Best RV Parks & Resorts near Allatoona Lake
Allatoona Lake's RV park options include Atlanta-Marietta RV Park, offering full hookups and big rig friendly sites approximately 30 miles from the lake. Winding Waters RV Resort provides both pull-through and back-in sites on concrete pads with 50-amp electrical service. "We could barely even squeeze our tow vehicle into the designated parking spot without sticking out. Even the back in sites would have been a little more roomy," noted one camper about the tight pull-through sites at Winding Waters. Several Corps of Engineers campgrounds surround the lake with electric and water hookups, though most lack sewer connections at individual sites. McKinney Campground features gravel pads suitable for larger motorhomes with some lakeside options.
Navigation into lakeside campgrounds requires careful planning as several reviews mention tight turns and significant hills that challenge larger rigs. Most parks maintain operational dump stations, though McKaskey Creek Campground has only one station serving its 51 sites. Fall and summer weekends fill quickly, particularly at lakefront RV sites. A review noted that "sites are washed out because of poor design" at some locations, suggesting careful site selection when booking. Pet policies vary between parks, with most allowing leashed dogs but maintaining strict rules about containment. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, with stronger coverage at RV resorts closer to Atlanta than at more remote lake access points. Winter camping remains available at several year-round facilities including Twin Lakes RV Park.
