Military Park Clear Lake Rec Area (Fairchild AFB)
Overview
Clear Lake Recreation Area is a premier Military MWR facility located just a short drive from Fairchild Air Force Base. This destination offers a peaceful escape for eligible service members, retirees, and their families looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Eastern Washington. The park is situated directly on the shores of Clear Lake, providing a scenic backdrop for both short stays and extended seasonal visits. It combines the comfort of modern RV facilities with the rustic charm of a lakeside retreat, making it a highly sought-after destination during the warmer months.
Location & Surroundings
Nestled in the rolling hills of Cheney, Washington, the park is surrounded by a landscape of Ponderosa pines and basalt cliffs. While it feels secluded, it is conveniently located within twenty minutes of the main base and the city of Spokane. The surrounding area is characterized by the unique Channeled Scablands topography, offering guests a distinct geographic experience. The air is fresh, and the environment is significantly quieter than the bustling urban centers nearby, making it an ideal spot for nature photography and relaxation.
Amenities & Park Features
The park features well-maintained full hookup RV sites that accommodate various rig sizes, ensuring a comfortable stay for big-rig owners. For those who want to get out on the water, the on-site boat launch and rental facility provide easy access to the lake with pontoons, motorboats, and kayaks available for use. Families appreciate the sandy swimming beach, playground, and picnic pavilions. A central lodge serves as a community hub, often stocking basic supplies and fishing gear to ensure guests have everything they need for a successful lakeside stay.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will love exploring the nearby Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, which offers miles of hiking trails and incredible bird-watching opportunities. The city of Cheney is home to Eastern Washington University, providing a friendly college-town atmosphere with local dining and shops. For a faster pace, a trip into Spokane allows visitors to visit Riverfront Park, see the spectacular falls, or enjoy the vibrant downtown culinary scene before returning to the quiet and security of the military recreation area.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for military families looking for an affordable and high-quality vacation spot that emphasizes outdoor recreation and water sports. It is a fantastic choice for avid anglers hoping to catch trout or bass right from the shore or a boat. Because of its secure and community-oriented atmosphere, it also suits retirees and veteran RVers who appreciate a well-organized campground where they can connect with fellow service members in a serene, natural environment.

We were having repairs done to our RV and needed space for the wife and myself with our Cats. The Cabins were reasonably priced for the 3 nights needed. As our RV was repaired, we decided to spent a couple of days to repack the Rv. The Rv sites with 50 amp service

Meds a bit of upkeep and thought but a delightful discovery in E. WA. Cabins $90, RV $45 for 50/30 30amp, tent camping, boat rentals etc. on site Cag6e 8 am till 5pm The lake and trees are wonderful. Fishing benches... Etc makes this an amazing get away spot. Great shower and bathrooms with ADA showers for men and women. General cabins & queen bed plus bunk. Dining/seating area. Nice deck. Sadly I can't recommend the upper cabins for those with disabilities due to steep terrain and back of easy access. They were able to move use from cabin q (first assigned) as access was near impossible due to my prosthesis. The lower cabins have stairs but level ground. No wheelchair access. RV sites look amazing. The view and breeze off the lake make even as warm day wonderful

This place is great for a good weekend. But they do need to cut some dead trees down in the tent area. Before the kill someone. The tent site also could use a good leveling out. Sleeping at a slant sucks. But the staff and everyone is awesome.

What a gem to find, military only or retired. They have everything, this is camp on steroids. RV parking, tenting, cabins, boating, kayaking, canoes, fishing in its own pier, boat launch, volleyball, tether ball, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, showers and public bathrooms, fishing and fishing gear if you have a license, little food shop, (breath). Very nice place for all.
