Lake access draws many visitors to Marina Resort - Allatoona Landing, where campers can walk directly from their sites to the water. This Army Corps of Engineers campground sits on Lake Allatoona near Cartersville, offering boat launch facilities and a swimming area alongside traditional camping amenities.
The campground accommodates RVs up to 70 feet with full hookups available at select sites, though most spots provide only electric and water connections. A dump station serves sites without sewer hookups, and campers note the gray water dumps require longer hoses to reach from most parking spots. Paved pads keep sites level, and each includes a picnic table and fire ring. The property features a playground, recreation hall, and small convenience store stocking camping essentials.
Railroad tracks run close to the campground, with trains passing roughly every hour and producing noticeable noise. The entrance requires navigating between two railroad crossings with low clearance, particularly challenging for larger RVs on the curved approaches. Ginger V. notes campers can "just walk right into the water" from many sites, while ducks and geese frequently wander through the camping area.
WiFi proves unreliable despite being advertised, though cable television with 70 channels works consistently. The campground operates year-round with reservations available, and rates range from $42-52 per night. Sites tend to fill quickly during peak seasons, particularly those closest to the lake. Staff receives consistent praise for helpfulness, and the bathhouse facilities are well-maintained. For additional camping options in the region, visitors can explore places to camp near Emerson or nearby McKinney Campground.
The combination of lake access, full amenities, and proximity to Cartersville makes this a practical base for water recreation and regional exploration.
