    Clark Creek South Campground

    Great view of the Lake

    The campsite was right next to the swimming beach so little to no privacy and very loud. Although I slept very well in my tent because Quiet hours were observed. It was nice waking up to view of Lake Allatoona. Lady at the gate was rude when checking in so make sure to “READ the sign!” Other than that bathrooms were clean and they have laundry and hot water showers. Will most likely be back!

    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.

    Tallapoosa River RV and Outdoor Center

    Well maintianes and all the needs

    This was a quick overnight stop for us. It was very clean and well maintained with a variety of options - small cabins , RV hookups and tent sites all along a river.

    There is a convenient bathroom for the night time and a large boathouse by the office with four family style bathrooms with showers and all the needs.

    Lots of activities as it is along a quiet river nothing big- canoe and kayak and pickle ball as well.

    Sky Mtwy Dispersed

    Beautiful remote place to set up for the night

    It took us a bit to get here. Google maps tries to send you a way that doesn’t exist. Stay on Campbell rd until you are in the park on a gravel / dirt road and then keep driving. For being a gravel dirt road it’s pretty well maintained. The pull offs for van camping are limited and extremely dispersed off the multiple dirt roads. Some going very deep in the Forrest. We found a great pull through one on the left across from the fire watch tower. Limited to no trash. Beautiful piney woods. Plenty of wood. Completely quiet. Maybe 3 cars pulled past all day. Some cell service. Plenty of trails to hike.

    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!

    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.

What to do:

  • Hiking and exploring: Many campgrounds have trails for hiking. For instance, at Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground, one reviewer said, "The hiking trails are all very clearly marked, and we enjoyed exploring during our time there." This park is perfect for those who love to wander through nature.
  • Fishing and boating: If you enjoy fishing, Payne Campground is a great spot. A visitor mentioned, "There are several lakefront sites, both with power/water hookups and primitive tent sites." This makes it easy to enjoy a day on the water.
  • Swimming: Many campgrounds have swimming areas. At Sweetwater Campground, a reviewer noted, "There’s a roped-off swimming area, and a boat launch, and plenty of sites with lake access." It’s a great way to cool off during hot summer days.

What campers like:

  • Scenic views: Campers love the beautiful surroundings. One guest at Mckinney Campground said, "We could watch the sunset & the sunrise each day and it was incredible." The lake views are a big hit.
  • Clean facilities: Clean bathrooms and well-maintained sites are important. A visitor at Red Top Mountain State Park Campground shared, "Everything was clean and well maintained." This makes for a more enjoyable camping experience.
  • Friendly staff: Campers appreciate helpful hosts. At Little Tallapoosa Park, one reviewer mentioned, "Hosts stop by to introduce themselves and how to contact them if needs arise." This adds a personal touch to your stay.

What you should know:

  • Confusing signage: Some campgrounds have tricky signs. A camper at Sweetwater Campground warned, "Signage is highly confusing, it took two competent adults a lot of back and forth to figure out where our campsite was." Arriving during office hours can help avoid issues.
  • Limited amenities: Not all campgrounds have the same facilities. For example, Victoria Campground has no showers, as noted by a visitor who said, "Showers OK, gate attendants very nice couple." Be prepared for what each site offers.
  • Tight roads for big rigs: If you’re bringing a larger RV, check the roads. A camper at Clark Creek North Campground advised, "If you are a big rig, it would be wise to call the office and have them assist you in choosing a site that will accommodate a larger rig."

Tips for camping with families:

  • Choose spacious sites: Look for campgrounds with larger sites. One family at Mckaskey Creek Campground said, "Very big lots." This gives kids room to play.
  • Check for playgrounds: Some campgrounds have playgrounds for kids. A visitor at Little Tallapoosa Park mentioned, "We love the splash pad!" This can keep the little ones entertained.
  • Plan for activities: Bring games or outdoor toys. A camper at Sweetwater Campground suggested, "Expect No sleep!!" if you’re near loud groups, so having your own fun can help.

Tips from RVers:

  • Leveling your rig: Some sites can be unlevel. A camper at Georgia McKinney Campground noted, "The bathroom near our sites were good with hot water and heat," but mentioned needing to level their rig. Bring leveling blocks just in case.
  • Check site sizes: Make sure your site fits your RV. A visitor at Payne Campground said, "If you have a larger RV (35’ or bigger) your choice of sites is limited." Call ahead to confirm.
  • Bring extra supplies: Be prepared for anything. A camper at Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground advised, "Make sure to stock up before heading to the park." It’s always good to have what you need on hand.

Camping near Winston, Georgia, has something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a fun family adventure, you’ll find a spot that fits your needs.
