Welcome 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.

Beautiful views with lake front camping
Campsite was the perfect lake front spot for our dog’s last camping adventure with us. The resort felt super safe for 2 females traveling with their dog and all campsites and bathrooms were super clean.

Lakefront Overlook
We stayed at Site #45, and it quickly became one of our favorite campsites because it felt more like a wooded overlook, perched above the lake. The breeze coming off the water kept us comfortable enough to enjoy a campfire even on a hot August evening.
The site fit our 14x10 tent comfortably, but I wouldn’t recommend anything larger. There isn’t a true tent pad, and you’ll notice the slope while sleeping—but the view from inside the tent was priceless. We experienced a four-hour thunderstorm and didn’t have any standing water at our site afterward.
⚠️ The slope becomes much steeper near the shoreline, so I wouldn’t recommend this site for toddlers or anyone with mobility concerns.
🛝 Our 7-year-old loved fishing from the shoreline and thought the steep slope made the perfect slide to get back down to the water. Built-in slide + dirty shorts = happy camper. 😂
🔥 The site includes a clean fire ring with an adjustable cooking grate and a separate standing charcoal grill.
🦟 We didn’t have any issues with mosquitoes during our stay.
🚰 The shared water pump wasn’t working during our visit.
🚽 The bathhouse was spacious, clean, and only a short walk away.
🚗 A community wagon is parked near the bathhouse for campers to use when hauling gear between their vehicle and campsite. Loved that!
A few tips:
🪵 The Visitor Center sells $6 bundles of firewood and has a nice selection of souvenirs.
🐜 Plenty of flies and large ants, so keep your food put away and your tent zipped.
🪲 Cicadas were loud at night. I loved it, but our 7-year-old slept with his wireless headphones on. If you’re a light sleeper, you may want to pack earplugs if you’re camping here June-August.
🎣 We caught more bluegill fishing from our campsite than we did from the fishing dock.
🌅 If you’re looking for one of the best views in the campground and don’t mind sleeping on a slight incline, Site #45 is well worth considering.

Heavenly! Red Top Mountain State Park
Spot #50 is perfection! Feels like you live alone on a tiny peninsula. Perfect place to explore trails, go fishing, enjoy sunset, and just be.

A Good Choice for Big Rigs Near Marietta
We 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.

Beautiful Place
I 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.

Amazing Forest Setting
Gorgeous campground on the lake with excellent facilities. Priority along the lake front is given to tent sites, which is nice. There's a mix of sizes for small campers and big RVs so it never feels crowded. Not a huge amount to do in the area except chill on the lake or at your site in the woods... which is fine by me. The one shortcoming was difficult lake access from the campground. There are plenty of beach areas when the lake is low but getting to them can be challenging. There's a public beach in another part of the park but we didn't go there.
Guide to Smyrna
Camping cabins near Smyrna, Georgia offer accommodations within several state parks and private facilities throughout the region. The area sits at approximately 1,050 feet above sea level with a moderate climate that allows for year-round cabin use. Summer temperatures typically reach 90°F with high humidity, while winter lows rarely drop below freezing, making three-season camping comfortable without specialized gear.
What to do
Hiking opportunities: Red Top Mountain State Park features scenic trails around Lake Allatoona with minimal elevation changes. "This is close enough to metro to make for a quick getaway. The trail around the lake is good and in the winter it is not too far north has to be too cold to get outside in a tent," notes one visitor to Red Top Mountain State Park.
Water recreation: Lake Allatoona provides swimming, fishing, and boating options from multiple access points. At Holiday Harbor Marina & Resort, visitors can enjoy "peaceful and clean park" conditions with multiple water access points for day use or overnight stays.
Mountain biking: Fort Yargo State Park offers dedicated mountain biking trails for various skill levels. A visitor mentions, "Mountain bike trails and hiking trails inside park. When I have more time we plan to go back and take it all in. Close to the town of Winder for items you forgot. Less than a 3 mile ride," according to a Fort Yargo State Park Campground review.
What campers like
Platform camping: Some parks offer raised platforms ideal for tent camping near water. One Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground visitor shares, "Platform sites are super nice. Short walk into the sites, right beside a river. Not much privacy between platforms but every time we have been it hasn't been full or crowded."
Spacious, wooded sites: Several campgrounds offer sites with good separation and natural screening. "We camped with my parents in the RV section of the campground, it was beautifully wooded and offered plenty of space/privacy from other campsites and was still a short walk from the bathhouse. Also had a little view of a lake down below," according to a Stone Mountain Park Campground visitor.
Clean facilities: Bathhouses are well-maintained at most locations. A camper at Chattahoochee Bend notes, "The bathrooms were cleaner than my bathroom at home. The dogs loved the hiking and the river is beautiful with the fall colors."
What you should know
Railroad proximity: Several campgrounds have nearby train tracks. A visitor to Marina Resort - Allatoona Landing comments, "Very nice lake campground, paved parking pads, lots of foliage, a good bit of lakefront sites, level pads with electric, water, sewer, picnic table, and fire ring. I noticed several permanent residences here, and yes the train is LOUD."
Reservation requirements: Weekends fill quickly during peak seasons (April-October). Sites with the best amenities or views should be booked 3-6 months in advance.
Military-only options: Several facilities restrict use to military personnel. One visitor to Naval Recreation Site notes, "This is only for military, you have to have ID to prove."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Multiple parks feature recently updated play equipment. A camper at Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground shares, "Lots of great hiking. 2 playgrounds were open. Playgrounds are brand new or at least they look brand new. I am 225 lbs and I played on all the equipment with my daughter."
Kid-friendly bathrooms: Facilities are typically clean and accessible. One Red Top Mountain visitor notes, "This isn't for backpackers but for camping with your family, it's good. They have water and outlets and very very clean bathrooms. Like cleaner than a Publix bathroom. Kid friendly."
Seasonal programming: Several parks offer organized activities for children. "We had an amazing visit!! All the staff were extremely helpful and sweet. Shower house was clean, laser show fabulous and while hiking we saw a lot of beautiful wildlife!!!" reports a Stone Mountain Park visitor.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling requirements: Many campgrounds require additional equipment for leveling. A visitor to Atlanta South RV Resort states, "The sites here are a little close, but it's big rig friendly, and so is the staff. Donna in the office was very kind and helpful, and so were all of the guys working the grounds. This will be our go-to park when visiting Atlanta."
Hookup variations: Sites offer different utility connections, even within the same campground. A Red Top Mountain visitor cautions, "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. Sites were very narrow."
Road conditions: Interior roads at some parks present challenges for larger rigs. Look for pull-through sites when possible, particularly for vehicles over 30 feet in length.
