Welcome to Clearwater

The Upper Peninsula,
without the drive.

Clearwater was built by Mike Neadow β€” a land developer who believed Southeast Michigan families deserved a real outdoor escape close to home. He turned this corner of Northern Oakland County into something park-like and special. Christina and Mikie Neadow have carried on that vision since 2001, welcoming new faces and old friends back every season.

We're old-fashioned in the ways that matter: reservations are made by phone, because a real conversation is the best way to make sure you get exactly what you're looking for.

"The grounds were impressive in size and well cared for. The owner was helpful and friendly. My campsite was large and backed up to a wooded area β€” no road noise whatsoever. I already recommended it to friends."

"Wonderful staff. Wonderful place. Quiet and clean. A beautiful lake, and it took this wandering fool in on short notice. My site looked into a wooded field β€” to my left horses played and an American flag waved in the breeze."

β€” Brawny
