Welcome!
Clearwater Campground is family owned and operated. We are just minutes away from hiking, mountain biking, shopping, and dining. Our camp- ground is very private and peaceful. Are you looking for a permanent campsite to get away for the weekend? If so, we would like to invite you to come visit our campground.
Our mission is to provide your family with a clean, pleasant, and fun camping experience. Clearwater Campground offers trout fishing at no additional charge. There's also several nice places to sit back and relax along the creek. A campfire ring is available on each site for those of you who enjoys cooking on an open fire and roast some marshmallows or just sit back an relax with some friends.
All permanent campsites are located alongside of Armstrong Creek, so you can enjoy the view of the creek right from your very own camper. The sound of the creek is very relaxing. Everyone at Clearwater Campground are friendly, family orientated, and wonderful people to be around.
