Bear Canyon is praised as one of the most beautiful campsites, particularly during the fall. The online reservation process is noted for its convenience. However, there is a suggestion to improve the water source.

One of the most beautiful campsites I've ever stayed at, especially when the fall colors had come around when I was there. Reserving the site online made it so easy too! I will definitely come back to this campsite in the future.

I didnt see on the original site that we needed to hike our stuff to our camp. Husband was not thrilled. Lots of cow poop all over the camp site.
The group sites are better and closer to the bathrooms. Plus you do not need to hike to those.
We camped in July, not busy at all and not much water left in the creek.
