Nice campground local to the Dallas area. We enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend at Clear Lake campground. Camp hosts were friendly and very helpful. Campground road is worn out but still passable. Sites are spread out and we only needed one block to level the trailer, though had to line it up miss the crumbling pavement for our tongue jack. Interior sites are shaded, Exterior sites are lake-side, though our interior site had good lake views as well, owing to the generously spread out campsites. Full hookups. There's a nice, quiet, mowed trail a bit over 2.5 miles through the campground, boat ramp, and closed area of old day use and boat ramp. We will definitely revisit this local campground.

Some sites don’t have trees trimmed for big rigs. I was willing to trim so I could park and get far enough in to make an electrical connection, but host said I couldn’t. I had to switch sites at the last minute. Some sites have the asphalt coming apart and deep ruts. There is also a deep rut on the exit gate too which is so narrow I was afraid the rig would tip slightly and hit the gate post. It is also frustrating that 4 regular sites are now taken up by camp host or maintenance people. They are not using the two two by the gate. It is frustrating because to reduces the amount available for tax prayers.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
