Camping opportunities near Rockmart, Georgia span from developed RV parks to primitive tent sites along the Silver Comet Trail. The Beautiful Rock Campground offers sites for tents, RVs, and cabins approximately 3 miles south of downtown Rockmart, while Camp Comet Campground provides more rustic accommodations directly accessible from the Silver Comet Trail. Several campgrounds in the area feature both full hookup RV sites and tent camping areas, with some properties like Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center providing access to waterways for kayaking and fishing approximately 20 miles west of Rockmart.
Most campgrounds in the region remain open year-round with varying levels of amenities. The Beautiful Rock Campground provides shower facilities but limited bathroom access, while more developed sites like Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center offer full hookups, Wi-Fi, and on-site stores. Primitive camping along the Silver Comet Trail requires self-sufficiency as water sources may be seasonal or unavailable. Several campgrounds operate with minimal staffing, especially on weekends, so campers should plan accordingly for self-registration at some locations. As one visitor noted about Camp Comet, "It is a primitive site with two gravel platforms set up for tents each with its own firepit. The sites are rustic but well cared for and perfect if you are bike packing the trail."
Waterfront camping receives consistent praise from visitors to the region, particularly at Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center where campsites along Big Cedar Creek provide peaceful riverside settings.

TravelerSpot #50 is perfection! Feels like you live alone on a tiny peninsula. Perfect place to explore trails, go fishing, enjoy sunset, and just be.
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.
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
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.
GuideSo happy with our short visit and already planning to return!
We stayed one night at Site #2. The site is nicely shaded and has two easy access points to the water—a footpath on one side and a level path with steps on the other. The footpath leads to a beaver dam, which was a neat find. Just be aware there is poison ivy in some areas of the footpath, and we found a few ticks during our visit.
I also don’t suggest swimming in the water near the campsites since there are beavers present. The frogs were very loud at night, which we enjoyed, though it was raining so they may have been more active than usual. The bear-proof trash cans were right across from our site, which was very convenient.
The bathrooms are located across from the picnic area, so driving was an option, but we enjoyed the walk from Site #2. There was no soap in the bathrooms during our visit, so I recommend bringing your own just in case.
If you enjoy birding, this is a fantastic spot, especially around the picnic area. We saw a variety of birds and spent quite a bit of time listening to them.
Our 7-year-old had the best time exploring the creek and spring system. I highly recommend bringing a small net if you’re visiting with kids. We found crawfish and even a baby salamander, which made his day.
The sound of the creek throughout the campground was incredibly relaxing, and the natural beauty of the area made this one of our favorite quick camping trips. We can’t wait to come back and spend a little longer next time.
ScoutClean and easy to get to.
GuideWe have now been to this campground three times - twice in the fall and now this last time in the spring. The fall foliage is beautiful and it's fun to get apples and such in Ellijay.
This time, there was definitely more boat and Jet Ski traffic, but did not take away from the beauty of the campground. The bathroom is older, but clean, and a bit of a hike down a hill and then back up the hill from the loop we were in, but not bad. We were glad to have a clean place to shower, nevertheless. There are lots of trees and the sites are rather spacious and nice, having water and electric hookups. Our site was lovely with a concrete pad and nice deck.
We have Verizon and had service at the site. We enjoyed our little mountain getaway very much!
TravelerI stayed at the walk- in campsites with waterfront view and access to walk down to the water. There is no electric at site and water didn’t work. The bathroom facilities are well maintained and whole place is really clean. This site was right next to parking other 3 are close but wagon recommended to haul items to other walk on sites.
Rockmart camping options range from developed campgrounds with full hookups to primitive sites along waterways. Located in northwest Georgia at approximately 750 feet elevation, the area experiences mild winters and warm, humid summers. Most local campgrounds remain open year-round with water levels in creeks and Lake Allatoona fluctuating seasonally.
Kayaking on Big Cedar Creek: Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center provides direct water access for paddlers. "Great little place to camp on the river. Family friendly and awesome river but crowded sites and bath house is poorly located and not big enough to accommodate the campground," notes Nick C., who adds that "if you love kayaking this could be a potential spot for you."
Cycling the Silver Comet Trail: Camp Comet Campground offers dedicated spots for cyclists traveling the trail. "It is a primitive site with two gravel platforms set up for tents each with its own firepit. The sites are rustic but well cared for and perfect if you are bike packing the trail," explains Asher K., who appreciates that it's "only a 5 min bike ride in from two different trailheads on either side but only accessible from the trail."
Lake swimming: McKinney Campground on Lake Allatoona offers swimming beaches open during warmer months. "Woods, water-front, space, everything you could want in a camp sight," writes The Grass F., who adds "clean bathrooms, electricity (at our spot [93]), firewood, sand ample space between camp sites, make this place a gem."
Privacy between sites: Many campers value the spacing at Clark Creek North Campground. "Small with just 24 spots equipped with water and electric and every spot has water access. Most spots provide complete privacy from your neighbors because of all the trees," shares Kathy B., highlighting that "it is comfortable to both RV and tent campers."
Year-round options: Marina Resort - Allatoona Landing stays open through winter months. Logan notes, "Most sites don't have sewer hookup but there is a dump station and randomly placed gray water dumps," also mentioning "lots of amenities here including a like new playground and 'rec hall'."
Live music events: The Beautiful Rock Campground hosts music performances alongside camping. Joey P. reports, "Beautiful scenery at our camp. We stayed facing the west in front of a field of cattle. The sunsets were beautiful," though he cautions about bathroom limitations.
Limited water sources: The Silver Comet Trail camping area has restricted water access. "There is a small seasonal creek that you could probably get water from in the spring when there is water available but it was totally dry when we were there in the fall," warns Asher K., emphasizing self-sufficiency.
Train noise: Several campgrounds near Rockmart experience train noise. Jennifer T. notes about McKinney Campground: "It's definitely not quiet unless you're in an RV. And I guess we camped on the wrong morning too because they started mowing the lawn at around 8:30-9 am after listening to the highway all night."
Security concerns: Take precautions with valuables at some sites. Chris C. warns about Clark Creek North: "After discussing the issue with the campground staff, we were informed that locals often come through the woods and even wade through the edge of the lake to steal from the campground."
Best shower facilities: Red Top Mountain State Park Campground offers superior bathhouses. Cris C. confirms it has "water and outlets and very very clean bathrooms. Like cleaner than a Publix bathroom. Kid friendly." However, the campground is approximately 30 miles northeast of Rockmart.
Kid-friendly programs: COE Allatoona Lake Old Highway 41 campground maintains playground areas for children. Janet N. describes it as having "enough space and privacy between camp sites. Clean comfortable picnic area with table and fire pit," making it suitable for families with young campers.
Swimming beaches: Multiple campgrounds feature designated swimming areas. Sharrah B. enjoyed Clark Creek North, saying "My daughter and I went camping here for 2 nights right on the beach it was like having the beach all to ourselves," noting that all sites are near water access.
Campsite selection: Mckinney Campground requires careful site selection for larger rigs. Gary L. warns that "many of the sites are very steep and slanted and causes difficulty getting your trailer or RV into the site. Makes leveling very difficult."
Water pressure variations: Watch for high water pressure at some campgrounds. Michael at Cedar Creek RV notes: "Water pressure was slightly over 40 psi which made my water pump run continuously until I just shut it off."
Road conditions: Access roads can be challenging at some of the best places to camp near Rockmart. Brock D. cautions about Red Top Mountain: "Heavily wooded sites that are not well maintained. Very narrow roads in the campground with lots of pot holes. Not the easiest state park to pull a travel trailer in."
