GPS: Many others were of good size. These are the pull-thru sites with concrete pads and full hookups. In general, sites here are not stacked one on top of the other… there is some breathing room. Tent sites have E. Our sewer hookup was way too high and made dumping difficult.
The water hookup was below ground and when it rained it was below water—it would be impossible to create a sanitary hookup under those circumstances. This campground is near a good size city. See above. It was gross, and perhaps even dangerous.
We stayed at Claystone for 5 nights. In spite of its shortcomings—a below ground water hookup that was underwater when it rained and difficult to access any time, a too-high sewer hookup, failed toilet stall door, showers and laundry, prohibition of alcohol—there is a lot to recommend this place. Our site was large and the concrete pad portion if not level, very close. The campground is on the shore of man-made lake, Tobesofkee and the surroundings are quite pleasant.
There was little if any road noise and we heard no trains. It was quiet at night—all the time really because there were few campers, it being so late in the camping season. Birds were surprisingly abundant—it was November. There is also a butterfly garden which, to our surprise, had quite a few butterflies flitting about in early November.
There were a lot of squirrels in the area. The recreation area of which the campground is but a part is of significant size. It includes numerous picnic tables and BBQ grills, shelters, a sand beach which in season has several staffed lifeguard towers. Lets not forget the lake which is pretty big. People swim, boat and fish. There is disc golf in the campground too. Walking around the Claystone Park area is nice too.
