We love this place. Caretakers are amazing and take great care of the rec area and camp sites.. Bathrooms are clean and all facilities well maintained. We try to visit as many parks as we can but always come back to Clearwater Lake Rec Area as out favorite. Great starviewing on a clear night. This campground is what got my then 4 year old daughter into camping. I don't want to say too many good things because I want my favorite site to be avaliable.

Over $130 dollars for tent camping for three nights?! Not a fan of the new policy that makes you book three nights on holiday weekends. Eight dollars in fees just to book online? Really?! We ended up going home early as all we wanted was two nights. These prices are going to push more people into boondocking which will be bad for forrest health in the long term. The facilities were well maintained, as you should expect for that price.

Camped at Clearwater Lake. Just have to say that the camp hosts do an excellent job at keeping the facilities clean. The camp experience was top notch.

Overall, the facility was very good. I wish there was something in the description of this particular tent site could easily have a large amount of water coming through during a thunder storm.

Staff friendly, clean restrooms. Lived in area, camped years ago-the campsites should be cleared some where you can have a view of beautiful Clearwater lake. The vines and palmettos haven't been trimmed and thinned, so you don't even have a thin trail to get to the water from your campsite.

Very clean facilities. The staff was friendly and helpful. Nice tree canopy over all of the sites but there is limited privacy from other sites. Close to the Florida National Scenic Trail.

Tent camped here with a friend before meeting up with a group of people to backpack a couple of days on the Florida trail. Left our cars at the campground for a fee because we felt that they would be safer there than at the trailhead.Nice quiet place. Clean shower house. Only drawback was that I didn't had cell phone coverage. Had to drive a few miles to be able to contact my friend when she wasn't arriving on time.
