Camping at Clear Creek (Al) near Jasper

Public campground · Jasper · 99 campsites · 2 group

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Clear Creek Recreation Area sits on the shore of Lewis Smith (Smith) Lake in Winston County, about a dozen miles north of Jasper off County Road 27, and functions as the Bankhead National Forest's primary developed lake access. The campground and day-use complex put you a short walk or bike ride from water: a year-round boat launch with trailer parking and an SST vault toilet, a swim beach served by a bathhouse, and fishing for largemouth and hybrid/striped bass and crappie on Smith Lake.

How far ahead to book Clear Creek (Al)

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (13,317 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
