Clark Creek North Campground – 22
06.14.22-06.19.22 Only 24 sites in the whole campground, but I managed to book my favorite site for my birthday camping trip. Clark Creek Campground is located in Bartow County on Lake Allatoona. It is run by the county and can only be booked through their website. (More details on how to book later.) The campground is split into two sections and is separated by a bridge. We have only stayed in Clark Creek North and like that section better than South, however the perk to the south is that’s where the campground beach and boat dock is. North has one bathhouse and 24 sites. Heather’s favorite site is 14 which…

McKinney Campground – 43
04.06.22-04.10.22 Changing your booking to what you would think is a better site in the campground doesn’t always work in your favor.

Fort Yargo State Park
02.18.22-02.21.22 Our family opened the 2022 camping season by checking off another state park, Fort Yargo. Three-day weekends mean we can drive a little farther and this trip took us about 2 hours east to Winder, GA. Fort Yargo State Park opened in 1954, but the log fort used to provide protection to the settlers was built in 1792. The state park is situated around a 260-acre lake that is great for jon boats, kayaks, paddle boards, and canoes. The other main attraction to the park is the 20 miles of trails for mountain biking. Fort Yargo State Park has two campground loops, 6 yurts, and 16 cottages. In total…
