The force of nature. A must see when you are visiting Clearwater. Park the car and walk a little distance to the falls. Go when it rains even. The clouds will give it a beautifull mistFull review by C535INlindav

As we tented I do not know of the RV sites for the town of Clearwater. As mentioned,the first campground is paved all the way but is plain surroundings. There is another campsite further in but the rest of the way is all gravel and is about an hour total from the town site. It is nicer as it near some other small falls and the large Clearwater Lake. For parking pretty much all the attraction sites, including Helmcken Falls has RV parking. When we visited in August last year there were a lot of RV's visiting. I just googled RV sites and we had driven past Dutch Lake which looked nice as well as the golf course in the park too!
