Camp Creek Marketplace

This place is definitely a bonus! I used to often hear about how something of its caliber didn’t exist and how my family members had to go into neighboring cities for certain things. Fast forward and here we have a One Stop Shop! You can find just about any and everything you need right here in this plaza. For those coming into town and staying near the airport, you really don’t have to look any further.
There are a few negatives which includes wait times to dine, the flow or lack thereof in relations to traffic, and parking but the upside to the issue with traffic and parking is that you can access the Marketplace using the MARTA system.

I would rank this higher if it weren’t for the TERRIBLE parking lot layout! The shopping center itself is great because it has just about everything you could need, but the parking lots are a nightmare! Driving here is basically a free for all… just close your eyes, hit the gas and hope you don’t get smashed into!

They have a lot to offer in this shipping strip of space. However the parking lot is so congested and not well planned out. It’s very frustrating to go from parking lot to parking lot. Be careful and aware if yoyr surroundings at holiday time as I have witnessed a lady carrying her wallet in hand at Publix get it snatched out her hand as she walked through rhe parking lot. Most of the stores stay open til 930pm during summer hours. The Dollar Tree over there is amazing!

I can appreciate this sort of outdoor mall. It has a lot of stores that I frequent. It boasts a nice big beauty supply shop, Target, and a variety of restaurants for when it’s time to eat. It also has a movie theater. It has a Lowes and all the banking institutions are represented.
For groceries, there is a Publix. However, I want there to be a Kroger. I shop at both Publix and Kroger and I need them both in close proximity. Also, all the eateries are chain restaurants. I would like to see this place feature non-​chain restaurants.
My big issue, however, is the traffic situation. Somebody some where did not think things through on how the traffic light and stop signs should be used to minimize the cluster *%$#^ that happens when it’s busy. Drivers are almost forced to drive aggressively and crazy just so they can get where their going. Even though you might not have a stop sign at an intersection, you’d better stop anyway if you know what’s best for you or you’ll be mowed down. Oh and if you don’t stop, sorry but you’ll still be mowed down. It’s treacherous indeed.
Overall, this Marketplace is okay and the rating could definitely go up with better handling of the traffic and more independently owned stores.

This place is not bad at all. All of your favorite big box retailers together in one location. They have a Johnny Carino’s out here, which is a bonus since you don’t find this restaurant everywhere. This project is long overdue for residents and businesses alike on the south side of Atlanta. This place reminds me of the Fayetteville Pavilion. But in some ways its a little nicer. I had to take one star away because the traffic in the evenings and the weekends especially can be hell. It’s also conveniently located near the Atlanta airport. I’d recommend shopping here if you happen to be in the area. And oh yeah, watch out for those East Point cops off I-​285. They are brutally evil when it comes to giving out citations. Just a warning! :)

The Camp Creek Marketplace did not exist when I lived in East Point… that was in the late 20^th Century. Back then, I would drive to Morrow for what is here now.
The stores here and surrounding it is a great addition to the area.
My only issue with this place is the traffic flow… the two-​way stops in particular… I hate it!!! Maybe roundabouts would work better… just an observation.

Love shopping here, variety of stores from chains to boutiques. The downside is traffic, traffic, traffic. The crossing over to get to the other side is terrible, not to mention exiting some places like Chik Fil A, Wendy’s etc.

Just like Stefon says on SNL…“this place has everything!”
Publix, Target, La fitness, petsmart, red lobster, longhorns. Basically, all your needs are in one convenient shopping center. The only downside is the traffic and all the TWO way stops.

It’s not the stores but it’s the traffic. As many outlets and venues at the Marketplace, it just seems not to be enough. For example, when you go out to dine on a Friday or Saturday, average wait is an hour for a 3 star restaurant. That kinda sucks if you ask me. Parking can be an adventure depending on the restaurant you dine at or store you shop at. Stores — cool. Service at the venues — average to sub par. Wait — sucks!
Grade: D

out of towner visiting and the place was nice

This is my run up the street and pick up a few items shopping center.
There is a Lowe’s, which my daughter forbids me to shop in since she works for Home Depot.
Target, Old Navy, Game Stop and Dollar Tree all sit near each other.
Want Fried chicken, you can hit up Popeye’s or JR Crickets.
Currently they are building a RaceTrac gas staion. I’m interested in how they are going to compete with the BJ’s gas that directly up the street. It probably won’t be too bad since you won’t have to have a membership and you can purchase a slushie there.
Publix, Walgreens and a Super Warehouse liquor store all sit near each other. There’s a Zaxby’s and Movie Theather in that same area.
DSW, LA Fitness and Bank of America share a parking lot with Jason’s Deli.
As you can see, this shopping center has it all. If you need to get the party started. Hop by the Party City store also.
Traffic and get thick at certain times of the day. Especially in the after 5pm hour.

Beijing beef with chow mein… excellent! Service staff could use more help and be more polite

This shopping center has everything, from groceries, furniture, Home Improvement, cell phones, to every type of food you would think about eating. I particularly like the DSW Shoes, the largest I’ve seen with great selection. BJ’s is here, and Lowe’s — one of the larger stores. Also Target, Ross, Marshall’s, Shoe Carnival, Pet Smart, Old Navy, T.J.Maxxm, Party City and Ashley Stewart.
If you’re looking for nice restaurants, they have Longhorn, Red Lobster, Chili’s, TGI Friday’s, Riby Yuesday, Johnny Carino’s. Wanting sit-​down but fairly fast, they have Panda Express, Moe’s, Chick-​fil-​A, Zaxby’s, American Deli, and J Buffalo Wings, also Wendy’s, Starbucks and Bruster’s. The Barnes and Noble store is great, and Staples is a great office supply place, few to be found in this area.
The downside is getting in and out is not the easiest, but once you’re in, it’s fairly easy getting around. I’m not wild about the speed bumps, but they are the gradual long kind, not the abrupt bump kind.

I enjoy the Market Place because it’s close to my house and I don’t have to go across town looking for anything. Everything I need is in my back yard. LOL You can party if you want JR Cricket. The Ultimate Sports Bar and Grill (across the street) Scores is down the street. Lets see… home improvement, gym, movies, smoothies, food galore, grocery shopping, shoes and clothing, furniture, and throw in some dollar stores… I say that is pretty good… did I mention book store? Well the only down side is the traffic… can you say road rage! SMILE!

The selection of stores is decent (if you’re into all corporate chains), but it is counter-​balanced by awful traffic at all times of day. Because it’s situated right off I-​285 on Camp Creek, it just stays busy all the time. Be aware that several of the intersections are not 4-​way stops, and for whatever reason people like to just stop and watch the cars go by. Don’t plan on getting in and out of this shopping area quickly, and don’t head over if you’re having a bad day because it will only get worse!
The movie theater, MoviesATL, isn’t bad, and they have the cheapest matinée price I’ve found in Atlanta. If you catch a movie around noon on a weekend, you might be the only person there.

I’m here at least three times a week for groceries (Publix), alcohol (World of Beverage — the best liquor store in ATL), homegoods (Lowes — cust. service sucks), and food (Jason’s Deli, Five Guys burgers, and Kiku Japanese are great). There’s also a Staples, Barnes and Noble, Petsmart (don’t buy fish here), Old Navy, Target, and LA Fitness.
The traffic sucks most nights and weekends because the signs are apparently confusing and the lines are drawn in an apparently confusing way. I’ve never been confused, but all the other shoppers never seem to know where the heck they’re going. And for the love, if there isn’t a stop sign — DON’T STOP!

Still missing a few store types, (a cheaper dry cleaners for starters), but a wonderful benefit to living in the Point. The traffic can be crazy and a lot of people are unable to read the traffic signs such as ‘keep moving’ and ‘don’t stop’ but hey, I love the Publix, the Old Navy, the Dollar Store, etc. and they are all here! The access road in the back is great for getting in and out too.

I have been waiting so long for something like this to be built on the westside of town. Living in the cascade area the closes thing to me would be cumberland mall.
But the shopping center is nice they keep it clean and most of all I like all the resturant selection they have for you when you done shopping.
Please be aware on the weekend traffic is crazy!

This area is really on the come up! It’s good to see a shopping center like Camp Creek Marketplace in East Point. When I’m in Atlanta, the UPS Store, Sprint, and Barnes & Noble are first stops — but not before I hit up that Chick-​Fil-​A!

Finally, shopping for residents in South Atlanta and South Fulton! In 2003, Camp Creek Marketplace opened and business in the area has been booming ever since. Located off I-​285 and Camp Creek Parkway less than 5 miles from Hartsfield Jackson Airport, this massive shopping center has two phases. Instead of traveling north to Buckhead or Perimeter, west to Austell or south to Southlake or Fayetteville Pavilion, South Atlanta, College Park and East Point residents have yet another alternative.
The marketplace is home to an array of shopping and services.
Shopping: BJ’s, Lowe’s, Target, Barnes & Noble, Pet smart, Old Navy, Ross, Marshall’s, Circuit City, Linens ‘n Things, Pier One Imports, Sprint, Cingular Wireless, Publix, Walgreens, Lane Bryant, DSW, Barnes & Noble, Famous Footwear, EB Games, Party City, DTLR, Motherhood Maternity, etc.
Dine In Restaurants: Red Lobster, Johnny Carino’s, Ruby Tuesday, Longhorne Steak House, C’est Bön, Jason’s Deli, Chili’s
Fast Food Restaurants: Chick-​Fil-​A, Wendy’s, Moe’s, Marble Slab Creamery, Panda Express, Papa John’s, Mo-Joe’s, Supreme Fish Delight, American Deli, Zaxby’s, Starbucks, Smoothie King
