Elijah Clark State Park - Lincolnton, Georgia

Most sites are on the lake. The lake is beautiful and quite a few beach areas. People are docking their boats at their campsites. We are on site 53 and it has a great view with a beach area by the lake. All sites have electric and water and there is a dump station available. The visitors center/check in also has firewood and ice and a few other necessities you may have forgotten. Great park for bike riding. There seems to be a large crowd here together that clearly know each other so I’m hoping we get some sleep tonight! Bath houses with showers and laundry available.

Not a bad park if you like a developed park rather than a more out in nature experience. And the park was badly damaged in Hurricane Helene just months before we visited, so the few trails there are were closed and there was still a good deal of debris left.

This park is well developed with very nice campgrounds (obviously some sites nicer than others) and cabins for rental. The older cabins (11-20) are pictured and smallish, and they are in the process of building huge cabins (1-10) presumably in the place where old ones were removed.

Bath houses in the campground are all different with the one on the second loop across from site 140 being not so nice, the shower heads spray everywhere except for at the bather. Others are much better.

I recommend this park to “glampers” and families with children who would enjoy the playground, beach area, short trails and activities held in their shelters and amphitheater. Outdoor enthusiasts might look elsewhere.

My favorite State Park to go to in the southeast, by a significant margin. The staff are always amazing, the water is beautiful, the trails are always neat and well maintained, even after the hurricane.

We haven't been to a lot of state parks in GA yet (but we plan to see them all someday :)), but so far, Elijah Clark is my favorite. We came up here for Labor Day weekend after having been here for a weekend in June. This is a beautiful place. There are two campgrounds. Both are very nice, and the majority of the I think 165 campsites are on the water. We didn't go and look at the historical sites because we were too busy enjoying the beautiful view of the lake from our campsite, kayaking, and riding our bikes around the campground. It's Monday morning, and I am sad to be going home today. We have really enjoyed our time here and already booked a spot for Labor Day next year! On a side note, we don't use the bathhouses, but we did check out two of them in campground 2 (bathhouse #8 and #10). I went in the ladies' room and the family bathroom in #8, and both were pristine. #10 is an older building, and I didn't really get to check out the ladies' room because it was occupied by a mom and children, but my husband said the men's room was well-stocked and very clean. Also, the day use area is very nice and has a swimming beach and playground.

It's one of the nicer parks we've been to with awesome lake views, multiple places to launch a kayak, nice staff, and has a little bit of history to it. Sites are good sized with water and electric, no sewer, and the bathrooms are decent and servicable. I would put this park higher up on the list than most on the state park list. We will definitely visit again!

Campsite 14 at Elijah Clark State Park was a fantastic spot for a camping trip! The view of the lake, the shade provided by the trees, and the amenities like a picnic table, power, water, and a firepit all contributed to a comfortable and enjoyable camping experience. The restrooms are clean and have laundry facilities. It's a great area to enjoy paddleboarding without too much boat traffic. I enjoyed relaxing in the peaceful environment at the park.

Everything here is so beautiful and peaceful. The 2 campgrounds are very spacious and very well designed and maintained, and is Big rig friendly. We have a 40’ raptor and no problem to settle in, most sites are leveled, comfort stations are very convenient located that have restrooms, hot water showers and laundry rooms as well. The office staffs are so friendly and supportive, they provide the best customer service to meet our family needs. Thank you so much Debbi and Alex. We have had a great one week vacation here and will definitely come back again.
