Red Top Mountain State Park
Red Top Mountain State Park sits on a peninsula jutting into Lake Allatoona, offering 92 campsites spread across wooded areas and open fields overlooking the water. The park features flush toilets, hot showers, and a boat launch, making it a solid basecamp for exploring north Georgia’s mountain trails. Sites range from basic tent spots to full hookup RV sites, with the lakefront loops filling up quickly on summer weekends.
The park stays open year-round, though the swimming beach closes after Labor Day. From here, you’re within an hour of Chattahoochee National Forest trails and the Cohutta Wilderness access points. The main road in is paved, but some campground loops involve gravel spurs that can get rutted after heavy rain.
