We found this park quite by accident while looking for a place to stop for the night. We arrived at about 5:30 PM. Staff was courteous and helpful. All sites are on the lake and are very well kept and maintained. The showers/restrooms are clean and easy access. Some sites are a little uneven due to the hills the lake is on, but nothing jacks or hydrolics can't handle. Nice quiet and very beautiful campground. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Looks like it would be fun in the summer, big lake. Lots of seasonals. Camp is run by the Corp of Engineers, they have some of their own rules. Our site was not flat but we made due. If I had a boat I would spend some time here. All interior roads are blacktop, the place looks clean and has 24 hour on site security. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We liked the closenss to Atlanta and yet the feeling of being in the woods. There are mostly full timers here. There are a few good spots for large motorhomes but not when we were there. They put us in a spot that was not level and difficult getting in and out. We stayed for two weeks. Yes, there are a lot of trains and close by but we did not mind them. Great bicycle riding trails through Allatoona Battlefields which is adjacent to the the park. We would stay here again if we could get a better site for our 40 ft motorhome and tandem tow dolly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have been RVers for 36 years. We find Georgia State and County parks to be among the nation's best. Bartow Gatewood Park was not a disappointment. The foliage was stunning, the campground well kept and beautiful. The roads are paved as are many of the RV sites. There are plenty of lakefront sites with beautiful views, with decks built for the picnic tables. One side of the campground has a great view of the dam. We were greeted by the nicest hosts (Dicky & Vicky), who even delivered some firewood to our campsite for us. They were seen often driving through the park and if we were walking, they always stopped and asked if everything was OK and if we were enjoying our stay. I can't remember having such a nice reception in a government-owned park! Even though it is called Bartow Beach Campground, the beach was closed years ago, but there is a natural little beach that people enjoy swimming from. If I had to guess, I would say it's about 5 miles off I-75 out SR 20, and well worth the drive! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pulled into KOA and looks are nice, but their manager is the most discourteous person: never did he welcome us as is normal upon arrival. I told him to give me a space more level for one night and we will be gone in morning and be done. I then told him I had already called KOA customer services and providing handicap services are federal laws. He then assigned us another sight for the night which was more level. I moved coach/toad to site then feeling so uncomfortable and unsafe due to this KOA managers attitude I walked back to office and told the nice young lady good-bye and we left. I again called KOA headquarters to bring them up on our feeling so uncomfortable. Never will return to this KOA. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground made for a great overnight stay when traveling through the Atlanta area. It is conveniently located right off the Interstate, but there was no noticeable Interstate noise at all. The park was very clean with gravel sites. Leveling was not a problem. The campground has some sites without cable TV (cheaper rate), but it should be noted that we could not get any Atlanta area stations over the air. The rest rooms and showers were clean and completely adequate. The showers were a little on the small side. There was your typical children's playground and swimming pool onsite. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stopped here on a return to Florida from Ohio. The campground is easily accessed, clean, and well maintained. You have the option for pull throughs almost anywhere in the park. The facilities were clean and well maintained. Good sized dog park. It was quiet and the full hookups and free wifi were an added bonus. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first trip to Mckaskey, the only C.O.E. campground on Lake Allatoona we hadn't been to. This campground was much smaller than many of the others around the lake. There are more tent sites than RV sites. All but a few sites on the water are tent sites. The RV sites are small and will only accommodate vehicles up to 30' with no room to park a TV or dinghy. Hosts were very nice and were frequently spotted making their rounds. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very clean and nice campsites. Some premium sites are not suitable for RVs, parking is on too steep a grade. We stayed at sites 45 & 47 which backed up to each other, perfect for camping with friends. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is one of our favorite campgrounds. It is rustic with very nice sites that are large and private. There are plenty of trees for shade and you have many opportunities to see deer come right up to your campsite. If you enjoy and nice campfire, privacy and the view of a nice lake, I recommend you visit this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice, wide and mostly private sites....train whistle nearby is sometimes ill timed. Quiet, clean and good workers. Restrooms a tad dated but pretty clean. Overall a great trip. Better during the week when it fills to capacity with children. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I loved this campground and would give it a 10 except for a few reasons: 1 - The Campground Hosts were not very accomodating and didn't seem to like people. And don't even think of stopping near the gate house..."you had better park in the check in area...and leave your dog in your car!". 2 - The Trains were very, very loud. I don't usually mind hearing trains, but even across the lake...your camper would vibrate. 3 - Those darn ants! There were ants everywhere. They invaded our camper and about run us out at 2:00 in the morning. (I will note that this is not the fault of the Campground) Overall...great campground, however, with some small improvements could be fantastic!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed at Red Top Mountain towards the end of May, 2009. We had my Mom with us, who had never camped a day in her life. My wife and I had no idea if she would even like it. We had spot #28 up on a small hill over looking Allatoona Lake. What a breathtaking view. The campground is very clean and quite. My Mom could not believe how peaceful it was, and is willing to go there again. We will try to make it back more often. I give it two thumbs up. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Thankfully they refunded our money but only after we learned the hard way that this campground is not big rig friendly. The slide topper and window awning will need to be replaced due to the large pine trees that make maneuvering very difficult. Location is breathtaking but unless you are in a smaller rig this park is not for you. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I'm basing my rating against other "state" campgrounds I've visited, not necessarily in contrast to a nice commercial campground. Please keep that in mind. This is a very nice state campground, really only lacking sewer hookups. I'm not sure why they chose to do cable at each site instead of sewer, but I expect it wasn't much of an upgrade from pulling electric. All services worked great, and the cable was a nice bonus. The campground itself is well kept, very quiet (we're here in the off season mid week), and the sites are huge and well laid out. The real downside is just the bathhouse. There's only one shower per side, and they both need a good cleaning. It appeared to me that they are basically in the "refill TP and that's it) stages. There are cobwebs and dead bugs everywhere, and my girls and wife won't even use them for fear of being bitten by something. They simply need a good cleaning and a bit of maintenance here and there. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, we'd just shower in the camper, but with 3 nights here, gray water space is a premium, and I'm not keen on hooking back up just to dump the tanks. I'd highly recommend this campground for 1-2 night stays, and for folks not squeemish about showering with bugs and spiders ;->. It's a great non-city place to camp for Atlanta, or a nice getaway as well. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate reflects senior discount (50% off). We had a beautiful waterfront 50A site. All sites and roads are paved. Sites are level and huge! We were there during the week and the campground was almost empty. I understand the weekends are quite busy. This is a great campground that is loaded with natural beauty. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
