The area has been cleared of all trees because the wind damage and there is no shade in Blue or Bear Lake campgrounds.
The camp hosts at Bear Lake are wonderful people and very accommodating.

The campground host was very helpful. He told us about several hikes in the area and we enjoyed them all. We would not have known about the Vista Point Trail near Cordova Pass. The views were well worth the drive and short hike.

We did not get the site that we thought we would, the site that we booked was two small for our travel trailer, so we took the only other site that was open, but it did not have a picnic table there, also we were not aware that the entire campground had lost almost all of its trees to some kind of a disaster. So, we ended up leaving a day early. And have no thought of going back anytime soon.

Beautiful location! Well maintained and very helpful camp hosts. All in all I highly recommend. We had space #5 and were very happy. Nice big bear boxes too.
