Best Time to Visit

Clayton is an excellent destination for tourists all year round. However, we believe that the best time to visit Clayton is summer. This way, you'll be able to spend as much time outside as possible to see all the wonders surrounding Clayton.

The town's summers usually truly start by the end of June and end in September. During this period, make sure to dedicate some time to hiking or even camping in the Black Rock Mountain State Park.

Black Rock is the highest park in Georgia, with an altitude of 3,640 feet, making the area a bit colder than the rest of Georgia, so it's the best place to escape the summer heat. The park offers ten mountain top cottages and more than 70 various campsites, including tent and RV options. Come down to the beautiful 17-acre lake. There you can enjoy fishing or paddling, surrounded by the beautiful scenery of lush trees.
And definitely take some time to go for a hike and meet mesmerizing streams and small waterfalls, along with beautiful wildflowers.

The Summit Visitor Center will tell you everything about the history and plans of the Black Rock Mountain State Park and offer you some convenient amenities like picnic areas, restrooms, free wi-fi, and a gift shop.

Discounts for Hotel Stays in Clayton, GA

You'll find plenty of discounts and offers available when you book your stay. No matter what time of the year you visit, you'll be able to find a good deal on a room. Check out our selection of discounted hotels and motels! Don't miss out on the savings.

Cultural Life of Clayton, GA

If you'd like to dive into the Southern art scene, visit the Main Street Gallery. It was established in 1985 to represent artists primarily from the south of the United States. It features a variety of artistic expressions, from crafts to fine art, with folk art as a centerpiece. Main street Gallery is a premier destination for contemporary folk or self-taught art.

Trip to Atlanta

And if you're ready for the biggest adventure, you could embark on traveling to Atlanta while in the Clayton area! Atlanta is a two-hour drive away. However, on your way you'll see so many incredible natural landmarks that the whole trip will pass in the blink of an eye, and you'll definitely want to come back. You'll pass by numerous parks and recreational areas along the Chattahoochee River, Little River, Chestatee Bay, Flat Creek, and Lake Lanier. Don Carter State Park, Lake Lanier Olympic Park, Atlanta Botanical Garden, Port Royale Marina, Mary Alice Beach Park, these and so many more gems will keep your head spinning 360°, and it's just half of the way! And when you get to Atlanta, allocate some time to visit Zoo Atlanta, Cellairis Amphitheater at Lakewood, and a unique Trap Music Museum. Your schedule will tear at its seams from all the entertainment, style, and fun Atlanta has in store.
