About Travelers of Clear Lake - Your Home Away From Home!
Traveler's is closed for the season and will reopen in April 2023 (weather depending).

Travelers Country Club #1 is a member-owned, seasonal recreational vehicle community nestled on 80 acres of shady oak trees with views of our pond and our private 9 hole-golf course (which is free to members of the community). Although Travelers Country Club #1 is located just 13.5 miles southeast of St. Cloud, Minnesota, we enjoy bountiful wildlife and a quiet, peaceful environment for recreation, relaxation, and renewal.
