Awesome little playground close to Clayton, GA. I visit often since I love mountain bike riding. Decent trails accessible right from the campground. Facilities on the campground are average/above average. While there, drive to Bell Mountain. Awesome view of Lake Chatuge.

The location was beautiful and so clean! I was excited that the bathrooms and showers were very clean as well, but take note that none of the bathrooms have hand soap, so make sure to bring your own. The Chatuge Dam walking trail is nearby and is lovely any time of day. We made the 53 minute drive to Tallulah Gorge State Park and it is a must-see! Breathtaking views and both moderately easy and difficult hiking trails.
