Joe made or stay special, we were given information on trails to take in the area. He was very friendly and Welcoming our whole stay. We saw a Beautiful deer as we were leaving. Ground were well kept. We had a great time and we did take some of those trails. We will be back Thank you!
2022: Back again this year. Spent 3 nights there. More green this year than ever. Again, beautiful place to camp. There are dispersed camps nearby that are decent. But this location does not allow ATVs which we love because it’s more quiet.
We also noticed the group campsite was used on this weekend and looked to have several RVs in their area.
Joe was there again and kept a close watch on everything. He’s a very good host.
(2021)Beautiful and quiet campground. Lots of space between each site except in the group areas. It’s a beautiful area and this time of year (August) there are occasional rain-showers which helps keep the area wet and less risk of fires hazards which means you can have a campfire in the designated fire pit (metal rings). The restrooms were very clean and there is available water at the campground.
Most of the sites are RV and trailer ready with asphalt (mostly level) pads. There are no pull through sites so you have to back in to each location.
The camp host, Joe, was very helpful and gave great advice. Highly recommend this campground!
THE MOST AMAZING WEEK CAMPING WITH THE FAMILY!
Clear Creek Campground is a great place to camp with kids and pets!
The sites were great! Each site is spaced out with enough distance between then for privacy, but close enough to make friends with your neighbors if you wish.
There is potable water. We brought a 5gallon water cooler, filled it up when we arrived, and that was all we needed for the week!
The bathrooms were so clean and smelled great! Yes, you read that correctly.
The only wrench in our week was miscommunication on the website regarding the site we reserved. We only have a tent. We reserved site #12 which is NOT TENT FRIENDLY! We found this out the hard way.
Joe, our campground host, showed us where our tent was supposed to go and there was no way we (me, my husband and our 3 kids) would have slept comfortably. Fortunately, we met some really nice people who were more than happy to move some things around so we could set up in a tent-friendly site!
Joe is the biggest reason we are coming back to this campground! He treated us like we were old friends from the moment we met. He checked on us throughout the week and our kids really took a liking to him. He stopped by to chat with us a few times and to ask if we needed anything.
Thank You, Joe, for making us feel more than at home~
