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.

Wonderful campground for swimming. The water is Crystal clear and warm with a sandy bottom. Camp workers are always done peasant. My only complaint was we were told we needed to be out of the water at 5:30 which was ridiculous we were the only people there it made no sense. We got there around 4:30. Don’t know if we’ll go back for an overnight stay again.

We have been camping here for years. The campground is great. The online booking is not so great. Forced to pay for 3 nights even though we only stayed for 2, due to Monday being a Holiday (Columbus day?)

The bath house was always spotless! The rules and restrictions were ridiculous concerning pets. There are so many of us that travel with our pets and all the restrictions keep us from enjoying campgrounds. I understand not letting them on the very small beach but not on the trail around the pond is kinda just plain wrong. AND THEY MAKE YOU CHECK OUT TOO TO EARLY, MY CANVAS TENT IS NOW COVERED IN MOLD DUE TO HAVING TO PACK UP DAMP!!!

The whole team at Clearwater lake is outstanding. Terri and Jerry are wonderful. They are always checking to make sure everything is ok. It's like they are old friends as soon as you meet them.

I was able to secure a campsite online while I was still traveling from the Atlantic coast on my way to the Gulf coast. The campsite was well maintained. The clean bathhouse with a designated dish washing station was a nice touch. I would absolutely stay there again.
