Navy Lake Site at Allatoona

My family and I spent Memorial Day Weekend at the Navy Site, we had a blast. Prices were very reasonable, and the staff was supper great. Never before in my life have I met folks that were that happy to help.

We live in Florida and my sister lives in NC...we met at Lake Allatoona Landing to camp and spend some time together....We found the Navy Facility after being at the Landing for a couple of days...Definitely much better. The price was less than half and much more private. Tony was a peach and helpful in many ways. We rented a boat and Joyce was especially helpful there. We plan on going again soon. We had a great time. Very beautiful there.

Great experience. Very clean. Staff was very helpful. I can't wait to go back.

J.W. left this review using the Directory software: Visited November 22-23, 2010 while traveling from FL to TN. Convenient location to I-75 but the road is narrow and with lots of curves and RR crossings. Directions excellent. Very quite on a Weekday in November. Looks like 8 or 10 of the 12 campsites are occupied by long term campers. Will stop again if traveling in the area. Tony was very helpful making reservations and at check-in. Great view of lake. Will consider staying longer on next trip through the Atlanta area.

I read the reviews and almost didn't stop. Thankfully we decided to give it a try. The people couldn't have been friendlier, the site couldn't have been better (unless there was some water in the lake), the clubhouse was clean, well designed and well stocked. And the showers were near fantastic--plenty of water pressure and very good shower heads. I had NO TROUBLE negotiating the hilly and tight roads in my 35-foot motorhome towing a minivan. The only downers were the lack of on-site sewer and the road and railroad noise that were nearly constant (the campground is adjacent to I-75 with a main railroad track in between). I had a couple of minor complaints that I voiced to the manager and he took care of them IMMEDIATELY. We liked it so much that we stayed four extra days and left Georgia during a blizzard (right, snow, a near white out at some points along the road). We are fulltimers and appreciate a place that makes an effort to make you feel comfortable--we were so comfortable we felt like family (kissin cousins, not feuding families). Give this place a try.

This beautiful location is NOT for large RV's. We have a 36 ft. Winnebago motorhome and it was nearly impossible to get into the site. Even worse was trying to get out. Derek, one of the office staff was very helpful in finding us another place to camp locally. The road into the park is narrow, winding and the two railroad crossings will test the strength of your tow hitch as it drags the ground. Would that I had been told when I made the reservation that the RV was too large! It would have saved a lot of aggravation.

This place is like no other place i had the pleasure of visiting, it has all the things you need for a day to hang out with friends and family or a place to bring your r/v or camper for a month get away or just grab one of their cabins, i have had the pleasure of knowing the staff at this facility for going on almost 5 years and since the first week it is like they have become family, i am going to be leaving the area soon and am going to miss this place, but knowing the people that work there it will only stay the same or improve on its already amazing lineage, get to know the people there they are great people, the security/ park manager Joe Collard lives on site and is always willing to help visitors in any way possible, tell them Billy sent ya.

I first stayed at the Navy Lakeside in a cabin back in December 1989. Now that I have an RV, I try and stay at least 3 times a year. The staff do go out of their way to accomodate your needs. Quaint and quiet, it is a perfect vacation spot with much to do on the lake. Some sites are small but I have not had a problem with my 32' class C. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Beautiful view of the lake and sites are in the woods setting. One draw back, no sewer and at this time there is only one bathroom available. Walk to bathroom (up hill) is not bad, unless it is raining and you have any kind of problems with leg. They are working on all the cabins. The people are fantastic and very helpful. They did pass on info about the Army site which is scheduled to close. Don't expect the Navy to take it over - too expensive and too much work.

T.H. left this review using the Directory software: I enjoyed my stay the lake is wonderful I was at only camp site next to lake with full hookups but no cable very pleasant. You'll like this camp it is a wonderful place to stay and visit while in Atlanta area.

Nice facility, with cabins and RV sites. Cannot stress enough to get the gate code before 5pm, as the MWR office closes and there is no backup phone number. We were lucky in that some folk were leaving as we sat at the locked gate, tripped the inside sensor, and opened the gate. Full hookup, and the nicest RV sites IMHO are 11 and 1. One has overlook of the lake and swim area with steps down to the beach, while the other is on level with the beach, respectively. Very wooded, with no StarLink, or any cellular providers really supporting the RV site area. As others have noted, the roads are one-way, and in need of upkeep. But, our ClassC navigated without any problems. Was able to have a camp fire, and there also was a grill for charcoal provided. A mite off the beaten track, as cross over/under Interstate twice as snake through the back area. Seems to be built by the US Army Corps of Engineers, as there are other facilities (boat launch, campground, day-use areas) run by the Engineers along the road to the Navy RV campground.

I saw it was rated as Big-Rig unfriendly, but I got my 36' MH in with no problems! The camp was quiet, clean and Tony, the manager couldn't have been more help! The camp was crowded being a holiday weekend, but still, nestled in the woods with a great view of the lake, it couldn't have been a better weekend. And, the showers and restrooms were very clean and even with all the people using the campground during the day it was just fantastic. We were going to sight see a bit, but honestly, with the campground so nice - we never got around to it.

Arrived after hours, staff was your helpful with instructions over the phone. I have a 28 ft motorhome which made access very easy for me. I would not suggest a larger camper or motorhome because most of the sites can not accommodate them. The only bad think was no sewer at each site. Having my pet was great. Customer service by the office staff was great.

Great campground, Great Staff. Some RV sites are testy for larger RV' but there is ample help for getting in. Our youngest son lives in the area and the Lake is just beautiful and only a short drive to Atlanta. So quiet and peaceful. Easy access to the lake and beach and other activities. Only a few RV sites but all the cabins have great lake viewing morn, noon and evening. Only draw back I saw was to many permanents living there. Well kept secret there among Lake Alatonna, Ga.

Greetings, the area is nice and quiet. However, the bathrooms are outdated, and the pavement needs repair.
