Red Top Mountain, GA

Named for the soil's rich red color caused by high iron-ore content, Red Top Mountain was once an important mining area for iron. The park is located on a 1,950-acre peninsula along Lake Allatoona in northern Georgia.

Campsites are large and wooded, with a tent pad, grill and fire ring.  There are 92 Tent, Trailer, RV Sites. Be sure to drive around the grounds before choosing a site.  Many are located right on the lake. Bathhouses had showers.  This is the first park I've seen with two campground host sites. However, only one was occupied when I stayed here. I did not spend as much time as I would have liked in the park because my daughter was in tennis and softball tournaments all weekend.  The park had very much to offer and I look forward to staying here again with Alysa in the near future if I can get her away from the ballfield.

Entrance sign to the park.

Nice level sites with very good tree cover.

Just a nice rock formation close to the campsite.
