Clear Lake Campsite

This is our favorite primitive campsite. We like the crystal clear water, hiking around the lake, and privacy. There are often people coming to fish in this lake, so it’s not a true, remote destination with solitude.

The 2 miles of gravel road was really about 20. There was not ANY signs to mark campground or camp sight however the direction locator at the site manager got us to within a mile of location. The only reason whey we found site was the education center a 1/2 mile away which was marked was having a wedding that Saturday night. The people at the wedding had no idea about a camp nearby but the cooks did know and directed us. The only good thing besides the mystery and adventure was the bag of cookies the one cook gave us!

Beautiful spot, but our experienced was soured by a family that was at the site when we arrived. They were quite aggressive and insisted that it was a public beach. I get the impression that they do this often. Grass on the site was overgrown and the mosquitos were bad. I don't think I would stay here again. All that said, the lake was gorgeous and the stars were amazing.

2nd year here in a row. Weather was terrible. Still made the best of it. Bmwill be back next year

Wonderful location! Couldn't ask for a better view. Will definitely go back!

Campsite and lake were excellent. Access into site was a bit dicy. Uneven and narrow but if your good at backing a trailer can be done. Only negative on trip was group of rude Side-by-side ATV riders. Drove in to boat launch and cranked music, yelled, screamed, and generally showed no courtesy whatsoever.

The campsite is very nice, private and beautiful location. The only difficult part is finding it since google maps does not take you directly to the location, make sure you read the reservation document that tells you exactly which forest road (FR) and which sub road like J, I, K is it located on. We had an amazing time, hope you do too.

Private lake and site

So, to start off this isn’t a camp site for those wanting luxury. That is unless the woods, lake, nature, beautiful sunsets and a disconnect from the real world is your jam. There’s very little service at Clear Lake. However we were ok with it and occupied ourselves kayaking, fishing, hiking, camp cooking, swimming and just enjoying our family time. We brought our three kids with us under the age of 9. The swimming area is lovely. They swam most of the time we camped. There is no toilet so we packed our portable and “roughed it “. The only complaint I have is the amount of cars coming in and out to use the boat launch. Maybe it’s common with it being good fishing? I feel like most small lakes in this area have the car traffic. But over all I enjoyed the site. Hornets were a problem for a few days but we set up a hornet trap and that helped. Camp area was clean. And did a good rake and clean after for the next family. Hope this provides some insight!! Ps. Bring your camera.. the sunset is seriously just the best here.

Peaceful and secluded
