About

McKaskey Creek Campground is situated on Allatoona Lake along the Etowah River, a tributary of the Coosa River. Located just 45 miles north of Atlanta in Bartow County, this U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campground provides a peaceful lakeside retreat with 51 campsites, 32 of which offer electric and water hookups.

The campground features a boat ramp, picnic areas with grills and tables, restrooms with showers, an RV dump station, and laundry facilities. The surrounding rolling hills are covered in dense hardwood forests of oak, maple, blackgum, dogwood, magnolia, and hickory, providing habitat for white-tailed deer, raccoons, foxes, and occasional black bears. Nearby attractions include Red Top Mountain State Park with over 15 miles of trails, the Tellus Science Museum and Etowah Indian Mounds in Cartersville, and Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield.
