Our first campground after selling our home and potentially our base when we are in Atlanta for appointments and to see friends. We’ll attempt to provide feedback on each place we stay for those who are interested in more details around the campground, facilities, etc.
Sites – Only so many are full hook up since this is really a Corp of Engineer controlled location. Most have 50 amp power and water but many will not have sewer (closer to the lake). All sites are paved as are the roads. Most are shaded by pine trees. Beware that most sites are not level. Even the one we were offered as being one of their most level was pretty far angled down to the right (back in site).
Facilities – A good bath house and laundry facility are available. A large fenced in playground doubles as a dog park when no children are around. There is a store, the campground is gated with security at night and it’s our understanding that there is an activity center and pool but haven’t checked either out at this point.
Cable and WiFi is included. Cable was good, most channels you’d want were offered. WiFi was relatively weak, glad we had our hot spots to use instead.
Other considerations – Note that this campground is next to a very active freight train line so you WILL hear trains all times of the day and night. Having lived near a train yard for over 12 years, it didn’t bother us at all but could see this as a major issue with some people. The location is not far from both Acworth and Cartersville so shops, grocery, and restaurants are very close by.
We aren’t into ratings but would probably give this place an “OK” for now. We have reservations in Feb/March when we are back in town and will give it a more complete assessment then.
Hi Dan!
The site is very close to the YMCA Camp High Harbor location where our youngest son worked for five summers. If you’re there during the summer months and you hear hollering, it’s probably those kids! I’d recommend Henry’s in Acworth for lunch or dinner or Fish Thyme. Be careful on the road!
Hi Maureen. Yes, I think we saw the sign for the Camp along the road to our campground. We will probably alternate between this campground and a few others when we are in the Atlanta area. Will definitely keep the restaurant ideas in mind when we are back!
