This is a great site. You have ATV trails right out of the campground. Bear lake north beach is an hour away. Oneida narrows is about 20 miles west for tubing and kiacking.

Bathrooms not cleaned. Teenage boys cutting down live trees and being obnoxious, camp host did nothing. Wouldn't recommend this campground unless your with your ward of 50.

We love camping here and have done so for several years! Our only disappointment was the camp host had 2 dachshunds that were loose twice and charged my leashed dogs. After the second time we had to walk to the bathrooms farther away or drive to make sure this didnt happen a third time. The camp host apologized for this but if the rules say keep your animals leashed should the camp host have to abide but the rules also.

I love this campground. And it's close to Bear Lake. Campground is always clean and bathroom. The couple that are the Hosts are very nice , friendly. I needed a little help this last visit and the host was so kind to help me. And we like that we can take 4 wheelers there.

There are a bunch of nice picnic tables, and two cool spots on the ground for grilling. The fire pit has a few benches surrounding it, which was nice, and the kids loved the stream tumbling through camp. The pit toilets (two of them) were clean. The parking area had room for several campers. However, there were not very many flat places for tents -- maybe two good flat spots. There were other cleared areas, but they were not flat.
We didn't have any contact with the camp hosts, but it was nice that there was a trailer for garbage.
