Allatoona Lake Accepting Campsite Reservations For 2018

CARTERSVILLE, GA -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District's Allatoona Lake Project Management Office is now accepting reservations in advance for all of its campsites for the 2018 camping season.

In the past, about 10 percent of the project’s campsites were only available on an in-person, first-come, first-serve basis. McKinney Campground, which is open year-round, will begin accepting reservations immediately for all of its campsites.

Reservations for the remaining campsites at Allatoona Lake can be made up to 6 months prior to the date that the campground where the campsite is located opens for the 2018 camping season.

Project officials hope that by taking reservations in advance for all campsites, it will provide the public with more predictability. Reservations can be made by visiting Recreation.gov or by calling 1-877-444-6777. Patrons will still have the option to reserve a campsite on a same day, walk-in basis, pending availability.

For questions or more information, contact Park Ranger Josh Davis at (678) 721-6700 or
