Overview

Clear Spring Park sits along the shore of 30,000-acre Wright Patman Lake within the piney woods of northeast Texas. The campground offers full services to campers. With a boat ramp, playground and swimming area, Clear Spring is sure to provide outdoor fun for families, boaters, anglers and hunters alike.

The campground is located in a southern pine forest overlooking the lake. Many campsites are on the water's edge.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages approximately 55,000 acres of public forestland around the lake, providing habitat for wild turkey, bobwhite quail, squirrel, white-tailed deer, waterfowl and migrating bald eagles, pelicans and ducks. Some poisonous snakes inhabit the area.
