McKinney Campground at Allatoona Lake will be closed Jan. 1 to May 15 as a sewer system is installed for Bartow County, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced.

“This upgrade will improve the overtaxed dump station and aged septic systems that are currently in place,” said Chief Ranger Russell Simmons of the Allatoona Lake Project Management Office.

Other corps-managed campgrounds, including McKaskey, Payne, Sweetwater and Victoria, will open in March as scheduled.

McKinney Campground, at 6659 McKinney Campground Road, Acworth, has 150 camp sites and a shower house, restrooms, swimming beaches, a boat ramp, playground, coin laundry and other facilities. Information: 678-721-6700 or https://bit.ly/2PIwHmR
