Clear Creek is a beautiful place to camp! The sites are large and mostly wooded. At 8,500 feet, it's always cool at night during the summer. The camp host for 2024 could use some personality training, but other than that, it's a good choice!

Very nice campground!! Loved that water was accessible there in the campground. Lots of great hikes and the Camp Hosts were very nice and helpful. They knew the area and were able to give ideas for things to do. Would recommend this campground highly!!

Nice setting, but not quite as nice as nearby Rio de las Vacas CG. We have dogs, and one thing that's great about this place is that you can cross the road and go into the group picnic area and let your dogs run around for a bit if no one is there.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
