Loved campsite 46! I would say it’s 50% sunlight and 50% shade. Access to the water was great. My husband fished and I tied a float to a rope to catch some rays in the water. My only complaint is that it’s so far from the bathhouse. We eventually stopped walking to it and just drove which sucks because I rather not be in my car. Especially in the middle of the night, I’m not walking that far in the dark. I wanted to come back to this campsite but now I’m not sure just because of the location of the bathroom. And there aren’t any tent sites closer that I could choose (without being surrounded by RV’s) and I would be missing out on the water access, which is the whole point in going.

Nice COE campground right on the lake with a beach and sites right on the water. Clean, quite and nice. The loops are real tight. We have a 30’ TT and were able to get around easily, but I could see some of the larger rigs having a tough time. Some sites are close, some right on the water and some tucked away. The folks at the gate run a tight ship, but that’s okay. We found it more humorous than annoying. We really like this place and plan on returning for sure!

The park is clean, well maintained and lovely. The camping spaces are comfortably sized, and rigs are parked on level asphalt pads. There are many, many camping spaces right on the water and a nice swimming area well marked.

Just beautiful! Friendly and helpful hosts, private and very shady sites, and on gorgeous Lake Allatoona. We wish we could have stayed longer.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
