Clearwater Lake Recreation Area is highly praised for its spacious, well-maintained campsites and friendly, supportive staff, making it a favorite for many campers. The natural setting and lake provide enjoyable swimming and outdoor activities, although there are concerns regarding ticks and the recent algae bloom in the water. Overall, visitors appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and cleanliness of the facilities, with many expressing their intention to return.

Very relaxing,
The camp host were so helpful and the place was the cleanest we have camped at.
The showers were awesome, hot water felt good in the cold weather. Everything was so handy and the campsites were very large. This place gets 5 stars from us.

My husband and I decided to try this place and we were so impressed! Beautiful lake views, hiking trail, dog-friendly. Clean bathrooms with showers. No electricity but that is fine for us because we have solar. Water pickets are available throughout campgrounds. Kayak, canoe and paddle boards are available for rent. Ice and wood available for purchase. We just loved this place. Quiet quaint campground.. So peaceful! We meet the host Jerry & Tari, very nice people. Looking forward to our next trip there!

Awesome little campground with large wooded sites. I wouldn't say it was big rig friendly but doable. We have an Alliance Paradigm 29.5 fifthwheel. You must be aware of the overhanging trees especially exiting the hwy and at the bend in loop A [swing wide]. The B loop seemed a little more big rig friendly but just the same research you site location and dimensions. When we visited [Thanksgiving weekend] the place was filled to capacity yet well maintained and the rest rooms were in good order. The campground hosts were beyond nice and more than willing to offer up help or advice. The lake is beautiful, there's nice trails to explore, just a nice park overall. Nothing fancy just a great place to view nature and relax.

This campground is a hidden gem! Site 13 is such a great spot. It has beautiful views of the lake and privacy from the sites next to it. I loved that I could walk down to the lake from my site. The bathrooms, showers, and dish washing room were very clean and in good shape. I really liked that there were multiple spots for drinking water & trashcans throughout the campground.
The hiking trail was well maintained, but keep an eye out for snakes! When I went it was a little too cold for swimming, but I did Paddleboard around the lake which was so nice. Overall a great spot and can’t wait to come back.
