About
Sarah's Creek Campground extends the same primitive feel as its neighboring West Fork Campground and the Chattooga River, offering a tranquil escape in the Chattahoochee National Forest. The 22-site developed campground is spread across three sections along Sarah's Creek Road, with each site featuring a picnic table, fire ring, and lantern post. Two vault toilets serve the campground, and bear-resistant trash bins are provided throughout. The campground sits at the doorstep of the Chattooga Wild and Scenic River, providing access to fishing, whitewater rafting, canoeing, and kayaking. Nearby hiking trails include the Bartram Trail, Chattooga River Trail, 3-Forks Trail, and Holcomb Creek Trail, with numerous waterfalls in the area. Rabun Bald, the second-highest peak in Georgia at 4,696 feet, lies to the northwest. The Warwoman Wildlife Management Area is a few miles west, and Darnell Creek Horse Trail offers opportunities for horseback riding and mountain biking. Campers should note that potable water is not available on-site. Quiet hours are enforced from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am, and generators are limited to 4 hours daily during permitted hours (6:00 am to 10:00 pm). ATVs, UTVs, and golf carts are prohibited. To prevent pest spread, campers are discouraged from transporting firewood to the campground.
Directions
From Clayton, go east on Warwoman Road for 11.6 miles. Turn left on Forest Service Road 156 (Sarah's Creek Road). Sarah's Creek Campground is approximately 2.2 miles ahead. The campground is broken up into 3 sections along that road.
