Great group site, plenty of room and only a quick trip to local lakes for swimming or fishing!

Summary
Bear Springs Campground offers a fun experience for visitors, although it's important to note that there is no water available on-site. Expect to encounter many caterpillars if visiting in early August. It's advisable to bring extra toilet paper, as the vault toilets may run out.

No water. No power. Bring your own tp and washing up supplies or santitizer. The toilets need to be neutralized WAY more often, but it's a very nice secluded quiet place to be in the forest and still see stars.

We took 9 Girl Scout families here to site D and it was perfect for us. Lots of yellow-jackets this year, though! Otherwise the big open space was ideal for a large communal kitchen and also a social campfire circle, with plenty of space around the perimeter for tents, and a great pull-in spot behind the bathroom where I could park a trailer still hitched to my car. Host was great, bathroom was fine given it's a vault. No wild animals found or sign observed except for birds and a squirrel, although we never formally went tracking. As far as we could tell, only grey jays visited our kitchen. Would absolutely recommend, although hiking and activities are not right there.

This place was nice and quiet with big shade trees. It only had one vault toilet for 21 sites and it became unusable by the end of the stay.
