Bluff View Campground on Clearwater Lake greets visitors with excellent camping, fishing, swimming, boating and picnicking opportunities.
Local wildlife includes wetland waterfowl, fox, deer, turkey, and geese. Bald eagles nest at Clearwater, and remain in the area year-round.
A trailhead for the Bluff View Nature Trail begins at the campground. This is a wonderful loop trail to look for wildlife among a mix of towering hardwood trees.
Bluff View Campground offers 60 sites, including many with electric and water hookups. Additional amenities include a dump station, hot showers, boat ramp, playground, interpretive trail, public phones and a swimming area.
The lake, surrounded by the picturesque hills of the Ozarks, is fed by the Black River. Average temperatures range from 33 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit in March, and 65 to 92 degrees in summer.
In the area, campers enjoy visiting traditional drive-in movie theaters, the Sam A. Baker State Park, local golf courses, and the historic Civil War site at Fort Benton.
The campground is located 7 miles northwest of Piedmont, MO. From Piedmont on Highway 49, go 1 mile to Highway AA and turn left. Drive 6 miles on Highway AA, and the road will end in Bluff View Park.
Great camping on Clearwater Lake. Nice and clean campsites. Close to the swimming area and marina
Our happy place. Great view of the bluffs. Dave at the marina is super helpful.
Definitely a wow factor here. Had the view of the lake and the mountains in front of us as we exited our tent. We had the C section. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean beach and areas. So nice to have water on our campsite. Quiet and peaceful.
This is a great place to disconnect from busy and reconnect with nature. Camping season is mid May to mid September, but you can still camp for FREE off season, in the C & D sections, for up to two weeks per month (with no utilities, no shower house, but there are open restrooms available.. and you can access a shower at the river road location for no cost). Beautiful views of the lake and a great place to bird and deer watch.
