OK Park, I guess. Showed up in the middle of a beautiful Thursday in May and had to pay $10 to look around. Only one other car in the entire day use area. Twice as many staff as patrons. Bathrooms were locked and all water was still turned off. Never been too impressed with the management of Forest Service sites with or without improvements.

Beautiful scenery. When we checked in, we were not made aware of any bathrooms locked on the campsite. Went to 3 different pavilions with bathrooms with guests that had feminine issues to take care of. They were all locked without notice. Then when we called the front. The one restroom they said was open in the whole park had NO TOILET PAPER, toilets were clogged, no soap, and the hand dryer wasn’t working. Do a little better. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the need to close multiple restrooms on a public park. Especially people with kids knowing the last thing you want them to do is to pop a squat on a public campground right beside a restroom that could easily have been accessible if it wasn’t for the staff.

I was fortunate enough to “have to” spend a week at Clear Creek Recreation Area while waiting for my truck to get repaired. Loved the place! Hiked, kayaked, mountain biked, swam, and napped my way through the week. Ok, and worked some, too, although cell signal can be spotty. Tammy, Barbara, and the rest of the crew were very accommodating. (Special thanks to Bruce for moving my camper for me on his weekend off!) The camping and day use areas were tidy.

Nice campground, swimming & fishing lake. We did not like the timed showers. They click off ever 6 seconds. Hard to push in. If you got a lot of hair this is a bad deal. Clean bathrooms, lovely area.
