- chindogExplorerWe like Bald Ridge Creek on Lake Lanier in Cumming. It has several spaces big enough for the largest rigs on level concrete pads. Also close to shopping and dining, and close enough to Atlanta for doing the touristy stuff there.
- rwessExplorerI like all of them. Especially with my Golden age pass. With that being said, most of them were built in the 50's & 60's, except for West Point, which was built in the 70's. They are all very nice, with large campsites. Their main problem is a lack of restrooms, and even fewer restrooms with showers. Our favorite COE campground has over 150 sites with only 4 restrooms and only 2 restrooms with showers.

Close to Atlanta if you want to go there. - jaycocamprsExplorerMostly we go to Allatoona Lake. About once a year Lake Sidney Lanier, and have been to West Point, Carters and Strom Thurmond.
At Allatoona Lake we mostly go to McKinney Campground Sweetwater Creek is 2nd choice, with Victoria 3rd. All 3 are good, mostly just easier to get to in that order. Have been to Payne, Old 41, and Clark Creek North (Now Bartow County Park).
At Lake Sidney Lanier we like Bolding Mill.
At West Point Lake R Shaefer Heard or Whitetail Ridge
Don't go to Carters Lake much. Camped at Woodring Branch a few times, but most of the sites are very narrow.
At J. Strom Thurmond we have been to Petersburg and Ridge Road campgrounds. Both are good. - HorsedocExplorer IIWatsadler COE US 29 at the Lake Hartwell dam near the Ga/SC line.
- Bears_DenExplorerThank you for the input. If anyone else has something to add, I’m all ears.
- TxTwoSomeExplorerThis One Is Easy DUCKETT MILL On Lake Sydney Lanier. Just Northeast Of Atlanta.
- Jayco-noslideExplorerSawnee( not it't not Saunee) near Cummings is good though I don't think it is any longer open all year. Also there's one north east of Kennesaw with hook-ups; can't recall the name.

This is the only one that I've been to, but we did like it and would go back. These pictures are from site #75.
The pad was nice and so was the gravel area in front of it:
This particular spot had weird spacing with the campsite next to it. But it was fine, we made quick friends and my son ended up raking their site for them:
Other sites had better lake views, we could sort of see it squinting through the trees: - ncsczExplorerIt is not a COE Campground but a Hart State Park on Lake Hartwell has always been on our best liked -- but we only go in the off season.
