My Honest Assessment

Jul 26, 2022

Beautiful park. We love visiting when we are down this way and enjoy swimming and picnicing with the family. The park is very clean, kept-up and well managed. There are no life guards on duty but they do have several booths with the emergency rings. Park staff is always near and so are are the Game wardens. The large swimming area is safe for kids who are attended by adults. There are no deep drop offs though it does naturally get deeper towards the center. There are several depth markers. Depending on water level there may or may not be sand to play in. The lawn around the swimming area offers plenty of shade under trees and several benches. Shade canopies are welcome but no grills on the grass or sand. Dogs are not allowed on the beach either. There are plenty of shaded/lakeside picnic tables with grills along a gorgeous bike path. There are public restrooms/showers on each side of the swimming area. More than enough parking. $10 a per car. They also have stunning camping areas and hiking trails. Visit you won't be disappointed.

Great camp ground for RV and boats. Not so great for tents and bank fishing. Camp site was nice, it was clean, but with quite time starting at 10 and voices carry made it hard to have a conversation outside of an RV. As far as fishing, if you have a boat i am sure its great, just not a lot of bank fishing spots as the woods have taken over the shore line excpet around the pavilion areas, but they close thoes at dusk cause they have been cleaned already.

My husband and I would load up and take our kids camping every summer multiple times at clear creek. We took our kids, my nieces, and there friends up there to camp for the weekend. Always had a great time and some of my best and favorite memories now we made there. It's beautiful there, good fishing, swimming area, picnic tables and grills, and campsites. Take your family if you are able. It's worth it.
