What are the top things to do at Clear Lake Campground in spring?

Spring is the perfect time to visit Clear Lake Campground. Days are longer, wildflowers are blooming, fish are biting, and birders will spot a variety of birds around Lake County. It's a good time to rent a kayak, go wine tasting, or just relax at camp. Here are top 5 things to do near Clear Lake Campground on your spring visit to Lake County:

• Look for Birds. Clear Lake is a birder's paradise and birds are usually plentiful in spring. Birds you may see include Coots, Mallards, Grebes, Great Blue Heron, Cormorants, Red-Shouldered Hawks, Anna's Hummingbirds, and blackbirds. See more top birds to see in Lake County. Besides watching for birds along the creek or in the trees across from Camp, there are several excellent places for birding around Clear Lake. We have 7 suggestions for places to go for bird watching in Clear Lake Birding Hot Spots.
• Kayak or Canoe. Explore Cache Creek in a kayak or canoe. You can launch your own (free to those staying at Camp or a $5 launch fee) or rent a kayak or canoe right at Camp. We have the only boat launch on Cache Creek! See our suggested kayak or canoe itinerary from Camp.
• Take a hike. Anderson Marsh State Historic Park, right across from Camp (a 2 minute drive to the entrance) is a great place to hike in spring, whether you want an easy, short nature walk or a longer trail. It's an excellent place for spotting birds and you may also see deer, squirrels, and other wildlife. If you're looking for a strenuous hike with great views from the top, Mt Konocti County Park is just 20 minutes from Camp. See details about these and other places in 5 Great Places to Hike in Lake County.
• Taste Wine. Lake County is one of California's top wine regions.

Several wineries have picnic tables and a small store that sells picnic items and most are in beautiful settings. Here are our recommendations for 6 Wineries to Visit that are less than half an hour from Camp.

We even run our own catfish derby for registered campers some weekends in spring. If you have a boat, use the boat launch at Redbud Park, just a couple miles from camp, to access the lake. There's also a fishing pier at the park. Clear Lake Guide Service posts weekly updates about current fishing conditions and offers a guided fishing experience.

Restaurants often have Easter brunch too.

Do you like to camp but don't like hauling your tent and setting it up? Would you like to sleep in a sturdy, spacious tent with a floor and cots? Clear Lake Campground has the perfect glamping solution.

Our 3 large partially-furnished canvas tents sleep a maximum of 4 people each. They're already set up so all you have to do is bring your bedding and cooler and make yourself at home. Tent #2 has 4 single cots, #3 has a queen bed, and #4 has 2 single cots. 2 additional people can sleep on the floor in tents 3 and 4.

Your space includes a 16 foot diameter canvas bell tent, picnic table, BBQ, and parking for one car. Water and electricity are outside on the site and there's electricity inside too.

Of course you'll also have access to our swimming pool, showers, boat launch, outdoor games, and other campground amenities. Sorry, no pets are allowed in the tents. Also no smoking or cooking is allowed inside and we allow propane camp fires only (we can provide a propane fire pit if needed).

Canvas tents are available from late spring through early fall with a 2-night minimum. Our restrooms and showers are closed from late fall through early spring so we can't accommodate any tent campers, including in our canvas tents.

It's just like tent camping but we pitched a beautiful tent for you so it's more like glamping! You're also welcome to book one of our other sites and bring your own tent.

Things to Do at Clear Lake Campground:
* Rent a kayak or canoe or bring your own and launch it from Camp. There are 2 routes you can follow: Paddle Anderson Marsh or go toward the dam.
* Fish from Camp or nearby
* Swim in our pool or relax by the creek
* Go wine tasting
* Take a hike

Boating Itinerary from Clear Lake Campground to the Dam by kayak, canoe, or small motor boat:

One of the top things to do at Clear Lake Campground is exploring Cache Creek in a kayak, canoe, or boat. You can bring your own and dock right from Camp or rent a kayak, canoe, or small motor boat from us. This itinerary takes you from Camp to Cache Creek Dam, a distance of a little over 3 miles. 

Starting from Camp, turn toward the left, with Anderson Marsh on your right. You'll pass under the bridge over the highway, then you'll come to the Grigsby Riffle, a rock formation that crosses the creek near Seigler Canyon Creek. When the water is very low, the riffle sticks out and may make it difficult or impossible to cross. The riffle is used to measure the lake's water level on a scale called the Rumsey Scale. Clear Lake is considered full at 7.56 on the Rumsey Scale and the level usually varies from 1.6 to 6.75 except in very dry years where the level may go below 0.

If the water is high enough, it's possible to take a detour for a short distance along Seigler Canyon Creek if you're in a kayak or canoe. Shortly after you cross the riffle, you'll pass under the Lake Street Bridge. Houses line this part of the creek for about a mile. Geese and ducks are common in this area and sometimes you may see otters swimming along. Once you pass the houses you're in a wooded area where you might see deer, wild turkeys, or even a bear on the banks. Birds are usually plentiful in the trees and on the water. In spring, fish are sometimes seen jumping out of the water, too. 

As you approach the dam, you'll see danger signs warning boats to stay away. Be sure to heed these warnings and don't get too near the dam. Built in 1914, the Cache Creek Dam is currently owned by Yolo County who takes water from Clear Lake via the dam unless the water level is too low. This is the end of boating access so you'll need to turn around and head back to Camp.

This itinerary is part of Clear Lake Water Route 3, Rock Riffle, and Dam. The link takes you to a map and more details about the water trail.

What are the best places to see birds around Clear Lake?

Clear Lake is home to a large variety of species. Since many of them are found in or near the water, the top places to see birds are around the lake. Clear Lake Campground is right on Cache Creek and across from Anderson Marsh State Park so you'll probably see birds from Camp. One of the best ways to get a closer look at water birds is in a kayak or canoe along Cache Creek from Camp, either in your own or renting one of ours. Book a kayak or canoe.

Where to See Birds:

• Anderson Marsh State Historic Park: Just a couple minutes drive from Camp on Highway 53,  Anderson Marsh has several walking and hiking trails. You're likely to see birds in the air, in trees, or in the water if you take the easy trail past the ranch house that goes along the creek. Another trail leads to the McVicar Sanctuary and Trail. If you follow that trail you'll come to a beach where swans are sometimes spotted.
• Fults Family Vineyard: A couple miles farther along the highway, you'll arrive at Fults Family Vineyard. From the deck there's a great view of the pond, a good area for spotting birds and of course, tasting wine. You'll need to call ahead to make a reservation. 
• Clear Lake State Park: In Kelseyville, about half an hour from Camp, Clear Lake State Park opens onto Clear Lake and has walking paths along Cole Creek, making it a good place for spotting water birds as well as birds in trees. There's a day use fee to enter the park.
• Peace & Plenty Farm: Near Clear Lake State Park, Peace & Plenty Farm sells organic vegetables and saffron from their garden as well as eggs from their chickens and other products. A creek runs through the property and Simon, one of the owners, is an ornithologist. Contact them to arrange a visit.
• Clear Lake Keys: Going the opposite direction on Highway 53 from camp, turn left on Highway 20 to Clearlake Oaks. Clearlake Keys is a subdivision built on 6.5 miles of channels along the lake in Clearlake Oaks. Walking through the neighborhood gives you a good chance to see water birds.
• Rodman Slough County Park: Near the town of Nice, on the north shore of Clear Lake. Rodman Slough has a 7.9 mile round-trip water trail that goes through wetlands to Tule Lake, perfect for a kayak or canoe in winter or spring. The 40 acre park has picnic tables, a beach for swimming, hiking trails, and places to fish, too.
• Middle Creek Nature Area: Off Highway 20 in Upper Lake, Middle Creek has easy hiking trails with good opportunities for birding - especially egrets, heron, cormorants, and osprey. Part of the trail goes along the Rodman Slough water trail.

Why Should I Consider a Camping Vacation?
(Updated 5/22)
Camping on your vacation has many benefits. Whether you want to travel in a fully equipped RV or want to sleep outside under the stars, camping is a great choice for anything from a short getaway to a long road trip. Camping offers options to suit everyone, from families and groups of friends to couples and single travelers. Once you have your basic equipment, you have the freedom to explore close to home or anywhere across the country. Let's look at a few of the good things about camping:

• Camping is a great way to get outside and enjoy outdoor activities. Many campgrounds are in or near beautiful settings offering recreational activities such as hiking, swimming, boating, kayaking, biking, or fishing. It's an easy and fun way to get some exercise. Being outside is a safe and easy way to visit with friends or extended family that aren't part of your household.
• Camping is relaxing and helps relieve stress. Take a break from your usual hectic routine and relax at your camp site, sit by the pool or around a camp fire, or spend time visiting with your family and friends outdoors. Turn off your cell phone for awhile and enjoy the tranquility.
• Camping offers opportunities to learn new skills, especially for children. Learn to fish, play new games, try new cooking techniques, or learn to identify plants, birds, or animals in the outdoors. Some campgrounds even offer seasonal planned events such as nature walks and ranger talks.
• Camping is a great family activity. The whole family can easily participate in camping activities and spend time together away from the TV. Unlike at a hotel, the family can all stay together in one or more adjoining campsites, making travel easier. Many campgrounds have outdoor games the family can play together or children's play areas.
• Camping is a relatively inexpensive way to take a vacation. Most campgrounds cost less than other lodging in the same area. Saving money on food is easy since you can bring your own and cook right at your site rather than having to eat out. Many campgrounds offer free or low cost activities such as swimming pools, hiking trails, games, boat launches, and fishing spots.
• Camping has been said to be the safest way to vacation during the pandemic. It's easy to stay distanced from others and socialize outdoors. Especially if you're traveling in an RV, you can keep pretty well isolated from others while still enjoying a vacation. According to the special COVID-19 edition of the North American Camping Report, sponsored by Kampgrounds of America, Inc.: "Campers and non-campers alike rank camping as the safest type of travel and RVs provide the ultimate in personal space for traveling."
• Campers can choose to be social or secluded, active or relaxed, cook or get food to bring back to camp. There are endless opportunities for everyone to choose how they want to spend their time. "68% of all campers agree that camping is a great way to escape the stress of everyday life and almost half of all campers say that camping has a 'great deal of impact' on reducing stress and allowing them to spend more time with their families.", according to KOA Campgrounds.

Why camp at Clear Lake Campground?

Clear Lake Campground is right on the shore of Cache Creek, across from Anderson Marsh State Park. Campers can enjoy fishing, boating, bird watching, or just relaxing right at camp and there are plenty of things to do in the area. We offer a variety of sites with full hook-ups and a few sites for tent camping only. We also offer kayak and canoe rentals.
