The drinking water should be tested for portability. It does not smell potable.

This campground is a hidden gem! Site 13 is such a great spot. It has beautiful views of the lake and privacy from the sites next to it. I loved that I could walk down to the lake from my site. The bathrooms, showers, and dish washing room were very clean and in good shape. I really liked that there were multiple spots for drinking water & trashcans throughout the campground. The hiking trail was well maintained, but keep an eye out for snakes! When I went it was a little too cold for swimming, but I did Paddleboard around the lake which was so nice. Overall a great spot and cant wait to come back.

Camper beside us ran their generator from 6am (pitch dark) till 9:50 that night.
@MARLINH206A9BC · Camped on Mar 7, 2024 at Campsite #13
Generators are allowed to start at 6am and our camping neighbor started his at exactly that time every morning! Who gets up at that time camping!! It reverberated our camper! We timed it running for 10 1/2 hours straight! We will not be back to this place. Couldn't wait to leave! I've camped all my life & this was our 2nd worst camping experience ever! Most campgrounds let generators start at 8:00 am. We thought we would get a break when the daylight savings time started, but no, they started it at 5:00am at the old time! No consideration for others!

One of the most beautiful settings of all the eastern N.A. Parks. Waking each day to the call of Sandhill Cranes with morning mists rising from the lake is simply magical. The campground is superbly maintained and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful. Extensive trails enrich the immediate experience and close proximity to kayaking opportunities including nearby Juniper Springs and Alexander Springs make Clearwater a fabulous base for diverse adventures and discoveries.

I hate to say how great this place is to avoid more people discovering it but it is one of the best places we have camped which is why it is our go to place to camp.

We were on Site 13 in the first loop, which had a nice view of the lake. The sites are generally well separated, but the pads are somewhat narrow for maneuvering and many of the sites will need leveling for RVs. The staff and hosts were friendly and attentive. We camped on the weekdays right before Christmas, so there were not that many campers. The bathhouses were well maintained, so no issues there other than the shower heads needing replacement. There is a nice trail around the lake and a trailhead for the Florida Trail a short hike away along the entrance driveway.

Lovely Place. Nice and quiet. Caught a few nice bass. Did the hike around the lake a few times. We did experieince a few chigger bites so be aware and use repellant. We will definately be back!

Restrooms were clean and staff was friendly. Paved campsite parking area is narrow and all tires must be on pavement.

The staff was great. The beauty and tranquility of the lake very relaxing. The bathrooms were clean.

Really good camping sites. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Views of the lake were mesmerizing.

We ended up here only because it was the only place with available spots, and I'm so glad it worked out that way bc we ended up having THE best camping trip. This place is definitely on our favorites list now & we plan to be returning guests many times over. Our camp spot was just perfect. Right next to the lake w/ partial shade from the trees. Sunsets were amazing with the water view. Having a lake to jump into to cool off was nice, and fishing in it was even nicer. We cought a big, fat Bass for dinner. The whole atmosphere on that campground was just awesome! Everyone was helpful & friendly. The couple running it (if that's how you say it) are just genuinely good people. Mr. Gordon took time out & taught my son some fishing skills throughout our stay & when my son finally caught that Bass, Mr. Gordon came by & taught him how to filet it. The bathrooms were nice. Big, lit up & very clean. Having a hot shower before bed was nice too. 2 nights flew by too fast & we weren't ready to leave this place, & we ended up extending our stay. I cannot wait to go back!

We visit this location every year and always have a great experience! The front gate support (Emma) was helpful, informative, pleasant and professional. Each of our sites had been well maintained. The restroom/shower/dish cleaning facilities were equally well maintained. Looking forward to next year!
