My husband and I went camping at Payne Campground, on Lake Allatoona, in Acworth, GA. It was our 3rd visit to the campground. Lake Allatoona is a popular destination in metro Atlanta because of it close proximity to downtown and Marietta. There are several campgrounds on the lake, and we have visited 5 of them altogether. We chose site 40 for all 3 of our visits to this campground because it met our needs and it was available. On this particular visit, our plans got disrupted, and we had to move to a different site. This video shows the site we moved to and explores the reasons for choosing a campsite.


Payne Campground is an Army Corps of Engineers campground. Check out our other video on Payne campground from 2018 to see site 40.

Payne campground can be accessed by taking I-75, and take exit 277 (Hwy 92). There is a Cabela's off the exit, and the campground is 4 miles from the exit. There are restaurants and shopping in the area, so it makes a nice weekend getaway. They DO NOT sell ice and firewood at the campground. At the time of our visit, it was $64 to stay Friday and Saturday nights. The campground is open a limited amount of time, April 1st to Labor Day.
