Very Scenic Campground! Beautiful Bear Lake is a short hike from the campground. Spruce trees and Meadows are your view. This area has been known for lots of bears. I did not see any. Love love this Campground excited to go back. Some spots are not very good for RV parking but most are very good spots.

We stayed at camp site 8. The view was beautiful, but it was right next to the dumpsters! The lake is so pretty and good fishing. We will go back!

Great spot! Site 6 was very private with a huge open field behind it - stunning! It was much cooler since at elevation (90 degrees in Denver, 70 at camp but sun was shining so warm). Facilities very clean and host was super friendly. Bought firewood from host. Kayaked on Bear Lake and hiked up to the viewpoint (1.5 mi, once at fence post go right for view of Cuchara - incredible). Didn’t see any bears but we brought spray just in case. We’ll be back!
