Clearwater Lake Regional Park — Attraction in Lacadena No. 228

One star because I HAD to give one to review. We stayed this August Long Weekend. We arrived Friday at 4pm(check in is 2pm) and there were people and stuff scattered through our tent site as well as our friends neighboring site. It took us going to office to get staff to come and hurry them up. We finally got to set up our sites around 5:30pm. Office rectified by giving us free firewood for our 2 night stay. Friday evening we were all kept awake till after 3am as there is a BAR right by the tenting sites(website has NO mention of this) and it is open till 3am.

Saturday night, a BUS showed up full of people to the bar at 10pm, and then at 1:45am the bus fired back up, laid on its horn 3+x. I approached the bus driver and told him this was unacceptible, he simply said sorry and walked away.

The site was perfect size for our 3 parties, but none of us will ever go back as our relaxing long weekend was NOT relaxing in any way.

The front desk lady however is very nice and I enjoyed her, and her wood offer was nice.

This might be an ok campground, but DO not tent.

It's Sunday now and all 5 of us have had about 5 hours of sleep since...

Would give 5 stars if not for one major reason. My grandmother owns a Lakeside cabin and we enjoy our time there. I've been going since I was a child and have fond memories. It's a gem in the Prairies and a nice break from fields and grassland. The drive in is a beautiful feature and it's not too busy. However, for the past couple years, after years of receding water levels, the levels are now so high it is at the edge of many Lakeside cabins, threatening foundations and causing damage to decks. I think it's because a beaver dam it's blocking the spillway and the board doesn't want to destroy it because... Nature??? But when is the rising water enough? When can the Lakeside cabins have actual beaches again? If the water keeps rising, many cabins are at risk of thousands of dollars of damage each. I don't want that to happen. I still love the lake, just please consider that the high water levels may do more...

Stayed here for a weekend after googling campgrounds with cabins. They have new and older ones. We stayed in the older ones, they are great for what you pay, mini fridge, stove and sink with running water. The showers are hot and cheap ($1 for 7 mins). Beds were comfy enough.

Good play ground and swimming area for children. There is a store that sells basic stuff you'll need and a bar for beer sales. Would go back again.

Only knack is the fire pits, they are all the above...
