Awesome!!

The gentleman who checked us in was very friendly and welcoming! Campsite and bathrooms were clean! We will be back!

Beautiful location, friendly staff, clean restrooms.

Place was clean and organized. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The location was easy to find and had easy access to all roads.

Great campground. The camp host during our stay was Joe, and he was so friendly and helpful in helping us find our first come first serve spot. (I recommend site 18) Great mountain biking and hiking right close by. Miles and miles of off road trails in Ocala forest. We were there during hunting season and there were lots of hunters around. Kind of ruined the vibe in my opinion, but still a beautiful forest.

We stayed three nights, in Thursday, out Sunday, in loop 1, space 19. The campground is nice and well maintained. The lake and surroundings are beautiful. We shared beach space with four Sandhill Cranes one morning and they gave us quite a show. The crowd was really quiet on Thursday night, but made a bit more noise Friday and Saturday. Not bad, just had stereos playing and such, and they did get quiet before 10 PM. The sites are paved, but narrow. Ours was just exactly wide enough for our 22’ trailer withe the tires right to the edge of the pavement. There was not an inch to spare. There is quite a bit of traffic noise from county road 44, which for an apparently rural road, stays pretty busy. Verizon cell service ranges from 0 to a weak 2 bars depending on where you stand. Using a hotspot without a booster I was able to join a video conference and did not have any issues with bandwidth. The campground staff and host were awesome.

the hosts were very pleasant n helpfull,@ answering any questions we had.we camped here numorous times over the yrs,n we are always pleased with how clean it always is.We rate this place with a 5 star.

Bear box was so convenient. This is a very beautiful, very well maintained campground. Every site is beautiful and spacious. The lake is clear and so beautiful especially in the morning. Me and my crew highly recommend this campground!

Our family camping trip was an extremely disappointing experience. Two ATV's literally drove right through our campsite (twice) at 3:30am in the morning which terrified my two young boys. We never went back to sleep and it was a miserable night.

In addition, we specifically selected Clearlake campground for the opportunity to rent canoes which was promoted on the website. Upon arrival, we were told the canoe rentals were closed due to COVID-19. The website should have been updated appropriately. We would have camped elsewhere knowing this information. We planned to stay two nights but ultimately packed up early and headed home.
