Nice campground. Our water and electric site was near level and paved. Fire pit and charcoal grill had not been emptied. Cigarette butts and some litter around. Could be cleaner. Overall a good experience.

@RichardW654682 · Camped on Aug 29, 2024 at Campsite #152

as always power went off Saturday twice, after a busy Saturday and Saturday night there was no toilet paper in the morning, beach was nice, camping sites nice and very few people drove crazy fast on the roads this year, love staying here.

@DarrellM160037 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #168

I canceled this reservation and it said there would be a $30 cancelation fee which I agreed to. I have not been refunded as of today.

@RosaV0393994C6 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #299

Peaceful and beautiful sunrise/sunset. Player had wasps and a lot of spiderwebs.

@AaronS9956434 · Camped on Aug 10, 2024 at Campsite #166

Great campsite , sites are in great condition! Facilities are nice too!

@BenjaminB63849 · Camped on Aug 8, 2024 at Campsite #109

Nice place, nice & helpful staff. Our first night (Thursday), 2 different camp sites across from ours had "squatters" show up around 11:30 pm. They kept their headlights on (cast right at our campsite) while they loudly struggled to setup camp until 2am. Then they bolted 1st thing in the morning. I checked, there was no reservations or posted forms that those sites were every rented. It kinda ruined the first night. After that, pretty good overall. So, certain individuals made it a challenge at first, but the site itself was great.

@AnitaF2F2330A2 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #C84

My site didnt have a whole lot of shade and we lost electricity twice while we were there not good when its 100 outside

@BernardoC1F446 · Camped on Jul 25, 2024 at Campsite #C23

Benn camping there for quite a few years and always a great experience and the grounds are beautiful. Only thing is I wish it was open year round.

@NancyS9263746 · Camped on Jul 24, 2024 at Campsite #299

Beautiful campground! Well maintained, clean, spacious sites, shady, beautiful large lake, quiet. Can't say enough good things. Another Army Corp of Engineers site, so a real value at $22/night

@jammieh7602A1D · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #C31

Always this is my away home. Love it!!!!

@JessicaG555444 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #152

Everything was good!! I wish someone would have told us that the lake was flooded.

@KeithR4150375 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #280

The week AFTER the Independence Day holiday and it was pleasantly quiet and serene at Bloomington East. While it was unfortunate that the recent much-needed rain had raised the lake level so much that the beach was closed, it did mean pleasant temperatures and sufficient greening that the overall experience was quite pleasant.

@EarlRDE013E20D · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #C55

Nice campsite!

@KenW7885314 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #C63

Bathrooms were dirty a good portion of the long weekend. Campground was pretty much full, so it does take a toll. At one point it appears kids had pulled all toilet paper and threw it all over the restroom. an additional cleaning would go a long way over busy weekends.

@ThomasP9156982 · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #162

The campground was clean and well maintained. Quiet for the most part, although the 4th of July weekend, saw the park full of people enjoying the holiday with barbecues, games, and music. It was fun! The park is ideally located near Kansas City, Lawrence, and Topeka, making day trips enjoyable and easy.

@MartyRDEE31F65 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #C13

The location was peaceful and quiet. Bathrooms were clean.

@TinaH2927752 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #288

Beautiful park enjoyed our stay

@MelissaB359768 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #186

Loved Clinton Lake, great beach, clean sites, quiet camping and warm water!

@EveIC615878E2C · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #C3

We only stayed the one night so didnt utilize the lake or disc golf. A beautiful campground with nice trees and mowed lawn. We were at Cedar Ridge campsite 003, it was nicely shaded which we appreciated in 90+ degree weather.

@BrendaS7889B15 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #C11

We like camping at Bloomington East but continue to be disappointed in the camp staff. Comparing to reports from other COEs I think we are lacking a bit.

@DebbieH309235E · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #C39

We love staying at Cedar Ridge, but was very disappointed in the custodial cleaning. The bathroom/showers were not cleaned the entire seven days we were there. The only thing that was done was trash & toilet paper refilled.

@VivianaMED7913 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #180

Pros:-Ease of check-in-Site labeled with name & stay details-Clean camping site -TP in restrooms -Some hand soap available in RRNeeds improvement:-More attention to restrooms-Campground map needs update-Better quiet hours enforcement -Friendlier service

@carlaw71101509 · Camped on Jun 11, 2024 at Campsite #187

Great job to the parks crew for picking up and cleaning the park. And it was great having nice new picnic tables.

@RonaldB5973203 · Camped on Jun 5, 2024 at Campsite #281

Our family was in a trailer close to the bathrooms in Walnut area. Everything was in great order and clean. We did have one SNAFU. The water faucet in the middle of our group went out and started leaking. We reported it and started filling coolers with water and toting them away so we wouldn't have a big mud pit. The park maintenance responded quickly and shut the water off. They returned the next day and replaced the pump within 1/2 day. They left the area very clean. There are plenty of activities available. A playground is nearby, the swimming beach is not a far walk (0.5 miles from Walnut) and they have a walking trail. The only thing missing are more campsites with water. In Walnut Campground there are 5 or 6 sites with water, and they are always reserved. The Cedar Ridge campsite has water hookups in all of their sites. All in all it's a great place to camp and relax with friends.

@DanM7848405 · Camped on Jun 4, 2024 at Campsite #299

We picked our site because of the proximity of the playground. The playground is very nice. When the beach is opened, it's wonderful.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
