Clear Lake State Park

A hidden gem!!! Clearest lake I've been on. Not a spot on the lake where you can't see Sandy bottom. This is our annual destination for Labor Day weekend. Kids love it. Orv/Snowmobile trail access right outside the park.

I remember when this was the nicest State Forest Camp Ground in Michigan, absolutely BEAUTIFUL Lake! However, the DNR has succeeded in ruining it by overcrowding, restricted camping areas, in the 1960's we could camp on the shore, have a campfire , pump GOOD water from a hand pump, use the outhouses as need, and get back to nature! To BAD that the State had to get GREEDY and turn it into an Overpriced MESS!

Bathrooms are gross, but campground itself is beautiful. A little overcrowded though:(

Nice campground. The beach is nice and sandy. The lake does drop off quite fast but has plenty of shallow water for kids to play in. There are two volleyball courts by the beach. It has some pull though sites available and the fire pits are quite nice. The bathrooms are clean and so are the showers. There are plenty of trails for biking or for an ORV. There is a disc golf course available on the day use side of the lake. It was a 10 minute bike ride if you took the trails. The Ranger Station has disk rentals available along with other rentables. There is an upper and lower area of the campground. The dump station already has sewer hoses attached which is nice so you don't have to dig yours out from your camper.
