Clear Lake
Clear Lake Campground has a prime location on the shores of Lavon Lake. It is the only shaded campground at the lake, and provides a quiet space for anglers, bird watchers and photographers. The park is just northeast of Dallas, Texas, and just east of the Southfork Ranch, where the hit TV series, "Dallas," was filmed.
