Great campground on Lake Allatoona. Easy access from I-75. Very shaded, level spots. Some of the wooden platforms are beginning to show their age ...

The sites are big, most sites have lovely views of the lake and restrooms are clean. We like it because it is just an hour from home, but we have to take something into consideration when deciding to go here. I am pretty sure it depends on the site, but we were at site 44 and the cell service was in and out the whole weekend. There is also a train that goes at all hours of the night and day. Another small complaint is we wish there were more garbage stations/dog poop stations. The park is nice though, clean and the hosts are super friendly.

We stayed at McKinney the first time after a personal recommendation and it was great. Highly recommended. And an extra bonus for us was being able to watch and listen to the freight trains pass over the water in the distance on a railroad trestle. The trains did not bother us one bit :-)

I stayed at camp site 110 and couldn't give it a better rating. The spot was secluded, private and absolutely beautiful. Not far down the trail from the restrooms as well. This spot has electric to plug into, a water pump, and a short set of natural steps that lead to the lake. Easy to swim in because of the way the rocks are and great spot to fish at. I recommend backing the vehicle in.

We would have given this 4/5 stars if it weren't for the freight trains blasting their horns all night. We stayed on a Saturday night not realizing that the campground is near a train line. There were a minimum of 6-7 trains that passed through between 10pm and 6am, each of them blowing their horns multiple times. The camp area itself is wonderful and we had a great time during the day but didn't get much sleep at all.
