What Guests Are Saying

Bear Canyon Campground offers nice views, a warm pool, and well-maintained facilities, making it a pleasant getaway from busy streets. However, the sites are narrow with limited privacy, and noise from nearby trains can be disruptive. While the campground has laundry and full-service hookups, tent camping may not be ideal due to close quarters and proximity to traffic.

The sites are really narrow, our slide out was literally over the bench of our neighbor's picnic table (we talked to them and it was just a couple, we were both only staying 1 night, so they didn't care about the table), and it wouldn't have been possible to put the awning out. The pool was nice and warm. The views are nice. It was quiet.

A little pricey but they have laundry and full service hookups. Trains are very close and the lots are right next to each other. But it was a good place to get free showers and swim. It's a great place to get away from the busy main street. No stores within walking distance.

By far one of the noisiest campgrounds.

Trains and traffic, traffic isn’t bad it becomes a white noise but the trains all hours are horrible.

Ya feel like sardine here anyways because the sites sit right on top of each other.
ZERO PRIVACY in sites.

We won’t be staying here again, it’s really a shame, little bit of reconfiguration and this place could be a prime destination for people wanting to check out area, now it’s a treed truck stop parking lot with aging facilities.

Nice looking campground overall. Well maintained, but had a bad service experience. They have laundry facilities but the times are pretty restrictive. They're locked until the office opens at 9 a.m. ,check out is at 11 a.m. Staff running the place on Saturday (two teenagers) don't actually show up until ~1020, looks like they came in late with coffee. May just be a one off bad experience, but extremely annoying when you paid over $70/night for a spot and you're trying to do something as simple as get laundry done before leaving.

I would not recommend this site for tent campers. This is an RV site with the backyard grass area of their office building available for tents to set up just a few feet away from each other. This works wonderful as a last resort but not a camping experience. The train and the highway are right there along with a street light lamp that will shine bright above your tent. $50 a night seemed pretty steep for what they offer for a tent camping. I understand they have showers and access to laundry and a small pool so they can charge more for tent campers. That's why I say it's definitely more geared for RV campers.
