The rangers and supporting staff do an excellent job keeping the sites clear and bathrooms replenished. The outboard sites have a good view of the lake and there is a lot of shade to keep you cool. Excellent weekender location.

Very nice campground, had a great view from our site. bathhouses were clean. Had a very nice weekend.

You need something for kids other than the bike trail. Also would like to see the bike trail wider.

This campground is very well cared for! Restroom buildings are somewhat older but super clean. Many sites are level, although some have a sloped approach until nearing the end. My van had no trouble getting level on one of these. The ladies at the check-in building were friendly and helpful. I liked that the campground has an entry gate with code to enter. I appreciate that this keeps out people just wanting to drive around. The only thing that surprised me in a negative way was that water and electric had separate additional charges at this campground. I have encountered this at very, very few National Forest campgrounds with water or electric available. This is a very popular campground and reservations in advance are recommended. I would certainly want to return here in the future.

Loved our trip next time we know to bring our boat i grew up on smith lake and love it
@ArleneTA331298 · Camped on Mar 30, 2026
The location on the water is beautiful. The showers do not get hot and turn off after a minute, so you must continue to push the button while showering.
@RebeccaM167754 · Camped on Mar 29, 2026
First night we were there. The people across the lake in the loop above us were yelling a screaming at each other. And I think they either knocked or cut down a dead tree into the fire ring. But the next day they were gone and the rest of the time was good except for the lady next to us was up at three or four am hollering and cussing to someone on speaker phone.

Tammy, the park manager, is terrible to have to talk to or deal with. She is the only person we had any issues with. Our camp area hosts were wonderful!!! Kept everything very clean and were a pleasure to be around.

We love camping at clear creek. It is a beautiful campground ,clean and close to home. I feel there are a few things they could do better.
@JamesN8387586 · Camped on Mar 22, 2026 at Campsite #76
We always have a great time. Really wish there was full hook up
@BarbaraW341429 · Camped on Mar 19, 2026
Stayed in site 52. The views of the lake and sounds of nature were awesome... the boats speeding up and down the lake, not so much. The bathroom was nothing special. I went on Saturday to take a shower and there was only one shower stall which wasn't a problem because no one else was in there. The problem was that there was no warm water and the temperature outside was pretty chilly. Cell phone was ok. All in all, it was a great weekend and we've already booked another weekend in April.

Campground was nice and quiet, right before Spring Break was about to start, some of the locals said it was about to be very busy. Finding our check in information, pinned on the board, was not communicated by email or text.

We had a great time! We cant wait to come back this summer when its warm enough for the kids to swim! We brought our 4 grandchildren ages 4 months- 5 years old! They absolutely loved it!! They rode their bikes and scooters and loved going on our hikes! (We have att and our service picked up pretty good!)
@LisaR8773346 · Camped on Mar 13, 2026

We had a great experience the weekend before Halloween. Our grandchildren really enjoyed seeing all the Halloween decorations and participating in the activities and trick-or-treating. The only things I would add our individual dump tanks at each site and a playground. Oh yeah, and heaters in the shower houses during colder weather.

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.

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.
