The campground was cleaner & more organized than I've ever seen it!! The gal taking care of things was on top of everything and very pro-active. I've been camping there for several years, and actually made it a point to stop & tell her what a great job she was doing & how great the placed looked. 5 stars for sure!!

While I understand rustic outhouse-style bathrooms will have a smell, the toilet areas seemed to have a much worse smell than others we've used while camping. This campground served its purpose, though - it's right next to the Bean Peaks mountain bike park, which was fantastic. Good for a cheap place to sleep when going mountain biking.

Host allowed side by sides, ohv in the campground website specifically says they are prohibited. She also left the northern gate open so they could come and go without accessing the host entrance.

The host was kind and helpful!
And the side was clean and nice! Not as private as expected but still far away from the next sides.
Unfortunately this side is very close to the restrooms and whenever the wind blowed in our direction we smelled it. But fortunately that didn’t happen too often.
Plus, there were a lot of flies in the restroom. I guess it’s hard to avoid that in summer...
Some germicide in the restrooms would be great.
Moreover, the road is pretty close. It wasn’t too annoying for us but one can hear it.

All in all we liked the place and felt well. It was quite and the nature around was nice.

There was no indication from the recreation.gov web site that we needed to park on the side of the road vs. by the campsite. I was able to find a first come first serve spot that was much better. I tried to cancel my reservation online. It said I was eligible to get $26 back, but every time I tried to submit the cancellation it showed an error. My 3 nights of camping ended up costing me $116. Aside from that, the lady working the camp site was very nice and courteous. Campground facilities were in good order. Great campsite for mountain biking as there are 3 trailheads at the entrance to the campgrounds. All three are great trails. Bean Peak should serve as a role model for other cities trying to attract mountain bikers of varying skill levels. Another trail takes you to Goldwater lakes and was very fun. Across 89 is the other trail which for me was an out and back, 5 miles each way.
