Camp Clearwater Family Campground
Overview
Camp Clearwater Family Campground stands as a cornerstone of the White Lake community, offering a classic summer retreat experience for travelers in North Carolina. Situated in Elizabethtown, this expansive destination is widely recognized for its spacious RV sites and welcoming, community-focused atmosphere. It serves as a beloved home-away-from-home for those seeking the nostalgia of a traditional lakeside vacation where families often return for generations to enjoy the scenic waterfront views.
Location & Surroundings
The park is nestled along the shores of White Lake, a unique natural spring-fed lake known for its incredible clarity and white sandy bottom. Unlike many other regional water bodies, the lake is remarkably calm and shallow, making it a peaceful environment for guests of all ages. The surrounding Elizabethtown area provides a charming backdrop of towering North Carolina pines and a slow-paced, coastal plains lifestyle that encourages relaxation and unplugging from daily stress.

Visitors enjoy access to an impressive array of on-site facilities designed for long-term comfort and recreation. The park features four large private piers stretching into the lake, providing ample space for sunbathing, swimming, and boat docking. Other amenities include a well-stocked general store, multiple clean bathhouses, and laundry facilities. For active travelers, the park offers:
- A large playground and basketball courts
- A seasonal arcade and snack bar
- A covered grandstand for community events and entertainment
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the park gates, travelers can explore the natural beauty of Jones Lake State Park, which offers hiking trails through bay forests and excellent birdwatching opportunities. A short drive into downtown Elizabethtown reveals local boutiques, historic sites, and southern-style eateries. For those interested in river excursions, the nearby Cape Fear River provides additional avenues for fishing and boating within the scenic and historic Bladen County landscape.
Who This Park Is Best For
This campground is an ideal match for families with young children who value the safety and tranquility of White Lake's shallow, current-free waters. It also caters to those looking for a sense of community and social engagement, as the park’s layout and frequent activities encourage neighborly interaction. If you prefer a vibrant resort-style experience with easy water access over a secluded or rustic wilderness site, this park will suit your travel style perfectly.

about 28 years ago I had a small old camper at camp Clearwater and we enjoyed going down but then they started going up on the lot rent so I ended up having to sell it. But I went camping with my sister and her husband for the Halloween weekend bash and had a blast. I love it here it's family oriented kids can go out and play and have a good time I do not like the fact of how many little kids ride around driving the golf carts but that's neither here or there all in all the campground is an awesome place for anyone to take a vacation. And ski burger is the best place ever and always has been.

This campground is overrun with kids driving golf carts like crazy and about running over people and their dogs and there's 5-year-old kids standing up on golf carts because they can't reach the pedal to drive and they've got three or four people with them okay no parents insight here it is 12:00 at night and they're still going and playing loud music being very disrespectful all over the place terrible I don't understand why there is not an age limit The state requires to be 16 and licensed but this campground you can be a 5-year-old kid in driving this is ridiculous

Camp Clearwater is going downhill. For the price of this campsite for two days, we should at least get good wifi

Cool place but wish they enforced the quiet time policy. Our neighbors were so noisy and being loud drinking until 2-3am every night of our stay. We ended up leaving two days early.

We do enjoy vacationing there. It has become quite busy. That is just the downside for us, great foe their business. With all of the people, noise can be a factor. If you dont mind the people and the noise, definitely try it out. There is a nice dog run if you have a dog. I used that in the early morning and late evening and there were no other dogs. We had it to ourselves.
