What others are saying
Clear Creek Campground is the perfect spot for those looking for a nature-filled getaway. With plenty of activities to do in the area such as hiking, biking, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and climbing, there is something for everyone. The campground itself is quite basic, with vault toilets, running water, and RV hookups. The sites are large, level, and gravel with paved roads, and some sites even have access to a smaller creek. The Camp Host, Walt, is friendly and knowledgeable, and can even lend you an old CD of his from his musician days. The nearby picnic area has an old iron furnace, and the nearby Cave Run Lake is great for swimming and kayaking. This campground is used heavily during hunting season and during holidays, but is usually quite peaceful during the early spring and late fall.
