Clearwater Lake Rec Area

Terry and Jerry are amazing hosts! The bath houses were incredibly clean and well maintained. The campsites were all immaculate with bear boxes for your food, a pristine grill and fire pit.
We spent every morning playing in the lake; whether kayaking or stand up paddle boarding (which we rented for next to nothing from the gate house) or just sitting in our inflatable chairs. The water is clear and warm!
We will 100% be back to camp here!!!

Quiet, bathrooms great, felt that my family was safe. Just a great experience overall.

We were amazed by the beauty of the park and lake, but unfortunately, it’s heavily infested with ticks. We’ve been camping for years and have never experienced anything like this — we found ticks in different parts of our bodies and not to mention on our dog. Four days later, we’re still dealing with them at home. There were no warning signs or prevention info at the entrance, which is very concerning. We’re honestly horrified and wish we hadn’t gone. Not sure if it’s tick season, but this was an awful experience.

Campsite 15 is the absolute best!
Can’t wait to come back.

The campground, bathhouse, and dishwashing station was kept immaculate. Very clean. The staff and camp hosts were friendly and helpful. Very close access to the Florida Trail for hiking.

Our camping spot was amazing, the views and water were amazing (very cold though). The shower facilities were cleaner than expected. The trail around the lake was amazing. Jerry and the other host were very helpful and friendly.

we stay here at least once a year and its always a great time. the staff is super friendly and accommodating. hot showers are a nice thing and the area is always clea .

I have been camping at this park many times and love it. This last visit was horrible. The noise from other campers was so loud one of us had to go and ask them to keep it down. They were playing music and screaming well into the night. Both loops had many sites that were very loud, kids running through other campsites and several teens right by our site on the water yelling loudly at 7:00 in the morning. The bathrooms smelled horrible when we arrived but that was cleaned up the next day. I am sure there is not much you can do, but you have a right to know.

Small lake, but very quiet. Nice shady sites and clean bathroom. I was in B loop.

Beautiful campground, well maintained, with friendly staff. Our site was more sloping than we expected, but we were able to get our trailer level with a little work. Our site was also a bit short to fit our trailer and truck but we were able to park the truck in the day use parking area close by. Nature trail around the lake was very nice and sunsets by the lake were beautiful.
