The camp host was absolutely fantastic. Answered all our questions upon arrival and delivers firewood to the campsite when you buy it from him.

We camp at Sunrise every year while visiting Bear Lake and to escape the heat of lakeside camping. Love the semi primitive experience (water, outhouse, fire pit, picnic table only--no hook ups) and the dense alpine forest. We've learned from years of experience that some sites are better than others and whether pull through or back in for our pop up camper. You have to be "Johnny on the spot" to reserve during the open reservation window as sites fill immediately, especially weekends. Garden City is minutes down the canyon road for supplies, eats, and of course raspberry shakes.

It was our first time at Sunrise. It's a very nice campground close to Bear Lake. It was quiet, and the bathrooms were clean. The only thing we didn't like was that there were so many red ants in the spot where we were trying to set up our tent. It was a little unnerving thinking that we had to sleep with them all around and under our tent. Luckily, we didn't have problems with them, but the ants might keep us from choosing this campground next time.

This is a great campground. This is our second time here. The campsite was clean and in the shade most of the day. There were very few bugs. The bathrooms are very clean. Bear Lake is just a short 20-minute drive away. We love it!

We had a very nice camp at Sunrise Campground. Camp host was friendly and helpful answering a couple of questions. Restrooms were clean.
The campground needs to have more than one water faucet for the whole campground. Also the road is in need of repair with several chuckholes.

I stayed at Sunrise campground during the last weekend in June, and it was very cold and wet. At the top of the mountain, our campsite was at least 10 degrees colder than Bear Lake. But we had a great time! Our camp host, Bill, was very nice, and kept us updated on the weather throughout our stay. The bathrooms were clean, and our campsite had plenty of room for everyone. There were some red ants all over the ground when we got there, so bring a tarp to lay under your tent! Overall, great experience though! How can you not have a great time with the lake just behind the trees and some great pals cozied up by the fire with you?

My family has been camping at Sunrise for over two decades. It’s such a beautiful campground and well maintained. The campground host this last season was wonderful and went out of his way to make sure campers were happy with their experience on the campground. I highly recommend Sunrise for camping if you’re in the Bear Lake area.
