CAMP CLEARWATER
WHITE LAKE, NC
Camp Clearwater is one of those old-school White Lake places where the whole trip centers around lake days, golf carts, sandy feet, and families coming back year after year. The campground sits right on the clear waters and white sand of White Lake, giving guests a private beach, piers, swimming access, a boat ramp, sports courts, playgrounds, arcade fun, mini golf, ice cream, a camp store, and plenty of room to settle in whether they are staying for a weekend, a season, or the winter. Their RV sites include full hookups with water, sewer, and 30/50 amp electric, while tent campers get access to bathhouses, picnic tables, the beach, playground, and camp office area.
What people seem to love most is the big family-campground feel: kids riding bikes and golf carts, folks gathering at the beach, weekend events, bingo, music, food trucks, holiday weekends, and the kind of place where seasonal campers treat it like a second home. Third-party listings and reviews describe it as a lively campground with a mix of permanent, seasonal, and transient sites, clean facilities, friendly staff, a popular swimming area, piers, arcade, ice cream, gift shop, and organized activities. Camp Clearwater’s official calendar also shows that the campground is active well beyond summer, with events from New Year’s Day through Christmas and a full 2026 activity schedule.
