About this place

Clara Lake Rustic Campground is on the shore of Clara Lake in a stand of pines. There are three first come/ first served sites in this campground and it is close to other lakes as well, so it is a great campground for a weekend of fishing, or just relaxing near the water. There is no garbage pick up at Clara Lake Rustic Campground. Plan to pack out all your garbage, including fish remains from cleaning fish.
