Clear Creek (AL)

Overall a good trip. The campground was full and the parents of the kids did not try to control some of the kids and the kids were more of a hindrance as I was walking my dogs than anything.

The campground itself is so beautiful. I’ve been going there for years. The management however leaves a lot to be desired. They were not nice to me or my father. I paid for a double lot so that I would have four parking spaces. My father went and paid for a day pass to stay with us. He didn’t know the proper thing to tell them. So he did what they said. THEN I came to the office to explain it to them and they still wouldn’t let him drive to our campsite. They were not understanding at all. Of course they kept all the money and my father went back home. The golden rule doesn’t apply at Clear Creek. I can assure you that I would never treat someone’s 81 year old father the way they treated mine. You need new management. You need people who are trained in customer service.

The lady who runs it was much nicer this time. We’ve had bad experiences with her in the past.
I was very disappointed there wasn’t hot water in the shower. It’s not pleasant taking a cold shower. The campsites are nice. It’s a beautiful place!

Personnel were outstanding! They did not accept our America the beautiful or disabled access pass. Also, trails were not kept up. Signs were unreadable, steps and bridges were in disrepair, trails were covered in foliage.

It would be better if you could pick your spot by driving back into the campground to actually see the site in person.

Great camping sites, good views, all round nice place to go and camp

It was our first time taking out an RV, the staff was friendly, fellow campers as well. Beautiful scenery, e bikes seemed popular but we enjoyed the walks.

Campground is kept very clean. Most staff are nice and accommodating although they are super strict on the rules here.

Enjoyed how close it is from out home. Has lots of activities fishing, swimming, and hiking. The only thing is the showers are cold.

If you value your time and peace of mind, I strongly advise you to avoid Clear Creek Recreation Area in Alabama. My recent stay was, without exaggeration, the most frustrating experience I have ever had. From the moment of arrival, it became clear that the facility—managed by the concessionaire **BA Services**—is plagued by systemic mismanagement and a total lack of transparency regarding their operations.
The check-in process is an unnecessarily convoluted obstacle course. The gated entry, rather than providing actual security, acts as a barrier to basic hospitality, and the management team seems intent on keeping guests in the dark about critical rules until a conflict arises. Communication from BA Services is abysmal, and their onsite staff seem to spend their entire shift driving around in golf carts, preoccupied with enforcing arbitrary rules just to exert power and make themselves feel in charge. Even worse, their enforcement is completely inconsistent; while they were quick to harass us over minor issues, they completely ignored other guests parking their boats at our campsite and taking off for loud midnight fishing trips, showing a blatant disregard for campsite etiquette. I personally witnessed BA Services employees ignoring their own rules to let family and friends into the park for free, spending their work hours socializing with their guests while they were supposedly "on the clock" and managing the property. Beyond these failures, the atmosphere is deeply unwelcoming; the hosts were consistently unfriendly, contributing to an environment that felt hostile rather than inviting. It is clear that customer satisfaction is not a priority for this company. This is not the type of environment where one can relax; it is a masterclass in how not to manage a property. I cannot recommend Clear Creek to anyone, and I certainly will not be returning. Save yourself the frustration and take your business to a facility that actually respects its guests.
