Sweetwater Campground - Allatoona Lake

The Campsite was nice except for a lot of trash was thrown down the hill from the campsite with soda & beer cans. The bathrooms were dirty and had no hand soap. The cleaner would park in front of the bathroom where she spent an hour on her phone and I don't think she ever went inside the bathroom. They are now under County Management where check-out is 11:00am. We were still packing up at 11:05am, along came the Park Ranger and said if we are not out of here in 20 minutes he was going to issue me a Citation. I said I would be happy to extend my stay for another day and he said no, and told me that was not an option and the citation was going to be a lot more than an extra day. Then he returned 10 minutes later and proceeded to watch us pack in a frenzy. I think the Park Ranger hated his job and this probably added a little more excitement to his job and issuing a citation would be his highlight of the day. So buyer be aware, if you want to be stopped and threatened by the Gestapo, be out by 11:00am.

The campground was beautiful! Not a bad one but our site was infested with ants! They got all over our camper, all inside, and in our bed the night w other. I went to speak with the front and they said they couldn’t do anything about it. We couldn’t even sit outside without having them crawl all over us! When we left, our neighbors car got infested. They really need to take care of this!

Was super hot and crowded. But, I had a good semi private spot and everything was clean. Somewhat. Only thing I hated is I wanted to just stay one night and they don't allow the purchase of one night on the weekends. So if you want to stay there, you'll be paying for two nights on a weekend whether you're there or not.

The three of us stayed Father’s Day weekend. The neighbors had about four sites for a large party many cars. They would start their partying around 1030 after quiet time crank up their music loud laugh loud holler loud bright lights until 2 AM at least. They were allowed all day too, but that’s not against the rules. They gathered at one site approximately 20 to 30 people. No one slept until after they finished. They also used an airsoft pistol to shoot into the water. I was told this is illegal. They did this a lot the next day. I complained to the host they said that I could call the sheriff. I told them they need to regulate and enforce the rules. He said they would send out a Ranger. We did see a Ranger drive-by never stopped. second night same thing, they also ran a generator all night long and all day. Before we arrived, we asked if they allow generators on the sites or anywhere and they said no. So this is a warning to people who do obey the rules that you can expect lots of people not obeying any kind of rules doing what they want to do at any time of the day or night. You are on your own. The host does nothing to help you. I’m not sure what their job is.?? We have camped at Sweetwater for over 20 years. But for the last two years, it has gone to the dogs. This was extreme. We will not be camping anymore at the Corps of Engineers. They don’t care. They just want you to make a reservation and pay them the money, there is no service or enforcements. The bathrooms were a wreck all the time.

Very nice sites and variety of basic and more premium amenities (power, water). The views from a majority of the spots are really nice lake views.
