Clearwater Lake Rec Area

I was caught off guard that walk ins were no longer allowed, that I had to have a pre paid reservation. There was minimal cell service at Clearwater Lake. So I had to leave the campground, drive a few miles and pull off when I had good cell service to make a reservation. I was not happy about that.

We camp here several times a year. No electric at sites. Water is available at several locations. Dump station is also available. The staff is friendly and professional. There are multiple hosts on site and they do a great job of The campground is very well maintained. The trail access is exceptional, the Paisley trail leads to Alexander Springs. Bath and shower areas are always very clean. There is a separate dish washing area in each bathhouse. Strict compliance required to parking(all wheels) only on the paved areas, so be sure your total rig fits, some sites are on the small side. There is a small day use parking area at the lake and also the trailhead area. Protect the bears, follow appropriate food and garbage storage/disposal. Bear boxes were at all the sites that we used. Ice and firewood is available during daytime hours. Canoe rental as well. Minimal AT&T coverage. Very few campers use generators, quiet hours are maintained. Sandy areas to launch canoes or kayaks. Largemouth(1-3 lb) and bluegill are the fish we catch.

Pretty area. But when we went people beside us up past quit time playing and talking loud. Had dogs that they did not keep on leashes, used bathroom and they did not pick up after them. Also walking thru our campsite so we worried about things getting taken. Hopefully if we come back not that way again.

Greatest spot to camp out! Recommend!

Great place to camp and fish.

The bathrooms have dirt up to the ceilings. Bathroom floors were soaking wet! Mosquitoes were every where. Campground grounds was in good condition . Incredible hiking in the area. All the camp Hosts was extremely helpful

Peaceful well appointed amenities.

Camped at Clearwater Lake. Just have to say that the camp hosts do an excellent job at keeping the facilities clean. The camp experience was top notch.

We were on Site 13 in the first loop, which had a nice view of the lake. The sites are generally well separated, but the pads are somewhat narrow for maneuvering and many of the sites will need leveling for RVs. The staff and hosts were friendly and attentive. We camped on the weekdays right before Christmas, so there were not that many campers. The bathhouses were well maintained, so no issues there other than the shower heads needing replacement. There is a nice trail around the lake and a trailhead for the Florida Trail a short hike away along the entrance driveway.

Well maintained facilities, ample amenities, clean restrooms, etc.. Take a walk around the lake to enjoy the Live Oaks, Palm trees and wildlife. Look for some awesome sunsets too
