Lake Tobo campgrounds about to get major improvements, will be closed for several months

The campgrounds at Lake Tobesofkee's Claystone and Arrowhead Parks are preparing to close for several weeks to make way for about $600,000 in SPLOST-funded improvements.

Claystone's campground closed on November 4, and Arrowhead's campground will close December 4. They are expected to open later in the Spring of 2025; the rest of the parks will remain open during the construction.

There is a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the start of construction on Tuesday, November 12 at 2:00 p.m. You can watch the ceremony on www.Facebook.com/MaconBibbCounty.

"This construction is going to help us attract more campers to Lake Tobo because it's going to greatly improve their experience here," says Lake Tobesofkee Director Donald Bracewell. "They'll have better access to water and electricity, and the pads will be much more durable and easier to set up on."

Both campgrounds will get new landscape timbers and gravel poured, electrical boxes, and in-ground and above ground water connections. The biggest change will be replacing the asphalt pads with concrete pads. A total of 9 docks will be added to the two campgrounds that will be available for campers to use.
