Clear Creek State Park Campground

This is a relatively small campground on the river. Many sites are shaded and the park and restrooms are very clean. Firewood is available at the campground. Hosts were very friendly. The one downfall is that the sites are fairly close which is quite noticable when louder young kids are nearby. If the sites were further apart this would be less of an issue. But overall great place. We spent alot of time hiking - nice hike to Beartown Rocks.

General: This Park is spread out along the Clarion River and, as such, is deceptively large. There are electric and non-electric sites, as well as cabins. On a Friday night in late October, it was nearly full. One man we spoke with said he raised his kids coming to this campground and that it is often challenging to reserve a site unless done far in advance (I believe I reserved about three months ahead of time). 

Site Quality: The sites vary in size and quality. All have either rock or grass “driveways”. A picnic table, fire ring, and lantern hook complete the site. Some sites are tucked in among large pine trees, some are directly on the river, and the non-electric sites are up a hill away from the river and shaded. 

Bathhouse: The one at the very end of the campground was modern and very clean. The showers looked very clean, but we did not use them. 

Activities/Amenities: Several hiking trails, a disc golf course and, in-season, a swimming pond and canoeing. Unfortunately, we woke to rain the next morning that looked like it was going to stick around for a while, so we did not get to explore as much of this park as we would have liked. 

Conclusion: Our stay was nice but brief and it would be nice to return.

Lovely park and campground on the Clarion River.

Was impressed by the quiet campers. Folks were very friendly, but nighttime was silent.

Lots of space for long walks, and there are trailheads right at the campground if you want to get to explore. I took the dogs on the Truby Trail.

None of the major carriers have service here, but I needed to ‘get away’ for the night so it was perfect.
