Beautiful campground located in the Bankhead National Forest. Lots of trees that provide plenty of shade. My site was spacious and level, also very private and peaceful. The bathhouse was clean. However there were no handles in the shower to adjust the water temperature. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I had good cell service at my site. FYI, for anyone using a senior national park pass, this campground offers a discount but not the normal 50% off. I think it has something to do with the contractor that manages the facility. I enjoyed my stay.

We really like camping at Clear Creek Recreational, the sites are great. They are NOT full hook-up. ( Water and Electric Only). The only problem we have is that you can not have 2 cars on your site unless the 2nd car is a registered camper. I feel like if you have a visitor to come visit your site and you only have one registered vehicle then you should be allowed a 2nd car, at no cost to them. Then I understand any car over two would need to pay to park and car left at the "Day use Area". I feel like this is just a way to get extra money and it is ridiculous. If you pay for a single site , that two cars are allowed, then 2 cars should be allowed, whether they are the camper or not!!

Very nice campground. The only thing we noticed was the grass needed mowed. There was an old boat ramp that was great to launch our kayaks from. We stayed in the Bear loop and we were the only ones there. There are 2 pull through sites that made it easy for us to park our RV. There are no sewer hookups but the dump station was easy to get in and out of. There is water available at the dumpsite to clean your tanks.

Fawn Loop is small but quiet. Hoot Owl and Fox are a little crowded but the views are great. Huge swimming area, two boat ramps. Clean waterways. Bathhouses need some pest control but thats normal for most campgrounds. Only issues were with the front office staff.
@JasonS8132232 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #78D
The trip was really good and nice scenery. But I would highly recommend getting rid of the staff there the girl up front and Tammy isn't very nice or pleasant to deal and made the trip miserable. Me and the other group I was with had trouble with them. After getting back home and talking to others that ls been there everyone has experienced this with Tammy.
@DesRaeC3ACD7BB · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #76
It was really chill, clean and people were polite. There was some beautiful little water falls on some of the trails. Highly recommend.
@WendyI630419CF · Camped on Jun 15, 2025
It was a beautiful camp. The older employees were very adamant about not breaking parking rules. We have a camper van so, I guess it could be confusing. My father uses a scooter and had to drive down to unload his scooter. We had to do a lot of extra back and forth to be sure he could access his scooter to get around while visiting. We were threatened with having his vehicle towed from overflow parking. He is a disabled veteran who lives in the area of the camp, which is why we chose this location to visit.

Beautiful campground with lots of shade trees. Our site had lake view with trail leading down to water. A bit of a steep climb. This is a double site so lots of room with asphalt drive & gravel picnic area. Very clean park with different camp loops. Each loop had it's own bathhouse. Plenty of space between sites so even though our loop was full you didn't feel cramped together. Nearby town of Jasper about 12 miles away has everything you'd need. Will definitely be back to this one. Only negative & not a huge deal is when making reservations there is an additional fee for electricity & fee for online reservations so even with my Senior Pass discount price was a little high. But worth it I believe.
@MitchellJCB4AD · Camped on Jun 13, 2025
Sites are level with lots of shade
@NelsonDF8B44F5 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #99
A campground for all! One loop is great for families spending a Summer on the lake, one is great for biking to the swimming area, and one is great for singles, couples without children. Bear loop has no entertainment for kids, all of the other loops are more kid friendly. Take a fan and extra extension cord!
@LisaL2148259 · Camped on May 23, 2025
Our camper had an electrical fire before we could even get unpacked so we had to leave and we didnt get a dime refunded. Not a pleasant experience
@GregT4806808 · Camped on May 23, 2025
Bathhouse on Fox loop the shower would not stay on longer enough to get wet . Site was clean and maintained. I was in site 8 and if it rains expect a waterfall on your site. It was level and a good view of lake. If you go out of park they require you to give them your registration coming back in to check your tag number each time which slows process down.
@tommyJ63541542 · Camped on May 22, 2025
Campground was great. Host were around campground taking care of campsites and bathhouses. Would definitely camp here again
@LindaM3264387 · Camped on May 22, 2025
Had a wonderful time. The staff was so nice and helpful. Our site and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The only suggestion I have is that there would be more than one shower in the shower house. I will be going back soon.
@AprilC1313313 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #67D
We were on lot 67 and it has the worst ditch/pulley in front of it from past work that was done and it is NOT filled in properly. We also had an older lady host who was extremely rude to my husband. She came up to him with an attitude from the start about something that should have been handled in a nice way. There's no excuse for that kind of behavior.
@BrittaB8249668 · Camped on May 19, 2025
Great park and well kept. If you want cell service you may want to be on the Bear loop. The loops that are at the bottom of the hill get little to no service. We hiked the Raven Trail and really enjoyed it. But be aware of ticks, there are plenty of them. We had to thoroughly inspects our selves and remove ticks off our clothes.
@LORIG5494827 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #71
Very private sites with a lot of trees. Level sites. Very clean bathroom / shower. Bike / hike trailheads in campground.
@RandyD4C6CDBDB · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #75
Staff was amazing but the campsite was overgrown and ticks everywhere.
@johnnieg56CF7C · Camped on May 8, 2025
clean campsites
@DurwinBC867F9D · Camped on Apr 25, 2025
The people who run the camp ground are too strict. We and others came in 1.5 hrs before 2 pm check in time. We were all trying to beat a on coming storm. We had friends who had checked in the day before and knew our lot had already been checked and cleaned. The lady at the gate made six of us wait until check in time. Of course the bottom fell out and the weather caused all of us problems. The main lady was unfriendly and was rude to everyone. She needs training on being friendly and accommodating.. or she needs to be in a different field.
@DavidS3927304 · Camped on Apr 24, 2025 at Campsite #71
There was no hot water in the showers. The host was very nice.Checkin didn't apply my senior pass when I gave it to her.
@RandallL478612 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025

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!!!
