Red Top Mountain State Park
11.24.21-11.28.21 Full hook-up site for Thanksgiving was the way to go! Red Top Mountain State Park is located in Acworth, GA on Lake Allatoona. The state park is 1776 acres with 15 miles of hiking trails. Named for its red soil, the park used to be an important mining area. Red Top Mountain State Park has 93 campsites, 1 yurt, 20 cottages, and 1 pioneer campground. The state park is in the middle of renovations projects and we were impressed with the work they have done so far. They removed the putt putt course and built a unique picnic area looking down over the beach. We have never used the…

McKinney Campground – 34
10.20.21-10.24.21 McKinney Campground COE is finally open, after two years of construction on their sewer system. Thank goodness, because this park is our go-to on Lake Allatoona.

It is in close proximity to highway 75 and a great option if you need to camp somewhat close to Atlanta. McKinney Campground is the only COE campground that is open year-round on Lake Allatoona. The campground has 150 campsites with electric and water hookups. There are not any sites with sewer hookups. McKinney has two beaches, one playground, and a boat ramp. This campground is so popular…

Cloudland Canyon State Park – 15
10.01.21-10.03.21 Found our favorite site at Cloudland Canyon State Park, too bad it is already booked solid in the fall of 2022. Our first trip to Cloudland Canyon happened in 2017, the year we bought the camper. We stayed on site 43 in the West Rim and will continue to book West Rim because we prefer the more spread out and wooded campsites. East Rim is great for proximity to the main overlook. (See details/photos about our October 2017 stay at site 43 in Cloudland). Cloudland Canyon State park has recently redone their campsite numbers and added a couple new spots. Information reflects the new campsite numbers, however the photos…

North Beach Camp Resort
09.22.21-09.26.21 The feeling that you’re camping in a state park, but have a full hook-up? Count me in! North Beach Camp Resort is located in St. Augustine, Florida. The campground is located just 5 miles from downtown St. Augustine, on a barrier island between saltwater North River and the Atlantic Ocean. The campground offers 160 campsites (50 amp, 30 amp, and 20 amp) and three cabins. The obvious attraction to North Beach Camp Resort is that it is located across the road from the beach. It was a short walk to the sand and the beach did not get crowded in September. We took our wagon every day with…

Old Highway 41 No. 3 Campground
09.03.21-09.06.21 We finally gave Old Highway 41 No. 3 campground in Cartersville, GA a chance and we are so glad we did! Old Highway 41 No. 3 Campground is a Corps of Engineers campground on Lake Allatoona. Unfortunately it is only open May 13 – September 5 (Labor Day). The campground has 50 sites, many of them waterfront. There is a playground, boat ramp (no dock), and dump station. The location of the campground is the big negative. The campground can be seen from interstate 75 and the traffic from the interstate can be heard through most of the campground. Fortunately, we were on the far side and did not…
