Our campsite was double booked for some reason. Got a call the day before and had to cancel my whole group. Still haven't seen my refund

Camp sites where filthy and can not fill trailer with camp site payed for water only get 5 gallons a day. won't be back to Emigration camp ground or any in the bear lake valley, same person runs the whole valley. you can literally park up the hill 1 mile in a paved parking area and camp for free with a bathroom.

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.
