“Would highly recommend this site for group camping, more spacious than anticipated. ”

Lyn H 4 · Aug 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Nice group campground. No water at campground, but available down the road and Elks Fork and Wapiti campgrounds. Vault toilet was very clean.”

Vincent V 5 · Jul 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Nice site next to the river. This campground has very little tree cover. The host was never on site in the two days I was there, and the nearest firewood was a 20 mile drive.”

How far ahead to book Clearwater Campground

For July weekends, book about 104 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 50 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
May27 days ahead59 days ahead41 days ahead72 days ahead
June47 days ahead97 days ahead52 days ahead98 days ahead
July50 days ahead104 days ahead47 days ahead102 days ahead
August19 days ahead58 days ahead28 days ahead64 days ahead

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 (1,367 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.
