Sarah'S Creek Campground

1946 Sarah's Creek Rd., Clayton GA

Driving directionsFrom Clayton, go east on Warwoman Road for 11.6 miles. Turn left on Forest Service Road 156. Sarah's Creek camping area is about 2 miles on the left and right.
The road from Warwoman is freshly paved but narrow, transitioning to gravel that is wider and well-maintained. The last turn before reaching the campground is rough, and the gravel road is not friendly to low-clearance vehicles or sedans. One user mentioned, 'The signage can be a little confusing,' and 'I could feel every dip and hole on the gravel road.' Seasonal heavy rains could make roads challenging. Creek crossings are necessary to access the east-side sites.
Nearby places
Clayton is approximately 10 minutes (12 miles) away.
Nearby supplies
A small convenience store is located about 0.25 miles down Warwoman Road for essentials like ice. Larger supplies are available in Clayton, GA.

Best Time to Camp at Sarah'S Creek Campground

Each season paints Sarah's Creek with its own distinct palette and personality. Spring arrives with wildflowers and comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for exploration without the summer's insect chorus. Fall transforms the campground into a tapestry of amber and gold, with crisp air perfect for campfire gatherings. Summer brings warm days ideal for creek-side relaxation, though savvy campers come prepared for mosquitoes during peak months. Winter reveals a quieter, more contemplative side of the campground, rewarding hardy souls with frost-kissed mornings and the profound silence of a sleeping forest.
