Sweetwater Campground
Hosted by US Army Corps of Engineers
New listing
Sweetwater Campground sits on the banks of Allatoona Lake, providing visitors with a variety of water activities in the green rolling hills of Georgia. Located only 50 miles from Atlanta, Allatoona Lake is situated on the Etowah River, a tributary of the Coosa River, and the serene lake and peaceful surroundings offer visitors respite from the rush of city living. Sweetwater provides more than 150 spacious reservable campsites, conveniently located near the dock and swimming beach. Lake front sites are also available, giving visitors sweeping views of the vast lake. Fire rings, picnic areas, drinking water, flush toilets and showers are all provided, creating a comfortable camping experience. Allatoona Lake is one of the most frequently visited Corps of Engineers lakes in the nation. Nearly 7 million visitors each year enjoy picnicking, swimming, camping, hunting, fishing, boating and observing wildlife along the 270 miles of shoreline. The lake is annually restocked with bass, crappie, bream, gar and catfish, making it a popular destination for anglers. Fishing jetties are available at numerous shoreline fishing locations, and a dock is provided at the campground. The city of Cartersville is nearby, offering the Tellus Science Museum, Etowah Indian Mounds and Booth Western Art Museum. The Visitor Center at the Allatoona Lake Project Management Office overlooks the dam, features video exhibits and displays about the area's history — from the time of early Native Americans, to the Civil War and to present times — and offers many hiking trails. Red Top Mountain State Park has more than 15 miles of trails and interpretive programs, eight marinas on the lake offer boat rentals and restaurants, and Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield, White Water Park in Marietta, Zoo Atlanta and the Georgia Aquarium are all within reach.
