Lake County offers the opportunity for many children's activities, especially outdoor activities. At Clear Lake Campground, we have a swimming pool, small play area, fishing spots, a ping pong table and other outdoor games. But there are fun and interesting places to go near Clear Lake Campground, too.

Easy Hikes and Swimming Spots:
  • Anderson Marsh State Historic Park, just a couple minutes from camp, has an easy nature trail leading to the creek that starts just past the ranch house.
  • Middletown Trailside Park, just outside Middletown has level trails in woodlands, picnic tables and outdoor art exhibits.
  • Clear Lake State Park, in Kelseyville, has easy trails and a beach where you can swim. Bikes are also allowed on the pavement.
