Our first time camping here for Blatz fest weekend with friends. Not a bad campground overall. Bathroom shower ate my $ and didn't give me water :( Office lady was very helpful getting us checked in. Very sad part is COMUNICATION was horrible both Friday night and Saturday. They were none of SMELT fish left and hours later was told and that if I ordered something else it'll be another 40 mins after 2 hours of waiting. After we placed our order, salads, cheese and 1 kind of soup was completely empty. Cucumber and tomatos had like 3 pieces left...Saturday no one knew where the sign up table was. No one running the table knew what time the sat event starts. I also found out that this placed has been running by new owners for 2 years now. I would think they got them issues resolved by now or let's hope that thise issues are fixed.

I visited Bear Lake Campground on 3 separate weekends this summer, and each visit was fantastic. The grounds are clean, tidy, and well-maintained, and the owners go above and beyond to create a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere.

Almost every weekend, there are social activities or events—many featuring live bands or DJs. My favorite weekends were the 4th of July, which included an amazing fireworks show, and the end-of-summer celebration, including the corn roast, glow party, and craft fair. All were well organized and a great time for campers of all ages.

The campground features a cute cash-only tiki bar by the lake, plus a main bar and restaurant with affordable drinks and a superb Friday night fish fry. I had the three-cheese haddock with steamed veggies—complete with salad bar and soup—and would give it 4 stars. There’s also Bailee’s Bloody’s bar cart that drives around the campground most weekend mornings offering homemade Bloody Mary’s - what a treat!

Swimming is highlight at Bear Lake, with two beach areas: one grassy & one sandy, both spacious enough for a nice afternoon by the lake. The Camp Store is another perk, offering ice cream, camping essentials, fun merch, and kayak rentals.

What truly stands out is how respectful the campers are and how well the owners maintain the property. It’s clear they care deeply about the guest experience.

I can’t recommend Bear Lake Campground enough—whether you’re looking for lake access, social events, or a family-friendly atmosphere, this is the spot for you!
