Our Take

What makes Sarah's Creek Campground (Clayton, GA) special

Deep in the mountains near Lakemont, Georgia, Sarah's Creek Campground offers a tranquil escape that feels wonderfully removed from the modern world. With 23 sites arranged beneath a dense canopy of hemlock, rhododendron, and hardwoods, this campground shares the same primitive, unhurried spirit as its neighbor West Fork, yet maintains a character all its own. The Chattooga River, one of the Southeast's most celebrated wild and scenic waterways, flows nearby, drawing paddlers, anglers, and swimmers to its clear, boulder-strewn channels. Even if whitewater is not your thing, the Chattooga corridor offers outstanding hiking along trails that follow the river through old-growth forest, past waterfalls, and across mossy footbridges that feel straight out of a storybook. At camp, the atmosphere is refreshingly simple. There are no hookups and no paved pads, just shaded, level ground beside a mountain creek where the water runs cold and clear. The sound of Sarah's Creek murmuring past your tent is the kind of natural white noise that leads to deep, restorative sleep. This campground is a perfect fit for those who prefer their camping on the quieter, more grounded side. If you want to trade screens and schedules for firelight and flowing water, Sarah's Creek Campground near Lakemont will welcome you with open arms and gentle mountain silence.
