We stayed in one of the group sites. It was great for our crew. It’s close to lots of fun things to do and we’ll stay here again. Gave 3 stars for:
- campsite wasn’t clean when we arrived. Garbage was left from previous campers.
- bathrooms weren’t clean. Only saw them get cleaned once the whole 4 days we were there.
- flies are unbelievable! The are fly trap bags all over. We added more and that really helped.
- by one of the picnic tables there was a horrible smell. .. like a dead animal. We finally figured out it was one of the fly trap bags and moved it.

We love coming to this campsite every year with our family. It's so beautiful and close to Bear Lake. The bathrooms are super clean and well maintained. The biting flies were a bit miserable this year, so come prepared.
