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.

I tented here for about a week and this rec area has great sites and all the necessary amenities. It is maintained very well and run by very friendly and capable staff/hosts. The restrooms, showers, and wash station are kept very clean and provide exactly what you want and need. It was a pleasure to stay here and I'll definitely stay here again.

Site was extremely spacious. We had 2 trucks in driveway and 3 tents spaced at least 20 ft apart. Picnic table was approx 10 ft long and we kept that in open air near the fire ring. The Bear Bin was very useful for keeping food stuffs organized and safe. Very quiet park even during the night hours. Women's bathroom was clean and water hot. We enjoyed the nature walk around the lake and was pleasantly surprised to see benches along the way. Only disappointment was signs for no fishing.

Great place, fantastic staff. The ranger at registration was very helpful and pleasant. She answered all my questions, gave great advice and was very friendly. The other staff assisted with renting a kayak, gave advice on different types and where to paddle and bike. Overall great place with clean bathrooms and facilities. Definitely recommend Clearwater.
