Nice clean RV Park. Hosts were very helpful and fun to visit with. We'll be back .

The restrooms were very clean. Unfortunately, some dog owners dont pick up after their pets, even when they are on or near another campers spot. In this particular instance, the dogs were a Great Dane and a Husky.

Great facilities and people

We truly enjoyed our visit this year. From the twice daily migration of the geese to the herd of deer on the final day. The guests seemed to be well behaved and actually quiet at night. Such a beautiful setting with a view of the distant lake.

Been coming to this park for years. Never a disappointment and its like my home away from home!

Very nice Pull through site. Lots of room, plenty long for a 28ft ft trailer and truck. End site, so only neighbors on one side. Great park. Good disc golf

Had issue with previous camper staying past check out,Need 50 amp upgrade. More shade trees planted where new ones were have died.

We love Bloomington East and Clinton Lake. We have been camping there for over 15 years. All the rangers and volunteers take very good care of the campgrounds and buildings. Would like to see the electrical updated. We have had to replace our 30 amp connection 3 times due faulty electrical at the site. More 50amp sites should be added. Most of the rigs that come to Bloomington East don't work with or at least work well with 30amp connections. The people who pull or drive these 50amp only rigs prefer Bloomington East to anywhere in the area, including other lakes. Thanks for making this campground such a good destination!

Bloomington East at Clinton Lake is one of the nicer campgrounds in the Midwest. There are a number of large paved sites with well manicured lawn and plenty of tree coverage. Many sites have full hookups and it's a quiet campground. Clinton Lake is one of the larger bodies of water in the Kansas/Nebraska area and is as pretty as any. The Other Bloomington Campground is closer to Lawrence, quite a bit bigger, but is busier and not quite as manicured. This is one of the better campgrounds within a 3-hour drive from Omaha and less than an hour from the KC Metro.

Favorite spot closest to home! The campsites are clean, quiet, and a beach nearby for water activities. There are sometimes Eagle nest sightings!
@MichaelR189137 · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #C53
Nice park, level space, clean bathhouse!

We had a wonderful turnout for our fundraiser @castingforkody. Over 100 people showed up, 20 boaters for the 1st annual Casting for Kody Crappie Tournament. Thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers, camp host, and park rangers
@LyndaDBDCF7550 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #C48
Great place to stay. Clean, pads are paved and wide, lots of room between campsites. Bathrooms were good as was the shower house. We've been there twice in 2 years and will go back.
@MargaretOCB865 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #C26
About 20 min to major highways, all paved roads, once at campground little hard to find spot as signage very small
@JanetS0297B0CF · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #C51
We enjoyed our stay at Clinton, Cedar Ridge Campground. Grounds are very well kept. The restroom was very clean. No bugs, no spiderwebs, and even a bottle of hand soap. This is not usually the case shortly at the end of the summer. The showers were equally as clean. The showers were without mold growing in the cement blocks. It looked as tho it had been just freshly painted. Again, no bugs! I watched the camp workers clean the fire pits and sanitize the picnic tables after campers had left. We always enjoy camping here. This time was the best!
@MandyM9BB5ED74 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #151
The camping locations were great, close to beach trail, etc. but both sites that we rented were covered in longjawed orbweaver spiders. They covered everything from the picnic tables, cars, coolers and camping furniture and we would clear everything off and then overnight they would cover everything again.
@RonJ7407139 · Camped on Sep 11, 2025 at Campsite #202
It was difficult to find someone in the park to answer questions because we were there before the employee/volunteer came in at 3:00 P.M. Also, couldn't figure out which sites might be first come first serve. Park is well laid out, paved roads, big sites, reasonable price with our Senior Pass. Clean restroom/shower facility.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
