Overall, the park has charm but would benefit from improved maintenance and facilities.

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 mi through the campground, boat ramp, and closed area of old day use and boat ramp. We will definitely revisit this local campground.

We loved Clear Lake park, lot of trees and our neighbors were very friendly. We were in space # 6 Lots of shade and a wonderful lake view. Family visited and we had a great area to set up a game of horseshoe. Had a great time.
