Camping at Bluff View(Clearwater Lake) near Piedmont

Public campground · Piedmont · 57 campsites

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

About this campground

Bluff View Campground sits on the shore of Clearwater Lake amid the rolling hills of the Ozarks where the lake's Black River fed water cuts into bluffs, bays and coves carpeted in wildflowers such as sweet william. The campground is a good base for anglers both experienced and beginners who come for the lake's reliable fishing, and for paddlers and powerboat users taking advantage of the boat ramp and water-sport-friendly shoreline.

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 (7,547 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.
