Clear Lake Campground - Clearlake, California

Lisa was super attentive and helpful from the start of our canoeing trip. She keeps a clean and cozy campground which you can rent canoes/kayaks. We had a great experience and would come back!

My wife and I stayed there before we got all the water back in clear lake. So cache Creek was extremely low. I still caught a couple of bass. The campground we stayed at was right on the water. The bathrooms are up the hill, always nice and clean. They have laundry facilities that are not very expensive, I found it always clean in there. They have a great little pool there. Also have ping pong and horseshoe pits. Overall we really enjoyed our time there. Would recommend highly.

Great little place to camp.
Lisa was very informative and helpful.
We thought it was a tad pricey...67+
Facilities were a little old, and for people who weren't able to walk far, the showers were up a hill.
It does have quite a few trees for shade, and there are some sites that back up to the Clear Lake outlet.
You can fish from that area as well.
We gave it a 3 star because the sites we were at were really close to your neighbors. People were also walking through our site.
However... we would stay there again, just not in the same campsite area. 🙂

Just want to give a joyful shout out to Camp Clearlake. I stayed there back in May and it was wonderful. Full hookups available and I fished right from my camp. I enjoyed watching the many varieties of wildlife around. The manager that checked me in went above and beyond to help me out. The place was clean plenty of shade and sun. There is a playground for kids and they sell fishing bait right inside the small store there. The view is spectacular and I will be making it a regular get away for myself.

Didn't stay here, I live within a few miles of here. A few years ago I purchased a canoe from the owner. I was pleasantly surprised to find the new owner had really cleaned up the place. Owner was very nice, we had a pleasant discussion about the beauty of Lake CO.

Clear Lake Campground: A hidden gem with a wonderful host

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Clear Lake Campground, a charming campground established in 1950 and owned and operated by the wonderful Lisa. The campground has 38 total spots, including 10 pull-throughs, 3 canvas bell tents, and 2 boat launches with available kayak and canoe rentals. The back-in spots are right on the river and offer great fishing or bird watching opportunities, as the property butts up to a nature reserve.

We were immediately impressed by the campground's clean and well-maintained facilities. Our campsite was spacious and shaded, and the restrooms and showers were spotless. We also appreciated the availability of free Wi-Fi and $5 firewood.

Lisa is a fantastic host who goes above and beyond to make sure her guests have a pleasant stay. She was always happy to answer our questions and provide recommendations for activities and restaurants in the area. She even helped us book a kayaking trip on Clear Lake.

We spent our days kayaking on the lake, fishing in the river, and exploring the nearby nature reserve. In the evenings, we enjoyed relaxing around the campfire and roasting marshmallows.

Overall, we had a wonderful time at Clear Lake Campground. The campground is clean and well-maintained, the location is beautiful, and the host is fantastic. We highly recommend this campground to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable camping experience.

Camp Clearlake - Wonderful guest services! Incredibly patient and informative! We had a great time and the scenery was beautiful! There’s wildlife, lots of greenery and friendly people along the route. It was so hot that we enjoyed a dip in the pool afterwards.

We rented a canoe to go birdwatching - it was spectacular!! Lisa was very helpful and told us exactly where to go to see the grebes. Lots of grebes and a heron rookery - a wonderful 3 hours paddling in beautiful Anderson Marsh. If you’re into birds this is highly recommended!!!
