The latest boom in Bartow County, Ga., is going to be more on the tourism side vs. the industrial surge the area has seen, according to Hometown Headlines.
Due next year is a “luxury RV resort” with accommodations on the Etowah River for 252 RVs as well as cabins and upscale tent camping.
As planned, it will cover 56 acres with a build-out value of $16 million, targeting LakePoint Sports visitors, I-75 travelers and tourists stopping at Bartow’s museums or baseball parks in Atlanta and Rome.
Forrest Street Partners will invest $16 million to develop Winding Waters, the largest luxury RV resort within the metro Atlanta area, featuring 252 sites and a host of activities and first-class amenities.
The company has broken ground on 56 acres off Joe Frank Harris Parkway, just west of I-75 in Emerson.
Situated along the Etowah River, just four miles from Red Top Mountain State Park at Lake Allatoona, Winding Waters will include a beach entry pool with waterslide and lazy river, clubhouse, bocce and pickleball courts, picnic and fire pit areas, a playground and dog park and water activities like paddleboarding, kayaking and fishing.
