Clear Lake Recreation Area

Wound through the toolies forever to get here only to find it closed. No notifications on website. October 4, 2019

First the good: Checking in was very easy and staff is friendly and accommodating. Tuesday and Thursday, all recreation equipment is 1/2 off, a great value. Now for the not-so good: There is no parking “out of the way” when checking in. It would be nice to give you your site number when you make a reservation so one could just go to their assigned site, back in and then go into the office to do the paperwork. The sites are very tight so you had better like your neighbor. There was a lot of trash laying around and several sites with paper and even garbage all around their trailers. No one seems to care about enforcing the rules concerning keeping you site clean. We didn’t see anyone doing litter picking the whole time we were there. The kids driving around emptying the garbage cans drove very fast and seemed to be playing more than working. The 5 MPH is not enforced so a lot of dust is kicked up. Did not use the bathrooms but when I looked in and they were terrible. There is no way I would ever use those showers. At times, very poor, surging water pressure. I would stay here again but would try to get a site at the end of the row.

Nice Gravel and grass PARKING LOT, my site was 4 inches out of level from rear to front, there was 13 feet between my rv and the next one and my neighbor's sewer hookup was 10 feet from my door. Nice playground but goose poop was all over could not walk on the grass without stepping in it. Would not stay there again. Staff was nice and friendly.

Initially tried to get into Famcamp at Fairchild AFB, but no stay limits and electrical upgrades made it unavailable. Host at Fairchild was helpful and got us a spot at Clear Lake, which is the recreation area for the AFB. Sites are close together; we were placed directly in front of the dumpster. Unfortunate for us because it was overflowing (smelly) for 3 days after July 4th weekend. Rules state no parking on grass, but was not enforced as a truck overlapped on our lot and was not moved for the whole three days that we were there. The area was quiet during the week and no problems other than already stated. Probably won't return.

No vehicle washing permitted. Gravel sites and all full hookup sites are back in only. Well kept campground with nice marina. Big rig friendly. Very busy rec camp on the weekends. We would stay here again.
