Had a nice weekend even though it rained on Saturday. Campsite was good, maybe need to keep grass areas mowed. Bathrooms were clean for the most part, but the wife decided to shower in travel trailer due to no hot water in one of the stalls and there was only one other one available but in use.
Roads and RV/TT parking pavement needs improvement,
If you are camping over the weekend, We would definitely suggest you arriving early due to Awful traffic coming from the Lucas area.
On a Good Note, the live in park attendant was very welcoming and helpful in giving us information on the Clear Lake and a couple of other parks at Lake Lavon. We left early (due to more rainstorms) and was actually contacted by Her. She wanted to confirm we checked out early, and after confirming she gave us a partial refund! This is definitely a plus for this park. Keep up the Good work and keep pushing to improve Clear Lake Park!

This park has potential to be incredible but is obviously neglected. What a shame. Bathroom roof leaks, grass not kept mowed, roads are terrible, many potholes. Day use area looks ran down, in need of repairs. The covered picnic tables are very nice. It was quiet and peaceful.

Electricity poles were intermittently working we had to move twice. Our first site 18 power poles quit working so they moved us to site 1, then site 1 also started having power issues of intermittently working. They had 18 repaired so we moved back to 18. A hassel moving back and forth. Everything else was ok. Bathrooms and showers could use updating.

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.
