Wilkins Creek Campground

The only campground at Atlanta State Park not located on the lake (sad face), you’ll still be able to enjoy a wonderful camping experience and most of the other bells and whistles also available at Atlanta’s other campgrounds such as water/electricity hookups, picnic tables and bathroom/shower facilities.

And alas, these grounds are still only about a 10 minute walk from the lake (happy face). These 20 sites are located right on top of the Hickory Hollow Hiking Trail, a .8 mile loop that is an excellent way to get the day started off right!
