars only because I thought the swim beach could have been more clear of stuff that washed up. Otherwise a great campground. Would definitely stay here again!

    Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center

    Great family resort

    80 spaces for large RVs at $46 a night. Kayaking is one of the main activities. Kayak rentals and sales. Friendly staff. Bath house, nice and clean and adequate but definitely needs and upgrade.

    Red Top Mountain State Park Campground

    Beautiful and Peaceful

    My wife and I stayed for three nights mid-week. Site 93 is a "premium" site and the view was certainly that. Instead of looking at other sites, we were looking into a wooded valley. 

    I hiked the Iron Hill Trail which was wide and surfaced with nice gravel. No bicyclists while I was walking, though they are permitted on that trail. Great views of the woods and lake.

    The site was clean. Utilities worked. The dump station was clean but unfortunately does not have a threaded connection for a water host so I could not back-flush the tanks.

    Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve

    Safe, Quiet, and Efficient

    I stayed almost a week in space 81. When I made my reservation, I 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. Wonderful service! 

    Everything was handled via text and email messages before I arrived. Once on-site, I never saw an employee or an office. Had I needed anything, I had been instructed to call/text Jonathan. He was sure prompt in replying before I arrived so I am sure it would all have been fine had I needed him during my stay. It was kind of weird not checking in at an office but, honestly, I can't complain. The site was clean and the utilities worked. 

    Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve is definitely urban. The sites aren't much wider than the trailers. You definitely won't sit outside for the scenery. Maybe 2/3 to 3/4 of the sites looked to be occupied by long-term residents but all of the units looked to be in good repair. My wife and I definitely felt safe. There are not many choices for RVs in the Atlanta metro area. When we come back to Atlanta, we will stay here again. 

    I gave this four stars instead of five because a) the pavement is so deteriorated that it is almost moon craters, and b) the"scenery" just plain sucks. But for a safe place to hook up and stay, Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve gets five stars.
