Bear Canyon is praised for its stunning beauty, particularly during the fall, and the ease of online reservations. However, there are concerns about the need for improved amenities, including bathroom facilities and shade. The campground is considered overpriced given the current conditions.

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.

Remodeled but not improved - need to cover some of the tables. There is zero shade. Need to once and for all get the bathroom situation repaired or at least put porta potties on a site that holds so many campers and gets day use as well. Overpriced for what’s onsite!
