What Guests Are Saying
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.

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!

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.
