  • Camping

    ​Clear Fork and Iron Creek campgrounds are open. A full closure is planned at some point for Clear Fork for upgrades/improvements that will last possibly  into Summer of 2019.  Reservations CAN NOT be made on this loop, but until it is closed, you can occupy a site as a Walk-In.  ​

    ​Campers that have a Senior Citizen Aspen Leaf Annual pass affixed to their windshield receive a $3 discount off the normal camping fees on Sunday-Thursday nights only-not including holidays.  Reservations can be made at least 3 days in advance of your stay and can be made 6 months in advance.  Reservations are not mandatory, but highly suggested during the busy summer season.  You can reserve for dates of stay starting with May 18th and ending Labor Day weekend.  Camping is limited to 14 days in a 45 day period.​  After Labor Day weekend, no reservations are needed and all sites are available on a first come first served basis.

     Reservations may be made online or by calling 1-800-244-5613, starting in December for reserved dates starting May 18.  They can be made 6 months out, but must be made at least 3 days in advance of your stay.

  • Cell Phone Coverage

    Sprint cell service is usually good at the park.   There is a cell booster at the office that should work with a few other  carriers.  We DO NOT have public wi-fi, but you can get it in town near the library.

  • Fishing Report

    ​We have had many anglers, both shore fishing and fishing from boats.  They have reported catching pike and large mouth bass, as well as perch and crappie.  ​Remember that there is a lake specific limit on the bass.  They must be 18 inches or larger to keep, and you can only keep ONE.  Statewide limits pertain to all other species.

  • Swimming Conditions

    ​Due to elevated e-coli levels, the swim beach will be closed until further notice.  Once water testing shows a safe level, the swim beach will re-open.

  • Trails

    ​Check out the new trail that attaches Iron Creek Campground to Clear Fork Campground.  This new addition to our trail system allows you to walk from the Iron Creek Campground through Clear Fork Campground and from there to the Peninsula day use area.  All without having to be on the highway.  This new safe trail also provides a story walk​ that starts at the Peninsula.  Read various children's books with your child as you enjoy nature!
