Clear Creek Campground

If you like to hike many opportunities in the San Pedro Wilderness close by.

Camphost is on site. About four sites are first come-first serve - can get reservations for remainder.

Prefer the group site when we have several others coming - prefer #11 or #12 when by ourselves.

Down side - water is from a hand pump and there are no dump sites within at least 50 miles. Pit toilets.

Road to and all campsites are paved. Some sites are a little tight for RV's.

1/2 price with senior pass - group site $35

Great little campground - not many sites. Very quiet; all you could hear was the creek which was flowing really good. Vault toilets were really clean. Make sure you have everything you need as the are no stores in the area.

Beautiful campground very well cared for and clean. Friendly and professional camp host young guy but did a very good job. Nothing negative about our stay . Ever in the area again will stay here again

Trying to post video on here, can anyone help?

We had this beautiful little National Forest campground all to ourselves on a couple of chilly October nights. We made the mistake of ignoring the warning signs of "unimproved mountainous road" coming in on 126 on the east and endured 9 miles of the roughest road we have ever towed our trailer. So, come in from the Cuba side 11 miles away. We day-tripped (without trailer) into Chaco Culture, also a rough drive the last few miles, but well worth the trip. $5/night reflects 50% senior discount, but prices set to double in 2022. No cell service until you are about halfway to Cuba.

OK so as has been mentioned previously the campground is clean, some of the sites are crowded together (5 thru 8), and site 11 has the best exposure for solar panels. The water, available by hand pump near the front of the park, is absolutely delicious, cold mountain well water. We enjoyed hiking through the forest with our two dogs. That, folks, is the best of this review. So...at the end of a 10 mile hike we had just sat down to remove our boots, remove the harnesses from the dogs (45# and 7#) in preparation for going inside the trailer to get a bite to eat. Our little dog heard something and ran to the front of the trailer, I followed and scooped him up apologizing to the walker (woman with a small dog) at the same time. Of course the big dog also heard the commotion by that time and joined in. She was quickly called back by my husband. Please understand that NEITHER dog got anywhere near the woman who was walking. She, without first identifying herself, started snarling at my husband who told her the dogs were under control and suggested she continue her walk. At this point she decided to announce "I am the camp host." We proceeded to return to what we had been doing, unlocked the trailer and went inside. After our lunch my husband went outside to move our solar panel when she walked up to the site and stood staring at him. When he asked what she wanted she stated "You need to follow the rules." OK so we removed the leashes before we opened the door, our bad. But to come back almost an hour later to start an argument over the issue when neither of the dogs were even outside??? Seriously!
Let me give you some further background as to why we gave a 3 star to this lovely place and will not return. On our first full day we happened to be walking our dogs when we encountered a woman with a small dog, yup the camp host although we did not know it at the time. We exchanged pleasantries and walked behind her for a distance as we returned to our site. To our surprise, when her little dog decided to poop on the road, she simply pushed the little pile over and covered it with pine needles. (things that make you stop and wonder, I guess host means you do whatever you want). The group campground had been occupied for 3 days while we were there - there were 4 dogs running off leash the entire time (rules against this are clearly posted), the site next to the camp host had their generator running during quiet hours (rules against this are clearly posted), the site across from the vault toilets (which were by the way very clean) had 4 vehicles parked in the site (rules clearly state only 2 vehicles allowed), and by far the absolute worst that happened - there were robberies committed on 2 consecutive nights and we had to learn of it from another camper (facts confirmed by the presence of law enforcement after the second occurrence) - sorry folks you can tell me I am wrong but I believe that it was the responsibility of the camp host to notify campers that there had been a theft on the property.
In fairness, the spouse of the vile woman was delightful.
So bitchy or not here is our bottom line - yes rules are there for a reason, but they should be enforced for everyone, not just when it suits the host to do so. And yes this has been reported to the Forestry Service.
