Short of driving all the way to the coast in North Carolina, crystal clear water and white sand can be found in abundance in the Tar Heel State along the shores of the gorgeous White Lake near Elizabethtown. White Lake is also a town on its own; it’s a residential resort community, in fact. It’s been a bona fide resort since 1901, when the first business is on record as opening in White Lake. It incorporated in 1951 and has been the summer home and vacation spot of countless families ever since.
When it comes to accommodations in White Lake, there are scores of places to stay.
Generations of North Carolina's children have spent many summers along the white sandy shores of White Lake — and it's no wonder why. It's simply breathtaking here.

Camp Clearwater encompasses 1,100 acres along the shores of White Lake and offers many amenities, including the beautiful Clearwater Chapel, which makes a beautiful attraction for any photograph.
