Overview

Piedmont Park is a spacious, activity-dense recreation area on the shores of Missouri's Clearwater Lake. Water sport enthusiasts love the lakes diverse offerings, from boating to jet skiing and canoeing to swimming.

Clearwater is considered a "wilderness lake" because it lacks private boat docks and offers plenty of unspoiled shorelines to explore. The beautiful area is enhanced each spring by flowering shrubs and trees like the redbud, hawthorn, dogwood and wild plum.

Recreation

Wildlife viewing is popular with wetland waterfowl, fox, deer and geese.

Picnicking is also a favorite pastime, as is lounging on the beach, boating and fishing.

Facilities

Piedmont Park Campground offers 97 sites, including many with electric and water hookups. Additional amenities include a dump station, hot showers, picnic shelters, a boat ramp, playgrounds and a swimming area.

Natural Features

Visitors can sit under the shade of a sycamore or maple tree and look out across the lake to the lush but rugged terrain of the Ozark foothills.

The vicinity is noted for the grandeur of its hills, natural springs, and general outdoor beauty. The shoreline is studded with high picturesque bluffs covered with sweet williams, indented bays and quiet coves.

Nearby Attractions

Camp host was no help at all for anything. Wasn’t told about boil order that was in effect, drank the water for the first 24 hours we were there. Glad it wasn’t serious! Only seen a park ranger one time the first day we were there, ( out of 5)needed more patrol for the fast drivers thru the park…there were children riding bikes and it was terrifying to watch…the camp host drove faster than anyone on the once a day drive thru check. So much for quiet time and it wasn’t kids…noise until 2:00 am. Last but not least our camp site was terrible, trash left in fire pit, no grass just roots and rocks and just enough room to walk out our door on asphalt then big drop off. I have camped here all my adult life and this was the worst. The good thing was the restroom and showers were clean.

Very nice park . Camp host is wonderful. She was so helpful. Beware that site B32 says it is for a camper but it Very hard to back into. Our camper is 28ft and it took about 20 minutes to get it backed in. This was our first time so I booked site unseen. We enjoyed our stay Very much.

According to my daughter, the best parts were the location - close to clean bathrooms with electricity and running water, and it was easy to walk to activities in the campground like the swimming beach, the playground, and the cut-through path to the other loops. The hosts were responsive and helpful.
