Bloomington East Park includes Cedar Ridge, Hickory/Walnut, and Oak Campgrounds, Ash and Elm Group Camps, and Bloomington Beach Picnic Shelters. The park is located just west of Clinton Lake, between the Rock Creek and Wakarusa River arms of the lake, and offers several different recreational options. Within Bloomington East Park, visitors have the opportunity to reserve picnic shelters and campsites, both for group camping and individual family camping.
Attended a public event here. The restrooms were very clean with antibiotic soap at each sink. Not sure if the event put them there but I felt better that they were there. The grounds were very clean and well maintained.
A very nice well run federal camping area. The camping areas are nice and clean. The people who run the camp drive around on a nice electric mini-car at night and keep a good eye on things. I come out here once a year to meet friends for a small gathering.
Because of safe atmosphere of the camping area, there are many of children riding around on their bicycles and they don't always watch so you must keep an eye out for them. They do seem well behaved thought.
There is a nearby boat dock but fishing seems to be limited to that area. There could be some other ways to the lake but I didn't have time to explore them.
There is a good sized , brick restroom / shower area at the center of camp. There are other smaller wood framed restrooms located in a number of areas that have running water.
There seems to be ample hookups for campers, large and small.
Overall, a good experience.
This place is clean and the people are really nice there 8s a little shop down the road that sells fire wood and ice plus some other random things.
The place is great. Nice place to do camping, spend your day relaxing, fishing, outdoor activities.
